However, that topic tempted Charity. What was going on?
“Um… Can I have twins?”
“You can have twins or even triplets.” Seeing that the topic was successfully changed, Shaun took out his phone cooperatively. “I’ll share my friend’s contact with you. You can pose your questions to him anytime. If you start preparing this year, maybe you’ll be able to welcome your twin babies on this same day next year.”
“Thank you.” Charity received the number Shaun shared and quickly added it to her contacts.
Upon seeing that, a gleam flashed across Chester’s eyes.
When he pretended to go inside the house to get water, he dragged Shaun aside angrily. “D*mn it. Why did you recommend she get babies through in-vitro fertilization? Do you know how tough it is for women to conceive through in-vitro fertilization?”
“Tsk. Are you worried about her suffering or annoyed that she’ll be having another man’s baby?” Shaun teased Chester.
Chester glared at him in exasperation. “Both. Why did you recommend it so eagerly? Will your friend pay you a recommendation fee?”
“That’s because you didn’t defend me just now.” Shaun laughed as he rejoiced in Chester’s misfortune. “Did you know how wronged I felt just now?”
“How could I put in a word for you? Charity– Eliza…”
Chester realized he misspoke after blurting the name in a moment of haste, so he quickly said another name. However, Shaun had already noticed it.
“I’m just curious. I won’t harm you anyway,” Shaun said. “To be honest, my wife’s relationship with Eliza is too close, especially recently, and it puzzles me. Cathy has been in Canberra for so long, but she only bares her soul to Eliza. Even I feel like I’m not as important as Eliza to her sometimes. However, I don’t know anything about Eliza.”
“It’s only right that Catherine makes great efforts for Eliza. All of you owe her that,” Chester could not resist whispering.
“Come here. You have to tell me the truth.” Shaun looked around and pushed Chester into one of the rooms. “Why does Cathy have to pour in her effort for Eliza? Does she owe Eliza something? Why did you address Eliza as Charity? Could it be…”
At that moment, a mystical thought flashed across Shaun’s head. However, he found it too bizarre.
Chester observed his expression and knew that Shaun was too clever. “Alright. I’ll tell you about it, but you mustn't spread it. I won’t let you off the hook if you dare leak this, not even if we’re brothers.”
