Try to Avoid Her

"Ugh, sister-in-law, I'm full. I can't drink tea anymore. Can we continue our tea time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" Theodor said while grinning, still trying his luck to avoid the topic.

Scarlett, "..."

"Why the rush, brother?" Scarlett chuckled. "Let's continue our conversation..." she said playfully. 

Theodor rolled his eyes in resignation. "Fine, what do you want to know?" he muttered, feeling defeated. It seemed he could no longer avoid her confrontation.

Scarlett didn't rush to respond; instead, she took a deliberate sip of her tea, savoring the moment. After delicately placing the cup back on the table, she leaned forward, cupping her hands together and fixing her gaze on Theodor. 

A faint smile played on her lips as she spoke, "Alright," she began, her voice tinged with curiosity. "...let's start with this; who informed you about my pregnancy?" Her piercing gaze locked onto his.
