Chapter 325: Shocked
Ian’s eyes widened, and he nearly toppled over in his chair, catching himself just in time. While a loud bang echoed from under his desk where Isabella had straightened at this news and banged her head against the underside of the desk.
Isabelle covered her mouth to stifle a gasp and rubbed her head slowly.
Nora frowned at the loud sound," What was that?"
"I banged my foot against the table? Isabella is pregnant?" Ian asked uncertainly. For one if she was really pregnant, he was hundred percent sure that it couldn’t be his.
"Pregnant? Isabella? Are you sure?", Ian stuttered, his voice a mixture of shock and disbelief.
Nora nodded solemnly, her expression unwavering. "Yes, pregnant. And she claims you’re the father."
Ian’s face turned a shade of red that could rival a tomato. He glanced down at the desk, where Isabella was undoubtedly regretting her life choices at that moment about lying to Nora. Ian opened and closed his mouth several times, unable to form coherent words.
"Its impossible!" he finally claimed. He’d heard a few wild things in his life but this topped them. Could Nora be lying? He looked at her innocent face and doubted himself. She had to be lying. Otherwise, Isabella would not have hidden here after telling such a lie, right?
Suddenly, he felt a pull on his pant leg, and pushed back his chair to put some distance between her and himself. Pregnant? He’d been careful to stay away from that word ever since he understood how procreation worked. He was still trying to think of a way to come out of this when Nora questioned him, "Why is it impossible? Are you infertile?"
