The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 814

But Wynne was also deeply worried about Winona's health.

She remembered how difficult the pregnancy had been, with Winona needing weekly injections. She had watched it all happen with an aching heart. Only a mother could truly empathize with her daughter's physical toll. A mother-in-law would just view a woman's suffering as the price of admission.

Winona understood her mother's fears. "I know my own limits, Mom," she said gently. "Once the ADC project is over, I'm going to take a long break. If it happens, it happens, and we'll welcome it."

She genuinely loved kids and cherished every moment with Audrey.

Of course, it also helped that Audrey saved all her most exhausting, mischievous behavior for Stefan. Whenever she was with Winona, she was an absolute angel. That contrast alone was why Winona wasn't afraid of having another.

After work, Winona stopped by a boutique toy store. She pulled up a photo on her phone and asked the clerk if they had it in stock.

Whenever Winona took Audrey to visit Nikita, the older woman loved scrolling through social media with the baby on her lap. If Audrey pointed at a toy on the screen and looked even remotely interested, Nikita would immediately screenshot it and send it to Winona, demanding she buy it for her great-granddaughter.

While the clerk went to check the back room, Winona browsed the displays, examining both Barbie dolls and toy sports cars.

She never restricted what Audrey played with; whether it was marketed for boys or girls, if Audrey liked it, she got it.

That was when she noticed Tallulah Shipley standing a few feet away.

They hadn't seen each other in a long time.

Though Winona occasionally heard updates. After Tallulah returned from overseas, she took the Locke family to court. To ensure the Locke family stayed in chaos, Stefan had secretly hired a top-tier lawyer to assist her.

Against all odds, Tallulah had actually won the lawsuit.
