Make another plan
What was she going to do now was the thought that filled Irene's mind all night. She couldn't believe that Karl was about to slip off her fingers. And to think of the person he was choosing over her even made her feel worse in the situation. To her, Isime was a low-life girl she picked from the slump. So how could she now be the girl Karl was choosing over her? Irene hissed when she remembered what Kelvin had told her earlier about Irene being pregnant. "Could she be pregnant?" Irene frowned her brows. She hates to think of the possibility of Isime truly pregnant. "I need to find out if Isime is pregnant," Irene thought as she moved aimlessly around the room. She took her phone and ran her finger through it.
She thought of calling Isime but paused; the two of them had fallen out after Karl's graduation party, and if she called, Isime would act smug. 'I have to find out if she is pregnant. That slut, thief, " Irene cursed in a low voice.
" Isime, I would deal with you, " Irene made up her mind.
At that moment, she remembered that Henry had contacted her a while ago. She ignored him because she knew he wanted to use her against Karl. She wanted to marry Karl. How could she join forces with him, but if she could not have him, what would be the point of protecting him when another woman would be the one to enjoy the benefits?
"no, that wouldn't do," Irene shook her head. She decided to give Henry a call, but at that moment, she remembered that she was still at Kevin's place and her plans might be exposed.
She looked at the table clock; it was already a few minutes after seven." I need to leave and make arrangements," Irene threw her phone on the bed, hurried to the bathroom, and freshened up.
When she was done dressing up, she picked up her handbag and walked downstairs, at that moment, she met Karl and Kevin sitting at the dinner table.
" Irene, " Karl called out in surprise. "stupid," Irene cursed in her heart. She had forgotten that Karl was in the house; she would not have come out until he was gone. "Hey Karl, you are awake". Irene tried to compose herself despite how angry she felt. "yes. I didn't know you slept here. Karl said and turned to look at kelvin. Kelvin had not mentioned her since he woke up. Karl felt lost, looking at his friend as if to get answers.
" Irene accompanied you to drink last night, she got a bit drunk, and I could not get to her driver since there was an extra room; I just let her use it," Kevin said. He knew he could not expose Irene's plans, he loved her, and he could never do something that would make her too angry.
" oh, " Karl looked away; when Irene saw his carefree attitude, she was angry. Kelvin saying he could not get to her driver was a lousy excuse, but Karl believing it did not make him a fool; it only proves that he does not care about things concerning her.
"come join us; I made enough soup for a hangover, * Kevin said. Irene wanted to reject and leave but thinking of her chances to leave with Karl, she walked over to the table.
Kevin was happy when he saw this reaction; he immediately helped her with the soup. Karl noticed how eager his friend was serving Irene; he wondered how close the two have become. But he still pushed the thought out of his mind.
Kevin was the host; it was only natural that he served the guest.
Irene took a small sip and then looked at Karl; Kevin was not happy to see this. He suddenly realised why she had decided to eat breakfast with them.
"Are you leaving soon? I still can't reach my driver," Irene said. Since Kevin already lied, she could follow it through.
Karl did not want to leave with her, but he also wanted to leave after breakfast.
He wanted to see Isime and talk about her pregnancy. Actually, he was hoping that by going that morning, he would be able to run into her cousin and confirm the strange attraction he had towards her. So he could only answer her question truthfully. "yes, but I am going towards Ave gate," Kevin said, he knew that Irene's house was in the opposite direction. This way, she would not be able to follow him.
"Perfect, I will go with you. I have a friend that lives at Ave's gate. I have been planning to visit her," Irene said. Of course, the friend she was talking about was Isime. She wanted to go along with Karl and investigate things for herself.
When Karl heard this, he felt he had shut himself on foot, he revealed his location so as not to drop her off; he did not expect that she would suddenly want to visit a friend. But no matter how unwilling he was feeling, he could only nod his head.
Kelvin, who was ignored, felt his heartache, he had been trying his best to show Irene how much he loved her, but she was throwing herself at a man who would not take a proper look at her.
The table fell into an awkward silence; after breakfast, Irene left with Karl, in the car; she tried to get more information about Isime's pregnancy.
"So, do you plan to keep the baby?" Irene asked. She knew that Kelvin could not lie to her.
"What?" Karl was surprised that she knew about the pregnancy. He could remember that he had only mentioned it to Kelvin the previous night.
"ahh! My bad," Irene pretended to slap her mouth. "Isime and I used to be close friends, although in the past few months, we are no longer close, but it' is easy for me to find out about her," Irene explained. The reason why she did not bring up Kelvin was that she did not want to expose the secret affair between the two of them.
" I have no plans to hurt my flesh and blood as long as Isime is willing, " Karl replied. But, no matter what it was with Isime's cousin, Karl felt that he should be responsible for his actions.
When Irene heard this declaration, she wanted to kill Isime. She made up her mind to call Henry the moment she stepped down from the car. If she couldn't have Karl, there was no way she would allow a low life like Isime to snatch him. She knew for a fact that Isime must have deliberately got pregnant to tie Karl to herself.
