Chapter 935

Jonah paused for a moment. Then, he asked while staring at Hailey’s flat stomach, “What’s wrong with your belly?”
Hailey threw the question back. “What do you think?”
Jonah’s large hand came to rest gently on her stomach, moving in slow circles.
Uncertain, he said, “Don’t tell me
Hailey wore a faint smile. It seemed he had figured out that she was actually pregnant.
What would he say?
She looked at him expectantly. “Jonah, I—”
“Is it because I hurt you last night? Is that why you came to the hospital?”
Hailey fell silent. The hope in her eyes vanished in an instant.
What kind of logic was that?
She wasn’t in pain-she was pregnant!
His icy expression softened slightly as he continued to caress her belly. “If I hurt you, you could’ve just told me. There’s no need to hide it. Otherwise, I might get the wrong idea.”
Hailey closed her eyes, clearly disappointed. It looked like she had no choice but to spell it out.
She took his hand and pressed it gently. “Jonah, there’s something I need to tell you.”
“What is it?” he asked.
“I’m preg―”
Before she could finish, a soft ringtone chimed. Someone was calling Jonah.
He took out his phone and said, “Let me get the call first.”
It was Jeremy, his assistant.
“Mr. Pilsner, you’re still not at the office? Mr. Wilberforce from Sterling Corporation
has been waiting quite a while,” Jeremy said over the line.
Jonah frowned. He had completely forgotten about it.
After bringing Hailey to the hospital, he hadn’t left her side.
In his mind, she was all that mattered. Everything else faded into the background.
Jonah replied, “I’ll head to the office right away.”
Then, he hung up.
He turned back to Hailey and said, “I need to get to the office.”
She gave a small nod. Clearly, this wasn’t the right time to tell him.
She would find another moment later.
“Go on, Jonah. I’m heading home soon. I haven’t been back in days my parents are probably worried.”
“I’ll take you,” Jonah offered.
“No,” she said quickly. “You should go to work. I can get home on my own.”
Jonah said firmly, “Not happening.

Jonah looked at her and said, “Go get some rest. I’ll call you later.”
Hailey nodded. “Alright.”
Then, he drove away.
Ewan had been at the hospital the whole time.
Before long, Joanne rushed in. She hurried to him and asked, “Mr. Ewan, what was so urgent that you had to call me here? And what happened to your face?”
Ewan touched the bruise on his cheek, his expression dark. “Jonah hit me.”
“What? Jonah hit you? Don’t tell me… Hailey’s back with him again?”
Ewan stared at her. “Hailey’s pregnant. How could you not know something this big?”
Hailey was pregnant?
