Chapter 80 Your Brother Will Feel Unhappy

“Look, I can’t sleep anymore since you arrived. Shall we have a chat for a bit?”

Eileen asked, “What does ‘shoot the breeze’ mean?”

Mary slapped her thigh. “Oh my, you don’t even know this! Let me explain. ‘Shoot the breeze means to have a conversation.”

Eileen nodded thoughtfully. “What would you like to talk about?”

Mary whispered, “When I went out earlier, I overheard something. Oh my, that scream was as intense as the rumors of secret affairs in our village. It was so thrilling. Mr. Swan, your father… he’s in great shape. I assure you, your father can still have children. You’ll have a little brother soon.”

Will had multiple relationships with quite a few women, but he would never abandon his own child. Even if there were any, he would make sure to handle it properly.

She took a short nap on the narrow bed. When she woke up, the sky outside had brightened.

Eileen carefully got out of bed, making sure not to disturb Mary. Wrapped in a blanket, she quietly closed the door and stepped outside.

It had snowed all night, and a thick layer had already accumulated outside. The cotton slippers had also been dried since last night.
