Chapter 617
It was Harvey who answered the door, but he appeared annoyed. "I thought you weren't coming." "I was delayed," Irene said flatly.
Harvey stood aside to let her in. "Come in."
Irene stood at the doorway, glancing inside warily, and she only entered after seeing someone else inside.
Harvey closed the door and asked, "What are you worried about? That I'd do something to you?”
"Have you ever succeeded?" Irene asked.
Harvey was speechless-he had to give it to her, she was certainly cunning.
Since the subject was not to his advantage, he changed it. "This is my wife, Heather."
The woman on the couch had the baby in her arms and she greeted Irene politely. "Hello. Harvey told me a friend is visiting, and that would be you, right? Pleased to meet you,".
Having no idea what Harvey was actually up to, Irene politely smiled in return. "Likewise."
Harvey walked up and put an arm on Heather's shoulder, watching Irene as he said, "We're supposed to be friends, but she skipped out on our wedding. It upsets me greatly!"
"I can't travel far," Irene explained.
"Really?" Harvey studied her from head to toe just then, and soon came to realize. "Oh, right-you were in labor. So, where's your child? When's the christening?"
Irene scowled, her glare turning sharp just then. "I have a question about that. You haven't been married for two months, have you? But when was that child born?"
Harvey remained unperturbed, and clapped Heatheron the shoulder. "You tell her."
"I've been with Harvey for a while," Heather said then. "But this was a shotgun wedding."
It made perfect senses, but Irene doubted it. "Really?"
"What, don't you believe her?" Harvey asked.
"No," Irene replied shortly. "My baby is missing, and I think you abducted him."
