Chapter 117 Thank You for Liking Me
It was past eleven o’clock at night. Cynthia fell asleep very early because of her pregnancy. Alston hugged her and was about to kiss her little face when someone was slapping the bedroom door loudly. His face turned dark, subconsciously covering Cynthia’s ears.
Cynthia just fell asleep not long ago. Her sleep was light, so she was woken up. She opened her eyes in a daze. “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Alston controlled the anger and said softly, “You lie down. I’ll go and have a look!”
It was late at night. Everyone in the Smith’s house knew Cynthia was pregnant and slept lightly. As long as she was asleep, no one dared to go up to the second floor except for Stella!
Alston opened the door with a dark face. Outside, Stella raised her hand and was to continue. She
immediately stopped when she saw Alston.
“Why do you knock on the door in the middle of the night? Don’t you know Cynthia is pregnant and needs
enough sleep?”
Alston hated Stella to the extreme. Ever since he knew she had drugged Cynthia, he lost the last ounce of
affection for her. He kept her in the Smith family for her family’s sake. If she dared to endanger Cynthia, he
would drive her out.
He had to drive Stella away even if it would ruin his reputation.
Stella was in a rage and couldn’t see the deep meaning in Alston’s eyes at all. Cynthia was not out, so she
immediately shouted, “Where is Cynthia? Get her out! I’ve never seen a narrow-minded person like her. She
doesn’t have the slightest tolerance for others and even drove away my man!”
Alston knew that she probably had known that Molly had left, and she thought it was Cynthia who drove him
away.
“I drove her away.” Alston coldly interrupted her cursing.
Stella was stunned, with her voice stuck in her throat, and she looked at Alston in surprise. “It was you?
Impossible!”
She knew that Alston never wasted time on such trivial matters. Cynthia must have felt Molly’s threat and
driven her away while she was not at home..
“Don’t defend Cynthia. I know she doesn’t like me and the one I brought home. But Molly was here to take care of me. I didn’t ask Cynthia to pay a penny. Why did she drive away my man?”
Then Cynthia came over in soft pajamas and stood beside Alston, looking small. She asked softly, “Alston, is she a punisher now?”
“Why did you come out? I can take care of it!” Alston touched her finger and was relieved to feel it was warm.
Looking at them showing affection as if no one else was around, Stella got angry. With a ferocious face, she rushed towards Cynthia, trying to grab her by the shoulder.
Cynthia took two steps back. Alston was quick to push Stella out of the room.
Stella fell back a few steps to stabilize her figure and looked at Alston in disbelief. “You. I’m your mother, and
you pushed me for this b*tch!*
Alston stared at Stella with a warning in his eyes. “What did you call her?”
Stella pursed her lips. Even though she was dissatisfied, she didn’t dare to say that word again.
“Just talk. Keep your hands to yourself. If you dare to hurt Cynthia and the child in her belly, I will never let
you go!”
Stella’s eyes were red with anger, but she stood obediently outside the door, only staring at Cynthia fiercely
with her eyes. “Why did you do that? You make me embarrassed to drive away the one I brought. I’m still alive.
You are so anxious to be the hostess of the Smith family. Now you dare to drive away the person I hired. Are
you going to drive me away next time!”
Hearing her hoarse questioning, Cynthia was stunned for a second, then sneered. “Yes. If you weren’t Alston’s
biological mother, I would have kicked you out a long time ago.”
“You finally said what was in your heart.” Looking at Alston, Stella was angry but laughed and said, “This is
your good wife. She actually wants to drive me away. She has no filial piety at all as a daughter-in-law. She
would get drowned in ancient times.”
“Get drowned?” Cynthia’s eyes were cold. She pushed Alston away, walked up to Stella, and stared at her.
