Winning Back His Ex's Wife's Broken Heart by Hayley

Chapter 122

Sarah's POV

I sat on the couch, fiddling with the hem of my shirt as my stomach churned. Not from the pregnancy-this time, it was nerves.

I'd spent the last few hours convincing myself that telling Richard was the right thing to do, but now that the moment was here, I couldn't find the words. Zara's voice rang out from the kitchen. "You've been sitting there for thirty minutes, Sarah. Either go tell him, or I'll do it for you."

I shot her a look. "That's not helping."

"Oh, I think it is," she said, smirking as she leaned against the doorway. "You've been overthinking this for days. Just rip off the band-aid already."

I took a deep breath and stood. She was right, as usual. "Okay. I'm doing it."

"That's my girl," she said with a grin. "Now go, before I grab a megaphone and announce it myself."

I rolled my eyes and headed toward the study where Richard was. My heart pounded as I pushed the door open.

He was sitting at the desk, focused on his laptop, but he looked up the moment I stepped in.

"Hey," he said, smiling. "You okay?"

"Yeah," I said, closing the door behind me. "I need to talk to you about something."

He immediately straightened, his smile fading. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong," I said quickly, holding up my hands. "It's... it's good news. I think."

"You think?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

I took another deep breath, my hands trembling slightly. "Richard, I'm pregnant."

The room went silent. My heart felt like it was about to leap out of my chest as I waited for his reaction. "You're... pregnant?" he repeated, his voice soft.
