Meeting Joshua's cold gaze, it was as though his deep, dark eyes were about to see through every thought Yannie had in mind. His question was so sharp that Yannie was at a loss for words.
Yannie bit her lip and lowered her head to look at her feet, reluctant to say anything.
In truth, she was a coward, and she was afraid of Joshua's merciless gaze. That was why she did not dare to raise her hand and make eye contact with Joshua. She was scared that she would accidentally spill to Joshua that she had, once upon a time, carried and birthed Thomas' baby.
The stillborn was a secret, and none but Father Samuel and the obstetrician knew about it. She did not know if anyone else knew about the baby's existence.
Regardless, she did not want people to feel pity for her or laugh at her like she was a hot topic for their afternoon tea session.
There was a reason that led to the way Yannie thought; she had read gossip related to Thomas before.
It was a gossip where the woman said sadly that she was pregnant with Thomas' child and even showed proof of her pregnancy result. However, the outcome was terrifying.
Before Thomas and his company clarified the gossip, Thomas' fans started to ridicule the woman by saying that she was a sl*t, saying the woman got what she wanted and still trying to gain more attention.
They claimed that the woman deliberately got pregnant with Thomas' baby and that the woman wanted to gain fame and
wealth through Thomas.
Some even said the woman was delusional and that she should be locked up in an asylum forever.
Yannie had read all of those mean comments as she held the pregnancy result tightly in one hand. Although she was not that woman, she somehow felt those comments...were aimed at her.
