The second Shirley spoke those words, the entire living room fell silent, and everything seemed to be frozen in place.
Shirley had expected that reaction from Camille and Ada.
“What… What did you just say?” Camille asked her again with joy on her face. “Shirley, can you repeat what you just said?”
Looking at Camille’s astonished face, Shirley unhurriedly repeated her words.
“I said, I’m pregnant, and the baby belongs to Carter.”
“ .” Ada’s expression darkened when she heard what Shirley had said for the second time.
Camille, on the other hand, was overjoyed.
“ Is this true, Shirley? Are you really pregnant with Carter’s baby?” Camille was unable to conceal her happiness.
Shirley calmly nodded her head. “Yes, I’m one month pregnant with Carter’s baby.”
“…” Ada looked at Shirley’s confident eyes. Ada’s mouth twitched, and her expression completely fell.
“Shirley, stop spouting nonsense. How is it possible that you’re pregnant with Carter’s baby? How could Carter have that kind of relationship with you?”
Ada questioned, refusing to believe her.
Camille kept quiet because she knew, and had always known, that Carter liked Shirley.
All the while.
When Carter had brought Shirley home previously, Camille had already anticipated that the two of them would somehow be emotionally involved.
