Chapter 124: Barking Dog
After making sure that Ellie was asleep, Rory walked out of the room. She thought she heard Derick and Lennon talking in the hallways sometime ago, but there was no one in the hallways then.
She went downstairs.
Rory checked the news for any information about the two cases and learned that there is going to be a press meeting for the Allison Stewart case. Rory figured that this would be where they will announce that Allison was "r@ped" by Liam and she was pregnant with his baby which was the motivation for the murder.
She sat at the dining table with her hands supporting her head. She knew the moment they announce it to the press, the cops in this town will knock on their doors for an arrest.
It will be the middle of the night then.
She regretted not leaving for LA. At least then they could have spared this humiliation in their hometown. Everyone is going to laugh at them. And no one is going to pity them or support them.
As she was wondering, Liam came out of Frank’s room. He did not look good. He met with her eyes and his first instinct was to run out. He’s been doing it all his life.
But fisting his hands, he walked to her.
"He says he will support me, Cherry. And Claire too... She might be..." Liam paused.
"She’s pregnant," Rory said. She did not think that she needs to hide it from him anymore. He looked defeated.
"I should congratulate them, then," Liam said. His voice was bland and he appeared to not mind anything.
She remembered hearing from someone that humans always try to find reasons to be unhappy. When they have everything, sometimes, they find even the happy chirps of birds to be annoying and they would get mad about it. And when they are in truly deep sh*t, those simple problems that they thought might split their head would do nothing to faze them.
