Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 323

Everyone in the room froze, jaws dropping in shock. For the longest time, people had whispered, but now they had heard it from the source itself. There was no room left for guessing.

Libby’s sudden departure had left the whole estate on edge. Tension clung to the halls of Hawthorne like a heavy fog, and behind closed doors, everyone murmured the same thing. Ms. Morgan must be carrying Mr. Sullivan’s child. Why else would he change so much after she left? During those days, the entire manor felt like it was holding its breath. No one dared to speak too loudly or even let their footsteps echo.

But everything changed the moment Ms. Morgan came back. Suddenly, people smiled again. Everyone’s steps had a lift to them, as if the air itself had grown lighter. Just last night, after the three of them shared beef stew, the staff got to eat the exact same meal. Same ingredients, same setup, even the same open-air table in the snow. Everyone tasted the magic of the season’s first snowfall, and for a moment, life at Hawthorne Hall felt almost romantic.

All of it traced back to one thing: Mr. Sullivan had changed. He was warmer, more approachable, more like a real person than the chilly figure he’d been before. He even smiled now, and the house buzzed with laughter and conversation. The difference was impossible to ignore, and everyone knew it was because of Ms. Morgan.

Now, their suspicions were confirmed. Mr. Sullivan’s care for Ms. Morgan wasn’t just because she was Miss Alice’s therapist. She was carrying his children. The news sent a wave of excitement through the staff. If Ms. Morgan became the future lady of the house, no one would possibly object.

Shelly, for one, looked like she might burst with happiness. Was it possible she could become the head housekeeper one day? She could hardly stop herself from grinning. This was what happened when you backed the right person. Maybe, just maybe, her future was about to get a whole lot brighter.

But Wiona could only stare, her hand trembling in midair. Was Conrad out of his mind? It was over. The secret she’d tried so hard to keep was now splashed in front of everyone, no warning, no chance to prepare. What would everyone think? Sure, she’d told them about the divorce yesterday, but her pregnancy was not exactly new. Anyone who knew her real story would wonder, would judge, would gossip. She didn’t care what strangers thought, but she’d spent days living alongside these people. Their opinions mattered to her more than she wanted to admit.

How was she supposed to face them now? She covered her face, despair flooding her. He’d left her no way out at all.

Donna’s face was stone-cold. She was the first to snap. “Conrad! How could you and Ms. Morgan… How could you just say that in front of everyone?”

“Even if it’s true about the children…” She shook her head. “You shouldn’t have just blurted it out like that.”

She turned sharply. “Phil, get everyone out. Now!” Donna was convinced that in a family like this, the less the staff knew, the better. She didn’t hesitate to give Phil the order.
