A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1223

After Cedric had the butler clear out the changing room next to the master bedroom for Hailey, he saw her standing in the living room, seeming a little uneasy.

He figured she was probably uneasy because he’d never let her stay over before, so he quickly descended the stairs, approached her, and held her hand.

“From now on, this is your home. You can do whatever you want with it.”

With that, he lowered his gaze to Hailey’s belly.

“It’s late, you should rest.”

Pregnant people shouldn’t stay up this late, it’s not good for the baby.

Aware that Cedric was showing concern, Hailey nodded gently.

But after her shower, would she have to share a bedroom with Cedric?

Even though they’d slept together before, Hailey still felt a bit embarrassed, unsure of how to face him.

With these thoughts troubling her, she finished showering and drying her hair to find Cedric already sitting on the bed.

He was in his pajamas, propped up against the headboard, with his laptop on his lap and his slender fingers tapping on the keyboard.
