Chapter 1645 Keep A Close Watch
“You’ve heard what your grandmother said just now. She knows that you’re here and said those words on purpose. Later, she’s going to send the tea to your room. You should head on back now.”
Kyle was bereft of speech.
He understood that Sophia was trying to protect her great-grandchildren.
She had taken the news of the Zieglers to heart and was worried that the same thing would happen to Sally.
“Okay. I’ll head back first and come back after she has sent me the tea.”
“When will that be?”
“Why? You’re not willing to wait? If you don’t wait for me, when will you get pregnant?”
“All right. I’ll wait for you.”
After Kyle returned to his room, he kept waiting for Sophia to bring him the tea. However, after waiting for a long time, no one had come to his room.
It’s already this late. Grandma, are you still planning to send me the tea or not?
Feeling impatient, he opened the door, planning to check on the situation in the kitchen. Just then, he saw Sophia walking toward him. Behind her was a maid holding a cup of tea.
Soon, they stopped in front of him.
“Grandma, what is this?”
“I specially prepared this tea for you. It has a relaxing effect and can calm your mind. Quickly finish it and go to bed.”
Without a choice, he took the cup and gulped the tea down before handing back the cup to the maid.
“Grandma, you should go back and rest.”
“It’s okay. I’m not sleepy yet. Later, I’ll ask someone to place a table outside of Sally’s room. Since I can’t fall asleep, I’ll keep a close watch over her. If she needs me, I’ll always be there.”
Her words had rendered Kyle speechless.
In a flash, his expression darkened.
Grandma, you’re not keeping a close watch over her. You’re just afraid that I’ll go to her room again.
“Grandma, you don’t need to stay up all night. I’m sure no one will disturb Sally, and nothing will happen to her.”
Sophia pouted. That’s not necessarily true. Who knows what will happen when I’m not watching? I can’t let you hurt my great-grandchild. It’s important to take precautions!
“I know what I’m doing. Since you need to work tomorrow, you should rest early.”
Left with no choice, Kyle nodded and returned to his room dolefully.
As soon as he finished taking a shower, his phone rang.
It was a message from Sally: When are you coming over?
Kyle: I won’t be going to your room tonight.
Sally: Why? You don’t want me to get pregnant anymore?
Kyle: Of course I do.
Sally: Then come over now. She then sent an emoticon that was beckoning him over.
Kyle: I don’t have the guts to do so. There’s a sheriff outside your room.
Furrowing her brows, Sally could not comprehend what he meant.
Thus, she jumped out of bed and opened the door slightly. Just as she glanced outside the door, she happened to meet Sophia’s eyes.
Startled, she slammed the door shut. At that instant, she could feel her heart miss a beat.
Holy cow. She’s standing guard outside my room in the middle of the night? I know she’s valiant, but I’d have never imagined her doing something like this.
After calming down, she let out a long sigh. If this goes on, I won’t have the chance to get pregnant. Why is it so difficult to get pregnant secretly?
Lying on the bed, she sent another message to Kyle: What should we do? If she keeps doing this, we won’t have a chance.
Kyle: There has to be a way. For now, we can only wait and see.
Sally: Ugh! It’s so hard to get pregnant!
Kyle: Well, this is the price you have to pay for telling lies.
Sally: What do you mean?
Kyle: If you hadn’t lied, Grandma wouldn’t think that you were pregnant, and she wouldn’t do this to protect her great-grandchild. Ergo, this is your fault!
Sally was at a loss for words. Moments later, she replied: Fine. Whatever. I’m going to sleep!
Throwing her phone aside, she rolled around on the bed but could not fall asleep. I shouldn’t have lied.
