Chapter 63: Chapter 63
"Stefan, Sarah, it's so good to see you both together like before," Amy said and moved towards them.
Amy held Sarah's hand and helped her to sit on the couch and sat beside her. Then Julia also came towards them.
"Yes, that's really great, that you both had a patch up, you both actually look sweet together." Julia also said.
There was a dreamy smile on the elders' faces and this made Sarah smile shyly. She hides her face in Stefan's embrace and also circled his arm around her shoulder. Sitting on the armrest of the couch, where Sarah was sitting.
Ashley was stunned when has seen such a scene. How could Stefan and Sarah all lovingly together, like before, and why Sarah was smiling shyly?
This means Stefan had gone to Sarah's wish and had accepted the child with all his heart, did he change his thoughts for his wife?
Ashley thought with disdain, but she couldn't control her shocked expression till long until an unexpected voice rang very near to her ears.
"Are you shocked?"
Somebody said in Ashley's ears as she turned around to face more shock. It was Stella, and her lips were giving her a mocking smile.
"St... Stella, th.... this....."
Ashley wanted to say something, but her voice was choked in her throat, and then she was cut off by Stella.
"Don't give too much strain to your brain, there are many more shocks waiting for you."
Stella said very near to her ears and beckoned towards Stefan and Sarah's smiling face. Ashley turned her dumbfounded face towards them.
"How did this miracle happen?" Amy asked naughtily.
"All thanks to Stella and Jack, they made Stefan realize the importance of our baby in life."
Amy and Julia were surprised and looked at Stella with a smile, but Ashley got a shock again.
Ashley thought that she had successfully formed a crack in the family and soon Sarah and Stella will not even look at each other. How and when? But this has happened.
"Thank you so much, Stella. Just because of you I got my genuine happiness, otherwise not getting my husband's genuine affection for the pregnancy and my baby was a heart-wrenching thought."
Sarah aroused from the couch, and moved towards Stella, held her hand, and said kindly.
"You are so polite, Sarah. I will not lie when I first heard the news of your pregnancy I wasn't happy, but jealous. It's over three years of my marriage and I couldn't conceive, that's why I couldn't refrain my envious thoughts for you."
"Before my thoughts could be deep-rooted, seems like mom has read it and made me understand that this child shouldn't only be yours but could me my nephew or niece too. I couldn't conceive, that fact could not change anything, so my jealousy will not give me anything other than hatred for others." Stella said in a hoarse voice and tearful eyes.
Everybody looked at Julia in shock, that she had said such a thing to her own daughter-in-law.
"I was also shocked at first, like you all then mom made me realize, that if only her words are sounding so bitter to me, then my attitude will soon be revealed to everybody, then wouldn't their attitude change to be bitter to me."
"Then mom made me realize that we should work for ourselves, rest everything will only be decided by God and every good deed will be paid off with good and bad with bad, right Ashley?"
In the end, Stella turned and looked at Ashley, who immediately concealed her dark, resentful face and spread a charming innocent smile.
"Absolutely...."
Stammering, she could only say one word and pursed her lips. Even though she was perfect at hiding her emotions, she couldn't hide it from Stefan and Sarah.
"Is everything alright?"
Stefan moved forward and looked at Stella, then looked at Ashley's face tentatively.
"It's nothing." Before Stella, Ashley said and hurriedly held Sarah's hand, making her sit on the chair near the dining table. "Sarah, I am so happy for you. Tell me what do you want to eat today; I will make breakfast for you."
"As you used to do in the past in the Miller's house?" Sarah said ironically, her face full of disdain.
Sarah's words pierced Ashley's heart, making her tremble. She used to give Sarah drugs back in the past in her meals, which had made Sarah so terrible that she does unvigilant things and doesn't realize later what she had done.
"Sarah, I have forgotten the past and moved on; could you also not remind me about it?" Ashley said irritably and clenched her teeth.
"The day you let it go, perhaps I will also let it go."
Sarah said with cold eyes and turned her head, showing her disapproval for Ashley's approach.
Ashley was malicious at heart, she was and she will be always and she couldn't be changed. How could Sarah not see that it was somewhere, Ashley is related to Stella's jealous behavior.
"Sarah calm down."
Stefan took two steps towards Sarah and said with a concern, then looked behind at Julia and Amy little afar, busy in talking among themselves. He releases a sigh.
Sarah was always so considerate; how could she be so stubborn suddenly and express her disliking towards Ashley so openly.
Stella noticed the tense situation between the two and understood that something is hidden; she didn't even want to know what was that, but right now she only wanted to help Sarah and Stefan, and not Ashely.
"Alright Sarah, let me make something for you to eat; tell me, what do you want to eat right now?"
Stella's meddling made Stefan relax, and he caressed Sarah's cheeks to calm her down.
"Stella, Sarah can't eat as she wishes, she needs to follow a perfect diet chart as planned by the doctor."
Stefan looked at Stella and said solemnly, as he was noticing Sarah, who still had a grumpy look when she had an argument with Ashley and Stefan, and asked her to calm down.
"That diet chart is boring, I will eat as per my wish," Sarah said stubbornly, sparing a glance at Stella first, then again turned it towards Stefan.
Stefan had a headache, to deal with Sarah, why is she behaving so stubbornly all of a sudden?
"Don't worry, I will make your diet food also interestingly tasty for you. Stefan, send me her diet plan."
Sarah was tempted by Stella. Now if she was going to get mouthwatering food as per her diet plan, then she doesn't mind eating anything.
Stefan relaxed, seeing Sarah get her smile back, and again her eyes started brimming.
"Ashley, follow me to the kitchen; I need your help."
Stella said sternly and walked towards the kitchen and Ashley helplessly followed Stella.
Right now, Stella had her weaknesses, and she can't bear to disobey her, but she will not let this go on for long.
