The Heartbreak Prescription (by Glazed Snow) novel Chapter 1147

Maybe Ivy's gaze lingered on Nathan's face a little too long. Nathan curled his lips slightly and asked with a half-smile, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Ivy snapped back to herself and said sincerely, "Thank you."

He hadn't asked a single question, but he understood exactly what kind of situation she was in.

Nathan said, "We're husband and wife. If someone messes with you, they're messing with me. If something like this happens again, you can tell me. Or if there's something you want me to do for you, I'll do it as long as it doesn't cross the line."

Warmth spread through Ivy's chest. "What counts as crossing the line?"

"Illegal stuff. Things that break the rules," Nathan replied.

Ivy was speechless. She honestly hadn't expected such a serious answer. After all, she was a law-abiding citizen, too.

Ivy found herself smiling. "Are you saying that as long as it's legal and proper, you'll agree to any request I make?"

"You can try asking next time and see," Nathan said.

He didn't give a straight answer, but Ivy was already very happy.

She was glad enough that her husband, from a strategic marriage, was willing to go this far, no matter whether he meant it or not.

"It's cold out there. Let's go back to the room," Nathan said.

Ivy nodded. "Okay."

After they returned to the room, Ivy lifted the blanket and climbed into bed. "Are you still going to work?"

Nathan asked, "What about you?"

"I'm not planning to work anymore. I'm going to sleep."

She was pregnant, after all. She needed to rest properly.

Nathan set his phone aside. "Then let's sleep together."

They lay down on the bed. Normally, they slept together only after exhausting each other. Sleeping like this, quietly and properly, was actually a first.

Ivy turned over, facing away from him.
