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.

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."

Nonetheless, Edmund shrugged and replied, "I don't plan on marrying anytime soon. Since I have Cam to look after, I can't just marry anyone. If the person I marry is ultimately not a good fit for him, it will be bad for him."
