Ch. Sorry Hayden, I’m Seven Months Pregnant with Another Man’s Baby 121 Sorry Hayden, I’m Seven Months Pregnant with Another Man’s Baby 121

Chapter 9 

A flicker of panic crossed Evander’s eyes at my words. He reached for my hand. 

“Liora, I promise-from now on, there will be no contact. None.” 

“You can have full access to my phone. My assistant will send you my schedule daily…” 

I gently pulled my hand back and smiled. 

“That’s enough. I’m not blaming you. It’s just… some paths, once left behind, can’t be walked 

again.” 

“Evander, I don’t blame you. But I’m not going back.” 

From now on, I only wanted to live for myself and love myself properly. 

The light in Evander’s eyes dimmed bit by bit. 

His lips pressed into a thin line as he stared at me for a long, silent moment. 

Finally, the words seemed dragged from him. “So there’s… truly no chance?” 

I turned around, my voice firm. 

“No. Go find your happiness, Evander. And I’ll start mine.” 

After saying that, I stepped forward and walked straight ahead. 

His hand shot out on instinct, closing on nothing but air. 

All he could do was stand there in a daze, watching my figure fade into the distance. 

That very night, I went to the hospital and had a full physical examination done again. 

When I saw that every indicator on the report showed I was in excellent health, the weight on my heart finally lifted, and I let out a long breath. 

I tallied my savings. With that security in mind, I first rented an apartment for two months. 

Then, I prepared to re-enter the workforce and find that shining version of myself again. 

I polished my resume. Almost as soon as I sent it out, interview offers started coming in. 

I picked a few with competitive offers and scheduled the interviews.

With days, I’d landed a position at a company that was a perfect fit. 

In those first weeks, I was like a sponge, soaking up every bit of knowledge and skill I could. 

Slowly, I stepped out from under the shadow of heartbreak and threw myself into my work. 

One day, after finishing my tasks, I received a message from Sophia. 

[Liora! Long time no see. You vanished last time. Dinner tonight? We need to catch up properly. I 

hesitated for a moment, then replied with a simple “Okay.” 

After work, I went to the address she’d sent. 

But the moment I walked in, I saw a familiar figure-Evander. 

My heart gave a lurch. Without a second thought, I turned to leave. 

Evander reacted quickly and grabbed my arm. 

“Liora, wait. Please. Just… sit with me for a minute.” 

His voice was full of pleading. 

I was silent for a moment, then finally nodded. 

“You weren’t answering my messages… So I asked Sophia to reach out.” 

He looked down, shamefaced. 

After our last conversation, I’d blocked him, resolved to never see him again. 

I just hadn’t expected him to be this persistent. 

Evander sat across from me, his fingers tracing the rim of his cup, his eyes unable to settle on anything. 

Heavy shadows bruised the skin beneath his eyes. He looked pale, drained. 

He asked me questions in a scattered way, from where I was living to how my job was going. 

Finally, I’d had enough. “If you have something to say, Evander, then say it.”
