Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230: You like it?

Jessica never expected her pregnancy would spark such immediate plans. She had thought Davis might hesitate—perhaps contemplate whether to accept or reject the news. But seeing the joy radiate from him, she was relieved. At least now, there was nothing more to worry about.

Maybe, just maybe, this was the place she could finally call home. A place where her heart would find peace. A heart that would always have room for her. A man whose arms felt like the safest shelter.

After a fulfilling breakfast, she spent quality time with Davis, talking about their hopes and dreams for their little one. As Davis had rightly said, it was time to see a doctor and confirm a few facts. She made a mental note to see to it.

A few minutes before 10 a.m., Jessica gently pulled herself from Davis’s embrace—her safe haven since morning. He had clung to her like his arms could shield her from every harm.

"Duty calls," she smirked, flashing him a mischievous smile. His face darkened at her decision, but he said nothing.

"Be good. I’ll be back safe and sound. Keep frowning like that, and you’ll get wrinkles," she teased.

Davis couldn’t care less about wrinkles. What terrified him more was exposing his family—his growing family—to danger.

He trusted Jessica to handle matters on her own, but with another life now growing inside her, the weight of responsibility had doubled. He had to protect them—both of them.

Left with no choice, he got dressed and accompanied her. When Ethan saw them getting into the car together, a knowing smile crept onto his face.

He had expected this outcome ever since his boss had mentioned keeping Jessica away from the interview she had worked so hard to prepare for.

She had spent several days reviewing documents, reassigning staff, and even creating new departments tailored for the upcoming launch. Her efforts were thorough and admirable.

With everyone settled in the car, they drove off, the vehicle slicing through traffic with swift precision. In no time, they arrived at the venue.

The interviewee was already seated, waiting. Jessica, Mr. Stan, and Ethan took the lead. The process was smooth and efficient, and within a few hours, the interviews had concluded.

Before it ended, Davis had placed an order for food and drinks—ones he had read were ideal for pregnant women. When Jessica saw the waiter walk in with them, her mouth twitched in protest.

She couldn’t help but mourn for herself. If this continues, I might be obese before childbirth, she thought.

After the interview, they boarded the car with the intention of going home. Davis’s arm held her tightly while she slept deeply beside him. She had pushed through the interview with sheer willpower. The moment they entered the car, she had told Davis she needed a proper nap.

She had adjusted to a more comfortable position and with the right temperature of air conditioner, she quickly dozed off in his arms.

"Ethan, take us to the house location," Davis instructed, casting a soft glance at her sleeping face.

Ethan nodded, passed the directions to the driver, and they quickly took an alternate route—one that led to an upscale part of the city that radiated luxury.

According to Davis, he wanted a well-furnished apartment in a highly developed community with good amenities and strong security.

Davis knew his situation was unique. He couldn’t afford to take anything for granted.

Soon, they arrived at the gates of a luxurious estate. Ethan stepped out to present the access pass, and they were granted entry by the security team on duty.

Despite her time in Noveria, Jessica hadn’t had the chance to explore its serene beauty. She made a silent promise to herself to take a tour around the town before leaving. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
