“It’s so rare to see the two of you here. Please, take a seat.”
Davin looked at Sheila, who lowered onto the sofa unceremoniously. She thought that since Evan wasn’t around, they might as well ask Susan about the pregnancy because it wouldn’t make a difference anyway.
Seeing Sheila taking a seat, Davin followed suit.
“Hurry. Brew a pot of tea with the best tea leaves we have. We can’t very well serve ordinary tea to Mr. Davin and Ms. Muir.”
“Yes.”
“Cut some fruits too.”
“Yes!”
Sheila found Susan’s hospitality rather over-the-top and forced out a smile. “Please, don’t trouble yourself. We actually came here today to see you.”
“See me?”
Not only was Susan surprised, but so was Davin.
We obviously came here to ask my brother some questions. But all of a sudden, we’re here to see Susan?
Women aren’t just unreasonable and annoying, but they’re liars too!
Davin realized that both women in front of him were expert liars. He decided to let them battle each other in a game of lies and see who would emerge as the winner.
Sheila didn’t even bat an eyelash as she lied, nodding her head in utmost gravity.
“Yes. We heard that you’re pregnant, so we came just to see you.”
Pregnant?
Susan was startled. Why would Sheila say this?
I only mentioned my pregnancy to Nicole. Could Nicole have told her?
She had actually said that to provoke Nicole, but it seemed like she had to continue keeping the act up.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing the dazed look on her face, Sheila pressed on.
“N-Nothing. I’m just happy that the two of you came to see me. When I’m happy, the baby in my belly will also be happy.”
Sheila and Davin were stunned silent.
Their eyes met after hearing what Susan said. Could it be, that she’s really pregnant?
With disbelief apparent on Davin’s face, he asked, “How far along are you?”
“The doctor said almost two months.” Susan didn’t forget to caress her belly as she spoke, incorporating tenderness into her gaze as well.
“Does my brother know?”
Susan paused for a split second and her eyes twinkled when she answered, “He doesn’t know yet. His birthday is coming soon, so I’m planning to tell him on that day to surprise him.”
Davin’s brows drew together. Either Susan was lying, or his mother’s intel wasn’t accurate.
Since things were confirmed so quickly, Sheila didn’t see the need to stay any longer. She got to her feet and said, “In that case, rest well and take care of your body. We won’t take up any more of your time.”
“I’ll send you off.”
Susan hurriedly stood up.
She politely saw them off. After Davin’s car sped away, her expression immediately darkened.
“Get ready. I’m going to Imperial Garden.”
“Imperial Garden?”
“Yes. Nina is hurt, so I should go visit her.”
With that, she lowered her gaze to her belly with a gleam in her eyes.
She took out her phone to call Dr. Harrison.
Sheila, who was sitting in Davin’s sportscar, released a long sigh. Suddenly, she could understand Nicole’s feelings.
If another woman were pregnant with Davin’s child, she wouldn’t be able to accept it either.
Moreover, Nicole’s situation was different from hers. Nicole already had four children with Evan. Apart from not registering their marriage and holding a wedding ceremony, they were practically husband and wife.
Putting herself in Nicole’s shoes, Sheila felt that she had picked the right choice by not forgiving Evan, as no woman would be able to get over it.
Sheila sighed. “Men are really despicable.”
When Davin heard her mumbling out those words, he whipped towards her and sneered coldly. “Did you actually believe what Susan said?”
He had initially wanted to see who would come out as the winner. He never expected Sheila to lose at the beginning of the battle itself.
In terms of deceiving, her skills were a far cry from Susan’s.
“She’s already two months in. This isn’t something she can just lie about. You’re not trying to speak for your brother, are you?”
