He put it in front of Matthew and left without a word.
Finally, Sheffield opened his mouth to break the silence. A sincere expression replaced the playful smile on his face as he began, “I'm serious about being with your sister."
There was no other reason for Matthew to ask him out except to talk about Evelyn.
"I don't think so,“ Matthew said curtly.
“It doesn't matter. You'll think the same way in the future." Sheffield didn't mind his blunt attitude.
“Since when you became so serious about my sister?"
"I was serious from the very beginning." Sheffield wouldn't have entered her room in Flando that night if he hadn't decided to spend his whole life with her.
With a taunting smile, Matthew blurted out the words that shocked the doctor.
“If that's the case, where were you when my sister got pregnant?"
‘Pregnant?’ Sheffield was stupefied. It took him a long while to find his voice again, but he stammered, “What...do you mean? Evelyn?
Pregnant?" He had met Evelyn just yesterday, but she didn't mention anything about her pregnancy.
Observing the subtle changes of his facial expression, Matthew meticulously tried to find a trace of insincerity and deception on his face, but there wasn't.
“When did she get pregnant?" Sheffield stood up from the sofa excitedly.
Matthew remained silent.
Sheffield had managed to act Like a prudent man just a moment ago, but this news made him lose his composure. With an excited smile, the doctor trotted to the young man and asked, “Matthew, my brother-in-law, am I really going to be a father?"
Matthew's face darkened.
“You were."
“What? What do you mean?" The smile on Sheffield's face froze.
Matthew went straight to the point.
"My sister found out that she was pregnant after she came back from Flando.”
‘Oh, so Evelyn isn't pregnant now...‘ Still in a confused state,
Sheffield fell back on his seat, struggling to make sense of the situation. ‘Wait... Evelyn got pregnant after she came back from
Flando?' Coming back to his senses, he shouted, “Impossible! I clearly remember using protection that night!"
Matthew pulled a long face.
“Are you trying to say that my sister got pregnant with another man's child?"
