Pregnant With Ex's Babies novel Chapter 396

396 First is really talking nonsense with a straight face.

First and Second were taken aback by her question.

While First was pondering how to respond, Tara’s gaze was fixed intently on them.

“You know Shadow Walker, and you’re quite familiar with him, right?” Tara asked.

“Why do you ask?” First replied.

“Well, it’s obvious. Everyone knows Shadow Walker never meddles in other people’s business. Yet, the message he sent me seemed very concerned about you two, so you must know him well.”

Uh…

First hadn’t expected Scarlett to message Tara.

It was clear that Scarlett was truly worried.

But at least it meant Scarlett was okay for now.

First secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, seeing Tara’s face about to change color, First’s mind raced, trying to think of an explanation.

When he finally thought of something, he maintained a calm demeanor and said, “Yeah, we know him. Why, didn’t you

know?”

“How would I know if you don’t tell me?” Tara’s eyebrows shot up, her voice rising several decibels. “You know my mission here is about him, yet you’re playing dumb with me? First!”

“Adler, how many times have you promised me not to keep secrets or lie to me? And yet, here we are again!”

Seeing Tara’s frustration, First tried to calm her down, “Don’t get worked up!”

“You think saying ‘calm down‘ will make me calm?”

First sighed, speaking slowly, “Everyone knows I know her, but just because I know her doesn’t mean I know where she

is!”

“You’re just making excuses!”

“I’m being honest. Besides, Kun knows her too. Why aren’t you mad at him?” First asked.

“1…”

“Kun was the one who introduced us in the first place. How come you didn’t know that? You even called me that night!” First explained, tossing the details back at her.

Tara blinked, her long lashes fluttering, “What do you mean?”

“Remember last time? Kun set up a challenge between me and Shadow Walker, Everyone in the hacker community knows about it. While we were competing, Scarlett showed up, and I had a chat with her. Didn’t I tell you about that?” First asked.

“So you’re saying you met her last time?” Tara asked, feeling like she was hitting a soft wall, her words losing their

strength.

Beside him, Second couldn’t help but lower his gaze, thinking how First could spout nonsense with such a straight face! The problem was, Tara actually seemed to be taken in by First’s innocent expression.

“Then, then…” Tara stammered, unsure of what to say, “If you just met last time, why does Shadow Walker care so much about you? How did she know you were here?” she asked.

“That’s something you should ask Shadow Walker!” First replied, glancing at Tara before continuing, “But if I had to guess, maybe it’s a mutual respect between two top–tier individuals? After our last encounter, things did become a bit… complicated. So, if she ever needs anything, I’d do the same for her!”

His reasoning and excuses seemed solid enough.

After finishing, First nodded to himself as if to confirm, “Yep, that’s it.”

Tara listened, her brows furrowing.

It sounded reasonable enough.

But she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off, though she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

Looking at First, she asked, “Then how did he know we were in the Middle East?”

“Maybe I let it slip during a chat with him? I can’t really remember,” First said. “But even if he knows, it’s not surprising. Think about it, who is Shadow Walker? The top hacker, practically everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Knowing this would be a piece of cake for her, right?” First asked.

Second was silent, “…”

First was spinning tales effortlessly, and not only that, but he also managed to slip in some praise for Scarlett Adler. His flattery was so effective it could be heard echoing in the room.

Meanwhile, Tara seemed almost convinced by First’s words, judging by her expression.

Second tried hard to suppress his urge to laugh, focusing on his food instead. This conversation had nothing to do with him, and when Tara eventually learned the truth, she wouldn’t blame him.

Tara paused for a while, unable to find any faults, and looked at First. “Well… it doesn’t seem wrong.”

“Because that’s the truth!” First exclaimed, looking at her with a falsely accused expression. “You just jumped to conclusions without any proof. I’m still a kid, you know. You might scare me like this…”

Tara was at a loss for words, “I…”

“Alright, alright, it

No need to apologize, I forgive you,” First said.

Tara studied him, then gave a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes, “Do you really think you look like a kid? Like a baby? Let me tell you, First, if I find out you’re pulling my leg again, you’ll know the consequences!”

First sighed, “Another threat…”

“This time it’s not a threat, it’s a warning!” Tara replied.

First thought for a moment, then pushed the fruit in front of her, “Alright, alright, let’s drop it. Eat some fruit; it’s good for

your skin!”
