“Jov?”

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

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

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.

But the memory of Remington’s cold response to her previous pregnancy and his indifferent “Get rid of it” weighed heavily on Lizetta’s heart.
