Chapter 300


    ra turned just in time to catch Heidi eying her midsection with poorly concealed scheming in her


    gaze. Her expression remained cool andposed, betraying not a hint of panic. With a subtle


    arch of her brow and a faint smirk ying on her lips, ra said, “Rest easy. If I ever do get


    knocked up, you’ll be the first to know. I’d hate to rob you of the opportunity to give up hope since


    that’s clearly the best way to get under your skin.”


    Heidi clenched her teeth in fury. “Oh please, ra, get over yourself. Remember, you and Ian are


    over. Make sure your words aren’t just empty promises, and don’t you daree crawling back.


    After all, you’re the reason Leonora took a hundredshes. If you even think of returning, she’ll


    never let you off the hook.”


    With biting sarcasm, ra retorted, “Even if I stay away, do you seriously think Ian would settle for


    you? He can''t even stand wearing a shirt that someone else has touched. What makes you think


    he’d want a woman who’s been with someone else?”


    Her words pierced Heidi like thorns to the heart. With fists clenched tight, she spat, “Even if I can’t


    have him, I’ll make damn sure you won’t either!” Then, Heidi stormed off.


    ra, unfazed by the encounter, continued shopping for baby items and picked out a cute little


    pajama set for De.


    However, no sooner had she left than Heidi circled back to the boutique. “My sister was here earlier,


    and she really liked the baby clothes. She wants another set,” Heidi lied to the clerk.


    Beaming, the clerk suggested, “Your sister chose a pink one before. How about I grab a clean white


    set for you? It’d look cute on the baby.”


    Heidi’s tense heart finally eased when she noted the age range on thebel. Stepping out of the


    boutique, Heidi dialed a number. “Aunt Leonora, I don''t think ra’s pregnant. She was buying


    clothes for Roger’s daughter.”


    On the other end, Leonoray in bed, sweating from the pain of her wounds. She gritted her teeth.


    “That’s a relief. Otherwise, my suffering would have been for nothing.”


    Heidi’s voice wavered with a sob, “I know it''s all been for me, but even though Ian''s done with ra,


    he still won’t look my way.”


    A flicker of sympathy crossed Leonora’s eyes. Softly, she consoled, “Don’t worry, dear. I have a n


    to get you be his wife. Patience is key, alright?”


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    “I understand, thank you.” Though Heidi sounded pitiful, a glint of triumph shone in her eyes.


    Clinging to Leonora’s coattails was her ticket to securing a future with Ian.


    Meanwhile, ra finished her shopping and headed straight to Christy’s ce. De pped her


    tiny hands in delight upon seeing ra arriveden with bags.


    Christy met her with a smile. “I told you not to buy more. She’s already got more clothes than she


    can wear.”


    ra, cradling De, nted a kiss on her forehead. “It’s the New Year. As her godmother, I must


    spoil my little angel with a pretty dress.”


    “You’re onevish godmother. Between the jewels and clothes, you might just spoil her rotten.”


    De was attracted to the vibrant color and gazed at the gifts with widened eyes, beaming at ra.


    Christy shook her head, saying, “ra, she’s closest to you. I swear, the minute you have your own


    little one, she’s going to be so jealous.”
