Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 253

Afraid that Jabez would feel bad if he saw Willow's bruised face, Charlotte strategically aimed for places that would be easily hidden by clothes. Her stomach was the perfect target—soft and easy to hit.

She pinned both of Willow's hands down with one hand, while her other hand viciously twisted the skin on her stomach a full three-hundred-and-sixty degrees.

"Jabez..."

Jabez reached out, shoved Yvette aside, and strode quickly toward Willow.

Yvette hadn't expected the sudden physical force. She stumbled, nearly crashing to the floor.

Charlotte immediately jumped off to support her, glaring furiously at Jabez. "Jabez, how could you push Yvette? She..."

Yvette tugged sharply at her arm. Charlotte realized she had almost let the pregnancy slip and bit her tongue.

"What's wrong with her?" Jabez cast them a dismissive glance.

"You're a grown man, and you just shoved a woman? That's pathetic," Charlotte pivoted flawlessly.

Having successfully covered up her near-slip, she let out a massive sigh of relief in her head.

Urgent footsteps echoed down the hall.

Milton and Trent hurried over after getting the news.

With her cheek swollen, Willow was too embarrassed to be seen and quickly hid behind Jabez.

Hearing the commotion, Yvette looked over. Catching sight of Willow hiding like a victim, her eyes shifted to Milton, showing little emotion.

Milton's gaze landed on her. His breath caught for a fraction of a second before he recovered his composure.

"How is Sybil?" Trent asked anxiously.

Milton's eyes shifted to Jabez, his dark brows pulling into a tight frown.

He and Trent used to cause a lot of trouble when they were kids. Whenever they messed up, they'd run to Sybil's house, and she would have the kitchen whip up snacks for them.
