Bella nodded softly Then you have to get better really soon Daddy
Jessica s expression darkened as she looked at Bella Now that Bella had acknowledged her bond with Stanley the thought of this little obstacle standing between her and Stanley gave her a headache

Angela glanced at Jessica It s good you re here today There s something I need to tell you

Jessica was smart she knew exactly how to play the emotional card using Angela s friendship with Brittany to try to shut Angela down
But Angela stepped back gently pushing Jessica away The engagement between the Hawk and Larson families is off
Jessica stiffened What
Angela s voice was firm You heard it yourself Bella is the daughter Wendy had with Stanley Stanley loves Wendy They ve already registered their marriage today In my heart Wendy is my daughter in law
Shecontinued,”Asforyourmother,I’llspeaktoherpersonally.I’msureBrittanywon’tforcea lovelessmarriage.”

Wendy had won over everyone
“ButMrs.Angela,”Jessicaprotested, “StanleyandWendydidn’tactuallyregistertheirmarriagetoday!”
What?
Angela paused surprised and turned to Stanley Didn t you and Wendy goto the courthouse to register your marriage today
Stanley pressed his thin lips together I suddenly felt unwell and didn t make it there
Angela frowned What a strange coincidence that you got sick just as you and Wendy were about to register your marriage
Yes truly a strange coincidence
Stanley let out a cold laugh wondering the same thing himself
Bella s small voice piped up It s okay Daddy You just need to rest and get better Then you can goto the courthouse with Mommy and get married
Stanley kissed Bella on the forehead You re such a sweetheart
I ll stay here and take care of you Angela said
Stanleyshookhishead.”Noneed.YoushouldtakeBellabackhome.Mysecretaryisalreadyonthe way.”

If you stay here and Wendy sees you she ll definitely misunderstand I don t want you to make Wendy unhappy

Jessica was speechless She was furious Angela Had never treated Her this well before This was pure favoritism
Jessica looked at Stanley You want me to stay and take care of you right
Stanley paused for a few seconds then said Mom you take Bella and leave Let Jessica stay
Angela was stunned What
She wanted to argue but when she caught Bella s big round eyes looking up at her she swallowed her words
