I thought about how Shannon and I would not be in the work mood anymore before I started sharing what happened.
I let out a sigh and looked at Shannon's eyes that were colorless. I opened my mouth, "Delia is pregnant."
Shannon did not respond, probably because of how lightly I had said it.
She looked at me suspiciously. Then, she tilted her head and asked, "The female star is pregnant. No wonder she’s been going to the hospital. Whose is it?" Shannon still had a gossip-mongering expression on her.
I rubbed my eyes, helplessness written all over my face.
"Theo’s"
Shannon's eyes widened at that.
She pulled her ears in disbelief and then asked me again, "What? The child in Delia's stomach belongs to Theo? They slept together?!"
I would not have believed it if they had not told me in person.
It was only natural for Shannon to have such a reaction.
I nodded with sadness in my eyes, "Yes, at that charity dinner."
"What's going on? How could Theo..." Shannon still could not believe it.
I looked at her and smiled. "If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed it. I was socializing at the charity dinner then… I..."
I was still unable to fully accept this.
I told Shannon what they told me, and she frowned. "What the hell? Who ends up like that after drinking a glass of wine? Was there something wrong with that wine?!"
This woke me up.
Yes, how could a glass of wine cause people to lose consciousness and lead to delirium? It was clear that there was something wrong with the wine.
"You're right, there might really be an issue."
