His Private Chef (by Amycee) novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165

We agreed someone had to know the gender to plan the reveal. I asked Jay first, but Laura burst out laughing, shaking her head like I’d just told the best joke of the night.

“Wrong choice. Liam will bribe him in thirty minutes.”

She wasn’t wrong.

I turned to Sophia. “What about you, Soph? Can I trust you with this?”

Laura nodded approvingly. “Now that’s an excellent choice.”

Before I could reply, Laura stood, already reaching for her phone. “I need to call your mother. We have a party to plan.”

And just like that, the baby shower was officially on.

When Sophia and I finally left the Black residence and returned home, Liam was already there.

I found him stretched out on the bed, grinning so wide it was almost boyish. The joy rolling off him filled the room with a warmth that pulled me in before I even spoke.

“What are we celebrating?” I asked, raising a brow. “Or are you just lying there smiling for no reason?”

His grin widened. “What’s there not to celebrate?”

I folded my arms. “Liam Black, out with it.”

He lifted his hands in mock defense. “But I’m always smiling.”

I snorted. “Please. You brood more than you smile. Try again.”

He let out an exaggerated sigh, though the warmth in his eyes betrayed him.

“Alright, you caught me. After your live show, the calls started pouring in, congratulations one after another. I’ve achieved a lot in my life, Em. Deals closed, launches pulled off, awards collected. But this… hearing people celebrate me as a father, that’s the best feeling I’ve ever had.”

My chest softened. I looked at him lovingly, even as I teased, “The baby isn’t even here yet and

He chuckled, unashamed. “I can’t help it.”

I nudged him with my elbow. “By the way, Laura’s already planning the baby shower. Just thought you should know

“When’s this baby shower supposed to happen? And where?”

“I’ll talk to Laura about the details, but it’ll probably be either here or at your parents‘ place. Nothing over the top.”

His brow furrowed. “And who’s keeping the big secret?”

“Sophia,” I said without hesitation.

Liam groaned. “Sophia? No. Anyone but her.”

I laughed at his expression. “Why not? She’s perfect for it. She’ll never tell.”

“And that right there is the main reason she’s the wrong choice.”

I smirked. “You mean you’d rather have someone who’ll fold the second you wave a bribe in their face?”

Liam’s eyes

lit up,

shameless. “Now you’re catching on.”

I shook my head. “Nice try. You’re waiting like everyone else.

The next morning, I scrolled through the hundreds of comments I hadn’t gotten to from my live show. Most were sweet, but one made me stop.

Emily, I’ve followed you since day one. I’m so happy for you, but please, what’s it like being pregnant for Liam Black? – Elly.

I didn’t know where the impulse came from. Before I could talk myself out of it, I hit “Go Live.”

“Hi everyone,” I said as the notifications went out and my followers began joining. “This one’s for Elly. She asked what it’s like being pregnant for a man like Liam Black.
