Chapter 252 Unfinished Ties

Only now did the weight of her announcement hir Trent. By declaring this pregnancy she had chained them together. Does that mean there can be no ending for Sidonie and mejust because she’s carrying my child?

Laura’s laugh rang out, razorthin. Well, isn’t this hilarious? Congratulations, Trentyou’re about to be a father. When you and that bitch pick a wedding date, be sure to invite me. I’ve got a very special giftready.”

Trent stood rooted to the floor, as though a sheet of ice had swallowed him whole.

Impossible. A baby? So soon? He replayed the nights with Sidoniethere had only been a handful.

What’s your plan now?Laura asked, fingers curled around a steaming mug that sent faint spirals of hear toward the ceiling.

I’ll wait for the military’s report. They recovered Rowan’s drone, and the last footage places him inside that warehouse fire. The team is reexamining everyone who was injured and-
