Divorcing My Husband Over His Stepsister's Secret novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327

Anna’s POV

1 sat beside Nora’s bed, gently stroking her hair as she whimpered in her sleep. After she settled back into peaceful slumber, I texted Blake to come stay with het while I returned to my foom.

As I pushed open my bedroom door and flicked on the light, I nearly screamed. Blake was lounging on my bed, wearing only pajama bottoms, his chest completely exposed.

What are you doing here? I demanded, heart racing.

Blake barely glanced up from his laptop. ‘I finished my work and came to bed.

This is my room, 1 pointed out.

He finally looked at me. And? I’ve been sleeping here since you moved back in.”

‘That doesn’t make it right! You need to go back to your own room.”

Blake shut his laptop. “If I can’t sleep in your room, why should you be allowed to sleep in mine?”

I opened my mouth to argue but stopped short. Technically, this entire mansion belonged to him.

“Fine,” he said, reaching for the light switch. Before I could protest, he plunged the room into darkness and pulled me onto the bed beside him.

“I want to hold you while we sleep,” he whispered against my ear.

“Blake, you’re not even wearing a shirt!”

He chuckled softly. “You used to love that. Remember how you’d curl up against me?*

I stiffened in his arms. “People’s preferences change. You need to go back to Nora.”

“Martha’s with her,” he revealed. “You just walked right into my trap.”

Before I could respond, he guided my arms around his waist. “I want you to be the trap,” he whispered, “catching me and never letting go.”

Blake’s POV:

I watched Anna try to pull away, but I caught her wrists, sliding her hands from my chest to my waist.

“Blake, don’t,” she protested weakly.

‘Don’t what? I noticed you staring at my chest earlier.”

“That’s not–I’m not that kind of person.”

She pinched my side hard. I barely flinched.

“You’re right, I conceded. “I’m the one who wants you to touch me.”

When she tried to kick me away, I caught her foot effortlessly.

‘Let go,” she demanded.

‘No,” I replied. “If you won’t let me hold you, at least let me hold your leg.”

She sighed dramatically. “Blake, please. We have important matters tomorrow. I need to sleep.”

I finally released her and stood up. Before leaving. I paused at the door and flexed my bicep in an exaggerated display.

I guess my physique just isn’t impressive enough,” I said with mock disappointment.

Anna’s POV

By six the next morning. I’d barely slept. I dressed quickly and found Blake already waiting downstairs. The tension between us made it impossible to eat, while Nora watched us with worried eyes.

In the car, Blake focused on work calls while Nora crawled into my lap.

I couldn’t bear the tension anymore. I reached over and nudged Blake’s shoulder gently. He didn’t respond, but I noticed the muscle vein at his temple pulsing with barely contained frustration.

his jaw twitching, a

Taking a deep breath, I reached for his hand. The gesture felt awkward and presumptuous, but I needed to break through this wall between us – for Nota’s sake if nothing else.

Blake’s fingers immediately closed around mine, his eyes meeting mine briefly with a wounded look that made my heart clench. I mouthed silently, ‘Comfort her,” nodding toward Nora.

He hesitated before turning to our daughter. “Nora, come to Daddy for a hug.”

Nora looked up cautiously before crawling across to him. Throughout the rest of the drive, Blake and I remained connected, our fingers intertwined. The simple contact sent an unfamiliar warmth spreading through me, something I wasn’t ready to examine too closely.

At the hospital, we were greeted by an impressive medical team of specialists. The pediatric wing was colorfully decorated, but Nora remained indifferent, clinging to Blake’s shoulder.

“We’ll need to interview both parents to understand Nora’s full history,” the doctor explained.

“Of course,” I replied, then turned to Blake. “Will you be busy later?”

Blake looked at me with surprise. “Silly,” he said, brushing a strand of hair from my face. “I always have time for you two.”

A nurse passing by smiled. “You must be the couple from yesterday’s social media sensation!”

Blake pulled me closer. “My wife is shy about public attention.”

“I’m not your wife,” I whispered fiercely.

‘For Nora’s sake, you’ll have to bear being ‘Mrs. Wright‘ temporarily.”

In the examination room, the doctor engaged Nora in assessments. I helped guide her through, my heart breaking as I realized these tests would confirm what I already feared.

The next phase involved observation and tests with various medical devices. When they attached sensors to Nora, she began to squirm. I moved toward the door, but Blake caught my arm.

“Don’t,” he said firmly. “She needs to go through this.”

I watched helplessly as the doctor gently restrained Nora. Tears streamed down my face.

‘She’s so small,” I whispered brokenly.

Blake’s hand found mine. “It’s going to be okay. She’s not showing extreme aversion – that’s a good sign.”

Emotion overwhelmed me. “How would you know what’s good? You weren’t there! You weren’t there for any of it!”
