Billionaire, Let's Divorce! by BELLA

Chapter 372

DENNIS

Now that I heard her mouth those words, I knew I wouldn't be able to hide the sad downturn on my lips. Still forcing the smile on my face on, I nodded in Cole's direction and got out of my seat.

I languidly walked toward the deserted pool table just by the door outside the bar.

There, with no familiar eyes on me, I let the fake smile slide away.

"Dennis?"

The excitement in her voice had dimmed. I didn't want her happiness to wane because of me.

"Can you hear me? Sorry, it's network."

"I thought so too. It's okay. I can hear you now."

"I said I'm pregnant." She gasped. I could imagine her beaming and cupping her mouth as she usually did whenever she was happy about something. "Can you believe that?"

I smiled at the image of her that I conjured up. "Great news. I'm so happy for you, babe," I told her genuinely.

I was actually relieved by the news. All week, she had been strung up, worried that the procedure might not work. It was a relief that she wouldn't have to worry so much anymore. Amie's full recovery was also one step forward now.

The only issue was who fathered the child. I clenched my hand and briefly closed my eyes. I really wished someone else could carry the pregnancy in her place. But it wasn't possible. I'd have to watch her carry her ex-lover's child. It's cool, I told myself and forced a smile on. She's still my wife anyway. It doesn't matter whose baby she's carrying, she's mine.

"Gosh. I just cannot contain my excitement, Dennis. Do you know what this means?"

"I understand. This is just the best news."

She then went on and on about how she was more hopeful about Amie's recovery and all.

Finally, she got off the topic and asked, "When will you be home?"
