Sorry Too Late (by J.J. Twelve) novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209 Pushed to the Edge

Roxanne was stunned.

Hazel was just as shaken.

The banquet had been arranged with such solemn grandeur that they had both assumed Evan was about to apologize.

Instead, Stefan had publicly announced that Hazel and Evan were preparing to have a baby.

The shock was overwhelming.

What made it even more unbelievable was that Roxanne and Hazel spent time together almost every day,

yet she had never heard a word about this.

Hazel had never mentioned it once.

Roxanne suddenly felt her throat go dry. Her head spun, and when she looked at Hazel, her vision almost

seemed to blur.

“Hazel, this isn’t true, is it? You and Evan are actually trying for a baby?”

She simply couldn’t believe it. She pressed the question again, even her tone turning a little sharp.

“… …”

But Hazel didn’t deny it right away.

Instead, she looked flustered and hesitant. She even avoided Roxanne’s eyes, guilt written all over her

face.

That alone was enough to show that something was wrong.

Hazel felt as if she might faint at any moment.

Because she had already discussed this with her parents before, she couldn’t flatly deny it now.

But she had never imagined they would announce it so openly, and in front of so many relatives and friends.

They had practically thrown her onto a blazing fire.

Now there was no way for her to back down.

She understood it perfectly well–her parents had set this up deliberately, forcing her into a corner so she would have no choice but to agree.

Stefan’s bombshell announcement left the whole hall in stunned silence.

Every relative from the Solberg family, along with the guests from the Leighton family and the Golden family, stared at Hazel and Evan in stunned disbelief.

Roxanne was starting to grow impatient.

Maybe it was just her imagination, but she felt like there was even a trace of confusion in Evan’s eyes.

As if he had no idea what was going on.

Hazel also found it a little strange.

Why was Evan just standing there?

But how could they know?

Evan really knew nothing about this.

He didn’t even know why Stefan had asked him to come.

At that moment, Stefan stepped onto the stage and began to speak.

“First of all, I’m very glad that all our relatives and friends could come to this banquet hosted by the

Solberg family! I have an important announcement to make.

“From today onward, my daughter and Evan will begin preparing to have a child. As for those rumors that the two of them have divorced, that is complete nonsense. Evan will always be my son–in–law. Let everyone here be clear about that!”

The words hit like a thunderclap.

Everyone in the room felt as if lightning had just exploded over their heads.

Roxanne’s eyes widened as she stared at Hazel in disbelief.

“Hazel… you…”

“Yes. Evan and I are preparing to have a baby.”

In a situation like this, Hazel could only go along with it.

The moment she said it, someone from the Solberg family suddenly shouted in excitement.

Then the entire Solberg side erupted into thunderous cheers.

“You two should’ve started trying ages ago! We’ve been waiting for you to add another member to the Solberg family!”

“Stefan, congratulations! You’re about to become a grandfather!”

The Solberg family burst into laughter and celebration.

Over on the Golden family and Leighton family side, people also clapped politely, but most of them were sighing in quiet amazement.

“I have to say, this kid really is lucky. Not only did he dodge another disaster, but he even got the girl in

the end…”

Graham glanced at Evan from across the room.

Evan stood quietly in the center of the banquet hall, strangely out of place amid the roaring celebration

around him.

Everyone knew that during the past three years, although Evan and Hazel were husband and wife, their marriage had never truly been consummated.

As long as Zeke was around, the three heiresses would never take things further with Evan.

Yet under the pressure of so many outside forces, the two of them had somehow ended up together after all.

“They’re already planning for a baby. That means his place in the Solberg family is basically set in stone now. Mr. Solomon won’t be able to touch him.”

Sadie’s eyes carried a hint of regret.

From the Leighton family’s perspective, she would have loved to see Cain cause trouble for Evan.

After all, three years ago, Roxanne had stolen their life–saving drug just to save him.

Because of him, the Leighton family lost their most talented young medical genius.

Their family had been declining ever since.

At that moment, Anya returned.

Seeing the guests applauding and offering congratulations, she immediately understood what had happened.

“Where did you run off to just now? You missed something huge,” Roxanne said, walking over with a look

of dissatisfaction.

“Huh? Oh… my stomach was hurting earlier,” Anya replied with an awkward laugh, brushing it off.

But inside, she thought anxiously, ‘Zeke… hurry. Right now, you’re the only one who can stop this.‘

Earlier, when she called Zeke, this was exactly what she had told him about.

First, she felt Zeke had a right to know.

Second, she and Roxanne had no way of stopping it themselves, so the only option had been to contact

him.

When Anya called, Zeke had been inside the Leighton Estate’s apothecary, sorting through medicinal

herbs.

He smashed everything in sight.

“Evan!”

He roared Evan’s name at the top of his lungs.

In truth, the moment Anya told him that Hazel and Evan were preparing to have a baby, he had already started losing control.

He was furious.

Of the three young heiresses, Hazel was the one he valued the most.

A long time ago, he had already begun to see her as his woman, as something that belonged to him

alone.
