Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth (Hannah and Noah) novel Chapter 479

Chapter 0479 

“Well… it was a success in this life, wasn’t it?” Noah asked, squeezing my hand a little tighter. 

Nodding, I said, “It was. If you ignore the fact that Zoe and Scott swapped out our offerings to make us fight with each other.” 

At that, Noah stiffened. He stopped short, turning to face me fully. “I’m never letting anyone get in the way of us like that again,” he said, his voice serious. “Ever.” 

My breath caught a little at the intensity in his voice. He must have said those words a million times by now, but they took me aback each and every time. Maybe it was because I spent so long wishing he would say them. Maybe it was because I spent so long wishing I would listen to them. 

Wordlessly, I closed the distance between us and looped my arms around his neck. I lifted up ever so slightly on my tiptoes and kissed him. He tasted like late–night coffee and cologne, and a touch of my own perfume from a kiss we’d shared earlier in the midst of work. 

When we parted for air, we leaned our foreheads against one another, just breathing each other in for a few moments. 

Then, suddenly, I blurted out, “I want to have another baby.” 

Noah practically stumbled back, his eyes wide. “You–what?” 

I pressed my lips together, feeling my cheeks heat for a moment, before I nodded. “I’ve been thinking about it lately. I want another.” 

“When?” Noah repeated, gripping my hands. “Hannah, we have so much-” 

“I don’t care when,” I suddenly cut him off with a shake of my head. I gestured up to the house, the space that was still filling with new memories, slowly but surely. To the empty land all around. “This place is so… big. I want to fill it.” 

“With children?” 

I couldn’t help but laugh. “Maybe not quite that many. But with memories. Happiness. I don’t know… I can’t explain it. I just want another baby at some point. Maybe when we get the merger situated… Maybe five years from now. Hopefully sooner than that, but I do want another.” 

For several long moments, Noah was silent–the only sounds between us that of the workers shouting and running their power tools. I supposed that this wasn’t exactly the ideal place to bring something like this up, surrounded by all these people. But I couldn’t hold it in any longer. 

“If you don’t want to-” I began, fearing I was throwing it on him too suddenly. 

But he cut me off with another kiss before I could finish, his hands cupping either side of my face. 

“Okay,” he breathed against my lips. “Okay. We’ll have another. And another and another and another, if that’s what you want.” 

I laughed, trying to pull back, but it was no use–he was clutching me too hard against his mouth, kissing me with too much fervor for a man who was surrounded by workers. 

“Maybe–Maybe not that many,” I stammered into his mouth, finally grabbing his wrists and tilting my
