Chasing My Ex-wife Back (Hailey and Cole) novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 

“What??????” Cole, Connie, and Eric said in unison, with confused looks all over their faces. 

Dr Telford frowned. “You all aren’t aware?!” 

“What the hell are you talking about?” Cole voiced out. 

“You must be the husband, Sir.” 

Cole was lost for words but he shook his head. 

“He’s….he’s the husband of the woman in there,” Connie answered, ignoring the glare Cole was giving her. 

“I am sorry for breaking the news to you all like this. I thought you knew already. We carried out a quick scan which shows she is pregnant but I can’t tell exactly how many months until the test results are out. But I think she is a few weeks along.” 

“Her passing out was a mixture of stress, pain, and her phobia of blood. Her BP is really high and she needs lots of rest so we will be keeping her here for a few days to monitor her.” 

“My…my daughter is pregnant?” Eric mumbled, feeling numb. 

“She is.” The doctor assured. 

“Can we see her now?” Connie asked. 

“Yes, but you all will have to go in one at a time.” 

“Okay, thank you!” Connie didn’t wait for them to decide who would be going in first among them. She made her way in immediately. 

“I will be back when the test results are ready!” Dr Telford said, then excused himself. 

There was a couple of seconds of silence between Cole and Eric until Eric spoke. “Congratulations, 

Son.” 

“Sorry!” Cole frowned, hoping he heard wrong. 

“You are going to be a father and me, a grandfather. That’s great news. Congratulations to us all.” 

“I almost thought you still loved Hailey because of the day you couldn’t stop staring at her at the meeting. But if it is Vanessa you want to be with, then it is fine by us. She was the one you wanted to marry in the beginning.” 

Cole chuckled in disbelief. “You telling me Congratulations? What the hell? You must have so much faith in your daughter, don’t you?”

Chapter 29 

This time around it was Eric who was looking confused. 

“What do you mean? 

“You think the child your daughter is carrying is mine?” Cole placed a hand on his own chest. 

“Why not? You are the only man I know in her life. Everyone knows you both are going to marry eventuaily, so!” Eric shrugged. 

“I am sure this newborn will bring so much reunion and joy to you both. I am happy for 

Vanessa. 

“It is such a pity that you think you are being a good father right now.” 

“What do you mean?” Eric asked. 

“Did you ever love Hailey?” 

“What does she have to do with this conversation?” 

“Because I am trying to point out how much of a hypocrite you are.” 

“Did you actually believe Hailey seduced me so she could sleep with me?” 

“Isn’t that what happened? We all saw you both on the bed.” 

“What if I was the one that forced myself on her?” 

“But you said it then that you had no idea how you got to the same bed with her.” 

o 

you and 

“So you believed a stranger over your own daughter? You believed a stranger over your own flesh and blood?” 

“I don’t understand you, Cole. Why bring back all of this information?” 

“Because you are being a fucking hypocrite. you couldn’t even believe your first daughter when she told you she knew nothing about that and here you are instantly believing that Vanessa is pregnant.” 

“You think she is faking it?” 

“That’s not the point! What hurt me most is the fact you said you thought I was in love with Hailey.” 

“I have only loved one woman in my entire life and that’s Hailey. If I can’t have her, then I would rather remain single all my life.” 

“And just so you know, she didn’t have a hand in what happened that night during my supposed engagement with Vanessa.” 

“I don’t know how Hailey got into the guest room but I am sure she was tricked by Vanessa and that evil you call your wife!”

Chapter 29 

“Vanessa put something in my drink and told me to go to the guest room. I got there, thought. Vanessa was Hailey, and made love to her.” 

“I remembered how Hailey cried so much, telling you that she had no idea what happened. What 

did 

you do? You hit her on the cheek and humiliated her.” 

“Vanessa never wanted to marry me because I wasn’t one of the top five richest men then. Just like her mother, she is also a damn gold digger.” 

“Look, I know you are not happy with my daughter right now so I am not going to judge you for thinking this way.” 

“What about Hailey? She’s not your daughter?” 

Eric sighed. “That is not what I mean. Everyone has a past and I am sure we have all done something we are not proud of at some point in our lives. This baby could really be the ray of hope we need in our lives. This could be a new beginning for us. Most especially for you and Vanessa. 

“Is that what you got from all that I have said?” Cole stared at Eric in disbelief. 

“I thought I addressed all.” 

“Why do you all resent Hailey so much?” Cole couldn’t help but ask. 

Eric looked away! 

“Come on, answer me! You know I am legally married to your first daughter and now you are pushing your second daughter to me.” Cole knew Eric had no idea about the twins. He was tempted to blast him about being the worst father on earth with that information but he stopped himself. 

“You have always preferred Vanessa over Hailey, haven’t you?”
