“What?” Ginna froze. Elspeth? Why is she here? And why is she with Elias?
Elias noticed the tension in the air, and he smirked. “You girls know each other?”
Elspeth nodded with a mysterious smile. “Know her? We have history.”
“Well, you girls go ahead then. I need to do something, so excuse me.” Elias refused to see this woman. She was the one who wanted to cancel the marriage, yet now she was acting like they were engaged. It was disgusting. He left, and now only the ladies were left.
“Hooking up with another man behind Callum’s back. Wonder what he’s going to think if he finds out.”
A smug smile curled Ginna’s lips. Her sister asked her to topple Elspeth and she had been agonizing over the plan, but now the perfect plan just walked up to her.
“Don’t give me that smug look.” Elspeth took a sip of her tea and looked at the bulging belly Ginna was trying to hide. “Wonder what your fiancé’s going to think when he finds out you’re two months pregnant.” No use hiding it. I can tell.
“What?” Ginna was shocked. How did she know? She gritted her teeth, her face pale. “Who told you that? What else do you know?”
“Doesn’t matter what I know. Point is if the Coles find out the real reason you want to cancel the marriage is that you f*cked another man behind Elias’ back and got knocked up…”
The color drained from Ginna’s face.
She didn’t tell anyone about her pregnancy, not even her family. If they were to find out, or even worse, if the Coles were to find out, then she was done for. The Coles would come after her, and her family would disown her. “Stop your lies!”
I can’t believe she’s still trying to deny it. Elspeth pursed her lips. “If you think I’m lying, why don’t you get a checkup at the hospital and tell me the results then?”
“So what if you know I’m pregnant? Do you think the Coles will listen to you? Nobody can force me to get a checkup if I refuse to.”
A frown furrowed Elspeth’s forehead. How annoying. “I didn’t start this fight. You did.”
