Chapter 668 Finding Out the Truth

After hearing what Edmund had said, Elspeth blinked her eyes and said nothing. As the air grew awkward and tense, she decided to change the topic. "Why don't we head downstairs?"

Edmund nodded in response. "Okay. Let's go."

Meanwhile, Callum's face turned ugly when he noticed the two descended the stairs.

After hearing this, he took a deep breath, and a dark cloud formed in his eyes. "Not really. Since you are pregnant, I was only concerned that you might be exhausted or unwell."

When Edmund heard about this, he looked shocked and exclaimed, "Pregnant?"

"Yes, but I'm not that far along. It's only two months." While saying this, she stroked her belly subconsciously as a maternal glow shone on her face.

"That's great news."

"Yes, it is. What about you? When are you going to get married?" Callum had prodded at the subject on purpose to observe Edmund's reaction.
