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

Chapter 805:

Hadley, too drained to reheat anything and lacking appetite due to her pregnancy, settled for some soup instead. After finishing, she felt moderately satisfied.

A frown crossed her face as she wondered whether Eric planned to stay out all night again.

Lying in bed, she absently scrolled through her phone, but suddenly froze. A new post from Megan had appeared in her social feed—a photo taken at what seemed like a lively social event.

In the image, a man sat at the long bar counter, facing the bartender, head slightly tilted as he sipped from a clear glass.
