Chapter 1645 Keep A Close Watch
âYouâve heard what your grandmother said just now. She knows that youâre here and said those words on purpose. Later, sheâs going to send the tea to your room. You should head on back now.â
Kyle was bereft of speech.
He understood that Sophia was trying to protect her great-grandchildren.
She had taken the news of the Zieglers to heart and was worried that the same thing would happen to Sally.
âOkay. Iâll head back first and come back after she has sent me the tea.â
âWhen will that be?â
âWhy? Youâre not willing to wait? If you donât wait for me, when will you get pregnant?â
âAll right. Iâll wait for you.â
After Kyle returned to his room, he kept waiting for Sophia to bring him the tea. However, after waiting for a long time, no one had come to his room.
Itâs already this late. Grandma, are you still planning to send me the tea or not?
Feeling impatient, he opened the door, planning to check on the situation in the kitchen. Just then, he saw Sophia walking toward him. Behind her was a maid holding a cup of tea.
Soon, they stopped in front of him.
âGrandma, what is this?â
âI specially prepared this tea for you. It has a relaxing effect and can calm your mind. Quickly finish it and go to bed.â
Without a choice, he took the cup and gulped the tea down before handing back the cup to the maid.
âGrandma, you should go back and rest.â
âItâs okay. Iâm not sleepy yet. Later, Iâll ask someone to place a table outside of Sallyâs room. Since I canât fall asleep, Iâll keep a close watch over her. If she needs me, Iâll always be there.â
Her words had rendered Kyle speechless.
In a flash, his expression darkened.
Grandma, youâre not keeping a close watch over her. Youâre just afraid that Iâll go to her room again.
âGrandma, you donât need to stay up all night. Iâm sure no one will disturb Sally, and nothing will happen to her.â
Sophia pouted. Thatâs not necessarily true. Who knows what will happen when Iâm not watching? I canât let you hurt my great-grandchild. Itâs important to take precautions!
âI know what Iâm doing. Since you need to work tomorrow, you should rest early.â
Left with no choice, Kyle nodded and returned to his room dolefully.
As soon as he finished taking a shower, his phone rang.
It was a message from Sally: When are you coming over?
Kyle: I wonât be going to your room tonight.
Sally: Why? You donât want me to get pregnant anymore?
Kyle: Of course I do.
Sally: Then come over now. She then sent an emoticon that was beckoning him over.
Kyle: I donât have the guts to do so. Thereâs a sheriff outside your room.
Furrowing her brows, Sally could not comprehend what he meant.
Thus, she jumped out of bed and opened the door slightly. Just as she glanced outside the door, she happened to meet Sophiaâs eyes.
Startled, she slammed the door shut. At that instant, she could feel her heart miss a beat.
Holy cow. Sheâs standing guard outside my room in the middle of the night? I know sheâs valiant, but Iâd have never imagined her doing something like this.
After calming down, she let out a long sigh. If this goes on, I wonât have the chance to get pregnant. Why is it so difficult to get pregnant secretly?
Lying on the bed, she sent another message to Kyle: What should we do? If she keeps doing this, we wonât have a chance.
Kyle: There has to be a way. For now, we can only wait and see.
Sally: Ugh! Itâs so hard to get pregnant!
Kyle: Well, this is the price you have to pay for telling lies.
Sally: What do you mean?
Kyle: If you hadnât lied, Grandma wouldnât think that you were pregnant, and she wouldnât do this to protect her great-grandchild. Ergo, this is your fault!
Sally was at a loss for words. Moments later, she replied: Fine. Whatever. Iâm going to sleep!
Throwing her phone aside, she rolled around on the bed but could not fall asleep. I shouldnât have lied.
