Ella's gossip desire was burning, but at the same time, she was worried about Mavis.
Anthony's wife ran away from home. She not only had a man outside, but also got pregnant with a baby.
Men were sensitive about their reputation. What if Anthony got angry and hurt Mavis?
Thinking of this, she took advantage of Anthony's figure completely disappearing at the end of the corridor, and knocked on Mavis' door.
Mavis thought it was Anthony who was stalking and refused to leave, so she yelled at the door angrily, "Are you finished? Don't bother me!"
Ella whispered into the door, "Mavis, it's me. I'm Ella."
After she said this, within a minute, the door opened.
Mavis looked at her apologetically, "Sorry, I never thought it was you."
Ella looked helpless. "Let me go in first?"
Mavis took her arm to let her in and locked the door.
The two sat in the room, and Mavis was in a daze on the sofa.
Seeing this, Ella took the initiative to pour her a glass of water.
"My mother said that when you are pregnant with a baby, you should not be angry or sad. You must keep your mood at ease. Your current state is not only bad for the child, but also bad for you."
If she had antenatal depression, it was really bad.
Mavis nodded. "Understood, I'll try to keep a better mood."
Ella shook her head and sighed, "If you are angry, vent it to the man. Don't hold it in yourself ."
Mavis chuckled, "Okay."
Recalling the conversation she just heard in front of the door, Ella asked bluntly, "Mavis, I'm sorry I accidentally overheard your conversation with Mr. Callahan just now. I heard you say... you and my brother ..."
The more she talked about it, she was more embarrassed to express it, so she chose to express it with her fingers.
She made a thumbs up face.
Mavis was a little embarrassed, and said embarrassing, "I'm sorry, Ella. I was anxious just now, so I used your brother as a shield."
"Ah?"
Ella was a little disappointed.
Just a shield?
If this was the case, then the child in Mavis' stomach was not her brother's?
"Mavis, the baby's father... is your husband, Mr. Callahan?"
Mavis avoided looking at her, and her eyes averted a little.
"Although I don't want to admit it, it is indeed his."
Ella was stunned. "As the baby's father, he didn't even know his wife was pregnant. How dereliction of duty does he have as a husband?"
Mavis completely lowered her head and stopped talking.
Ella knew that she talked about her pain, so she pulled her arm distressedly.
"Mavis, although I really don't want to tell the truth, I think the more you care about this matter and the more lonely you feel, it means that you have him in your heart. Why don't you tell him frankly that he is the father of the baby?"
"Because my baby doesn't need a father. I'll give it all my love."
Ella disagreed with her point of view. "Mavis, what you give your baby is maternal love, but what Mr. Callahan can give is fatherly love. This is different. In the life world of children, parents are equally important roles."
She shook her head. "There are some incompetent fathers. It's better not to have them."
Just like her father.
He was not educated, drank heavily all the year round, and beat her mother when he was drunk. He was also patriarchal, scolding her and her mother all day long to be useless.
Such a scumbag was not worthy of being her father, but will instead cause a lifetime trauma on the child.
Although, with Anthony's knowledge and cultivation, he wouldn't be so bad, Anthony didn't love her.
It was not good if the baby lived in a place where the parents did not love each other.
