While Robert was enjoying his meal, my remark caught his attention, causing him to pause. Seeing him look at me, he quickly wiped his mouth with a napkin, trying to conceal his uneasiness.


    Sherry, sitting across, also fixed her gaze on Robert’s face, clearly showing her interest in the topic.


    I changed the subject abruptly, “The little guy is quite vignt, didn’t spill the beans.”


    Robert visibly rxed after hearing this, nonchntly continuing to eat as if nothing had happened.


    I continued, “I had to take him back to the teacher, was nning to drop him off, but thought his dad might be in a hurry, so I didn’t.”


    Robert, pretending indifference, listened to my words, paused for a moment, then turned to me with a forced smile, “You do love to meddle in others’ affairs!”


    “Come on, I can’t just stand by, especially considering that Amelia used to be our employee. We had a connection, and I couldn’t just ignore it. Leaving a child alone is dangerous,” I argued with Robert and curiously asked, “The boy looked cute. Have you ever seen his dad?”


    “No, I haven’t.”


    “How’s that possible? Didn’t you attend her wedding? I’m surprised you didn’t go,” I expressed my doubt.


    Robert cast a nce at me, “I didn’t go. When she resigned, thepany was in a critical situation. She decided to quit at that time. So, I don’t have a good impression of her. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t bother with her.”


    I was shocked. Robert has be so good at telling lies! Was this still the same Robert I knew back then?


    The more he tried to deflect, the more determined I became to dig deeper, “But she mentionedst time that she would bring the child to thepany often, and you even bought snacks for the kid, ying along with him calling you ‘dad.''”


    Robert seemed a bit displeased, furrowing his brows as he looked at me. After a brief pause, he turned his head and continued eating, “Wifey, I don’t remember things from so many years ago. Why are you suddenly so interested in gossip? You believe anything.”


    “I’m not gossiping. Just because I saw Ryan today.” I innocently smiled, relishing the satisfaction of making him ufortable.


    “The kid is chubby, quite likable. Ollie even said your mom always praises him as if he’s her own grandson,” I continued, baiting Sherry, who was evidently tense.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Sherry’s mouth twitched slightly, disying her disdain.


    I served some vegetables to Oliver and continued, “Amelia is really something, making her husband so mysterious, as if he can’t be seen by others. But being able to send the child to an elite private school indicates some influence. I thought you must know him!”


    “There are many influential men; do I have to know them all?” Robert grumbled.


    “I’m just curious,” I suddenly became very gossip-like, exaggerating my expression and whispering to Robert, “Do you think she might be kept by someone? Otherwise, why is she always so secretive? I might ask around one day!”
