Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 366

Conrad picked up the hairdryer and started drying her hair himself.

Wiona was caught off guard by how skilled and gentle he was. His fingers moved through her hair with a care that felt almost practiced. This couldn’t be his first time doing this for a girl, could it?

Before she could say anything, Conrad seemed to read her mind. He kept his face neutral. “Alice wasn’t scared of me when she was little. Whenever I had time, I’d dry her hair for her.”

“So, stop overthinking it.”

Wiona blinked. “Oh.” Well, he’d just answered the question she was too embarrassed to ask out loud.

She let out a little sigh. “You’re a really good brother.”

Her thoughts drifted to Kyle. He was her brother, too, but things had always been different with him. Kyle had controlled every part of her life, treating her like a doll he’d raised from the start. If she hadn’t found a way to rebel and pour her teenage frustration into her art, maybe she really would have turned into another Jasmine.

The idea made her shiver. Living her whole life according to what her husband, brother, or father wanted? She would have been swallowed up long ago. She wouldn’t even have the friendship she’d found with Madison.

Lost in these thoughts, Wiona rested her chin on her hand and slowly let her eyes close.

When Conrad switched off the hairdryer, she was already asleep.

He tapped her nose. “Not worried I’ll eat you up now?”

Then he scooped her into his arms and tucked her gently into bed.

When he came back from his shower, Wiona had curled up on her side, her belly round and soft. She looked especially adorable like that.

Conrad slid in behind her and wrapped his arms around her, careful and protective.

Wiona had never slept this close to anyone before. She woke up the second he touched her.

“Ah.” The small sound slipped out before she could stop it.

Conrad only held her tighter. “It’s okay. I’m not going to do anything.”

Now she was wide awake, her body stiff with nerves. “R-really?”

He let out a low hum. “Yeah.”

“You don’t believe me?”

“I actually asked Jason about it,” he said quietly. “He told me it’s fine to be close during the second trimester.”

“But you’re carrying two babies.”
