Chapter 526 Whose Baby Is
This
Hailey had lost her mind, throwing everything she could reach onto the floor.
Her chest heaved, her face a mask of frustration and resentment.
Why did Sadie easily capture Noah’s attention?
And when Hailey begged Evan, all she received was humiliation!
Nicolas stood by the door, too nervous to even breathe.
He kept his head down, avoiding her furious gaze.
Just then, someone pushed the villa’s front door open.
It was Noah!
Nicolas’s face brightened as if he’d seen his savior, relief washing over him.
He rushed forward, his voice shaking.
“Mr. Noel, you’re back! Ms. Burgess-”
Noah scanned the chaos in the living room, his eyebrows knitting together.
His face darkened.
“What are you doing?”
Hailey was about to smash a delicate porcelain vase, but his voice stopped her. She slowly placed the vase back on the side
cabinet.
She turned and saw Noah in the doorway.
His face was blank, his gaze icy, sending a wave of panic through her.
In the next moment, Hailey’s eyes filled with tears, a swell of grievance overtaking her.
“Noah, you never talked to me so harshly before.”
Her voice broke slightly.
“Have you really fallen for Sadie?”
Noah’s irritation grew sharp at her words.
His frown deepened.
He wasn’t here to argue.

“Come to the study.”
Without another look, he headed upstairs.
Hailey remained still, unease flooding her.
What did he want to discuss in the study?
Was it a warning not to provoke Sadie again?
Or perhaps-
She didn’t let herself think further.
After a long moment, she gathered her strength, bit her lip, and followed him upstairs.
Inside the study, Hailey stood tense in front of the desk.
She looked up, meeting Noah’s intense gaze.
She parted her lips to speak first but found herself speechless.
Noah was quick to break the silence.
His tone was blunt, his gaze unwavering.
“You’re pregnant?”
His statement landed like a thunderbolt, startling Hailey.
Her eyes widened, and her face lost all color.
How had he found out?
She had only recently confirmed it herself and had been planning to stage an intimate scene before surprising him with the
news.
But he was already aware.
It took her by surprise.
Her heart pounded, her thoughts racing.
Noah’s frosty stare remained locked on her.
Suddenly, he rose, his presence dominating as he approached her step by step.
“Hailey, we’ve been married for three years but have never had sex. Whose child is this?”
Hailey broke down.
“Yes, I’m pregnant!” Her voice broke as she yelled, tears streaming down her face. “But what does it matter?”
She met Noah’s gaze defiantly.
“Noah, our marriage has been a sham from the start. We haven’t shared a life, let alone a bed. Do you know what people say about me? My father–he’s been pushing us every day to have a child so he can know the joy of being a grandfather! What am I supposed to tell him? Should I tell him that the son–in–law he admires won’t even touch me?”
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!”
