Shirley's protruding belly necessitated loose clothing, a telltale sign that the baby was at least four or five months old. In Trevor's mind, the math left only one plausible option he was the father.

Tyrone had orchestrated Shirley and Trevor's liaison. Aware that Shirley didn't have a boyfriend then, Trevor was left questioning the paternity.

Shirley didn't know how to answer him. To distract him, Shirley falsely stated that the baby was only three months old, hoping to mislead him.

However, Trevor eyed her skeptically. "You got a boyfriend within a month after that? I don't buy it. I want to meet him!"

Speechless, Shirley grappled with the situation.

Despite Shirley's persistent denials, Trevor remained steadfast in his belief that the baby in her belly was his. His actions spoke louder than words as he regularly brought her breakfast and lunch.

Particularly lunch.

Trevor advised her that frequent takeout wasn't healthy for her or the baby and declared his intent to actively participate in raising the child since she chose to keep it.

Shirley was in a dilemma. While it was true that she had become pregnant that night, she was unable to reveal the truth and expose Tyrone, as doing so would lead to trouble for her.

Since Shirley couldn't confide in Trevor with the real story, she remained entangled with Trevor. That was why the situation was Like this.

With a sigh, Shirley powered up her computer and spent a few minutes at her desk. Glancing at the breakfast that Trevor had brought her, she picked it up and went to the tea room.

As she was about to leave after placing the food on the table, Trevor entered.

Shirley glanced at him and said, "You're just in time. Take the breakfast back. I've already eaten. Don't bring food for me anymore!"

“Shirley, how about we get married?" Trevor blurted out.

Shirley's eyes widened in shock as she asked, “What are you talking about?"

"It makes sense. We should get married so the child has both a father and a mother."

Meanwhile, Sergio stood in the corridor a short distance away, observing the two in the tea room. He overheard fragments of their conversation, causing him to frown, and his expression turned slightly cold.

It wasn't the first time he had witnessed them talking together in the tea room. He had believed that they were still involved in an intimate relationship and had chosen not to expose them. However, he hadn't anticipated that they would be getting married.

Recalling Shirley's statements during the interview, Sergio departed with a sneer in his eyes. He decided that it was time to address the situation.

Exasperated, Shirley said, “I've already told you the child isn't yours. Can you please stop bothering me?"
