The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 819

It seemed Lucille had just discovered that Sabrina was still in Port Capital.

But that was none of my business. While she was distracted by her call, I turned and left with Ferris.

As our car passed by, I saw her scowling deeply, lecturing whoever was on the other end with a frantic, ugly expression. I waved goodbye, but she didn't even notice.

I didn't bother asking Ferris to stop the car. We just drove right past her.

Ferris couldn't help but ask, "Honey, are you still holding a grudge against Lucille?"

"No," I lied.

Ferris pressed on. "Honestly, about that purse..."

The word "purse" was a massive trigger for me right now. The mere mention of it made my skin crawl, so I firmly cut him off. "Hubby, I really want some watermelon. Let's stop at the grocery store."

"Alright," Ferris agreed, immediately dropping the topic as we sped away from The Sterling Estate.

As we drove off, I glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Lucille still yelling into her phone, that limited-edition exotic leather Hermes bag still draped over her arm.

It made me sick to look at.

I didn't see Lucille for a long time after that. She called me several times, but I always brushed her off, claiming I was too busy with work and wedding preparations.

Since Ferris had intervened to lighten my workload, my pregnancy was no longer a secret at the hospital.

Amber was the first to congratulate me. "Selena, so you actually have a little baby in there! Does that mean she'll call me Auntie? I don't care, I'm going to be her favorite Auntie! You have to promise me I get to be her first Auntie!"
