She's Having My Baby!. Raye MorganЧитать онлайн книгу.
you’re not. Get in or I’ll pick you up and put you in.”
She got in. “The contract!” she cried, turning to look at him as he slid into the driver’s seat.
“Hell with the contract, Maggie. Your well-being is much more important than any damn contract.”
Their gazes held for a long moment, and then she looked away. But it wasn’t a surrender, and he didn’t take it that way.
Still, he knew she was afraid of something. Was it her husband? Or something else? He didn’t know, but he was going to take her home and assess the situation for himself. Right now, making sure Maggie was safe and secure was the most important thing.
Pulling out of the parking garage, he glanced at her sideways. Maggie was pregnant. He had to digest this, take it in and evaluate it. He was not going to jump to conclusions this time. He’d done that too often already with other women in his firm. It had been downright embarrassing when the truth had come out—that they each had perfectly rational explanations for their pregnancies that had nothing to do with him. He’d sworn he wouldn’t get caught up in something like that again.
Besides, there was the husband. Was that what had her so upset? He’d brought up pregnancy and here she was, pregnant herself. Maybe her husband wasn’t happy about it. Maybe there was something wrong with the baby. Maybe…
He glanced sideways at her and saw what he was looking for. She wasn’t wearing a wedding ring. He remembered that she’d had one once. He’d noticed, because it had looked very much like the one he’d bought for his wife, Crystal, all those years ago. But it was gone now. His pulse began to race.
Don’t be a fool, he told himself. It doesn’t mean anything. A lot of women take off their wedding rings when they become pregnant. Sometimes it’s because their fingers swell, sometimes it’s because any kind of metal makes them itch during pregnancy. It’s a funny time for a woman.
She gave him directions and they pulled into the parking garage of a high-rise apartment building.
“I’m coming up with you,” he told her before she had a chance to dismiss him. “I want to make sure you’re okay.”
