Chapter 1224
Cedric stared at the sleeping Hailey, his gaze lingering on her for a long while before he reached out
and pulled her into a tight embrace from behind.
He knew he wasn’t a man of his word. His promises were often empty, not just because he never
followed through, but also because he was prone to changing his mind.
However, he was the only one who knew that the moment he held her, his heart, filled with anger, fear,
and anxiety, immediately calmed down.
He knew he loved Hailey more, so naturally, he had to bear more grievances than her.
But he was a man. He could take a little hardship, as long as he could hold her like this for the rest of
his life…
Cedric held Hailey tightly and fell into a deep, peaceful sleep, dreaming of a happy family of three.
Hailey was jolted awake by the pressure. Cedric’s sleeping posture was terrible. His arms and legs
were wrapped around her like a giant python.
She opened her eyes and struggled a bit, but he didn’t let go. Holding back her temper, she lifted her
elbow and gently pushed the man behind her.
“Be quiet, I’m sleepy.”
His voice, husky and somewhat childish, made Hailey withdraw her hand. She turned over with some
effort to look at Cedric, who was still asleep.

The sun outside the floor-to-ceiling window shone through the white curtains, casting a dappled light
that illuminated his handsome face, making him look particularly attractive.
After staring at Cedric for a while, Hailey raised her hand and slapped his face lightly.
“Cedric, if you keep pressing down like this, the baby in my stomach will be flattened by you.”
Catching her hand, Cedric pulled her into his arms.
He rested his chin on her head and let out a raspy voice.
“Stop talking nonsense, our baby will be born safe and healthy.”
His words, like a warm spring, slowly flowed into Hailey’s heart, making her feel very warm…
Cedric wasn’t a lazy sleeper. After holding Hailey for a while, he gradually woke up.
ד
He looked down at Hailey in his arms. He had seen her many times when he woke up, but never had
he felt as joyful as at this moment. “Wifey.” Cedric’s flirtatious address and heated gaze made Hailey
feel a little overwhelmed.
She lowered her eyelashes, trying to avoid him, but was held by Cedric’s hand under her chin.
Forced to look up, her lips were captured by Cedric before she could even lift her eyes.
With their breathing getting heavier, Cedric’s kiss gradually turned into a bold, deep one.
Mid-kiss, Cedric rolled over and pinned Hailey underneath him. His roaming hand started to move from
her belly to her thigh.
Feeling something was off, Hailey immediately pushed him, “I’m pregnant, don’t mess around.”
Cedric had no choice but to retract his hand and wrap it around her waist instead, “How long do I have
to wait before we can make love?”
Hailey, held in his arms, looked at the eager Cedric, “However long our agreement said, that’s how long
you wait.”
Cedric’s kiss paused at her neck as he asked in surprise, “A whole year?”
Actually, three months would be enough, as long as he was careful. But Hailey didn’t want to do that,
so she deliberately lied to Cedric. “You have to understand, I’m pregnant now,”
Cedric, three years younger and lacking experience, had to grit his teeth and accept it, “Then I won’t
touch you anymore, I don’t want to hurt the baby.”
Hailey quickly nodded, “Mm, good boy.”
Cedric didn’t like it when Hailey talked to him as if she were an elder. He pinched her cheek and said
firmly, “I’m your husband, you shouldn’t talk to me like that.”
Husband…
Hailey savored the word in her heart, a faint smile appearing on her face, “It’s eight o’clock, you should
go to work.”
Cedric bent down and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead, “I’m not going to the office today, I have
other things to deal with. I’ll be back soon, wait for me at home.”

a car leaving the mansion could be heard from downstairs.
Watching him leave, Hailey also got up to freshen up. She had planned to handle some work in the
evening, but the butler stopped her, saying that Cedric wanted her to rest at home.
Hailey hadn’t been back in the country for a month, and the nightclub manager had contacted her
several times, hoping she could come back and take control. Now that she was back, she was
forbidden to go out.
Feeling a little anxious, she sat in the living room. Seeing this, the butler immediately brought some
supplements for pregnant women.
“Madam, these are what the young master specifically asked me to buy. Try some.”
Looking at the pile of supplements, Hailey said ‘thank you’ and tried a few bites.
Hailey thought they were quite delicious, so she had a few more bites.
Seeing her enjoy the food, the butler, Roger, finally smiled.
“Madam, you’re pregnant now. The young master doesn’t want you to work for your and the baby’s
sake. Don’t be mad at him.”
Of course, Hailey understood this.
“I’m not mad, Roger, don’t worry.”
She and Cedric had been dating for three years, and she would occasionally come here. Roger had
always been good to her.
Seeing Hailey not being mad, Roger chatted with her for a bit more before going back to his own work.
