Wife You Discarded is a Billionaire's Crush novel Chapter 134

The sudden mention of the pills made her choke.

"Cough, cough… yes," she managed, grabbing a napkin and looking at him, confused.

Her parents' pressure about having a baby had made her hypersensitive to anything related to pregnancy.

"I have work to do tonight." he said.
