Chapter 12: Pregnant? No!
After a long while of laughing, Helena stopped and wiped a couple of drops of tears from the corners of her eyes using her fingers.
She sat straight and cleared her throat, "Ehem. That's your child? Vernon. I don't know what game you are trying to play with me but I am sure about one thing."
Vernon blinked his eyes and asked, "What is it?"
"That woman isn't pregnant at all," She stated calmly.
"What? How do you know that?" Vernon was shocked. So, from the beginning to the end, Helena knew everything? Yet she did not disclose his ideas and went along in front of everyone?
"It was very clear, alright? She is a very amateur actor and had to train harder."
"..." Vernon couldn't help but scold Tristan in his heart for bringing in the 'amateur actor' to him.
He frowned and asked her, "Then why didn't you say anything about that in front of everyone? Why did you stay silent?"
"Because I saw that you were planning something. I don't know who you are planning against, but I don't want to thwart your plans. So, I just went along," Helena stated in a matter-of-fact manner.
Vernon was stunned. No matter what, he did not expect such a reason from her at all.
She thought that he was planning against someone else and went along with him in order to support him. Since he could hear her thoughts, he was sure that she was telling the truth.
