Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 619 Something Wrong With Your Mental State

Joella’s declaration sounded ludicrous to Elspeth and Callum. They thought she had gone insane.

“What on earth are you saying? How could the child possibly be his?”

Elspeth frowned. “Is there something wrong with your mental state right now?”

Joella let out a maniacal laugh. “Weren’t you the one who kept pestering me with questions? Isn’t this what you wanted to find out?”

Elspeth was speechless. She did want to find out what was happening, but she didn’t think Joella needed to come up with such a ridiculous story.

“You claim that the child is Callum’s. Do you have any proof?”

Joella lowered her head despondently. Her voice was dark and weary as she said, “Why do you need proof? I just told you the truth. What else do you want?”

Callum realized the severity of the situation when he noticed that Joella didn’t look like she was lying about it.

Is she telling the truth?

Elspeth looked at him. The whole thing still sounded impossible to her.

She had complete faith in Callum and knew he wouldn’t have had that sort of a relationship with Joella behind her back.

Yet, Joella didn’t seem to be lying either. She sounded so sure about it.

“How did this child come about?”

Joella opened her mouth to speak when they heard a knock on the front door.

The thudding sounds against the wooden door made Joella tense up and refuse to speak.

“Who’s there?”

Elspeth got to her feet warily.

“My son’s back.”

Joella slowly stood up and headed to the door, her footsteps unsteady.

Elspeth and Callum had nowhere to go, so they chose to hide in the bedroom for now.
