Chapter 110
“Neil should be here too, I mentioned again.
Stella was so furious her face turned red “Absolutely“” she snapped “After your divorce with Neil, she was afraid of being gossiped about back home, so she chose to study abroad. This way, she could not only study but also avoid all the chit–chat.”
“Neil even came with her. That’s true love, Barbara sighed.
It’s rare that he, being so busy, could squeeze out time to accompany Bonnie overseas for her studies.
Stella sneered, “There are so many countries in the world, why did she have to choose here? Did she hire someone to track you down, found out you’re in Caladonia, and purposefully came here to make you uncomfortable?”
I don’t know, but I don’t think Bonnie has the capability to do that.
Although Caladonia wasn’t big, finding my exact location wasn’t easy.
If you ask me whether Neil could have found out my location, I could believe that. But he’s already divorced me, why would he still track me?
While talking, we arrived at the restaurant
Seeing Stella still angry, I quickly comforted her, “Don’t get worked–up. Let’s eat first.”
Stella nodded in agreement, but after a few bites, she put down her fork. She kept looking at her phone and typing fast.
After a while, she told me angrily. “Turns out it was Neil who suggested Bonnie come here for studies!”
“Hmm?” I was enjoying my meal, but after hearing her words, I was puzzled, “Why?”
“How would I know?” Stella’s eyes were flashing with anger, “Bonnie initially wanted to go to another country for studies, but under Neil’s influence, she chose here. Is Neil doing this on purpose to piss you off?”
Neil may have a bad temper, but he wouldn’t do something so low. At least he wouldn’t let Bonnie suffer.
But I suddenly understood why Bonnie looked surprised when she heard I was working here at the supermarket.
She must have thought that Neil let her study here because of me.
“Stella, where did you hear this from?” Barbara asked curiously.
…A friend! I have lots of friends, you know that, right? Stella stuttered.
She indeed has the most friends among us. She met a lot of people at the bar.
I put a piece of chicken on her plate, “Our spy has worked hard. Eat more.”
Stella put the chicken in her mouth, but spit it out the next second, and then made a “ugh” sound.
Barbara and I exchanged glances: Is it that bad?
“Why is the food here so weird?” Stella wiped her mouth with a napkin, frowning.
“I think it’s quite tasty Do you have a stomach problem?” I asked.
Stella pressed her stomach, “Seems like it. Recently, I feel all food tastes bland and I even don’t want to drink. Now I only like sour and sweet fruits.”
Barbara’s eyes widened, “Oh my god, Stella, are you pregnant? This sounds like my previous pregnancy symptoms!”
I was also shocked, looking at Stella with disbelief, “Did your period come on time this month?”
Unlike me who is fragile, Stella has a strong body. Even if she drank a lot, her period was still more punctual than her credit card bill.
Stella looked very guilty. “No way? I didn’t sleep with anyone, just drank with them…”
“Really?” I was skeptical
“…Only one guy!” Stella suddenly seemed to make up her mind, her voice raised, “If I’m really pregnant, the child can only be of his. If he doesn’t take responsibility. I’ll make him regret it!”
Barbara and I were shocked, “What?”
Does she want to marry that man?
But this thought doesn’t seem to fit Stella’s personality.
Before we could react, Stella started a video call. When I saw the man on her screen, I suddenly understood why she knew so much about Neil and Bonnie recently
It was Mitch, that ‘mole“, who told her…
“I might be pregnant! What are you gonna do about it?” Stella dropped a bomb right off the bat.
Mitch fell into a profound silence
I leaned in to look. His innocent face was filled with shock, confusion, and foolishness.
“Did
you test?” He managed to ask after a long while.
“My period is more precise than your house clock! It’s been almost two months and I haven’t had it. I also have poor appetite and feel nauseous. If I’m not pregnant, am I dying?” Stella showed her toughness, “You go tell your parents. If they dare to look down on me for being promiscuous, I’ll print out your records of going to a hotel and give one to each of your family members!”
After saying that, Stella hung up the video call without waiting for Mitch’s reply
At that moment, I could feel she was also very panicked and scared inside
Mitch is a playboy and is two to three years younger than her. What if he doesn’t take responsibility?
The child is in the woman’s belly after all. Whether giving birth or having an abortion, both are harmful to a woman’s body.
Even though Stella is very open–minded, she would be scared about this.
“Don’t worry, you can buy a pregnancy test later, or go to the hospital for a check. “I patted Stella’s back.
“I’m not worried. If he doesn’t take responsibility, I’ll make him regret it! Stella gritted her teeth.
Barbara understood her feelings the most. She quickly said, “Don’t worry Even if he’s dead, we’ll help you take care of the child!”
Mitch was “sentenced to death by us just like that.
We didn’t have the appetite to continue eating. I drove Stella and Barbara home and bought a few pregnancy tests on the way. As soon as we got home, I let Stella go to the bathroom to test
Three minutes later, she came out and showed us the pregnancy test. The two lines were very clear.
“Maybe we can test it again tomorrow morning. They say morning urine gives the most accurate results.” Barbara suggested, not knowing what Stella was feeling.
“True. Pregnancy tests aren’t always reliable,” I said.
Stella let out a sigh, grabbed her phone, and snapped a picture of the pregnancy test, then shot it over to Mitch.
To my surprise, she even blasted the picture to her folks and the group chat with Iva and Simmons.
“Can’t hide this kind of big news. Worst comes to worst, I’ll just live at your place for a few more days until they cool off, Stella said, as fearless as ever
I kept quiet, just pulled out my phone to look up what a pregnant woman should eat, drink, and how to better make sure of fetal development.
She’d missed her period for two months but only just found out she was pregnant today. That really left me shook.
