The man smiled when seeing me and said to his wife, “Honey, bring the cuttlefish and red dates soup in the kitchen over for Mrs. George. It’s good for the baby!”
I was surprised and hurriedly thanked him. Marcus hated the way he spoke and whispered, “No matter how nutritious the soup is, it cannot change the fact that the baby is already gone.”
Dennis glanced at me, making me a bit unnerved. I was worried that he would sense something from the man’s words and interrupted them, saying, “You haven’t introduced this gentleman to me, Dennis!”
I said it in a gentle manner and behaved like a good wife should be.
Dennis startled and watched me for a while, then he started introducing.

I was worried after the simple greeting. I tried hard to cover up the truth that I didn’t have an abortion to deceive Dennis. What should I do if Eric accidentally told him the truth?
