Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth (Hannah and Noah) novel Chapter 247

Chapter 0247 

“Dinner,” I said with a small smile. “Or the closest thing we can get right now.” 

Noah prodded one of the bags of chips with his finger and eyed me warily. “You’ll really eat this stuff?” 

I shrugged and nodded at the same time. “It’s not like I have much of a choice right now. And besides, I’ve missed all this glorious junk food over the years.” 

He smirked slightly. “Finally coming back to the dark side, huh?” 

Nodding, I climbed onto his bed, sitting cross–legged across from him. After a moment’s hesitation, Noah reached out and grabbed one of the bags. 

“This feels like we’re kids at a sleepover,” he commented as he unwrapped a baggie of cookies. 

I laughed, the sound surprising both of us. “Well, it’s better than thinking about why we’re really here.” 

We ate in companionable silence for a while, the rustle of wrappers the only sound in the quiet room. As I watched Noah relax slightly, I felt a warmth in my chest. This felt… nice. Normal, even. 

“Remember when we used to do this?” I asked suddenly. 

Noah furrowed his brow. “When we got married, you mean?” 

“No.” I shook my head. “Before that. Like when we first met when my sister and I were on vacation, and we raided the snack pantry at your parents‘ house.” 

For a moment, Noah just blinked at me in confusion, and I felt my stomach drop slightly. He didn’t remember, did he? 

He shook his head. “I’m sorry, I don’t…” 

“Forget it,” I said, waving my hand and forcing a small smile. “It was a long time ago.” 

Neither of us said anything else after that. I couldn’t deny the feeling of disappointment in my chest at the thought that he had truly forgotten our first meeting after all, and it just reminded me of how he got the dates mixed up at that party all those weeks ago. 

It wasn’t that long ago, really. In fact, I still remembered it like it was yesterday. 

But it seemed that Noah’s memories of that week together were somewhat less… profound. (1) 

We ate for a little while longer, eventually clicking the TV back on to watch some cheesy soap opera that was playing. Soon, the snacks dwindled away, and we were left with full bellies. As I watched the TV, my hand fluttered to my stomach, feeling the slight swell there. 

I should tell him, I thought to myself, pursing my lips. Perhaps it was time. I’d begin to show soon anyway, and then I really wouldn’t be able to hide it from him. Finally, deciding to just do it and not even think about it, I sat up and took a deep breath. 

“Noah, I’m pregnant.” 

But there was no answer. Turning, I realized that Noah’s eyes had drifted shut. His breathing had evened out, and he was leaning slightly to one side. He had fallen asleep.
