?Chapter 817:


    Her tears were unrelenting.


    Overwhelmed, she could barely keep herself upright.


    In a desperate gesture, she reached out and grasped Noah’s arm.


    At this point, denying or making excuses seemed pointless.


    All she could do was make one final, desperate attempt.


    “Noah, you are the only one I’ve ever loved!”


    Hailey sobbed, her voice quaking with desperation.


    “I’m pregnant, but… for our marriage, for the fact I saved your life… Please, let me have this baby. Just think of it as yours, okay?”


    She was pleading for Noah to ept another man’s child as his own.


    Noah listened, finding the idea absurd.


    His chest heaved a few times, but ultimately, he just let out a cold, mockingugh.


    He jerked his hand away from hers.


    The force was so strong that Hailey staggered back.


    Turning away, he said, his voice frosty,


    “Get out.”


    Hailey stood rooted to the spot.


    She hadn’t anticipated that, even after her desperate plea, he would remain unmoved.


    Refusing to give up, she tried again.


    “Noah, please think this over!”


    But Noah’s patience had worn thin.


    He spoke again, his voicemanding and unmistakable.


    “I said get out. Now.”

    Realizing further appeals were useless, Hailey walked into the hallway, her heart full of bitterness.


    She couldn’t ept defeat so easily!


    Noah had clearly fallen for that detestable woman, Sadie!


    Instinctively, she touched her t stomach.


    Would Noah ever ept this child? Given his reaction, it seemed unlikely.


    She couldn’t rely solely on him.


    Her eyes flicked around as she plotted her next move.


    She had no other option.


    It was time to take another risk.


    This time, she had to seed.


    In the study, Noah sighed wearily and slumped into his chair, massaging his temples.
