No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 190

I've never been a mom, but my heart tightened at her words. "Hold off on anything final. I'll reach out to Conrad."

"Are you sure you want to get mixed up in this?" Fanny asked.

I hesitated. "I just saw her yesterday, and now she's going through with this today. If I don't tell Conrad, who knows what he'll think. Besides..."

This baby was Aiden's only legacy.

I ended the call with Fanny and dialed Conrad.
