Chapter 320: Overwhelming attention
Ava grabbed her phone and dialed his number. It barely rang twice before he picked up.
"Hello," Dylan answered, his voice rich with warmth and unmistakable affection.
She didn’t bother with pleasantries. "You sent the driver again," she accused, her tone sharp. "You already sent him with a fruit salad this morning and now with soup."
Dylan remained unfazed. "You left early," he reminded her calmly. "You barely had breakfast. So, I sent the fruit salad. And now, it’s still an hour before lunch. The baby must be hungry, and I thought soup would be a good choice."
There was a pause before he added with deliberate sweetness, "Did you like it? I specifically asked Martha to make that for you."
"Dylan, I come to work to actually work, not to eat all day," she hissed, lowering her voice in irritation. "If I feel hungry, I can grab something from the canteen."
"No." The playfulness in Dylan’s tone vanished. "You are not allowed to eat anything from outside." Then, after a quick glance at his wristwatch, he added, "It’s time for your medicine now."
Ava pinched the bridge of her nose, realizing just how easily she had forgotten about her medicine. If Dylan hadn’t reminded her, she would have skipped it entirely.
A wave of warmth spread through her chest, her heart swelling with a mix of adoration and exasperation. But there was no way she would admit that to him. If she did, he might just show up at her office every day, personally overseeing her meals and medication.
"You better focus on your work," she said bluntly, trying to sound unaffected. "Don’t worry about me."
Knock-Knock...
