What kind of twisted tastes does Frederick Fairfax have?

That night—he was hopeless! At first, he couldn't even find the right spot, and then he made her beg him.

He was clearly holding back, his breath ragged, but insisted she plead in that soft, sweet voice of hers.

“Beg me, and I’ll let you touch me~” Olivia Young's eyes bore straight into his abs. “I really want to touch your abs—they just look irresistible.”

Frederick Fairfax immediately denied her, “No way!”

“If you don’t want to be touched, then why did you come out here wrapped in just a towel?” Olivia Young snorted lightly. “Showing that much skin—don’t you have any manly decency?”

Not like there were any of his clothes in this room…

And he couldn’t exactly put on something he’d already worn after a shower.

Honestly, just looking at this man and that body of his put her in a great mood.

She loved looking.

She was totally smitten.

Olivia Young’s gaze was so blatantly obvious.

Naked, passionate, bold—she didn’t even try to hide her shamelessness.

That look on her face flustered Frederick Fairfax.

He covered his chest with a towel. “Olivia Young, have some self-respect—are you not embarrassed just staring like that?”

“He’s my husband—what, I can’t touch, and I can’t even look?” Olivia Young fixed her eyes on the part of his abs that the towel didn't cover. “Those beautiful abs—I just have to know what they feel like~”

Amazingly good!

Rock hard.

Just looking at them was sexy.

What a pity the lights were off that night; she’d had no chance to admire them.

Now that she finally could, she planned to make the most of it.

Tonight, she was sure she'd sleep like a baby.

The tips of Frederick Fairfax’s ears turned red. “Shameless—how are you so shameless? You…You…!”

He dove under the covers.

“No more for you!”

“You seem pretty proud of yourself. You’re on my bed now—you really think you can escape? Aren’t you afraid I’ll get hands-on?” Olivia Young reached for his chest.

Why wasn’t he dodging?

Was he sure about that?

If he didn't dodge, she’d really touch him~

No penalties for touching, so Olivia Young let both hands rest on his warm, bare skin.

Frederick Fairfax was not expecting her to actually go for it.

He thought she was just flirting, like that time in the car.

But a real man doesn’t back down from a challenge.

As a result—

The ends of Olivia Young’s hair brushed his cheek. She was so close he could catch a faint whiff of jasmine, see that fair, rosy profile, those full, dewy lips.

Those lips, that side profile—

They looked just like that bad girl from that night.

“Wow, you feel amazing, Frederick Fairfax! You must work out all the time.” Olivia Young’s sparkling eyes met his. “Your workouts are really paying off.”

Frederick Fairfax’s ears burned. “Let go!”

“Just a little longer—when I touch you, even the baby in my belly settles down. He likes cuddling with Dad too, you know.”

“Olivia Young!”

“Baby, your daddy’s so fierce~” Olivia Young finally drew her hands back, but her gaze was lingering and reluctant.

“You little pervert!”

“Say what you want—Mr. I-Secretly-Like-It! You keep saying it was love at first sight for me, but you’re the one parading around half-dressed in front of me. How am I supposed to hold back?” Olivia Young’s smile grew more wicked.

Teasing Frederick Fairfax was just too much fun!

How could he be this adorable?

Frederick Fairfax huffed and turned his back on her.

Olivia Young switched off the light and lay down at his side. “Night, hubby.”

A minute passed before Frederick Fairfax finally mumbled, “The bathroom just didn’t have any of my clothes, that’s why I came out like that.”

“Oh~”

“You mean—you’re not wearing anything underneath?”

“Wait… Are you sleeping naked right now?”

Frederick Fairfax scrambled away in a panic. “What are you trying to pull? You can’t touch there!”

“Where?”

Olivia Young feigned confusion.

“You…You…Olivia Young, you’re so—so fake.”

Meh.

So what?

A little flirting before bed, and Olivia Young was in a great mood~

Sleep.

