Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 945:

Nathan was rooted to the spot, his mind spinning.

The doctor gave a few more instructions before leaving, but none of it really registered to either man.

When they were finally left alone, Nathan stared at the report in his hands, still struggling to wrap his mind around it.

Whose child was Sadie carrying?

It certainly wasn’t his. They had always maintained a professional relationship. They hadn’t even held hands!

He was still reeling from the news when a large hand suddenly snatched the report from his grasp.

Rodger scanned the page line by line, his eyes blazing.

Sadie and Nathan hadn’t even met a month ago. At that time, Nathan was still getting tangled up with multiple other women.

So, who was the father of this child?

Rodger slowly raised his head, his voice low and cutting. “Is this baby yours?”

How could Nathan possibly misread his father’s thoughts? If the child wasn’t his, the repercussions would shatter everything.

With Rodger’s calculating mind, he would inevitably weaponize the situation—wielding the suspicion of a premarital affair to coerce Sadie into deeper sacrifices.noveldrama

He might even dissolve the engagement entirely and thrust Jarrett back into position as the rightful heir.

If that transpired, Nathan would find himself utterly discarded. Unthinkable. He simply couldn’t allow such a fate.

His thoughts spiraled wildly, and within a single pulse of his racing heart, his decision crystallized.

A hint of embarrassment flickered across his features as a hesitant smile pulled at the corners of his mouth.

“Dad, you’ve misinterpreted the situation entirely. Sadie and I have actually known each other intimately for quite some time. We just… chose to keep it private.”

With those carefully chosen words, he had effectively claimed paternity of the child growing in Sadie’s womb.

Rodger halted, momentarily blindsided. He scrutinized Nathan’s expression with piercing intensity. Could this rebellious offspring of his actually be speaking truthfully?

A shadow of disappointment darkened his features—if the child truly belonged to Nathan, his leverage over Sadie would evaporate entirely. Yet, upon further reflection, if the child carried Higgins blood through its veins, perhaps the situation offered unexpected advantages.

It meant Sadie would be bound even more irrevocably to the Higgins family. The alliance between Wall Group and Higgins Group would be cemented in ways mere contracts never could.
