Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 195 We Should

Break Up

Without a doubt, Hadley saw it–two distinct lines..

“Oh…”

A gasp escaped Hadley’s lips as she clasped her hand over her mouth, a surge of exhilaration washing over her.

It was a positive result!

She was indeed expecting!

She had indeed hoped for this, but she hadn’t expected it to be this effortless!

How long had it been since she and Eric had been together? And now, a pregnancy!

Reflecting on her first pregnancy with Joy, the ease of it all echoed similarly. Barely two months into their marriage, having been intimate only a few times, and she was expecting.

“Oh, this is truly marvelous!*

Overwhelmed with joy, Hadley found herself performing a spontaneous dance.

Her earlier regrets from the morning’s missteps faded; all was now right in her world. She was pregnant!

She no longer needed to worry about lowering herself before Eric–because she didn’t need him anymore! “Thank you, thank you!” A rush of excitement surged through Hadley as she whispered gratefully, “Thank you, God.”

She felt a profound sense of being cared for.

“Eric, thank you as well,” she added quietly.

If this pregnancy could lead to saving Joy, she was ready to let go of all past grievances against him. The next time they crossed paths, she would engage him with the detached kindness due to a stranger.

As the evening unfolded, the performance proceeded as planned.

She was committed to completing the schedule already set.

Having experienced pregnancy with Joy previously, she was familiar with how to take precautions. Soon, she planned to discuss her resignation with Blanche.

This baby represented not just a personal joy but a lifeline for Joy’s survival. To this end, Hadley was prepared to sacrifice all else.