Olivia Young drifted off almost instantly.

Frederick Fairfax didn’t hear an answer, just the light, even sound of her breathing beside him.

Asleep already?

She really could sleep anywhere, anytime.

He envied that.

Lily’s room always smelled so nice, and even she smelled nice.

Even her sleep smelled sweet.

The next morning.

Frederick Fairfax shot out of bed and bolted for the bathroom, feeling awful.

He needed to throw up again.

One moment, Olivia Young was snug in Frederick Fairfax's arms—the next, he’d flung off the covers and dashed away, leaving her half-exposed.

She quietly pulled the covers back and lazily squeezed her eyes shut, barely willing to move.

A few minutes later, Frederick Fairfax staggered back from the bathroom, looking utterly drained. He slipped into bed, instinctively hugging Olivia Young again and burying his face in the crook of her neck.

Just like when he’d first woken.

He’d been so determined the night before to keep things strict—but now, half-asleep, he was the one clinging to her.

Olivia Young asked gently, “Still feeling sick?”

“A little.”

A quiet settled over the room.

Frederick Fairfax realized belatedly what he was doing and quickly unhooked his arms from her waist. “Sorry, guess I wasn’t fully awake just now.”

“Mm. You’re forgiven.”

“Really?”

“You can keep hugging me if you want.”

…

Frederick Fairfax didn't move. Olivia Young rolled over with a little smile. “Did any doctor ever tell you your vomiting is kind of like morning sickness?”

“Morning sickness? A grown man like me, having morning sickness?” Frederick Fairfax felt his chest.

Thank goodness.

It was nice and flat.

Olivia Young replied matter-of-factly, “Sure. I’ve heard some husbands love their wives so much they get sympathy morning sickness.”

“I don’t love you!”

Frederick Fairfax blurted it out.

“Who knows? Maybe you’re having someone else’s morning sickness.”

Frederick Fairfax visibly panicked.

No way, right?

Could that bad girl from that night actually be pregnant?

Should he divorce Olivia Young?

Frederick Fairfax fell silent, tossing and turning for several minutes before he got up, put on yesterday’s clothes, and quietly slipped away.

She’d left in such a hurry that night, used an English name—could Frederick Fairfax really track her down?

Olivia Young couldn’t wait to see the look on his face when he finally realized his own wife and that mysterious woman were one and the same—and that the baby in her belly was his.

He had no right to blame her.

She’d dropped enough hints.

She’d called him “dad” to the baby so many times already.

Frederick Fairfax was lost in thought all through his morning meetings, instructing his assistant to hunt for clues.

A wig, a private estate with few cameras, everyone attending in masks, English names (some even repeated)—it was a mess. Identities were nearly impossible to confirm.

He’d never even thought the woman from that night could have gotten pregnant.

That afternoon, Frederick Fairfax went to a photo shoot, but he just wasn’t himself.

It took him forever to get through it.

Meanwhile, as soon as Olivia Young returned to Lakeview Manor, her brother Quentin Young called.

“Sis, the company just received Annabelle Winters’s resume. Should we let her in?”

“No!”

“Okay.”

Olivia Young flopped onto the couch. “Aren’t you going to ask me why?”

“No need. Sis’s word is law. If you say no, then it’s a no. Honestly, I thought the same. There are so many big companies in Kingston—why pick ours? Smells fishy.” Quentin Young tossed Annabelle Winters’s resume into the shredder. “Sis, is the baby behaving?”

“He’s super well-behaved. You be good too—keep your distance from Grace Gordon, finish the Gordon Group project, and then stop working with them. You know how spiteful Grace Gordon is.” Olivia Young wasn’t really worried about Grace Gordon anymore.

It was the plot she feared most.

She had to keep away from the story’s drama, but the plot just kept dragging her into a ridiculous love triangle.

She was a married, pregnant woman—why on earth should she get caught up in some melodramatic love triangle?

Give her a break!!!
