Facade of Love

Chapter 26 Can You Not Go?

Seeing that he had almost finished eating, I spoke up. “You don’t need to spend too much time on me. For now, I won’t bring up divorce, and I’ll take good care of… the child in my belly. As for the old manor, since Madam Young told me not to come again, I won’t provoke Moore unless she starts trouble with me. At least not until she gives birth to the child.”

When I came out of the bathroom, I was surprised to see Idris, who should have already left, sitting on the armchair looking at his tablet. It looked like he was dealing with work. I could not help but frown. Considering how busy he was, should he not be at the office?

Hearing the noise, he looked up at me. We locked eyes. Although I was in my pajamas, I still felt uncomfortable and turned away, focusing on drying my hair.

I stood up, avoiding his touch. Disregarding his surprise, I calmly asked, “Aren’t you going to Young Corporation today?”

He pursed his l*ps, looked at me, and spoke in a somewhat reserved tone, “Don’t want me around?”
