The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 977

Tara is genuinely baffled by her own body. The botanical anti-nausea supplements she formulated work perfectly on all her patients, yet they are completely useless on her. This baby is clearly going to be a stubborn terror. No wonder Danny jokes about grounding the kid the second it's born.

They still don't know the baby's gender. They agreed to keep it a surprise, though Danny's "ironclad sixth sense" tells him it's a girl. He has already turned the nursery into a pink, princess-themed wonderland.

"Well, he better be taking care of you. He's the father," Jake mutters, his hostility dialing back slightly at the mention of Danny's attentiveness. The brothers secretly approve of their brother-in-law, even if they won't admit it out loud.

"Alec, what's going on with you and Tricia?" Tara asks, smoothly pivoting the conversation away from her uterus. "You two have wasted enough time dancing around each other. Are you going to make it official or what?"

"Don't worry. I'm not going to ruin it this time. I'm fully committed," Alec promises, his voice dropping all its usual playfulness. He fought like hell to win Tricia back, and he refuses to ever be the gullible idiot who let Jade manipulate him again. He learned his lesson the hard way.

"I'm glad," Tara smiles. Tricia is her best friend, and the idea of her officially joining the family as her sister-in-law is a dream come true. Before the truth came out, Tara thought she would never speak to her brothers again. Now, their bond is unbreakable. Tricia clearly feels the same way—she never dated anyone else after their breakup, choosing to forgive Alec's past mistakes and start fresh. It is the perfect happily-ever-after.
