The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 707

"What on earth!"

Belinda cried out, her heart hammering against her ribs as she leaned down to retrieve the bottle.

"I apologize, ma'am," the driver said. "It's Adelina."

Belinda clutched the bottle and looked out the window to see Adelina standing right outside.

"Mrs. James, I have something incredibly important to tell you!" Adelina shouted through the glass. "Just give me ten minutes—no, five minutes. Please?"

Her voice was muffled through the glass.

Belinda frowned, a wave of exhaustion washing over her. "Ignore her. Drive."

The driver was more than willing. Adelina and her mother had ambushed their car entirely too many times recently.

But with Adelina planting herself firmly in the way, the car couldn't move.

"What do you think you're doing?"

Belinda finally rolled the window down a fraction. "We have absolutely nothing left to discuss."

Terrified that she would drive off, Adelina gripped the window frame tightly. "It's about Catherine—"

"I don't want to hear it!" Belinda snapped, looking thoroughly disgusted. "Get your hands off my car."

"It's not just about Catherine, it's about the baby!" Adelina tugged at the door handle. "There are too many people around here. Let me in the car to explain, please?"

At the mention of Lanny, Belinda's dismissive attitude faltered. "What about Lanny?"

"Are you sure you want me to announce it right here?" Adelina challenged.

The entrance to the gated community was bustling with residents coming and going.

Belinda hesitated for a few agonizing seconds before nodding at the driver. "Unlock the doors. Let her in."

The locks clicked, and Adelina practically dove into the backseat, terrified Belinda would change her mind.
