“Jennifer…”
“Be good. I’m going to my parents‘ house now.”
At first, Leon had planned to take Jennifer with him.
But when he thought about the reaction waiting for them there, he changed his mind.
Jennifer was already sensitive about everything.
If she saw or heard anything unpleasant, she would only pull further away.
In the end, Jennifer nodded under Leon’s insistence.
“Okay.”
“That’s my girl.”
Leon pinched her cheek and smiled.
Once he had calmed Jennifer down, he headed straight to the Redson house.
Before leaving, he told the housekeeper to prepare something suitable for Jennifer at lunch.
The moment Leon left, Jennifer called Stella.
Stella seemed busy. She did not answer until the phone was about to stop ringing.
“Did you go through with it?”
Stella asked before Jennifer could say a word.
Jennifer went quiet.
The blunt question made her chest tighten.
She had already been feeling weighed down over the pregnancy.
Now she felt even worse.
Leon had said he would handle everything.
But Jennifer knew…
Nothing about this would be easy to handle.
“Not yet.”
“Not yet?”
“Yeah. Not yet.”

“Lucas ran into me yesterday and followed me around after that. This morning, I went to the hospital. They had already given me the medication, and then Leon showed up and took me out of there.”
“They’d already given you the medication when Leon got there?”
And it still had not happened?
Leon really did want this baby.
If he had not cared and had only been having fun with Jennifer, then he would not have stopped her.
But he had made it in time.
He had stopped it.
Jennifer let out a breath.
“Yeah. Do you think this is going to make everything even more difficult for me?”
Stella went quiet.
Difficult?
Of course it would be.
Stella took a breath.
“It is going to complicate things.”
Jennifer said nothing.
“The Redson family doesn’t seem like the kind of family that would compromise just because there’s a baby.”
Especially after what Dora had taught Stella.
Even if she had somehow stayed with Evan in the end, what would it have changed?
The baby she had lost later looked like it had been Summer’s doing.
But Dora had allowed it to happen.
Dora had never wanted Stella to have a child with the Wright family.
When a family did not want you, being pregnant was not necessarily a blessing.
“That’s why I don’t think Leon can really fix this.”
“Still, let him try,” Stella said. “Let him see his family’s attitude clearly for himself.”
Before, Stella had thought Leon might be different from Evan.

But now…
What difference would that make?
Families like theirs cared about status and background.
“Stella, I’m really scared.”
Stella fell silent.
“Scared of what?”
