"Are you pregnant?" Niel asked, his eyes wide with surprise. "Why the secrecy about your hospital visit? Are you trying to surprise Ian? But that's impossible, you've only been together for a few months. When did you start...you know, getting intimate with him?" Niel rapid-fired his questions, his curiosity getting the better of him.
Ivy's eyes widened in shock. "I don't know what to say...," she started, but Niel cut her off.
"So, you're really pregnant?" he asked, his voice low with uncertainty.
Ivy quickly typed out a response on her phone. "No, of course not! Why would you even think that?" She was taken aback by Niel's questions. They were the last thing she expected from him.
Given the miserable state of her marriage to Ian, having a child would be the last thing on her mind. She still had dreams she wished to pursue and childbirth was the last on that list.
"I-I don't know, I'm sorry," Niel stammered, feeling overwhelmed.
