Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 826

"Wiona, do not push me away or hide from me," Conrad whispered. "If you are tired and do not want to do anything, just tell me. It is not like we have never spent a night just chatting under the covers. I will respect your wishes. Now, go to sleep."

Wiona was utterly bewildered. Was that really it? Ever since Conrad had finally tasted the forbidden fruit over a month ago, she had barely had a moment of peace, except when he was too swamped with work to come home. She was genuinely exhausted. The constant late nights had left her with dark circles that looked like heavy smoky makeup. Had he really let her off the hook so easily tonight?

Though she could feel he had not entirely calmed down, Conrad stayed true to his word. He did not bother her for the rest of the night, simply holding her close until morning. It felt just like the days right after they got their marriage license, back when he could not touch her.

Feeling contented, Wiona slept soundly.

When she opened her eyes, she was met with a pair of deeply resentful eyes. "Did you stay awake all night?" she asked, jumping slightly in surprise.

Conrad took her hand, kissing her fingers with a pitiful look. "Honey, please do not limit it to just three days a week. I thought about it all night, and I just cannot accept it. You can tell me to stop anytime. You can say no whenever you want. Just do not put a cap on the numbers. It makes me feel... unloved." He buried his face into the crook of her neck, looking completely dejected.

Wiona's heart instantly ached for him. "Why were you agonizing over this all night?" She could hardly believe this ruthless, decisive man had fallen so completely under her spell. She even started to feel like she was the one in the wrong.

Unable to bear his sadness, she patted his back gently and coaxed him in a soft voice. "Alright, alright. I take it back. I will cancel the rule, okay? But you have to promise that when I say no, you will respect my boundaries. Just like last night, you have to be a good boy and go to sleep."
