A woman discovers she can hear the thoughts of her cold, distant ex and learns a truth he never spoke aloud: their baby is his only heir, and he still loves her. As she navigates his hidden feelings and the secret binding them together, she must decide whether to trust the man who once shut her out.
His tone is almost casually cold. This is my apartment. Don't make a scene here. But what I hear inside his head is completely different. She's pregnant, and Victoria still dares to grab her.
One more touch, and I'll have her thrown out. I stare for a second. So, maybe Victoria doesn't hold quite as much weight with Grant as I thought. Victoria, however, is furious.
Grant? You're stopping me over her? I'm telling you to know when to stop. Victoria's face goes white with fury. She turns and glares at me. Don't be smug. He's protecting you now only because of the baby.
Mr. and Mrs. Walker will never accept this! My heart sinks. Would an old money family like the Walkers ever accept an illegitimate child? But before I can dwell on it, Grant's voice sounds in my head again.
If Mum and Dad find out Leah is carrying my only child, they'll probably want to bring her home and treat her like royalty. The moment I hear his thought, all my anxiety disappears. Apparently, Grant isn't the only one worried about the Walker family line ending with him.
If I'm going to have to face his parents eventually, I might as well take the Grant, take me to meet your parents. Grant looks up at me, brow furrowing at once. Victoria laughs first.
You think you can just walk into the Walker estate whenever you want? I ignore her.
