Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 84

Sylvie rang the bell again, looking around and wondering how long it'd take Evelyn to get the door. Wasn't she

home?

Her gaze drifted to the parking lot. Her cars seemed complete, with an extra one that seemed to look familiar.

But she knew it didn't belong to Evelyn. Anyway, it meant she was home. So, why was she taking so long to

answer the door? She was about ringing the bell again when Evelyn finally opened up, appearing breathless.

"Sylvie!" She half-exclaimed.

She was sweaty and... flustered, as if she'd been doing sserious running. But it was morning and the kids

were supposed to be in school. What else kept her so busy?

"H... Hi, Evelyn." Sylvie let out a tensed smile. "Sorry, did | meet you at a bad time?"

Evelyn managed to laugh, but it cout almost forced. "Of course, not. It's just... you didn't tellyou were

"Actually, I tried to call but couldn't reach you. So, | sent you a text. Didn't

Oh Anyway, I'm sorry. It was urgent, so there was no tto wait. But-" It was odd that Sylvie was still standing

outside the door with Evelyn in the way. She wasn't letting her in?"-If this is a bad time, I Just leave and-

"No, no, it's fine. Do cone in." Finally, Evelyn stepped out of the way.

Sylvie exhaled a deep breath as she walked into the cool living room. With the kids not home, the place looked

organized.

Kids... The realization brought color to her cheeks. In a few months, she'd be getting ence a

Sylvie didn't know if she was behind paranoid, but Evelyn seemed kind of nervous.

Evelyn's eyes beamed. "Y... You did?"

"Yes. | couldn't go on with keeping him in the dark. If something this serious is going on, he needs to know."

To Sylvie's surprise, Evelyn flashed a broad smile the first genuine one she's given since Sylvie arrived. "W...Well,

that's... that's better. It's best that Kage knows. Anyway,"

"Sylvie?" Her attention was snapped back. "Are...are you okay? It seems you zoned out or something."

"Yeah," Sylvie itched her brows. "Sorry, | was listening. | was just thinking of the possibilities."

"Okay. So, | think we should consider..." Evelyn went on and on, with Sylvie doing all she could

pay attention.
