The man handed a tissue to Sophia.

Just now, Sophia looked at him without restraint. Now, it was his turn to stare at Sophia.

Sophia’s mental fortitude wasn’t as strong. After being stared at for a while, she did not know where to put her gaze.

She covered her nose and felt a trace of despair. She simply said, “That’s right! I enjoyed it!”

A pervert, whatever! Anyway, she had already seen it!

The man was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that reaction from her. What was that? Was she teasing him?

He did not feel anything. Instead, her face turned bright red.

Although he did not want to admit it, he… was indeed charmed by her cuteness.

He calmly ended the topic, “Thank you.”

Even as Sophia returned to the living room and sat down on the couch, she remained in a trance.

Olivia said worriedly, “What’s wrong with you, Sophia? Your face is flushed? And your nose is bleeding!”

Sophia rubbed her temples and took a deep breath to calm herself down. She said vaguely, “I’m fine. Perhaps I haven’t been drinking much water.”

She wouldn’t admit to having a nosebleed after seeing a naked handsome guy. She had her dignity to keep.

As for that man, he should be a member of Anita’s family, as he used the swimming pool freely.

Anita had previously said that her father, Kevin Harris, had retired after his older brother Joseph took over the family’s jewelry business. For the past few years, both he and his wife, Annie, had been traveling around the world, and they would only come back once a year at Christmas.

Therefore, only three people occupied the house for the majority of the year, Anita, her eldest brother, Joseph, and her second brother, Sebastian.

Anita’s older brother, Joseph, was eight years older than her. He was a tall, steady, and very gentle person. Moreover, he had a girlfriend, and they were about to get married. Although Sophia had never seen him before, she was certain that the man in the pool wasn’t him.

The man looked very young, not at all like someone eight years older than Anita. Although he was tall, he seemed dangerous, a little vicious, something that scared Sophia a little.

He must be Anita’s mysterious second brother Sebastian.

No matter who he was or what his personality was, it was not a reason for Sophia to make such a shameful move in his home.

She needed to find the father of her child here now. If the owner of the house got angry and kicked her out in a fit of anger, it wouldn’t be great.

Anita returned to the living room with the drinks, coffee for Olivia and milk for Sophia.

“I consulted the chef, as there are certain food a pregnant woman should refrain from.”

Sophia thanked her.

Olivia took a sip of coffee and asked, “When will the three suspects arrive?”

Because the meeting place was at Anita’s home, Anita was the one who sent the invitation.

“Felix and Claude are already on their way. They should arrive in 20 minutes. Norman hasn’t departed yet, so he might be a little late.”

Sophia said helplessly, “This is rare. According to Norman’s character, he should still be on a date.”

Sophia’s guess was indeed correct. Norman had indeed told Anita that he was on a date.

Olivia put her hands together and prayed, “God bless! The father of the child can not be him!”

One of the three suspects was a playboy, and Sophia did not want the father of the child to be a playboy.

Anita asked, “What should we do when they arrive? Should we get straight to the point?”

Sophia shook her head and said, “You can’t do that. When I woke up the next day, that man had long left the room. It was possible he did it to me on his own free will. He could make up any lie to cover himself.”

Olivia agreed, “Yes, if he is a coward and doesn’t want to bear any responsibility, asking him directly will not get the result.”

“Then how should we go about it?”

Sophia thought for a moment and said, “Just tell him that he has a baby because of what happened a month ago. See how he reacts when he hears about it.”

“That’s good!”

Olivia said excitedly, “Aren’t we like the detectives in detective novels now? That’s so cool!”

The three girls laughed, loosening up the tense atmosphere.

“Let’s split the work. As Anita invited the boys, she should communicate with them and try to probe for some answers. I will not show myself as I am the victim here. If the suspect admits to what he did, I will then appear and talk to him. Olivia will be responsible for observing and recording the suspect’s reaction on the second floor. If the three of them don’t admit to it, we can only judge by their reactions..”
