Eleven Years All to the Wrong Man novel Chapter 137

“Why?”

Evan’s brow tightened at Mrs. Alvarez’s request.

He was still reeling from the joyful shock of becoming a father and couldn’t understand the need for secrecy.

Mrs. Alvarez looked troubled. “Because... because the day she found out, she asked me to keep it a secret. She... she might not be ready to tell you the news just yet.”

“Not ready?”

Evan frowned. “How did she react when she found out? Was she happy?”

“Oh, of course! She cares a lot about the little one. Normally, if she doesn’t have an appetite for dinner, she’ll just skip it. But ever since she found out she was pregnant, even if she’s not hungry, she forces herself to eat something.”

Thinking about it, Mrs. Alvarez was quite moved. It was clear to her that Mrs. Cooper was very happy and serious about the pregnancy.

Knowing that Emma cared about the baby too put Evan’s mind at ease. He agreed softly, “Alright, I understand. I’ll pretend I don’t know.”

With Evan’s promise, Mrs. Alvarez nodded and hurried into the kitchen, returning with a tureen of freshly made soup.

“Sir, you should go up and see her. She didn’t eat any dinner. I just made this soup, perhaps you could take it up to her.”

Mrs. Alvarez felt that some things were best left for the couple to resolve on their own.

Evan smiled at Mrs. Alvarez, took the soup from her, and turned to head upstairs.

He had walked up these stairs countless times, but this time was different. With every step, he felt his heart pound more furiously in his chest.

The closer he got to the master bedroom door, the more intense the beating became.
