“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?
