Chapter 618
The very next day, Garrett and Laney flew back to Barnes.
Now that she was back, Laney asked Janet if they could meet up.
The two reserved a table at the Beasley Restaurant.
“You’re only been gone a few weeks but I missed you so much!” Janet threw her arms around Laney excitedly.
“Promise me you won’t leave again, okay? You’re pregnant now. Garrett will definitely follow you to the ends of the earth from now on!”
Even after Laney left, she had kept in touch with Janet. Before she flew back to Barnes, she had told Janet the news about her pregnancy.
“Stop teasing me, Janet. I’m scared out of my wits.” Laney pouted anxiously.
“The baby is all part of God’s plan. Now that it’s here, just love it with all your heart and leave the rest to Garrett. I’m sure he’s really happy about the baby.” Life was unpredictable at times. Laney and Garrett had already parted ways, but now, the baby had once again brought them together.
They were just meant to be together!
“If there’s anything I can help you with, just tell me. Don’t worry about anything else. I just know that things will work out between you two.” Janet patted Laney’s hand, wishing her happiness.
Laney smiled bitterly. “I doubt it. I’m sorry, but I can’t help but feel like the world is about to end. I’ve never felt like this before. If only someone could tell me where this road will take me.”
Laney sighed heavily. The future felt so uncertain and daunting, and it scared her.
Noticing the restless look on Laney’s face, Janet held her hand tightly. “Don’t try to leave again. You’re looking out for another human being now, not just yourself.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve made up my mind and I’ve decided to give me and Garrett a shot. For the sake of the baby,” Laney patted her tummy gently and smiled.
“Have I ever told you that you are one brave woman?” Janet smiled. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Laney rolled her eyes and chuckled.

That day, Laney moved into Garrett’s house.
“I haven’t changed anything in your room since you left. You can stay there if you like. Also, I’ve hired two nutritionists, both of which have worked in Michelin-starred restaurants before. They’ll be here by tomorrow.” Garrett hugged Laney from behind, gently placing his hands on her belly.
Pecking her on the cheek, he whispered, “I promise I’ll be a good husband and a fantastic father.”
Laney pursed her lips and looked down at his hands on her belly. Then she turned to look at him and mumbled, “What if I can’t handle the pressure and chicken out? Will you hate me?”
“Don’t be silly.” Garrett held her tightly, planting several more kisses on her neck and shoulder.
Laney didn’t say anything more.
Strangely enough, although she had lived in this house before, this time, she felt as if she had embarked on a whole new journey.
But nonetheless, she looked towards the uncertain future with fierce determination.
