But I knew she was not as harmless as she appeared.
She looked innocent and weak, but her eyes gave away her shrewdness.
"The company has arranged me to have a physical exam," Maria replied.it
Although she was a foster daughter, she had got a job at Moore Group.
I couldn't help but cast a glance at her.
An idea hit me. I shouldn't underestimate this woman.
Our eyes met, and there was provocation in her gaze.
"Honey, it's our turn for the prenatal checkups," I addressed Hawkins.
I somehow felt uncomfortable with Maria's silent provocation.
I didn't want to admit defeat.
I noticed that Maria shook, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Is Claire pregnant?" she asked Hawkins, her voice on the break of tears.
After hesitating for a while, Hawkins put his arm around me. "Yes, I'm going to be a father," he replied.
Tears were veil up in her eyes. "Congratulations, Hawk," she said in between sobs.
If it weren't for Hawkins' presence, I would have applauded for Maria's act was impressive.
Hardly had we entered the elevator when I broke free from Hawkins' grip.
"Could you really bear to see your beloved heartbroken?" I asked, observing his expressions.
