All Chapters of Married As His Contractual Wife, Now He Spoils Me Silly! : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

AVERY WINTERS After he ended the call, he didn’t say a single word to anyone. Not even a glance. He simply turned around and started walking away.My heart dropped instantly.Without thinking, I reached out and grabbed his arm, stopping him abruptly.“Where are you going, Bernard?” I asked, my voice laced with confusion and disbelief as I stared up at him.I had no idea completely of what was going on. He hadn’t explained anything yet, but one thing I knew for sure… he couldn’t just walk out like this.It was already getting dark. Not too late though. It's just a little past 8 p.m. But still… he couldn’t possibly be leaving at a time like this.He turned to face me, and by then, everyone’s attention had shifted to him, their eyes fixed on him expectantly.“Aaron is not only running a high temperature, but his breathing had seized too," he said, his voice tight with worry, yet firm with authority. “No matter what they do, it’s not working. It's not solving it. We need to leave. Now.”

AVERY WINTERS I can confidently say that Bernard and Ezra have not been themselves ever since we told them about the pregnancies.The overprotectiveness… the constant pampering… the way they won’t let us lift a single finger— it’s almost overwhelming.And it’s not just them anymore.Caleb and Asher now knows about my pregnancy too.Now, we’re all on our way back to the New York. Morning has already broken, though Bernard' private jet had landed late last night.Everything happened so fast.We barely had time to truly enjoy ourselves. Yes… I had fun, but not as much as I wanted to.And honestly?I’m done stressing over things I can’t control, because right now, my focus needs to be on my child.On protecting myself… for my baby… and for my husband's legacy. Am I being selfish?For not putting Bernard's first son before mine?I know I’ve always said I see Aaron as my own, and I meant it… I still do. But... Gosh!I don’t even want to think about it.The mere thought makes me feel guil

AVERY WINTERS “No, no, no…” she started, waving her index finger slowly in the air, her lips curling into a twisted smile. “That’s not how you should say it.”Her eyes gleamed with something dark and unsettling.“It should be... what have I schemed this time? Because I’m already done scheming everything… and I’m winning!” she exclaimed excitedly, a maniacal laugh escaping her lips. “I’m already one step ahead of you, Avery!”“What nonsense are you spewing this time?” I asked again, my voice laced with anger as I glared at her.“Well…” she trailed off, clasping her hands together casually. “Don’t rush it. I will definitely explain everything to you. One... after the other.”She took slow, deliberate steps toward me and began circling me like a predator sizing up its prey.Instinctively, I stepped back.In the process, we switched positions— she now stood where I had been earlier, while I unknowingly took her place, my back now facing the entrance of the room.“It all started when you

AVERY WINTERS Sitting against the headboard, I kept my eyes fixed on Ben as he gently massaged my legs. His touch was careful, almost too careful, and instead of comforting me, it only made my thoughts spiral even more. Maybe I had become too used to the way things usually were between us, because this sudden kindness from him felt unfamiliar. Strange. Even suspicious.There was definitely something going on.“Bernard...?” I called softly.He didn’t stop massaging my legs. Instead, he slowly lifted his gaze to meet mine, his expression calm and unreadable.“Yes, my love?” he answered gently.I stared at him for a few seconds before finally asking, “Why did you do that earlier?”He frowned lightly, pretending not to understand. “Do what?”I narrowed my eyes at him. “Don’t play dumb with me, Ben. You know exactly what I’m talking about.”A quiet chuckle escaped his lips as he shook his head slowly.“Don’t start overthinking things again, Avery,” he said in a reassuring tone, his han

AVERY WINTERS “Ben, you know you really don’t have to come with me, right?” I asked softly, turning to look at him. “I can go to the hospital myself and get checked. I could always come back home with the results and show them to you afterward.”We were currently seated in his car on our way to the hospital.Even though the idea of going to the hospital first thing in the morning had been his, I still didn’t expect him to insist this much on accompanying me. No matter how much I tried convincing him otherwise, he refused to listen.Ben turned slightly in his seat so he could face me properly.Without saying a word at first, he reached for both of my hands and brought them to his lips, pressing soft kisses against my knuckles.“You’re carrying our child, Avery,” he murmured gently. “It’s only right for me to stay by your side through everything. I have to protect both you and our baby.”His hand slowly drifted toward my stomach, caressing it lovingly.“Besides,” he added with a teasin
