Divorced for Being Barren, I Came Back Pregnant by His Rival novel · Chapter 7 of 24
Chapter 7: Fourteen Days
August VanDusen had stood outside this glass wall for two weeks, and he had learned to read a man's back.
Eliot Standish worked with his sleeves pushed to the elbow and his head down.
When he was wrong he muttered.
When he was right, which was nearly always, he went completely still, and then his shoulders dropped half an inch.
It was Friday, ten past four, and the shoulders had just dropped.
August watched the lab tech beside him lean in to read the screen.
Then the tech spun around with both fists in the air, and the whole bench erupted.
Ninety-four percent.
Crystallization yield at scale, in a process VanDusen had been failing at for three years.
Eliot did not cheer.
He took off his gloves one finger at a time, and turned his head, and found August through the glass without looking for him.
His mouth moved.
*Told you.*
August put his palm against the pane, flat, and felt a stupid happiness go through him from the scalp down.
He had not been this far gone since he was nineteen.
Two weeks, and nobody had said a word about the part that mattered.
