Chapter 457

Hailey's heart skipped a beat. Crap! She had let it slip.

She was too angry and heartbroken for Celine and the baby. In the heat of the moment, she blurted everything out without thinking.

She quickly tried to cover it up. "Huh? Adam, you misheard. I never said anything about a child."

Adam tightened his grip on the phone and said, "You did. You said I abandoned Celine and the child. Hailey, are you hiding something from me?"

Hailey felt a bit diffident. Luckily, Adam wasn't standing in front of her. Otherwise, she knew she would

give herself away in an instant. Lying had never been her strong suit.

"Adam, I already told you, you misheard. I never said anything about a child. What, are you suddenly interested in having kids now?"

That question caught Adam off guard. He fell silent.

"See? You don't even like kids, so why are you asking? Anyway, I have things to do. Gotta go."

She hung up before he could say another word.

As he listened to the disconnected tone, he frowned. He was certain that he hadn't misheard.
