His Regret Arrived Three Days Late novel Chapter 197

Wayne found it hard to believe. “But Annika is the mother of his child. Does he want his son to grow up without a mother?”

Harvey frowned. “In Seafall City, have you ever seen a rich heir who actually cares about the mother of his child?”

Wayne thought of the wealthy elite he knew—men who partied hard their entire lives, only settling down when their powerful parents arranged a strategic marriage, which never stopped them from their debauchery. It was just a fact of life for those born with a silver spoon. Countless women had had abortions for men like that; who would ever spare them a second thought?

“So what do we do now? Just watch Annika go to prison?” Wayne’s heart, already heavy, ached even more after seeing her.

Harvey was silent for a moment, then pulled out his phone and dialed Tyler’s number. Tyler might be in a tough spot himself, but his father still had deep roots and influence in Seafall City. Tyler’s entrepreneurial ventures were mostly just a way to prove himself to his old man.

Meanwhile, Nolan stood outside the study at Scent Haven, his expression grim. He strained his ears, listening for any sound from within. Ever since Conrad had returned from the crematorium, he had locked himself in the study with Serena’s diary. Nolan had been standing guard all night, not daring to leave his post.

“Waaah!”

The piercing cry of a baby shattered the night’s silence. The wails grew louder and more insistent, and Nolan hurried downstairs.

In the living room, a sweat-drenched Lana was bouncing Monroe, trying in vain to soothe him. Finally, at her wit’s end, she pleaded, “Monroe, please stop crying, please!”
