Chapter 557
[ 572 words ]
He could definitely judged that Susanna wasn’t the type to be a mole. Something was not adding up.
Hearing what Stella said, Susanna asked, “Are you saying I’m being tricked?”
“Absolutely.”
“But why?”
Stella replied, “Because you’re gullible? He’s trying to trick you into bed.”
Ronald had mentioned Hull was into Susanna. All his actions spoke volumes then.
Susanna’s eyes widened in disbelief. That was ridiculous!
Sure, she looked comely, but she knew her place. She had nothing in her possession, nor was she exactly a supermodel, but the idea that Hull would go through all this trouble just to play her seemed far-fetched.
Before she could articulate her thoughts further, Stella’s voice was interrupted by Yvonne’s shouting in the background. “Star, I’m not done with that jerk, Xander!”
“I’ve got to go. Catch up tomorrow. Call me if you need anything, alright? I’ll come pick you up if necessary.”
With that, Stella ended the call, leaving Susanna to stew over her thoughts.
Was Hull really playing around? She shook her head, trying to dismiss the absurd notion.
…
Meanwhile, Stella was for a routine check-up. Just as things were wrapping up, Yvonne burst in, her temper flaring.
Lottie, who had been keeping Stella company, was returning from the restroom when the test result revealed-two red lines! An emergency ultrasound was promptly arranged.
Lottie’s face lit up with delight. “Oh my Star, you’re going to have a little one soon!”
Her happiness was short-lived as Yvonne’s dramatic entrance shifted the mood. Seeing Yvonne get closer, Lottie instinctively pulled Stella behind, shielding her.
“Yvonne, whatever beef you have with Xander, don’t bring it here. We don’t want any stress for our Star.”
Yvonne was taken aback. What? Stress?
“Wait, I…”
Lottie warned, “What about you? I’m telling you, try not to act agitated around Star, you don’t want to scare our Little Star.”
Yvonne uttered, “Little Star?”
Lottie replied, “Yep, come and check. Right here, that’s the little one.”
She pointed to a certain part of the sonogram, explaining Yvonne it was a baby.
Yvonne squinted at the image, utterly perplexed.
“That blob is Little Star?”
That was a baby? It was not like she hadn’t seen how a baby looked like.
Lottie answered, “Yes, it is, that’s how they start.”
“Really? But it doesn’t seem like one.”
“Oh, for heaven’s sake, it is a baby. This is how babies look in the womb!” Noticing her mother’s rising frustration, Yvonne pursed her lips. “If you say so.”
Lottie ignored her skepticism, too caught up in her excitement as she fixed her eyes on the report.
Yvonne, however, was on a mission of her own. “By the way, I’m marrying Xander.”
The room went silent instantly, both Lottie and Stella staring at her in shock.
Stella froze, gazing at Yvonne in astonishment. “You’re marrying Xander? When?”
“Tomorrow, if all goes according to plan. And then probably divorcing the next day.”
Stella and Lottie were left
speechless. What was she talking
about? The idea of planning a
wedding and a divorce in the same breath was confounding. swnovel.net
Yvonne elaborated, “Xander keeps pestering Star even though she’s pregnant. So I figure, if I tie him down with marriage, he won’t have time tobother her. If he still doesn’t behave himself even after the marriage, I’d resist divorcing him and tie him to me for life swnovel
Lottie and Stella both caught the drift, though her words were baffling.
Stella felt flabbergasted. “Yvonne, you don’t have to do that.”
She was trying to keep Xander away
from Stella even if it meant
sacrificing her own happiness. If she did that, wouldn’t she be bound by
than
kind of marriage as well? swnovel
