Ch. Sorry Hayden, I’m Seven Months Pregnant with Another Man’s Baby 122 Sorry Hayden, I’m Seven Months Pregnant with Another Man’s Baby 122

Chapter 10 

Evander took a delicate box out of his pocket and slowly opened it. 

Inside, a diamond necklace caught the light, glittering brilliantly. It was clearly worth a fortune. 

“I saw this and thought of you immediately. I had to have it for you.” 

I knew enough about jewelry to recognize it as the work of a master-a piece symbolizing 

unwavering love. 

I’d always loved anything that sparkled, and Evander knew that. 

I knew this was his way of apologizing, but I felt nothing anymore. I had no intention of accepting his feelings again. 

I gently shook my head and refused. 

“It’s too much. I can’t. I’m sorry, but I should go.” 

With that, I stood up and walked away without looking back. 

Evander stayed where he was, staring blankly at my retreating figure. 

James walked over from a table in the corner. He stopped beside Evander, raised his hand to pat his shoulder, and let out a long sigh. 

“Well, she’s made her choice. What now?” 

Evander clenched the necklace in his hand and spoke in a low voice. 

“I’ll wait for her.” 

“Wait? For what? She won’t even look at you. Don’t tell me you’re planning to wait a lifetime.” 

“Yes.” 

James laughed in frustration. “I told you, man. You’re a day late and a dollar short. 

“In the book, you waited a lifetime for Sophia. Now you want to do it all over again for Liora? You sure?” 

“I’m sure. I owe her that much.” There was stubborn determination in Evander’s eyes. 

James fell silent for a moment, then sighed again.

“What a pair you are. And if she never looks back, ever, you’re sure you won’t regret it?” 

Those familiar words left Evander silent for a long time. 

Finally, his voice rough, he said, “I won’t regret it. I’ll wait a lifetime if I have to. This time… I mean 

it.” 

After that, Evander never sought me out again. 

I thrived at work, climbing the ladder steadily. From time to time, I received gifts sent by Sophia. Every single item suited my taste perfectly. 

When I thanked her, Sophia wounded baffled. 

“Gifts? I didn’t send anything. Oh… it must be Evander, using my name.” 

“Just keep them. If you send them back, he’ll just send more. What’s the use? One more gift won’t change anything.” 

I smiled at her reasoning and agreed. 

After hanging up, I checked the bottom of the gift box and found a letter tucked inside. 

It was from Evander. The message was simple-he would wait a lifetime. 

I closed the envelope and casually tossed it into a drawer. 

The promise might have been sincere, but it no longer held any power over me. 

The wish I had carved onto that plaque didn’t need to wait for another life. It could be fulfilled in 

this one. 

I finished packing, drew back the curtains, and let the evening light flood the room. 

I knew my life was finally my own.
