Chapter 617

It was Harvey who answered the door, but he appeared annoyed. "Ithought you weren't coming." “I was delayed," Irene said flatly.

Harvey stood aside to let her in. "Come in."

Irene stood at the doorway, glancing inside warily, and she only enteredafter seeing someone else inside.

Harvey closed the door and asked, "What are you worried about? ThatI'd do something to you?”

"Have you ever succeeded?" Irene asked.

Harvey was speechless-he had to give it to her, she was certainlycunning.

Since the subject was not to his advantage, he changed it. "This is mywife, Heather."

The woman on the couch had the baby in her arms and she greetedIrene politely. “Hello. Harvey told me a friend is visiting, and that wouldbe you, right? Pleased to meet you,".

Having no idea what Harvey was actually up to, Irene politely smiled inreturn. "Likewise."

Harvey walked up and put an arm on Heather's shoulder, watchingIrene as he said, "We're supposed to be friends, but she skipped out onour wedding. It upsets me greatly!"

“I can't travel far," Irene explained.

"Really?" Harvey studied her from head to toe just then, and sooncame to realize. "Oh, right-you were in labor. So, where's your child?When's the christening?"

Irene scowled, her glare turning sharp just then. "I have a questionabout that. You haven't been married for two months, have you? Butwhen was that child born?"

Harvey remained unperturbed, and clapped Heatheron the shoulder."You tell her."

“I've been with Harvey for a while," Heather said then. "But this was ashotgun wedding.”

It made perfect senses, but Irene doubted it. "Really?"

"What, don't you believe her?" Harvey asked.

"No," Irene replied shortly. “My baby is missing, and I think youabducted him."

Heather was actually surprised and she turned toward Harvey, "Youabducted her child?"

Harvey shot her a glare. "No."

Then, he calmly smiled at Irene. "So, you suspect me? Do you haveany proof?"

“I don't, but if you didn't do it, care to let me perform a paternity test onthat baby?" Irene asked.

"When you have no proof? Are you kidding me?" Harvey sat downbeside Heather then. "Why did your baby go missing, though? Maybeyou sinned so much that even the gods are upset with you?"

Irene held his gaze. "I apologize if I upset you in any way-but don't takeit out on my son."

Harvey simply smiled at her silently, giving her the creeps!

"Look-"

She paused, suddenly picking up a scent in the air that she would havemissed if she was not paying attention.

She knew from experience that it was from a certain incapacitatingdrug.

What? Was this why Harvey lured her here?!

Furious, she snapped, "You're hopeless, Harvey. Don't forget that I'm adoctor-a cheap trick like this won't get me!"

To think that he would resort to such a dirty move!

Harvey was actually puzzled. "What's got your goat?"

While he was left confused, Irene said nothing and stormed out of thedoor, leaving him even more mystified!

He was just about to follow her and ask, but his son suddenly burst intotears.

He turned around to check on the baby.

In reality, however, it was Heather who pinched the baby and made himcry when Harvey was about to leave.

She just wanted him to stay, but that would prove to be an error injudgment!
