No one gossiped about Meredith’s pregnancy.


    Neither Terrence Sterling nor Meredith mentioned it to anyone from Ravenwood, and Ste had just found out.


    Ste was shocked, and a bit at a loss. She didn’t like Meredith, but the child Meredith was carrying was of the Sterling family bloodline. She could disown Meredith, but not her own grandchild. Ste’s reaction surprised Azure. How could even Ste be unaware of Meredith’s pregnancy? Meredith, calm and collected, took a bite of an orange and said lightly, “Yes, I’m pregnant.”


    Ste frowned deeply, biting her back teeth, “Your belly is certainly proving itself, hasn’t it been a short while, and you’re already pregnant?”


    Meredith smirked, deliberately provoking, “If we have to discuss this, then your son must beplimented. Good seed, seeded on the first try.”


    “Shameless,” Ste blushed with embarrassment. Meredithughed, “What’s there to be embarrassed about? You’ve been through this, haven’t you?”


    Ste, staring at Meredith’s belly, asked, “How long have you been pregnant? Have you had a checkup? What did the doctor say?”


    Azure, noticing Ste’s concern for Meredith’s pregnancy, had a bad feeling. Even if Ste disliked Meredith, the sight of the child might soften her stance. Meredith retorted, “Why? You are nothing to me, my personal affairs are naturally none of your business, but if you really want to know, I would like to charge a consultation fee, $1, 000 per question.”


    “You…” Ste red at Meredith, “Your true naturees out, doesn’t it? You’re just after our family’s money, thinking you can manipte us with your pregnancy, but I’m telling you it’s not possible. I don’t care about the child in your belly.”


    Meredith touched her belly, “Of course, it’s not your child. Whether you care or not, I don’t mind. You guys talk, I’m going to check on my restaurant.” Saying this, Meredith left them hanging and walked out the door.


    “You… what kind of attitude is this?” Ste was so angry she pointed at Meredith, “No manners.” After Meredith left, Ste angrily pped the table, “She thinks she’s so great because she’s pregnant, who cares?”


    Azure silently watched Ste and asked, “Now that Meredith is pregnant, what do you n to do?” Ste blurted out, “I don’t acknowledge her as my daughter-inw, but I have to acknowledge her child. Azure, no matter what you do to make my son divorce Meredith, you must not harm the child, if anything happens to the child, I won’t forgive you.”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Indeed, she intended to keep the child and kick Meredith away. Ste said in front of Meredith that she didn’t care for her grandchild, but what grandmother truly wouldn’t care for her grandchild? After all, it was Terrence Sterling’s first child.


    Hearing this, Azure sneered, “How do you n not to forgive me? You want to repeat your old tricks?” Ste was startled, feeling uneasy under Azure’s gaze, “I’ve given you the chance, whether you take it is up to you. Don’t think I owe you anything, I don’t owe you, I’ve alreadypensated you.” With these words, Ste walked away. She disliked Meredith and disliked Azure even more. In the past, she had someone rape Azure, but she hadpensated with money. She didn’t feel she owed Azure anything. Azure watched Ste’s retreating figure, clenching his fists, a trace of hatred flickering in his eyes.


    Terrence Sterling, having gone to Meriton, had not received any response from Meredith despite sending several messages.


    “Meredith, don’t believe anything Azure says.”


    “Meredith, don’t be mad. I have my reason for allowing Azure move in.”


    “Meredith…”


    “My dear…”


    All of Terrence Sterling’s messages went unanswered. Meredith saw each one, but chose not to respond, ignoring them. She was sleeping on the sofa in the office of her restaurant; she couldn’t sleep at home, so she slept there. She slept from morning till afternoon without waking.


    Reese, worried, opened the door and entered, “Meredith? What’s wrong?”


    Meredith woke up, propping herself up, “Reese, what time is it?”


    “It’s after five in the afternoon,” Reese replied, “Guests have started to arrive at the restaurant.” “I’ve slept for so long,” Meredith muttered to herself, checking her phone, noticing many messages and missed calls from Terrence Sterling. From thest message, it was clear that Terrence Sterling was desperate.
