226 CH 225: Eve? What? NOT PREGNANT?!

Mikael stiffened and took his time processing the statement. Because if he was right and the CEO was hinting that the latter knew about the double identity then…

… why would he reveal it now of all times? And to him? His eyes fell on Eve. She seemed deep in sleep to have heard. Ambryan was also asking him not to tell her about his knowledge. So this couldn't be a ruse to let her know indirectly.

"So you do know," Mikael finally replied, getting a headache from overthinking.

Ambryan bowed his head and smiled with his eyes closed. "Only recently."

That was all he said. Mikael found the answer unsatisfactory. How many days had passed since the family event? Was it a little over a week? Was he provoking Eve to confess back then? Or did he find out later? 

The non-stop questions were pure torture.

"So you're telling me not to let her know?" Mikael asked. He hoped it could keep the topic going.
