His Unveiled Passion

At that, Wendy's eyes flickered. Rather than answering directly, she followed Yanis' lead and asked a question of her own. "Mrs. Gomez, how's the company doing lately?"

"What do you mean?" Yanis looked a little puzzled, unsure why Wendy would bring that up out of the blue.

Wendy played it cool. "It's just that I haven't seen Zachary for several days now. I've gone to the office a few times, but he was never there. Did something happen at work?"

Yanis was a full-time socialite. She had no idea what was going on outside her beauty salons, shopping trips, and afternoon tea. Business matters were far beyond her scope.

So when Wendy asked her this, she didn't suspect a thing. She assumed the question came from genuine concern for Zachary and responded with a smile.

"Everything seems normal. Zachary and his father haven't said anything to me. Maybe he's just a bit busy lately. I'll talk to him. No matter how packed his schedule is, he shouldn't be neglecting his wife and child. I'll tell him to make more time for you."

Seeing that Yanis was completely in the dark, Wendy didn't push further.

"Mrs. Gomez, there's no need to have the housekeeper move in. It's not convenient here."

Yanis looked slightly hesitant. "I just worry about you living alone. Pregnant women really need someone around."

What could possibly happen? Wendy rolled her eyes inwardly.

She had already started thinking about getting an abortion. If Yanis placed someone in her home to monitor her every move, how was she supposed to go through with it?
