You Wanted Her Baby? Congrats, Now You're Both Fired and Broke! Novel - Chapter 119

Chapter 6 Theo paced the Blackwood mansion's grand hall for what felt like forever , restless - until he finally heard a door click open upstairs . He shot up , craning his neck , but only saw Sander step out . " Mr. Blackwood ... where's Jul - I mean , Bianca ? " His voice shook , though he tried to steady it . " I ... I'm here to take her home . " Sander's eyes sliced through him , cold and sharp , making his skin crawl . A long pause stretched . Then Sander's lips curved into a slow , wicked smile . " Who told you the woman I want gets to leave ? " Theo froze . " But before ...

you always- " " Before was before . " Sander leaned back lazily , smirk sharp as a blade . " This one's different . I'm keeping her . What's the matter , Harrington ? Can't even let go of one little mistress ? " Theo opened his mouth , but words tangled up . He clenched his jaw . Finally , he swallowed his fear and spoke .

I'm not just handing her over . " " Oh ? So that's the kind of husband you are ?

He scoffed , forcing a condescending smile . " Even if I had no objections , my wife loves me ...

there's no way she'd agree to sign this , so I suggest you- " Look closer . " Sander tapped the table . Voice ice - cold . " Stop wasting my time with bullshit . " A chill ran down Theo's spine . That old , buried fear resurfaced : would Juliette really not hold this against him ? He flipped the document . Bottom right corner - Juliette's signature . Clean . Decisive . Just as he remembered . Theo laughed nervously . " Coercing someone to sign papers and break up a marriage ... won't look good if word gets out , Mr. Blackwood . " " Coercion ? " Sander's tone was flat .

" I don't force anyone . She's not here only because she was exhausted and fell asleep . " " My patience is thin , Harrington . Sign before I lose it .
