Josiah knitted his brows as he stared at me. His dark eyes were scrutinizing me as if he was trying to know the truth.

I was composed. I sat quietly and let him size me up.

I chuckled. "I'm flattered. It's just a way to survive. Besides, Hendrix and I are not fit for each other. It's not the right time to have a baby."

He tried some food and he seemed very satisfied. He turned his attention back to me and asked, "When are you going to leave?"

I was taken aback. I looked up to meet his eyes. In truth, I was shocked. I was planning to get rid of the baby before filing a divorce. I planned to leave Ucrebury but I was not sure where I should go. To my surprise, he guessed all my plans.
