The Heartbreak Prescription (by Glazed Snow) novel Chapter 1170

"Yeah?" Nathan replied.

Ivy buried her face deeper into his chest and murmured softly, "I'm sorry."

Even in her dream, she was apologizing to him.

She truly meant it.

Nathan's lips curved faintly with helpless amusement.

"It's okay," he whispered.

Just those simple words.

She had lied to him and used him. She didn't love him.

She only wanted him to give her a child.

All of it… He let it go.

Nathan leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.

"Goodnight."

He closed his eyes.

The next morning…

Warm sunlight filtered through layers of curtains, brushing across Ivy's face. Her long lashes trembled as she slowly woke.

She had slept unusually well. Her whole body felt relaxed and heavy with comfort.

It was warm, almost like sleeping beside a heater.

Her hand moved lazily, landing on soft fabric. She slipped her fingers beneath Nathan's pajama shirt, touching his chest without thinking, her hand drifting lower.

A large hand suddenly caught hers, and a familiar low voice sounded above her.

"Done yet?"

That voice…

Ivy's eyes flew open.

Nathan's handsome face filled her vision.

Her mind blanked for several seconds before reality crashed in. She was in Nathan's arms. And her hand was still inside his shirt, probing downward.

Her face instantly flushed bright red.

"I'm so sorry!"

"I know," he said quietly. "I know the baby's there."

"Then why…"

He lowered his head and kissed her.

His clean, cool scent surrounded her instantly, overwhelming her senses.

Last night, he hadn't even been home when she fell asleep. Now, she had woken up in his arms, being kissed by him.

Her cheeks burned.

"Nathan…"

He brushed kisses along her neck and answered softly, "Yeah?"

"You shouldn't… The doctor said no intimacy during the first three months."

Nathan casually began unfastening the buttons of her sleepwear, his voice low and rough.

"The doctor said no sex. Didn't say I couldn't kiss my wife."

Ivy bit her lip, flustered.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
