Housewife Gone Wild by Thanddeus Embereley novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79

I had already reserved a private room at a fancy restaurant. On the table for ten, I put out the Bordeaux I had brought along. It was the wine Jared left at home, and I used it as a favor.

Of course, the few wine–loving top executives stared right at the bottle, eager to get a taste. “Mr. Holcomb and Mrs. Holcomb seem close. Mrs. Holcomb, you’re lucky.”

“You two have great genes. Have more kids, don’t waste it.”

I quietly put down my glass. Then, right away, I picked up Jared’s glass and smiled, “Pregnancy prep? Once we build the Harmonia Hotel brand and make it big, then we’ll think about another baby.”
