?Chapter 903:


    Brian felt the world around him fall into a heavy silence. His lips parted, his throat moved, but for the life of him, he couldn’t form a single coherent sentence.


    “I thought you had the right to know,” Rachel finally said after a long pause. “I decided to tell you, no matter what happens afterward.”


    Brian took a moment to steady himself. “Rachel,” he said, his tone serious, “do you want to keep the baby?”


    He didn’t want her to misunderstand his intentions, so he quickly added, “Just so you know, I’d very much like you to. This is our baby, and I want it to be a part of our lives. As long as you’re willing to keep it, I’m ready for whateveres our way. But if you’re not—”


    He swallowed the surge of pain that rose in his heart. “I will respect your decision.”


    “Thank you for understanding.”


    The call ended shortly after, and Brian immediately moved to arrange the earliest flight. He couldn’t wait another day—he needed to see Rachel as soon as possible.


    On their way to the airport, Brian finally shared the situation with Ronald. Ronald was practically bursting with the information. “I think all this excitement has clouded your judgment,” he said.


    “What do you mean? Did I say something wrong? Do you think I upset her?” Brian asked, a note of concern in his voice.


    Ronald raised an eyebrow and gave him a knowing look. “Have you paused to consider why she chose to tell you about the pregnancy?”


    “She said it’s because I’m the father, and I have the right to know.”


    Ronald sighed. “Let me ask you one more thing. If she had decided to terminate the pregnancy, she would have gone ahead with the procedure as soon as she found out. Why would she take the time to tell you she’s pregnant?”


    Brian’s eyes widened, and his palm hit his forehead. A rush of breath escaped his lips as his lips curled into a smile. “So… so that means she’s decided to keep the baby, right?”


    He had been overthinking the situation so much, letting his emotions cloud his judgment, that he hadn’t stopped to think logically.


    He quickly pulled out his phone. “I need to call her again to exin. I can’t have her thinking I don’t want the baby.”


    ?????? ???????? ?????????? ????: g????????ν????????????


    Ronald sighed again. “With all due respect, she’d be asleep by now.”


    “Oh, right. Then I’ll exin everything in person.”


    Ronald shook his head with a wry smile. It was hard to reconcile the confused, agitated man beside him with the formidable tycoon who ruled the business world.


    Then again, not much had changed in that regard. When it came to matters involving Rachel, the great Brian White was always reduced to a lovestruck fool.


    Rachel slept soundly through the night. Perhaps it was the pregnancy, but she slept far longer than usual.


    When she finally awoke, the sun was already high in the sky.


    The warmth of the sunlight was pleasant, and the cool breeze was refreshing. She washed up, changed her clothes, and then opened the windows before heading toward the door.
