Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 532

...he still would have been emotionally blackmailed by Kael saving his life! He probably would have felt obligated to protect Faye forever, and that woman would have intentionally stirred up trouble every other day. Just the thought of it makes me sick."

Stella nodded, agreeing that having a woman constantly gunning for her husband would have been incredibly annoying.

"Regardless, Sabrina, thank you. You were the one who comforted me and gave me advice when I was hurting."

She had packed her bags and intended to stay at Sabrina's place, but Julius had dragged her right back home that very night.

She hadn't even managed to stay over, and her clothes were still at Sabrina's apartment.

"Why are you thanking me? We're friends, aren't we?"

"Yeah, we are."

If Sabrina and Jason ended up together, they might even become family.

Stella truly hoped Sabrina and Jason would work out, but she wouldn't push her. If it happened, great; if not, that was fine too. You couldn't force matters of the heart.

"By the way, you have to keep my hypnosis a secret for me."

"I know, you didn't even need to ask. I won't say a word." She was never one to gossip anyway.

Just as they finished talking, Lisa came out to call them for dinner.

The two women linked arms and headed back to the dining room.

At the table, Nadine brought up the topic of Jason and Sabrina's potential marriage.

"Sabrina, you and Jason were classmates, so we all know each other well. You've been seeing each other for a while now. When do you think our families should meet to make this official?"

Her biggest wish right now was for her eldest grandson to have a child, and for her youngest grandson to get married as soon as possible.

Trying to appease her, Jason put food on Sabrina's plate too.

As soon as dinner was over, he was going to find an excuse to bolt.

Nadine took a few bites before speaking up again. "And as for you two, Julius and Stella, when are you planning to hold your wedding? The date we originally picked got delayed, so we need to get it back on the schedule."

"Grandma, we'll talk it over and let you know the details once we've decided."

He had just earned Stella's forgiveness, and the mess in South Africa was still unresolved. Now wasn't the right time to plan a wedding.

But he promised himself he would give Stella the grandest wedding imaginable.

"Good, good, talk it over soon. It's been too long since our family had a joyous occasion to celebrate. The Crane family hosted a full-moon party for their great-grandson a couple of days ago, and I was just green with envy."
