“You should have told me that you were pregnant,” he finally spoke after what felt like an eternity.
I nodded, my eyes shifting to the ground.
“I know. I—”
“It was stupid and dangerous for you to continue working knowing about your pregnancy. If I had known, I would have pulled you from that post,” he said, shaking his head. “Did you know that you were pregnant when you were caught up in that explosion?”
I knew he already knew the answer, so lying would be pointless and possibly dangerous.
“Yes,” I whispered, tears filling my eyes before I could stop them.
These stupid hormones were out of control.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
His question made me look up at him; there was a hint of hurt and vulnerability behind his tone that made my chest squeeze painfully.
“I was worried you’d fire me,” I admitted. “I just got here, and I didn’t want to disappoint anyone. I had something to prove…. I thought I could handle it, but I was wrong. I’m so sorry.”
He was quiet as he processed my words; he leaned back in his seat and sighed.
“I wouldn’t have fired you, Judy. I would have put you on maternity leave until you were capable of resuming your duties. You have been here for a short while, but you are an exceptional addition to the force. You’ve proved yourself early on, and you’re making a name for yourself. It would be a shame to lose you. But I need to be able to trust you, Judy. Lying to me was not the way to go about this.”
“I know,” I said softly. “And I’m sorry for that. I was going to tell you… But I was scared. I was a coward.”

Is there something missing between the last two chapters??...
I need more 😭😭😭2 chapters is a tease😂...
update pls......
Please I'm begging you, and I'm addicted to this book emotionally....
Hey my name is Adelaide I'm from South Africa. Please write more chapters I really want to know if Levi will be able to threaten Gavins company and what will happen with him and Judy and the baby....
yes yes I love this story...
yes voicemails I agree and please more chapters it's so interesting...
Is the author on our side? “I wanted to call Nan and Irene and tell them what was happening, but that would mean admitting that I’m pregnant with Gavin’s baby, and I’d rather skip that part. I wanted to talk to someone who already knew that part of the story, so I didn’t have to repeat it.”...
Oh for goodness sake let them both find out already. We’ll need at least 8 chapters probably 20 for his POV, her POV, her to listen to the voicemails and realise she’s had it wrong all this time and more of each side having their own POV on a single sentence...
Hmmmm...
