      “Keira didn’t choose one?”

      “Not a final name.”

      It had puzzled Ella, too. Keira had spent weeks pouring over books, searching websites for inspiration. But she’d never even drawn up a short list. Now Ella knew why: Keira had been dithering about motherhood. Choosing a name would’ve been a tie to bind her to the baby.

      To rid herself of that critical, disturbing gaze, Ella said, “I can ask Keira if there’s one she particularly liked.”

      Yevgeny’s gaze didn’t relent. “You were supposed to be the baby’s godmother, yet you have no idea of the names your sister might have been considering?”

      She was not about to air her theory about why Keira hadn’t picked a name in order to jump to her own defense. She simply stared back at him wordlessly and wished that he would take his big intimidating body, his hostile pale blue eyes and leave.

      “Why don’t you ask Dmitri what they planned to name the baby?” Let him go bully his brother. Ella had had enough. “Anyway, the baby’s new parents will probably want to pick one out. Now, if you don’t mind, it’s been a long day. I’m tired, I need to rest.”

      The baby chose that moment to wake up.

      At the low, growling cry, Yevgeny scooped her up in his arms and came toward the bed.

      No. Panic overtook Ella. “Call the nurse!”

      “What?”

      “The baby will be hungry. Call the nurse to bring a bottle—they will feed her.”

      He halted. “The nurses will feed her? From a bottle?”

      Ella swallowed. “Yes.”

      Disbelief glittered for an instant in his eyes, then they iced over with dislike. He thrust the waking baby at her. “Well, you can damn well hold her while I go and summon a nurse to do the job that should be yours.”

      “She’s not my baby…” Ella’s voice trailed away as he stalked out of the private ward leaving her with the infant in her arms.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
