âItâs so rare to see the two of you here. Please, take a seat.â
Davin looked at Sheila, who lowered onto the sofa unceremoniously. She thought that since Evan wasnât around, they might as well ask Susan about the pregnancy because it wouldnât make a difference anyway.
Seeing Sheila taking a seat, Davin followed suit.
âHurry. Brew a pot of tea with the best tea leaves we have. We canât very well serve ordinary tea to Mr. Davin and Ms. Muir.â
âYes.â
âCut some fruits too.â
âYes!â
Sheila found Susanâs hospitality rather over-the-top and forced out a smile. âPlease, donât trouble yourself. We actually came here today to see you.â
âSee me?â
Not only was Susan surprised, but so was Davin.
We obviously came here to ask my brother some questions. But all of a sudden, weâre here to see Susan?
Women arenât just unreasonable and annoying, but theyâre 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 didnât even bat an eyelash as she lied, nodding her head in utmost gravity.
âYes. We heard that youâre pregnant, so we came just to see you.â
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.
âWhatâs wrong?â Seeing the dazed look on her face, Sheila pressed on.
âN-Nothing. Iâm just happy that the two of you came to see me. When Iâm happy, the baby in my belly will also be happy.â
Sheila and Davin were stunned silent.
Their eyes met after hearing what Susan said. Could it be, that sheâs really pregnant?
With disbelief apparent on Davinâs face, he asked, âHow far along are you?â
âThe doctor said almost two months.â Susan didnât forget to caress her belly as she spoke, incorporating tenderness into her gaze as well.
âDoes my brother know?â
Susan paused for a split second and her eyes twinkled when she answered, âHe doesnât know yet. His birthday is coming soon, so Iâm planning to tell him on that day to surprise him.â
Davinâs brows drew together. Either Susan was lying, or his motherâs intel wasnât accurate.
Since things were confirmed so quickly, Sheila didnât see the need to stay any longer. She got to her feet and said, âIn that case, rest well and take care of your body. We wonât take up any more of your time.â
âIâll send you off.â
Susan hurriedly stood up.
She politely saw them off. After Davinâs car sped away, her expression immediately darkened.
âGet ready. Iâm going to Imperial Garden.â
âImperial Garden?â
âYes. Nina is hurt, so I should go visit her.â
With that, she lowered her gaze to her belly with a gleam in her eyes.
She took out her phone to call Dr. Harrison.
Sheila, who was sitting in Davinâs sportscar, released a long sigh. Suddenly, she could understand Nicoleâs feelings.
If another woman were pregnant with Davinâs child, she wouldnât be able to accept it either.
Moreover, Nicoleâs situation was different from hers. Nicole already had four children with Evan. Apart from not registering their marriage and holding a wedding ceremony, they were practically husband and wife.
Putting herself in Nicoleâs shoes, Sheila felt that she had picked the right choice by not forgiving Evan, as no woman would be able to get over it.
Sheila sighed. âMen are really despicable.â
When Davin heard her mumbling out those words, he whipped towards her and sneered coldly. âDid you actually believe what Susan said?â
He had initially wanted to see who would come out as the winner. He never expected Sheila to lose at the beginning of the battle itself.
In terms of deceiving, her skills were a far cry from Susanâs.
âSheâs already two months in. This isnât something she can just lie about. Youâre not trying to speak for your brother, are you?â
