After returning home, Chloe felt a little depressed. She sat on the sofa in the living room and touched
her belly.
When would she have a baby like Ashley?
She and Nolan had been preparing for it for so long, and Nolan had worked so hard every night.
She should have a baby as a product of their love by now.
'Maybe I should go to the hospital and consult a specialist, ' she thought.
When she thought of seeing Cynthia today and how it felt when she touched her stomach and felt the
child in her, she could not help getting lost in her thoughts.
She even did not notice it when somebody came into the room until a shadow cast over her face.
She snapped back to reality and raised her head to look at Nolan. She said in surprise, "I thought you
were on a business trip."
His business trips usually lasted at least three days. This time, he had come back in two days. It was
sooner than she expected. "Has there been a problem?"
She continued to ask.
Nolan ran his fingers through his hair and replied, "No, everything is fine."
It was just that he missed her. He did not want to away on his business trip for too long, so he came
back earlier than expected. He had finished most of his work there anyway and the rest could be done
by someone else in his team.
He did not expect to see Chloe sitting on the couch in the living room, moping. He wondered if anybody
made her feel that way.
Nolan sat down beside her and put his arm around her waist. "What's the matter? Why do you look so
upset? Did anybody give you a hard time?"
"No, it's not that. And by the way, I'm not a person anyone could bully. I do the bullying, you know that,"
Chloe snapped at him.
Nolan smiled at her answer and thought she was right. It was her personality.
"Then what is it? Why do you look so sad?"
As he spoke, he pinched her little nose.
Chloe glanced at him without saying anything.
Nolan was surprised to see her reaction. In the past, when Nolan pinched anything on her face, she
wildly protested. It was different at the moment.
What had happened to her today? Instead of picking a petty fight with him, she was so submissive.
Chloe threw herself into Nolan's arms and asked, "Do you think it's possible for me to bear us a child?"
Squinting his eyes, Nolan turned his head to look at Chloe. It was so nice to have her in his arms.
"What's wrong? Why do you say that?"
Nolan was a little confused. Chloe had never thought about having children before.
Even if they did not have a child, they could still lead a happy life. Besides, they always thought that
having a child was a big responsibility, even a burden. He did not want a child to compete with him for
Chloe's love and attention.
"Cynthia is already pregnant while I'm not. How can I not be worried? You see, we've taken it so
seriously and worked so hard every night. It's been quite a long time. Why am I not with a child yet?"
Chloe got out of his arms, raised her head, and looked at him.
"I don't know. Maybe the baby doesn't want to come yet. Just let nature take its course. Don't worry
about it."
"Okay," Chloe replied.
The next moment, Chloe's stomach started growling.
Nolan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why haven't you eaten yet? Were you waiting for me?"
"No. I just got back from Cynthia's house. You have no idea what they're feeding Cynthia since she got
pregnant. I didn't eat much there. I wasn't full at all when I came home. I was thinking about asking the
servants to cook something when you suddenly arrived."
"What do you want to eat then?" Nolan asked.
"Are you going to cook for me?" Chloe asked, her eyes lighting up with delighted surprise.
Nolan had attended cooking classes just because he wanted to cook for Chloe. But since he was
always very busy with his work, Chloe only got to eat food cooked by him occasionally.
Smart people learned everything fast.
Nolan just learned cooking carelessly and without even trying, yet he learned to cook much better than
average people.
"Yes."
Chloe soon gave him a long list of dishes.
Nolan frowned. "It's a bit late now. Can you eat that much? It's not good for you to eat too much for
dinner. Just order three dishes."
Chloe frowned and looked at Nolan. "No. You rarely cook for me. You have to let me eat heartily this
time."
"How about six dishes?" Chloe added.
"Two," Nolan bargained.
"Five and no fewer. We can work out a little bit before we go to bed."
Upon hearing this, Nolan raised his eyebrows.
He felt pleased that Chloe was a foodie.
"Deal."
Chloe rolled her eyes at him as soon as he stood up and headed for the kitchen. Men were such sex
animals.
She did not say how they would work out anyway. After dinner, she could just take him out for a walk.
They could walk to a far place, or they could jog a couple of laps. By the time they came back, they
would be too tired to do anything else.
She smirked at her cleverness.
Of course, Nolan had his own ideas.
What would happen tonight all depended on who would have the upper hand.
Thinking that she would eat her favorite food soon, Chloe could not help staying by the door to the
kitchen, watching Nolan cook.
She had to admit that the man was perfect. He was graceful enough to show up on any occasion and
also talented in cooking. What a perfect boyfriend.
It was said that a man doing chores, especially cooking, looked very attractive. Chloe agreed.
Now, he was clad in an apron with white rabbit patterns.
Chloe bought herself the apron when she had the idea of learning how to cook. She spent so much
time online shopping and finally picked the white rabbit one.
However, after purchasing the apron, she realized that she did not have any talent whatsoever in
cooking. So the apron was put away for a long time, but it was not a waste. Chloe did not have the
chance to wear it, but someone else did.
Watching Nolan work unhurriedly, Chloe smiled. She went back to the living room, sat on the couch,
and played with her cellphone.
She just played games for a few minutes, and then she smelled a delicious aroma coming from the
kitchen. She could not sit still after that. She put away her cellphone and almost ran to the kitchen.
There were already two or three dishes on the table, which were all Chloe's favorites. Nolan was still
cooking.
When she came over to the table and saw the delicious food, she could not help sniffing on
them.
