Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 350

Shelly’s eyes widened visibly, but before she could say anything else, Gideon stopped her from speaking as his countenance shifted. “Mom, this is not the time to talk about this.”

Upon hearing that, Shelly could feel herself trembling while she took in the sight of the crowd who seemed eager for a show. She was already feeling dizzy because of the overwhelming situation. Kris Stark, that b*tch! She lied to us! The two-month-old child doesn’t even belong to Gideon, but another scoundrel!

She wished she could abort the baby right then and there. Fortunately, we got to know this early on! That b*tch has been hiding the truth from us. Is she waiting for us to take on the baby as our own? If that really happened, then the Walton Family would be raising someone else’s child!

The mere thought of it was enough to rile Shelly up. “Gideon, the Waltons will not invest in the Green Palms Project that the Starks are working on! You have to listen to me this time!” Shelly yelled. How dare Kris do this to us when we tried to help her?

“Mom, I know what to do even if you don’t tell me.” Gideon wore a grim look on his face. Luckily, we didn’t invite the press, or else the scandal would have exploded! So many things had happened when the Waltons had literally just returned to Bradfort City!

Even though they didn’t say it out loud, the crowd had surmised what was going on. Judging from Shelly’s morose look and how Mr. Walton had cut her short, they deduced that the baby Kris carried didn’t belong to the Waltons. Such a scandal would be the talk of the town for some time.

By that point, the atmosphere at the banquet had reached a low. After a while, the guests dispersed. Elliot and the rest also left the scene. Before that, he made it a point to signal Tony with a look. Tony seemed rather unfazed, as if everything that happened just now had nothing to do with him.

On the other hand, Shawn and Estelle stayed back. He was planning to bring Estelle back to Hart Residence that night. Since Myra was with them, he figured he should take the opportunity to have Myra help soothe Estelle’s relationship with his grandfather.

For some reason, both Estelle and Sebastian would fight to the bitter end as soon as they saw each other. No matter what they did, it was as if they were constantly competing against each other, which gave Shawn a headache. To make things even more complicated, Estelle didn’t only have a wild streak, but she was also extremely independent, so she would never agree to marry Shawn if he couldn’t get his grandfather to agree on their marriage.

“Are you two the ones behind what happened just now?” Because they were headed to the same destination, Estelle dragged Shawn into the car that Tony and Myra were in. She even forcefully dragged Myra to the back seat while kicking Shawn to the passenger seat.

Initially, Tony wore a sour look upon noticing what Estelle did. Although he tried to object to it, Myra effortlessly appeased him by giving him a kiss. Nonetheless, he still couldn’t help but stare at Shawn, who was seated beside him in Myra’s stead, with disdain.

As soon as they settled into their seats in the car, Estelle began questioning the two men sitting at the front. Tony was driving, so he could only glance at Myra while arching his brow in silence. In contrast, Shawn spoke up. “Do you think we can actually impregnate Kris?”

Both Myra and Estelle were rendered speechless by his response. Myra suddenly had the urge to laugh, whereas Estelle was slightly annoyed by Shawn’s words. “Who knows? Someone might just feel like f*cking Miss Kris Stark, considering how beautiful she is! Doesn’t she have a lot of suitors in Bradfort City? If someone had his eyes on her, he would of course bring her back so that he could take his time f*cking—”

Estelle deliberately drawled when she said that last word, but before she could finish her sentence, Shawn reached out to hold her hand while still seated in the front. With a look of resignation, he stated, “I don’t think Tony will allow you to remain in his car if you keep this up.”

Upon hearing that, Estelle turned to check on Tony, who was still driving. Sure enough, his expression was so dark that Estelle could only mumble sheepishly, “We’re all adults, so what’s wrong with saying f*ck? With your age, are you still going to pretend to be innocent teenagers?”

“Estelle…” In resignation, Myra turned to look at Tony. “Have you known since the beginning that Kris is pregnant?”
