The phone rang again.
Evan glanced at the screen and immediately hung up.
But in that brief moment, Stella had already seen the name.
Summer.
She looked at his face, so refined it had made countless women fall for him.
The smile on her lips deepened.
“Still about Summer?”
At this point, even the word again felt too mild.
She used still.
Even sarcasm felt almost too weak for it now.
Evan reached out and gently touched her cheek. “It’s about my niece and nephew. It has nothing to do with her.”
“Isn’t it her babies too?”
“Stella…”
The hostility in her tone when it came to the child made him hesitate.
He wanted to say something, but in the end, all he said was, “You haven’t been in good shape lately. Stay home and rest. Don’t go out. I’ll find the best doctors to take care of you, okay?”
Stella looked at him. “What do you mean?”
“We’ll have a child,” Evan said.
Stella let out a soft laugh. “So not only do you believe I was never pregnant, now you also believe I can’t have children at all?”
Evan fell silent.
The room went quiet again.
He stared at her, his breathing tightening, something in his chest trembling.
“You…”
How did she know what the doctor had told him?
“You spoke to the doctor? What did she say to you?”
The doctor.
The one who had examined Stella this time.

Stella smiled faintly. “What else would she say? That someone paid her off. Told her to tell you I was never pregnant. Told her to say I’d never be able to have children in my life.’
Her tone was light, almost playful, as if it were half a joke.
Evan’s expression darkened.
Seeing that, Stella raised a brow. “What? You don’t believe me?”
He believed what the doctor had said.
But the idea that someone had bribed her?
That part, he could not accept.
Evan withdrew his hand from her face and stood up.
Now towering over her, his eyes were filled with a kind of helplessness, buried under a layer of cold
restraint.
Stella looked at him and smiled, utterly unconcerned.
“Go on,” she said lazily. “The baby’s mother looks like she’s on the verge of dying every other day. If you get there too late this time, maybe the baby won’t even have half a life left.”
“Stella!”.
That was it.
The moment she spoke like that about the child, Evan snapped.
“That’s a newborn baby!”
Stella smiled faintly. “Then I wish the baby a long life.”
Evan went silent.
The way she spoke…
Forget it.
If he listened any longer, he would lose his mind.
In the end, he turned and walked out, furious.
Just before leaving, he stopped and looked back at her.
“I’ll take care of things with Felix. You’re not leaving the house anytime soon.”
“Patrick will be here soon. Everything will be transferred back into your name. And whatever you’ve set in motion needs to stop.”
He emphasized that last part heavily.
Then, without waiting for her response, he slammed the door and left.
Marianne stepped forward. “Ma’am, would you like something for dinner?”
“No.”
Stella would not eat here.
She had said it before.
From now on, she would not touch a single bite of food from the Evans family. And she meant it.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
“I’ll see who it is,” Marianne said.
Stella nodded.
Mrs. Watson went to the door and checked the screen. “Ma’am, it’s Alex from Mrs. Bailey’s side.”
Stella’s eyes flickered.-
Someone from Ruby’s side?
“Let him in.”
If he had come all the way here now, then it seemed Ruby… had finally reached her limit.
