Outside the door, Jonah's lips lifted into a smile. He had always known that Hailey loved him.
Lester, however, was stunned. He had planned to confess his feelings tonight, certain that a union between their families would be ideal.
But now, it was clear as day that Hailey's heart belonged to someone else.
While resting her hand on her lower abdomen, her delicate features shone with a maternal glow as she said, "Lester, I'm pregnant. Jonah and I are expecting a baby. I'm already more than five months along."
Lester's surprise deepened. Hailey's slender limbs and flowing dress had perfectly concealed her pregnancy.
Though it was painful, Lester accepted the truth with composure. He managed a faint smile and said, "Congratulations, Hailey."
Hailey's lips curved into a smile. "Thank you, Lester. Having a friend like you means the world to me."
She managed the situation with impeccable tact. By speaking up first, she saved Lester from the awkwardness of confessing his feelings.
This way, they could move forward as friends.
Lester understood exactly what she was saying, and all he could do was return her smile.
At that moment, Jonah raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Lester, Jonah's here," Hailey called out.
As she finished speaking, the door swung open.
Jonah stepped inside and turned to Lester. "Hello, Prof. Larden."
Lester quickly stood up. "It's nice to see you again, Mr. Pilsner. I've heard a great deal about you."
As he extended his hand, Jonah clasped it firmly.
"I've heard a lot about you as well, Prof. Larden," Jonah replied. "Since you've helped Hailey so much, I wanted to come personally to thank you tonight."
