Matthew’s gaze bore into Haley’s with a weighty significance.
Haley glanced down at her feet nervously, sensing Matthew had caught on to something.
She knew lying wouldn’t suffice.
After a moment’s hesitation, she confessed, “I…I have a boyfriend.”
“Boyfriend?” Stella exclaimed, surprised. “Since when?”
“Well…” Haley hesitated, unsure of what to say.
Matthew pulled Stella close. “Let’s respect her privacy, honey. No need for further questions.” Turning to Haley, he added, “You should introduce us to your boyfriend. We could all have dinner together.”
“Um… Okay…” Haley stammered, her mind racing.
The situation was becoming increasingly complicated.
Flossie was still in the hospital.

She had to stay there for a few more days because she caught a cold and showed signs of miscarriage.
But now that she was feeling better and her vital signs had stabilized, she could already be discharged.
She didn’t dare to delay, fearing that the doctor or nurse would spill the beans to Benny about her pregnancy.
Benny held Flossie in his arm and left the ward. They walked to the elevator. When they were about to enter, a child suddenly jumped past them. For some reason, the child tripped and fell.
The child must be in pain. He cried bitterly and couldn’t get up.
Benny ignored the child. He continued to walk forward with Flossie in his arm.
Flossie, on the other hand, felt distressed when she heard the child’s cry. She stopped walking, broke free from Benny’s arms, and went to help the child. She got him up and comforted him with a few words.
Finally, the child smiled. Then, he said goodbye to her and left happily.

Flossie watched the child’s receding back. When his figure finally disappeared from her sight, she looked at Benny. It was only then that she noticed that Benny was still standing there motionless.
She blinked and asked tentatively, “Don’t you like children?”
Benny’s face was still expressionless. “No. They are troublesome.”
Flossie felt a little sad, but she still forced a smile and said, “Maybe you will change your mind when you have your own child in the future.”
Benny didn’t say anything. But she noticed a stern look in his eyes.
Actually, Benny had a child with Evelyn before. However, she had a miscarriage, which made her suffer a lot.
