Chapter 3:
“I-I’m sorry p>
“Go get changed quickly, or else you’ll catch a cold.” Ryan seemed too impatient with her to say anything more, so he bypassed her and walked inside the house.
Catch a cold? Only then did Jenessa remember that she was pregnant. She couldn’t afford to get sick, lest she put the baby at risk.
With that in mind, she hurried to her room, took a hot shower, and let the warm water chase away the chill.
Wrapped in a towel, she stepped out of the steam-filled bathroom, only to find Ryan standing in her way.
She gasped in surprise and instinctively clutched her towel more tightly around her chest.
Ryan’s sharp gaze remained fixed on her, and upon noticing her reaction, he asked indifferently, “Why should you be nervous? It’s nothing I haven’t already seen p>
Jenessa’s face flushed bright red as memories of their passionate, intimate nights together flashed before her.
Without waiting for a response, Ryan casually held out a cold medicine pill and a glass of water.
“Here, take this p>
Jenessa hesitated, glancing at the pill in his hand, worried that it might not be safe for the baby.
“Well, I think I’ll be fine without it. After all, I was only in the rain for a short while p>
Unexpectedly, Ryan refused to let her off the hook.

“Have you seen yourself in the mirror? You’re as pale as a ghost. We’re visiting Grandma tomorrow, so you’d better not get sick, you hear me p>
But Jenessa, still worried about the baby, stubbornly resisted.
“I just need to drink something warm, that’s all. I’m fine, really p>
At this point, Ryan’s patience wore thin. He decisively popped the pill into his mouth and drank some water from the glass.
“Ryan, what’re you— Agh!” Before Jenessa could get another word out, Ryan leaned closer, his tall frame looming over her, and grabbed her delicate chin. Forcing her to raise her head, he planted his lips firmly on hers.
The pill and water then flowed into her mouth, and he didn’t loosen his grip until he was certain that she had swallowed the pill.
The sudden kiss made Jenessa dizzy, washing away all her inhibitions.
Ryan’s desires were stirred, and he carried her over to the bed.
He pulled away from her for the briefest of moments to undo his tie, his eyes burning with an all-consuming desire for her.
When Jenessa met his intense gaze, she snapped back to reality and cried out, “No p>
Trembling, she pushed against his rock-hard chest.
“Hmm?” Ryan stopped, wondering if he had misheard.
He tried to kiss Jenessa again, but she decisively turned her head away, avoiding his eyes.
“Ryan, I…” She gulped, struggling to get the words out.
“I want a divorce p>
Her words extinguished Ryan’s desires in the blink of an eye.
Annoyance flashed across his face as he coldly grabbed her chin, forcing her to look up at him. His deep eyes pierced into hers.
