Chapter 56: Chapter 56

Marie scolded Ashley in a sharp voice and strict tone. She has feared that Ashley will again try to harm Sarah or anybody and violate the law. Grandmother can't let it be happening.

"Grandmother....." Ashley said in a daze was startled by her grandmother's voice.

"I told you before, stop thinking about wrong ways to get to your destination. You need to work hard to gain Ronald's trust like before. Forget it if he is not coming for your so-called party of the six-month anniversary, wait patiently next month will be festival and new year, he will definitely come back home."

"Still, if it will be a problem in your life, I will force Sebastian to talk to your patents in-laws, don't worry, your grandmother is always there for you. Rest assured you will get what you deserve."

Ashley's anger hasn't subsided by grandmother's long speech, but she came out of the daze and yell back at grandmother, "Stop it, grandmother, all these boring old ideas of yours. We girls don't need to impress family to get husband's love, only if I could be with him I would have to win his trust and love long back by myself as I did back in the past."

"Then why are you not with her?"

Ashely forgot her mistake in her anger, it was her own mistake that she missed the chance to be with Ronald. No, it was not her mistake; she was fooled by Sarah and Stefan.

"It was all because of Sarah. She laid a smart trap to fool me."

Ashley convinced herself first that it wasn't her mistake then pursuing her grandmother, but she wasn't stupid like her.

"Sarah wasn't smart. You are a fool. Only when if you are not after her to pull her down, you wouldn't be fooled by her."

Marie has an experienced gaze; she knows exactly that it was Ashley's fault and no need to entertain her false self-conscious statement that she is not wrong.

"Sometimes it's not bad to confess that you were wrong, your ways were wrong to deal with your problem....."

"Alright, I was wrong, but what is next?"

Ashley irritably cut off Marie's words and said a confessing word like favoring the listener with million dollars.

Marie sighed at her granddaughter's incompetent behavior, who is still retorting stubbornly.

However, she doesn't want to be softened with her granddaughter no matter how much she loves her, still supporting navigating her.

"The next is same as before, wait more patiently, lest I will pursue Sebastian to talk to your parents-in-law."

"This is the last time I am listening to your advice, if this will not work, then don't ever try to stop me in the future. I will do what I wanted to do and nobody can stop me, did you get it?"

Ashley said furiously and hung up the call after listening to grandmother yell for her few times.

Grandmother hung up the call helplessly, seeing her granddaughter too wayward.

"Let grandmother say whatever she wanted to say, I will do as per my wish." Ashley blabber to herself with an evil face.

The next morning when everybody just settled at the dining table for breakfast a servant came with an envelope in his hand, "Master Stefan, there is a courier for Mrs. Sarah."

"Send me....."

Stefan took the white envelope from the servant and froze to see the content of the envelope.

His reaction just over a letter pulled everybody's attention towards him.

"What's that, Stefan?" Amy asked.

Stefan still didn't answer Amy then Sarah noticed the envelope in his hand is having the seal of the hospital they visit yesterday, then it must be her report.

"Stefan, this must be my report, what's the result?" Sarah asked excitingly.

When Sarah mentioned her reports, Amy and Julia were much more excited than her.

They both have alternative thoughts about the reason for her illness, and more than Sarah, they are eagerly waiting for the reports.

"Stefan, answer." Now Julia asked for the freeze on Stefan.

Stefan looked at everybody's faces, then at the reports, and sweat drops fell from his forehead on the report.

Jack shook his head at Stefan, stood from his chair, circled around the dining table, came in front of Stefan, and snatched the report from his hand.

"Wow, man what great news, congrats my brother," Jack said.

"What's good news?" Julia and Amy were more excited and asked in unison. They both are way looking for the grandchild and first next-generation heir of Walter's clan.

"Our family is going to have a new member soon; Stefan is going to be a father. Sarah is pregnant."

A wave of harmony hit the entire family. Everybody was joyous to know that Walter's family is going to get their first grandchild.

The happiness of elders has no bond, and youngsters are also circled by Sarah and Stefan.

"Elder sister, from now on we have to be more considerate of Sarah and her diet, isn't it?" Amy said.

"Of course, we will make a healthy diet plan for her and Stella. Ashley listens. From now on Sarah will not work at all. You both have to take care of everything. Did you hear me?"

Julia and Amy made their own plans to take good care of Sarah's belly, already dreaming for their grandson.

"Sure mom, I will take care of everything and Ashley is there to help me," Stella said.

"No, elder sister, first let's consult the gynecologist and follow the diet plan given by the doctor."

"No, Amy I don't trust on doctor's advice of these days, I still believe in old herbal therapies and natural methods, these medicines and all only make pregnancy complicated."

"But we need to consult the doctor first."

Amy and Julia tangled in an unnecessary argument over Stefan and Sarah's child without considering them.

Everybody is watching them in surprise, they both are looking funny to them.

"Hold on mom and big aunt, it's a waste of time for your argument, this is brother Stefan and Sarah's child, they have the right to decide what they want to do first."

Carol interrupts Julia and Amy, and finally, they all turned and look at Sarah and Stefan. Sarah has a soft and shy smile and Stefan has a blank face.

"Stefan, Sarah whom do you want to follow me or elder sister?" Amy not only asked, but placed two options in front of them.

"As per Stefan's wish, I don't mind," Sarah said shyly and looked at Stefan. As Sarah mentioned Stefan's name, everybody looked at him.

"Stefan, answer."

"What should I answer mom, I am not getting how to react to this news. The truth is, I am not ready for any child yet." Stefan said straightforwardly.
