Suddenly, she was talking on phone in chivalrous tone briefly explaining purpose of trip followed by a comment that she had kid only to have baby like you to the person on other side. She is married. I don't have any intention of eavesdropping and I always maintain a distance. Just talk hit my ears. She is very shrewd lady and I don't think she can talk like this when another ear is few feet away. I am confused. Is she trying to poke me.

 I would ignore it. It wasn't about work.
If she is talking about her private life in earshot of others then yeah, she wants you to hear it but also presumes that you will respect her privacy - which is ironic.
"She is very shrewd lady and I don't think she can talk like this when another ear is few feet away."
She can. But it's kinda unprofessional.
