No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 190



"Nope, it's on the books. Let me double-check the time," Fanny paused briefly, then a few seconds later informed me, "Eleven o'clock."

I glanced at the clock. It was ten now.

"Did she mention why?" I pressed Fanny for more.

"Just said she changed her mind. Signed the paperwork alone. The baby's over three months along, so they'll have to induce," Fanny explained without skirting any details.

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.

He didn't pick up initially. Considering my recent rejection, I thought he might never want to hear from me again.
