Yvonne didn't want to answer him in the first place, but she couldn’t refuse after seeing Henry's heavy expression earlier.
Upon seeing this, Elliot approached her with a smile. "I t seems that you’re curious about what they want to talk about."
Yvonne rolled her eyes and ignored him. Then, she crept toward Henry. 1
Elliot chuckled softly after seeing her action and followed her.
The two of them leaned on the wall at the balcony, one after another. It was a blind spot, so they didn’t have t o worry about being seen by others. Instead, they could clearly see what the people outside the balcony were doing.
Elliot poked Yvonne who was in front of him with his elbow. He lowered his voice and said proudly, "What d o you think of the spot I chose?”
Yvonne was speechless. "That's enough. Shut your mouth now, they're talking."
Joe was standing respectfully behind Henry outside the balcony.
Looking at the distance, Henry looked tense. "Has Jacqueline confessed?”
"No." Joe shook his head.
Henry frowned fiercely when he heard that. "Did you not torture her?"
"I did," Joe sighed, "but she stands firm on her previous statement. She even said if you don't believe that you both slept together, you should wait two months for her."
"What does this mean?" Henry was unsure.
But Yvonne, who was eavesdropping, understood what it meant. Her finger on the wall slowly tightened up.
Two months...
Two months were enough to check whether a woman was pregnant or not!
Did Jacqueline want to be pregnant with Henry's child?
As she expected, Joe’s answer confirmed her guess.
"What Jacqueline meant is that if you don't believe you both had sex, you'll believe it when she’s pregnant after two months," Joe said.
"Pregnant?" Henry's pupils shrank instantly.
Joe nodded. "Yes, this is what she said."
"She actually had this planned!" Henry clenched his fists.
In the dark, Yvonne couldn't listen to it anymore. She was very confused, so she turned around and walked away.
When Elliot saw that she was gone, he felt that it wasn't good for him to continue eavesdropping, so he followed her.
Once they returned to the previous place, Elliot asked," Why don't you continue listening to them?"
"What’s the point?" Yvonne lowered her eyelids and answered in a low voice.
Elliot chuckled, "I think when you heard Jacqueline might be pregnant with Mr. Lancaster's child, you couldn't accept it, so you stopped listening."
Yvonne was caught red-handed. She pursed her lips. " You knew it and you're still asking me!"
"Haha." Elliot shrugged. "What are you going to do now?"
"What to do?" Yvonne looked at him.
Elliot raised his eyebrows. "About this matter, of course. Mr. Lancaster is cheating on you and that woman may be pregnant with his child. Don't you mind?"
Yvonne remained silent and didn't answer.
Don't mind?
How could she not mind? She minded so much.
But what could she do? Cry out loud?
"Why don't you talk?” Elliot asked again.
Yvonne bit her lower lip. "There's nothing to say. It's already happened. What can I do even if I do mind?"
"That’s true, but you can divorce him." Elliot's eyes shone with excitement.
Yvonne's eyes froze. "Divorce?"
