Chapter 0261
Ingrid was eating a slice of orange when Ingrid informed her of the prenatal class. She immediately refused, “Mrs. Johnson, I’ve been feeling unwell lately. With constant trips to the hospital, I just can’t handle any prenatal classes at the moment.”
She still remembered the grievances and criticism from the last tea tasting party. The thought of attending another gathering with tasks like flower arranging and tea tasting made her stomach turn.
Evelyn was so furious that her gut felt like it was burning. Was Ingrid really being so bold as to refuse without even pretending to be interested?
“It’s non–negotiable. You have to go.” Before she could say more, Ingrid hung up.
Evelyn stared at her phone in disbelief and thought, “How dare she hang up on me?”
Even before the baby was born, Ingrid was already so audacious. What would happen if she actually had a son? Evelyn shuddered at the thought.
Then, she told Gary, “Deliver the course
dule to Ingrid in person. Tell her that if she refuses to attend,
she and the baby will be kicked out of Hael’s mansion. Also, let her know that we won’t acknowledge her baby.”
He returned later, at 9:00 pm.
Evelyn asked, “What did she say?”
Gary replied, “Ms. York said she’ll attend the classes.”
“Well, at least she’s being sensible,” she said.
The next morning. Ingrid was jolted awake by her phone ringing. She squinted, groggily grabbing her phone and putting it to her ear.
“Who is it?” she grumbled.
“Is this Ms. York? Hello, I’m the instructor from Starborn Prenatal Wellness Studio. Our assistant should have sent you the schedule last night. The first class is dessert making at 8:00 am. It’s now 7:25 am, Can you make it here in 35 minutes?”
After introducing themselves and hearing her groggy voice, the caller added, “Mrs. Johnson wants us to inform her immediately if you miss any classes. She’ll come by in person to drag you here.”
Ingrid recalled Gary’s stern words from the previous night and begrudgingly got out of bed.
As she ate breakfast, she checked her phone and saw several unread messages from the so–called assistant with the class schedule. After downloading the document, she nearly spat out her milk.
The schedule was packed from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm. Classes included fashion, social etiquette, desserts, and jewelry appreciation, with barely any breaks.
Every part of her resisted the idea of attending. But after considering Evelyn’s warning and her current comfortable life, she decided she had no choice but to go.
