Chapter 1644 Relaxing Effect
“I-I haven’t bathed yet.”
Smiling, Kyle uttered, “It’s okay. We can take a bath together.”
Sally smiled sweetly, as that was what she had planned.
Just as he got up and was about to carry her to the bathroom, there was a knock on the door.
Almost instantly, she grew anxious and asked, “Could it be Old Mrs. Seet?”
“But it’s already so late. What’s she here for?”
“How would I know? Anyway, hurry up and hide.”
“This is my house. Why should I hide?”
“She doesn’t want us to sleep together. If she finds you here, she’ll definitely chase you out.”
“Even if she chases me away, I can always come back, as long as you’re willing to open the door.”
“I’m sure once she finds out that you’re here, she’ll keep coming back to check on us. Maybe she’ll even monitor us strictly to make sure that we have no chance to come in contact with each other. By that time, it’ll be harder for me to get pregnant.”
After pondering over it for a moment, Kyle uttered, “Then I’d better hide first.”
“Go hide in the bathroom.”
With that, he got up and walked toward the bathroom.
Meanwhile, the person outside the room was still knocking on the door. After straightening her clothes, Sally immediately went to open the door.
As expected, it was Sophia.
“Old Mrs. Seet, what’s the matter?”
“There’s something that I forgot to tell you just now.”
As she spoke, Sophia walked into the room.
“Please have a seat,” said Sally.
“Okay.”
While she was sitting down, Sophia caught sight of Kyle’s coat on the swivel chair beside the bed.
“Why is Kai’s coat here?”
“Oh. H-He left it behind.”
“Left it behind?”
“Yes. He was here moments ago, but he has gone back to his room now.”
Being the shrewd person that she was, Sophia saw through her lie instantly. Judging by her expression, Kyle must be inside this room. Also, she probably wore the sexy pajama just now because she wanted to show it to Kyle. How dare they deceive me! Have they not considered the baby’s safety? There’s no room for regret if they hurt the baby.
When she was staring at Sally, the latter’s heart started to pound rapidly.
If I knew that she would look for me tonight, I wouldn’t have asked Kyle to come over so early. We should’ve waited until everyone is asleep.
Sophia said, “Sally, I heard of a story and thought that I should talk about it with you.”
“What is it?”
“Moses from the Zieglers has been looking forward to having a grandchild. After waiting for a long time, his daughter-in-law is finally pregnant. However, the baby is gone, as the couple wasn’t being careful. Because of this, Moses has fallen ill. It’s sad that a life is gone just like this. Sally, do you understand what I’m saying?”
Hearing that, Sally could only nod in response.
I understand, but our situation is different. His daughter-in-law is actually pregnant, so they aren’t supposed to sleep together. On the contrary, I’m in a rush to get pregnant. How could I get pregnant if we don’t sleep together? You don’t understand my situation, and I can’t make you understand as well. Should I come clean? What will her reaction be if she finds out that I’m pretending to be pregnant?
“Okay. It’s good that you understand. There’s some tea in the kitchen. It has a relaxing effect and is suitable for Kai. I’ll bring some to his room later.”
“Old Mrs. Seet, you don’t have to do that. He’s probably asleep by now.”
“I’m sure he isn’t,” Sophia declared with confidence while glancing in the direction of the bathroom. “I’ll go to the kitchen and ask the maid to make the tea for him now. Later, I’ll send it to him personally.”
At that, she stood up and left.
Kyle came out of the bathroom after Sally locked the door. Looking at him, she let out a long sigh.
