The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 453

Chapter 453 Something Is Off

Daphne stepped in and said, “Dr. Thorne is a reputable doctor highly regarded by pregnant women. I think she was even featured in a medical journal before.”

A smile played at the corners of Whitney’s lips.

She knew what Daphne had in mind but decided to play along. “I know. What she has accomplished at this age is just a glimpse of what can be achieved in the future.”

Business courtesies usually began with mutual compliments, but Lysander seemed unaware of it.

Thankfully, Daphne was quite eloquent in showering Whitney with praises.

Nevertheless, Whitney, knowing the purpose of her visit, remained indifferent to her compliments. When Daphne spoke, Whitney merely lowered her head and offered a faint smile. It was difficult to tell if she was paying attention to what Daphne said.

“There have been quite a few folks who were really struggling to have a baby. But once they went to Dr. Thorne, things started looking up for them. Some even got their wishes fulfilled in the end.” When Daphne made this remark, a slight shift in Whitney’s expression was noticeable.

Noticing the change in Whitney’s expression, Daphne knew she had to seize the opportunity. “Ms. Spears, since you’re already here, why not make the most of this trip? It’s an option worth exploring, after all. Giving it a try won’t cause any harm. What do you think?” Lysander suggested, her tone encouraging.

Whitney’s eyes flickered. “You’ve done your homework on me, haven’t you, Ms. Everhart?”

“Oh, no, please don’t take it the wrong way. Besides, I’m not capable of that either. Ms. Spears, since the banquet hasn’t begun yet, perhaps we could have a private chat?” Daphne asked.

Given t

the extremely personal nature of the topic, it was best not to discuss it in front of others.

After sizing them up for a while and assessing the situation, Whitney nodded. “All right. Let’s head over there.”

Daphne and Lysander exchanged glances before joining Whitney in a quiet corner of the hall where they could converse without worrying about being disturbed or overheard by others.
