Kayla let out a soft gasp, and the two of them sprang apart.
"I am so sorry," Kayla stammered, her face burning instantly as she took in the scene.
"It's fine, Kayla," Lyra said, trying to stand up, but Rowan pulled her right back down.
Trapped on his lap, it only took a second for Lyra to realize exactly why he wasn't letting her up. Her breath hitched in her throat.
Kayla hurriedly set the tray down and practically bolted from the room.
"You're such a jerk," Lyra snapped, leaping to her feet the second her sister-in-law was gone.
"Don't be mad," Rowan said with a low chuckle, taking a moment to calm his breathing before standing up. "I'm going to head out."
"Don't forget, our wedding is on Sunday."
Lyra bit her lip, looking anything but thrilled. She waited in stony silence for him to leave before slamming the door shut behind him.
Rowan had a few drinks that night, so Wesley Wade drove him back to Blackwood Manor.
As soon as he dropped off his boss, Wesley took his leave.
Rowan stepped into the grand foyer and immediately spotted Jasmine Ford sitting there, dressed in an elegant gown.
Seeing him arrive, Jasmine rose and approached with a radiant smile, greeting him as if their catastrophic breakup had never happened. "Rowan..."
Rowan's brow furrowed as he shot a dark look at the staff. "Who let her in?"
The maids instantly dropped their heads, terrified to make a sound.
The staff paled instantly, bowing their heads lower, too terrified to even breathe.
The next day.
Delilah received a phone call that left her completely stunned.
She dismissed the staff, leaving only Lyra in the room.
"Tell me the truth. Are you pregnant with Rowan's child?"
Lyra's hands balled into tight fists at her sides. After a long, heavy silence, she nodded, confessing openly. "Yes."
The admission was a spark to gasoline. Delilah slammed her hand against the coffee table, her face livid. "Go to the hospital and get an abortion immediately."

The readers' comments on the novel: She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry
What Rowan did in his past life was horrific, and I’m not excusing it, but he truly did everything he could in his second life to repent and atone for what he did to Lyra. At some point, there has to be room for forgiveness and grace. If someone spends their entire life trying to make amends and become a better person, then what does redemption mean if we never allow them a chance to be forgiven? Even someone who has done terrible things deserves the possibility of redemption, and honestly, I want Rowan to be happy too!...
Please update the novel... What is the update schedule??...
