Niamh heard sounds, so she looked back and saw
Shirley. She then gave Shirley a friendly smile. “Hello, Miss Brown.”
Shirley sighed ruefully when she heard Niamh addressing her that way.
If Niamh were normal, she would never call Shirley that.
Shirley smiled. She then boldly met Niamh’s clear and smart eyes.
“Eveline, do you really have no impression of me?”
Niamh looked at Shirley seriously, and then said, “Of course, you are Carter’s friend.”
“No, I’m not just his friend.”
Not just his friend.
After hearing Shirley’s words, Niamh stayed silent for two seconds. She then said doubtfully, “Do you mean…”
“ I had a romantic relationship with him, and I was pregnant with his child, ” Shirley said bluntly, boldly looking into Niamh’s eyes.
She observed a flash of surprise in Niamh’s eyes. She knew that Niamh might not believe what she said, but Shirley continued.
“Since I had committed too many sins with him, that was why… there was no way for that child to come into this world.”
When she said this, Shirley’s eyes turned red against her volition.
Whenever Shirley thought about that child, she would still have a clear and bone-etching pain.
Niamh frowned as she quietly listened and thought.
Her groom-to-be had such a relationship with the woman in front of her.
Niamh thought silently, but she did not feel disappointed at all.
After a while, Niamh spoke. Her voice was feeble, and there was even a smile on her gentle and beautiful face.
“Miss Brown, did you come here just to tell me this?”
Shirley recollected her thoughts after hearing that.
She also chuckled slightly when she saw that Niamh was faintly smiling at her.
“Eveline, do you know? Right now, your consciousness is no longer your own. Your thoughts are currently under Carter’s complete control because he has hypnotized you.”
Shirley looked regretfully and helplessly at Niamh’s calm face.
“I actually can give it a try. But I know that you won’t believe what I say now.”
“Well, you’re wrong, ” Niamh said and smiled slightly.
Shirley was stunned when she heard this answer. She looked at Niamh in confusion, “What did you say?”
“What I want to say is that I believe you.”
“Y—You believe what I said?” Shirley was very surprised. She had never expected that Niamh would believe her.
Was this real?
She was somewhat uncertain, and then she heard Niamh speak again, “You just said you can give it a try. What do you want to try?”
Upon hearing this, Shirley came back to her senses.
She glanced vigilantly behind her. Once she had confirmed that no one was coming, she approached Niamh, raised her eyes to meet Niamh’s gaze, and then whispered…
Niamh seemed to hesitate after hearing Shirley’s words.
Shirley felt a little nervous when she saw Niamh’s hesitation.
“Eveline, are you really willing to believe me?”
Niamh looked at Shirley’s expectant eyes and said nothing.
Shirley’s heart sank. She felt that Niamh was just messing with her.
How could a hypnotized person have her own thoughts?
However, Shirley wanted to try again. She wanted to try to convince Niamh to believe her, but at this moment, Shirley heard the familiar footsteps approaching her from behind.
“Carter, ” Niamh called out softly behind Shirley. Shirley frowned slightly. Carter was indeed here.
As soon as Carter got out of the study, he saw this scene on the balcony. He walked over quickly because he wanted to know what Shirley was saying to Niamh.
He knew that Shirley would keep going against him. Although he had hypnotized Niamh, he did not want anything unexpected to happen.
He could not let Shirley tell Niamh about the hypnosis.
“Eveline, are you chatting with my friend?” Carter approached with a gentle smile and called Shirley his friend.
Shirley raised her eyes and looked at him calmly. She then turned the direction of the wheelchair around and left without saying a word.
With a faint smile on his handsome face, Carter looked as if he did not care, but his eyes were staring at Shirley’s back.
“Miss Brown seems to be in a bad mood,” Niamh said, breaking the silence.
Carter silently retracted his gaze. “What did you guys talk about just now?”
Niamh lifted her clear and alluring eyes to meet Carter’s deep eyes. “ It’s nothing. Miss Brown was here to give us her blessings, but she also said something hypnosis, and I didn’t understand what it meant.”
“Hypnosis?” Carter repeated that word, looking a little confused, then smiled. “I think she might have wanted to tell you that I know hypnosis.”
“Do you? Why don’t I have any impression of that a t all?” Niamh raised her hand and lightly tapped her temple.
“Eveline, are you feeling unwell?” Carter asked with concern.
Niamh frowned. “I’m a little dizzy. I want to rest for a while.”
Carter glanced at his watch. “We’ll be having a light meal with my family at the hotel in the evening.
There’s still some time now, so you should go back to the room and rest for a while. I’ll take care of tomorrow’s wedding.”
“Okay.” Niamh nodded and headed back to her room without speaking further.
As Niamh left, Carter’s attention seemed to be focused on Niamh’s figure for a while, and his sharp eyebrows gradually knitted together as he thought.
He went straight to Shirley’s room and domineeringly pushed the door open.
Shirley, who seemed to know he was coming, gave him a calm look.
“ If you want to say anything, just spit it out. I’m going to rest,” Shirley said coldly.
Carter walked up to her. Even though he was somewhat unhappy, his expression and tone were still calm in front of Shirley.
“ I’m doing this so that I could successfully get the royal inheritance. I’m not only doing this for me but also for you.”
“Heh.” Shirley laughed sarcastically and her contemptuous eyes glanced across Carter’s face.
“Do you think I’d believe what you said? Do you think it’s credible? Carter, you only love yourself.”
“I know who I love, ” Carter emphasized Shirley looked away. “You’re done talking. You can go now.”
“I’m not finished.” Carter bent slightly and brought his handsome face before Shirley’s. “You can continue to hate me, but at this time, I don’t want you to say something to Eveline that you shouldn’t say.”
Shirley did not even bat an eyelid upon hearing that. “Are you done now?”
“Shirley.”
“If you are done, leave. I don’t want to see you.”
There was some reluctance in Carter’s eyes, but Shirley did not even look at him.
Carter could only leave.
After hearing the door closed, Shirley raised her head and stared blankly at the direction Carter had left. She stayed there silently for a long time, and for a long time, she did not return to her senses.
Knock, Knock, Knock.
After some time, Shirley heard someone knocking on the door.
Normally, the servants and Carter would come inside directly, so Shirley did not know who would be knocking on the door so politely.
