Chapter 954

Soon, there was a knock on the door—it was Jonah. Hailey took a moment to steady herself before saying, "Come in." The door opened, and Jonah stepped inside. The tension in the air was palpable. Although neither of them said a word about it, the memory of what had happened earlier hung heavily between them and was impossible to ignore. Jonah stopped in front of her. "I'm sorry. I should've knocked." "It's fine," Hailey replied. "Did you need something?" "You haven't forgotten our agreement, have you?" Jonah asked. "I said I'd check on the baby every day." Hailey hadn't forgotten. She just hadn't expected him to remember—not after she saw him leave with Kaia. She assumed he wouldn't come back tonight. "I see," she said with a nod. "Go ahead." She gently moved her hand aside, revealing her baby bump. Jonah slowly crouched in front of her, his fingers resting on her belly. With a deep, steady voice, he asked, "Has the baby been good today?" Hailey nodded. "Yes, very good."
