Chapter 1942



"Tsk!" Shannon frowned and then said, "It was that time at your place."

The moment she said that, my mind started automatically searching for the memory.

Then I remembered.

It was the day Shannon came to the villa. She had whispered something to Theo before she left. It turned out that the words she said came true.

I suddenly realized this and narrowed my eyes. "Why didn't you tell me directly?"

"Oh, would it be of any use if I had?" Shannon rolled her eyes at me, looking frustrated. "You were talking her up and feeling so guilty. Well done now. You've just about handed over your house and husband to her. Has it relieved your guilt?"

Every one of her words made me feel like my heart had been punctured with many holes. I pouted. "But aside from these, Nicky did actually save me several times."

At this moment, Shannon was abruptly energized. She sat up, pointed her finger at me, and raised her brow. "I think... you can look into those matters further."

She looked at me. Her tone was meaningful and made me hesitate. Was there any inside story?

Shifting my eyes slightly, I tentatively asked, "You mean she's been deceiving me?"

"I already told you this. It could be a coincidence if it happened once, but how could it be when the same thing happened so many times?" Shannon spread her hands out and looked at me with her head tilted. Her attitude seemed to indicate that something fishy had been going on.

I gulped. If there was something off about those incidents, then Nicky would be quite a terrifying person. This scared me.

I pursed my lips. I was thinking, but I had no answer.

Seeing me silent for a long time, Shannon knocked the table and pulled me out of my thoughts. "How engrossed you are! Did you think of something?"

I shook my head. "No, I was just thinking that if this is the case, then she's very meticulous."

"With how big the world is, there are

all kinds of people in it. You might not think that she'd do something like that when in fact, she might have done all sorts of things. That's why you shouldn't trust one person too much, even if it's the person closest to you." Shannon's expression abruptly took on a

serious edge when she said this. Her

tone also turned solemn.

The sudden change in her mood stunned me. I stared at Shannon in the video call. "Why did you say that? What happened?"

She waved her hand and went back

to looking cynical. "No, it was

momentary feeling. I'm just the sto

easily, you idiot!" FindNovel.net

"How about you? Can I trust you?" I asked.

We experienced life and death the moment we met. I should be able to trust her.

Shannon looked at me and smiled. "Of course, you can trust me unconditionally, and so can I trust you."

Her firm words warmed my heart. I used to have Cecilia, but now I have her.

She touched her belly after she said that. "My due date is approaching. I'll come over then."

I nodded. "I'll rush over as long as you tell me to. I have to be the child's godmother."

"Then you'll have to prepare a hefty cash gift for their first birthday

y."Shannon smiled so w ty

like she could already predict how that day would be.

"That's for sure." I made an 'OK' gesture.

It had been three hours since my call with Shannon, but it had allowed me to think more clearly.

Maybe I really ought to re-investigate what happened before. Nicky might not be such a simple person...
