?Chapter 818:


    He emerged from his daze.


    “How could I not be?” he said, embracing her gently.


    “I’m thrilled.” Ellie felt his arms around her and murmured, “It doesn’t seem like it.” His joy was too profound for outward expression.


    Kaiden reflected on Baylee escorting Ellie home, an unnecessary gesture further emphasized by Baylee carrying Ellie’s bag—a departure from her usual behavior.


    “Did Baylee go with you to the hospital?” He spected.


    Ellie confirmed with a nod.


    Kaiden’s expression grew contemtive.


    Somehow, Ellie could sense what was on his mind.


    “Are you bothered that Baylee went with me to the hospital? Are you jealous?”


    His expression darkened, though he offered no confession.


    “Why didn’t you ask me to apany you?”


    Ellie exined, “It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. I feared it might have been a false rm. What if I wasn’t pregnant?”


    “Do I not deserve to know?”


    Ellie found herself at a loss for words.

    “Seven weeks,” she responded.

    Kaiden did the math, envisioning meeting their child the following spring. “Are you feeling alright?” he asked, recalling a specific day. “Did you have morning sickness when you left the old house the other day?”


    “Perhaps?” Ellie considered,cking prior experience.


    “I’ll arrange for a gynecologist tomorrow,” Kaiden dered, formting a n.


    “Why summon a doctor so soon?”


    “To look after you.”


    Ellie chuckled. “I’m barely two months along. I don’t need round-the-clock care yet; timely hospital visits will suffice. Anything more seems excessive.”


    Kaiden thought that many would jump at the chance for such a well-paid position, but he respected Ellie’s wishes and didn’t press the matter.


    “Let’s get some rest,” he suggested, making sure she wasfortable. “I’ll be back after a shower.”


    “Ha ha!”
