On their way back to Leonardo's residence, Ivy broke the stifling silence that had settled within them ever since they departed from the Anderson's Family house.

"I honestly didn't expect you to do that, Leonardo. That was incredibly bold of you. I'm impressed, not going to lie..." Ivy remarked, her attention shifting to Leonardo, whose focus remained on the road ahead.

"It was a tough choice," he replied flatly, a pang of hurt piercing his chest. He swallowed hard before continuing, "But I followed your advice. I believed it was the right decision."

She nodded. "It really was. I'm glad you prioritized your family," Ivy said with a warm smile. "It's only a matter of time before things fall back to the way it used to be. Everything will be fine, I'm happy for you."

"I didn’t do it for Hayley, you know." Leonardo started as he made a right turn on the road. "I did it for myself..."

Emily said, her tone softening. "I’m truly happy for you, Hayley. Like, genuinely thrilled and amazed. Who would have thought that that woman would turn out to be your mother? This is so awesome..." "For real, Em." Hayley sighed, running her fingers through her hair. "I was taken aback at first, but I've come to terms with it now.

    "What? I’m pregnant?" Hayley exclaimed in disbelief, her thoughts a whirlwind of confusion. "How? How could this happen?" She questioned absentmindedly, wracking her brain for answers to her question until she finally recalled she had unprotected sex with Leonardo a few weeks ago before the whole situation started. Ignoring Hayley's shocked reaction, the nurse interjected, "I’ll prescribe some medication for you. You’ll be alright, Miss Catersville.

Lillian's brows furrowed her in deep confusion but Wendy could only shrug as she was still on the phone. Averting her gaze, Wendy exhaled heavily, rubbing her forehead as her frustration mounted.

So how was this possible? How was Hayley pregnant again? Wendy's heart twisted wi

As she fluttered her eyes open, she noticed she was the only one in the room.She instinctively turned over, hoping he'd be right behind her but to her disappointment, he wasn't also there. Hayley frowned, massaging her temples as she felt a wave of loneliness enveloped her. She couldn't help but ponder about Leonardo's whereabouts. Yawning tiredly, she lifted the mattress of her body to realize she was already cladded in one of his oversized Tshirts. A warm smile crossed her face as she recognized that Leonardo must have dressed her up in that because she had no recollection of doing so herself the previous night. Smiling with newfound excitement, she draped the mattress over herself, gazing up at the ceiling. Just then, she felt an unusual weight on her finger and when s
