Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth (Hannah and Noah) novel Chapter 317

Chapter 0317 

Hannah 

I made my way down to the dining room the next morning, my eyes still bleary from a fitful night of sleep. Today was the day of my father’s birthday party, and I was sure that the day would be a blur of activity. But I had my own plans today. 

Noah, Lily, and my parents were already at the table, enjoying a veritable feast for breakfast. The sweet scent of pancakes and the savory tang of bacon filled the air, and there was already a spot for me with a steaming cup of coffee waiting 

“Ah! There she is,” my mother said as I took my seat. “Are you feeling alright? You left dinner rather abruptly last night.” 

I nodded, grabbing my coffee and taking a sip. I had woken up queasy again, but there wasn’t much left in my stomach to throw up. The coffee helped. 

“I’m fine, Mom. Just… I paused, glancing at Noah, who didn’t look up at me from buttering his toast. Had to make a phone call.” 

My father frowned at me over his newspaper. “Hannah, if you’re sick, we can just call the family physician 

“No, no,” I said quickly, waving my hand. “It’s nothing like that.” 

My parents exchanged disbelieving looks; clearly, they knew I was full of it. I glanced at Noah once again, who was now quietly sipping his coffee. His eyes met mine briefly, and I could tell that he was leaving the decision to tell them up to me. 

Taking a deep breath, I decided it was time. They would likely pry until they figured it out anyway. Actually, Mom, Dad…” I set my coffee down with a sigh. “I have some news.” 

They both looked at me expectantly, and I could feel Lily’s gaze on me as well. 

“I’m… pregnant.” 

For a moment, silence filled the room. Time seemed to stand still; even the grandfather clock against the far wall seemed to halt its rhythmic ticking, and the servant who had been refilling our mugs almost spilled coffee all over the table. 

Then, my mother’s squeal of delight broke through the air. 

“Oh, Hannah!” she cried, jumping up to run around the table and embrace me. “This is wonderful news!” 

My father’s face split into a wide grin. “Congratulations, sweetheart! And you too, Noah,” he added, clapping Noah on the back. 

Noah smiled politely. “Thank you, sir.” 

Despite everything. I couldn’t help but smile as my mother hugged me tightly. Announcing it for the first time, out loud like this… It was surreal. I wished that things at home were a bit different, though, because it certainly put a damper on things. How could I bring myself to tell them that Noah and I were getting a divorce despite the pregnancy? They’d be confused and devastated.

As my parents fussed over me, peppering me with questions about due dates and nursery plans, I caught Lily’s eye. She gave me an apologetic look, knowing the full story behind this seemingly joyous news. 

After breakfast, I excused myself and headed to the household library. I needed some time alone to think, and I also wanted to do some research for my Luna Council project.
