I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 501

Knowing that Mrs. Winters had gone abroad for a trip without even saying a word made Megan realize that to the mother and daughter, she was basically nothing.

Swallowing her jealousy and dissatisfaction, she didn't dare offend Sienna. She quietly mumbled an "Understood," grabbed her purse, and hailed a cab to leave.

Sienna stared at her phone for a long time, but even late into the night, there was no call from Hayden.

She didn't dare rush him; aside from waiting, there was absolutely nothing she could do.

Meanwhile.

At the hospital, Zoe had successfully given birth to a lively, adorable baby boy.

Sylvia Kendall was holding the baby, video chatting with Mr. Kendall Sr. and Arthur Kendall Sr., grinning from ear to ear.

"Look! Zoe gave our family a big, healthy boy!"

Garrett snatched the phone away. "Mom, let me see."

Sylvia pointed the camera at the baby. Looking at the chubby, sturdy little newborn, a wave of jealousy hit Garrett.

That face, those features—even though he was still tiny, the boy already had the distinct look of the Thorne family.

If this baby was his and Zoe's, he would be absolutely ecstatic.

But since it was Zoe's, Garrett was still thrilled.

"Is Zoe doing okay?"

Sylvia nodded. "She's doing great. With me here, you don't need to worry. Zoe and I talked it over. Once she recovers a bit, we'll head back. They don't do the traditional postpartum confinement here, so the nutrition and care back home are still better."

Mr. Kendall Sr. spoke calmly.

"Once the itinerary is set, I'll send the private helicopter to bring you all back."

Garrett sighed. If it hadn't been for Hayden, he wouldn't have missed the baby's birth.

He had hoped to be the first person the baby saw when he opened his eyes.

"Have you picked a name yet?"

Garrett was very invested in this.

The child was going to take the Kendall family name.

"Ian. We decided on it a long time ago."

Arthur Kendall Sr. was very satisfied, and Mr. Kendall Sr. agreed as well.

Even if Hayden found out, it would be too late.

The baby wasn't his anymore.

It wasn't even legally registered under her own name, so he wouldn't be able to fight for custody.

"Yeah, nothing's wrong. I had my son. Lily's little brother, Ian."

Nadia's jaw dropped so wide you could shove an egg in it.

"Holy crap, you're incredible! Be honest—whose is it? Don't tell me you had Garrett's kid? You're a legend, babe. I seriously worship you. You gave Hayden such a massive green hat; he's going to die of anger."

Zoe didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"No, he's Hayden's. Garrett and I are strictly platonic, stop talking nonsense.

But since Ian is born, he's going under Garrett's registry. I don't want my mess with Hayden to affect him in the future."

Nadia grabbed an apple, took a bite, and looked at Zoe with absolute awe.

"Take a picture and show me. You're hardcore. If Hayden finds out you gave birth to his son and gave him another man's last name, his ancestors are going to crawl out of their graves to beat him up."
