Chapter 1909


    However, Ste figured that Darcie might consider giving in if she made that promise.


    Sure enough, Darcie’s expression softened upon hearing what Ste said.


    Then, she pursed her lips and said, “Ste, I don’t have anything against Sonia joining ourpany,


    but we are a well-established organization. Your father and I can’t just decide everything on our own


    without considering the feelings of our stakeholders. And, we have to coordinate with various


    departments. Back then, there was someone in ourpany who wanted his daughter to join us as an


    intern, but thepany rejected them. Now that we’ve put it out there, we must face it ourselves.


    We’re simply going to embarrass ourselves if we can’t follow the rules we made.


    “I feel really sad about what happened to Sonia’s father too. Your father is a sentimental person, and so


    are you. At this point, I’d seem like a heartless person if I were to refuse any further. However, let me


    be clear. You can bring her in, but if anything goes wrong, you have to bear the full responsibility. I’m


    not going to allow any exceptions anymore.”


    Darcie sounded very generous as if she had no personal motives at all.


    Wenham frowned. He wanted to say something, but Trevor nudged him with a light kick.


    Ste smiled. “Darcie, you’re really cautious when ites to thepany. But, I understand it


    because you’re just trying to protect my mother’s hard work.”


    Darcie was taken aback, and she said after a brief pause,” That’s good.”


    After Jaylene was scolded, she ran upstairs and refused toe down when the food was ready.


    Darcie had to go up and bring herdown personally.


    Darcie’s expression was not pleasant, and Jaylene’s eyes were red. It seemed she was scolded by


    Darcie upstairs.


    With her parents and brother always siding with her, she had always been doted on. That was probably


    the first time she got scolded like that.


    Ste thought about it and felt as though she had a really strong heart. Back in the Jewell family, no


    matter how many times Albert made things difficult for her because of Sophia, she never shed a tear in


    front of others.


    Yet, today, Jaylene felt so sad with just a couple of harsh words from Wenham.


    Ste might have felt a bit guilty for intruding into this family and taking away the affection Jaylene had


    found sce in.


    However, as soon as she remembered that Darcie might be the reason why she was separated from


    her birth family, her guilt immediately went away.


    Jaylene did not eat much, but Ste had a very good appetite.


    Trevor was very thoughtful and specifically instructed the maid to prepare dishes that were suitable for


    her during pregnancy.


    Ste used to experience severe pregnancy reactions such as vomiting whatever she ate, but they


    went away after New Year’s. However, her preferences had changed slightly, and she started eating


    more things that she did not like.


    Of course, she would not admit that she wanted to eat them herself and shifted the me to the little


    one inside of her.


    After finishing the meal, Ste went outside, nning to take a walk in the yard for better digestion.


    Wenham called Keegan and Trevor to the study room because the twopanies were working on a


    project together, and there were work-rted matters to discuss.

    Ste strolled through the yard, eventually settling down on a garden bench and casually plucking the


    weeds around her.


    She heard footsteps approaching from behind and then said in a t tone, “Jaylene, you should be


    inside taking care of your beloved Keegan. Why are you here?”
