Chapter 97
Stella really wanted to splash her drink on Bella’s face. To be honest, three years of marriage without kids was nothing special. The fact that Dahlia went all over the place for a doctor to force her into having a boy was revolting. Dahlia made it a widely known piece of news. Apparently, people would not say anything about it. However, they would gossip that she could not have children behind the scenes. This was why even though they were married for many years, people still shoved girls into Keegan.
Everyone began to inquire as soon as Bella raised her head. Evidently, they weren’t concerned about Stella’s pregnancy. Since everyone knew that she could not get pregnant, all they wanted to know was if there was a joke to laugh about.
Bella wanted to enrage Stella and make her lose her temper out of embarrassment. However. Cordelia was most concerned about the Kane family’s reputation. ‘Would Cordelia protect Stella if she lost her temper on such an occasion and brought shame to the Kane family? If Cordelia rejected her, how long could Stella stay in the Kane family?‘ Bella was expecting things to play out this way.
Unexpectedly, Stella was not provoked. She even smiled at the crowd and said, “We will tell it when the time comes. Some things would be jinxed if said in advance.”
The crowd was stunned at her seemingly response to the pregnancy. After all, there was indeed a tradition to keep unstable pregnancy a secret during the first three months. Keegan was sipping tea not far away. He could hear what Stella said, but he did not express his opinion about it. This led the crowd to confirm Stella’s pregnancy.
The jokes turned into congratulations, and Bella turned green with anger, as Stella became the center of attention. Bella pretended to congratulate Stella with the crowd. “Congratulations to Mrs. Kane. You finally got what you wanted. I really can’t tell when you’re wearing high heels and makeup.”
