Melting His Frozen Heart
My marriage to Caden Bradley was nothing more than a strategic alliance between two powerful families. For three years, our home has felt like a walk-in freezer. Convinced there was no room for me in his heart, I was ready to sign the divorce papers and walk away for good.
Suddenly, the baby in my womb began to launch a relentless stream of telepathic commentary.
[If Mom doesn't look at Dad soon, his eyes are actually going to fall out from staring at her!]
[Dad tried to sneak a hand-hold last night, but when Mom moved, he was so startled he rolled right off the bed onto the floor. I’m dying here!]
[They called it a marriage of convenience, but Dad is totally whipped. His lips are sealed shut, but his heart is burning to ashes. This is agonizing to watch!]
My breath hitched. I whipped my head around only to collide with Caden’s deep, intense gaze. His entire body stiffened instantly, and though he tried to look away, his ears were burning a bright, tell-tale crimson.
Had the Ice King melted?
Fine. I’d put these divorce papers away for now. Let’s see exactly how long he could keep up this act.
