StartNovelChapter 1090:
At that moment, guilt flickered across Carrie’s face as she turned to the servant. The memory hit her—she’d left
without a word to anyone and skipped the usual driver, choosing to catch a taxi instead.
Only Reece knew where she had gone, and he had promised to keep her secret.
Relief softened her features, and she said quietly, “Yeah, | just wrapped up work and decided to head straight
back.”
Daxton, seemingly picking up an odd scent, sniffed the air and frowned. “Are they cleaning again? Why does it
smell like disinfectant all over?”
Now that the servant had stepped away, Carrie kept her tone casual. “With the weather turning colder and
everyone sniffling, we did a round of disinfecting to be safe.”
With a quick glance at Carrie's cheeks, Daxton gave a soft laugh. “You really ought to bundle up now. Medicine
and shots aren't so easy when you're pregnant.”
Somewhere behind his gentle words, a flicker of something unspoken lingered in his eyes.
Since when had his girl grown so skilled at keeping secrets from him? He liked her wit but hated her being
secretive with him. Shouldn't he be the one person in the world she trusted the most? How could she doubt him?
Lost in her own thoughts, Carrie missed the subtle shift in his mood. As far as she could tell, he was only being
his usual protective self. She gave a quick nod. “I understand.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as she was about to say more, he interjected, “Actually, | cto let you know I'll be away for a while.
There's a project overseas that needs my attention. I'll be gone from Isonridge for the next month, so please,
look after yourself while I'm away.”
Her answer cin a quiet whisper. “Oh...”
Ttogether was already scarce, and with this trip, it would be easier to break up with him later. Maybe his
absence would make things less complicated for a while.
Still wearing his reassuring smile, Daxton suggested, “There's no rush tonight. How about we go out for dinner?
My treat.”
Right now, Carrie’s mind was too tangled with worry for Kristopher to think about restaurants and outings.

The doctor's words echoed in her mind—his brain had suffered. It wasn’t serious, but it reminded her of people
who'd stayed up all night working. Only Kristopher’s trouble had been caused by drugs. Unseen consequences
still haunted her thoughts.
She took a breath and made up her mind. “Let’s stay in. I'll have something made here. I'm a bit worn out from
work today—hope you don’t mind.”
No trace of annoyance crossed Daxton’s face. He just smiled. “That works for me. I'd hate to inconvenience you
anyway.”
Hearing that, Carrie let out a small sigh. “Really, it's not any trouble. My cousins won't be back for dinner, so I'd
be eating alone. It's hard for the cooks to prepare just for me, and | can’t finish much by myself. I'm glad you're
here to keepcompany.”
