Davin quickly explained his plan. After listening intently, Nicole fell silent for a moment before figuring she could play along. This is for Levant’s sake. I’ll consider this as doing him a favor.
Levant walked in and was surprised to see Davin and Sheila too. “What a coincidence! You’re both here too.”
“Yeah, we’re here to congratulate Nicole. Is that what you’re here for as well?”
Congratulate her?
Levant scratched his head in confusion. What is there to congratulate her for?
Just as he was about to inquire, Sheila proudly announced, “Nicole is pregnant again! She’s going to have another child soon. Isn’t this great news?”
What?
Nicole is pregnant again?
Levant clearly looked shocked as he stared at Nicole’s flat belly. But she doesn’t look pregnant at all!
Feeling uncomfortable being gazed at like that, Nicole turned away. Sheila rolled her eyes at Levant. “What are you staring at? She just got pregnant, so it’s not like her belly would look any different yet.”
“Are you really pregnant, Nicole?” asked Levant. He still couldn’t believe it.
Nicole nodded. “Yeah. It’s only been two months, though.” A hint of guilt flashed in her eyes, but she hurriedly suppressed it.
Still, her words were like a knife stabbing into Levant’s heart. His beautiful fantasies of being with Nicole had now been shattered into pieces.
All this while, the man constantly awaited his chance, hoping that Evan and Nicole would part ways. Yet, now…
I guess that day will never come.
At this very moment, his heart turned into frost. It was so cold that he felt numb.
