Remington was momentarily stunned, but a slight smile began to play at the corners of his lips.

Previously, she was so resistant to telling him about the pregnancy even under pressure.

Now that she had finally spilled the beans, could it mean that her thoughts had shifted?

Lizetta nodded, taking Remington’s hand and placing it on her belly, looking up at him with a mix of trepidation and nervousness.

She realized that no matter what, Remington was Joy’s father, and he had the right to know.

If something happened to him and he didn’t even know about the baby, it would be an irreparable regret, both for him and for her and Joy.
