Читать книгу A Baby For Christmas - Linda Ford - Страница 3

“I’m so sorry. It seems I’m always causing you a problem.”

For some silly reason the words caught in her throat and wobbled.

Nate clasped her shoulders and looked into her face as if searching every corner of her mind. “You are not a problem to me.”

Louise told herself it was only words, perhaps for the benefit of those who couldn’t help but overhear. Despite her arguments to the contrary, she believed him. For the moment, she’d allow herself to be comforted by his admission.

She read the words and turned the pages, but couldn’t have said what the story entailed. Her thoughts wouldn’t settle. It was merely worry, she told herself, about getting to Eden Valley Ranch before the baby came. Concern for the safety of the little life she carried. But in a moment of honesty she admitted that her predominant thought centered on Nate. Why was he being so nice to her? Treating her as though he really cared when they both knew he was only doing this out of a sense of obligation.
