Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222

But she hadn’t.

At that moment, looking into her steady eyes, Evan clearly wavered.

Then, just as quickly, he remembered that her miscarriage had been real.

And if she hated Summer for that, it wouldn’t be impossible.

Stella looked at him and said, word by word, “Did I use the child to threaten you?”

Evan: “…”

“I didn’t. So if I really took the child, what exactly would I be keeping her for? To raise her?”

She let out a cold laugh.

“I’m not generous enough to raise Summer’s child. I wouldn’t raise her kid even if you paid me. I’d rather raise a dog.”

That was how deeply she despised Summer.

Even if the child was innocent, Stella still couldn’t bring herself to feel anything but disgust.

And hearing her say she’d rather raise a dog than Summer’s child made Evan’s heart pound even harder.

She wouldn’t raise Summer’s child, so if she really had taken the baby…

Evan stepped forward and grabbed her by both shoulders, locking eyes with her.

“That isn’t just Summer’s child. She’s also my brother Steven’s daughter.”

Stella said coldly, “So what? I hate them. They disgust me.”

Just because the child also belonged to Steven didn’t mean that changed how she felt.

Evan’s voice sharpened. “Then give the child back. Don’t drag them into this.”

At that moment, he was angry too.

And just like that, Stella went completely still.

She looked at him the way someone might look at a fool.

What was the point of explaining?

Over the past six months, she had already learned not to waste her breath trying to explain anything to him.

And yet, when it came to the child, she’d still instinctively tried to reason with him.

For what?

He hadn’t heard a word.

He had already decided she took the baby.

So what use was any of it?

When she didn’t speak, Evan’s grip on her shoulders tightened. “You think she harmed you before, but you never had proof either. Right?”

Stella: “”

What a line.

So in the end, she was just the vicious one, falsely accusing Summer.

Evan tried to keep his tone controlled. “If you don’t have proof, then even if you hate her, you still shouldn’t drag the child into it.”

A minute ago, he had threatened her with the police.

Now he had softened and was trying to reason with her.

Stella laughed softly. “And you don’t have proof that I took the child either. So what exactly are you doing right now, threatening me one minute and softening your tone the next?”

“The child was taken by someone from Eirden.”

His tone turned heavy, as if that alone settled it.

Stella looked at him. “Am I from Eirden?”

Evan: “.

“Or are you saying the person who took the child was the one who used to be with me?”

Evan: “…”

The air between them turned sharp and tense.

Stella jerked hard and threw his hands off her shoulders.

“Was it? Hmm?”

Was it?

No.

୮

The person in the footage was from Eirden, but it wasn’t the one who had been with Stella.

Then again… maybe not necessarily.

“The person in the footage was wearing a baseball cap. We could only tell he looked like he was from Eirden.”

Stella let out a cold laugh. “So you’re not even sure it was someone from my side. Then what exactly are you grilling me for?”

Evan snapped, “Who else would it be?”

Stella: “…”
