Female NovelTrevor didn’t risk placing the breakfast on Shirley’s desk until he was sure the office was empty. If theircolleagues were to witness his gesture, they would likely joke and create gossip. Additionally, he wasconcerned that someone might report them to their supervisor.
“I brought it for you. Just eat it,” Trevor replied.
“I’ve already eaten. You don’t need to bring me breakfast in the future. I’ve told you already that thebaby in my belly has nothing to do with you!” Shirley texted back.
Shirley chastised herself for her earlier lack of caution. It wasn’t until she joined the company that shediscovered Trevor was also employed there. She felt guilty toward him and tried to keep her distancefrom him. When they crossed paths, she pretended she didn’t know him.
Trevor believed that the events between them at the hot spring resort significantly impacted Shirley andshe was burdened with guilt by it.
Trevor was determined to make amends and avoid causing her any further distress, so he respectedher desire to maintain a facade of unfamiliarity between them. As a result, they behaved like typicalcolleagues.
Being just an intern, Shirley knew her time at the company was limited. She would leave before thesummer vacation ended.
Until the noon break that day, a few colleagues didn’t return after going out for lunch. Some hadordered takeout and enjoyed their meals, while others took the opportunity to rest.
After finishing her takeout, Shirley discreetly went to the tea room to take her medication.
Swallowing her medicine, Shirley turned around to find Trevor standing behind her, his gaze fixed onthe medicine bottle on the table.
Shirley’s heart raced, and she instinctively grabbed the bottle and stashed it in her pocket.
However, Trevor had already caught sight of the words written on the bottle. His gaze traveled up anddown Shirley’s figure, fixing on her belly. Understanding dawned on him, and he realized why she woreloose clothing.
Shirley opened her mouth, attempting to clarify any misunderstandings he may have had.
But before she could speak, Trevor asked in a low tone, “It’s my child, isn’t it?”
Shirley was stunned. “It’s not yours,” she quickly asserted. “It has nothing to do with you.”
“If it’s not mine, then whose is it?” Trevor pressed on.novelbin
Shirley’s protruding belly necessitated loose clothing, a telltale sign that the baby was at least four orfive months old. In Trevor’s mind, the math left only one plausible option he was the father.
Tyrone had orchestrated Shirley and Trevor’s liaison. Aware that Shirley didn’t have a boyfriend then,Trevor was left questioning the paternity.
Shirley didn’t know how to answer him. To distract him, Shirley falsely stated that the baby was onlythree months old, hoping to mislead him.
However, Trevor eyed her skeptically. “You got a boyfriend within a month after that? I don’t buy it. Iwant to meet him!”
Speechless, Shirley grappled with the situation.
Despite Shirley’s persistent denials, Trevor remained steadfast in his belief that the baby in her bellywas his. His actions spoke louder than words as he regularly brought her breakfast and lunch.
Particularly lunch.
Trevor advised her that frequent takeout wasn’t healthy for her or the baby and declared his intent toactively participate in raising the child since she chose to keep it.
