"Pregnant women shouldn't get upset. Even if we divorce, | won't fight you for Daisy's custody. You are her

mother and will always be! Don't bother with what she said." Hearing him say this, Lizetta felt a bit comforted.

Stella's words had been like a knife to her heart, suggesting she'd be left childless and alone.

How could Lizetta not be angry?

She turned her head away, protecting her belly, not wanting to look at Remington.

Even though he was desperately trying to explain, Lizetta still felt uneasy.

The weariness on her face was evident, and Remington felt like the tiny bit of progress he had made on the

plane had been completely shattered by the West family's mother and daughter. Irritation flickered in his eyes as

he frowned at Stella, ignoring her tear-streaked face, he spoke firmly.

"Stella, | have no romantic feelings for you. I've always seen you as a sister, and that hasn't changed. We will

never be a thing. Your accusations are absurd!"

Stella shook her head, visibly shaken.

"I don't believe you! Remington, you had promised my mother you would marry me."

"Ha, ha, oh please, Mr. Dashiell is known for keeping his promises, isn't he? Forgot your own words, did you? It's

tto give her an explanation."

Lizetta's voice was dripping with sarcasm, eager to leave this mess behind.

She walked away from Remington, striding forward.

Remington glanced at Ray, who immediately followed.

Taking a moment, Remington crouched down, looking into Stella's tearful eyes, he spoke tiredly.

"I was clear about the circumstances under which | agreed, your parents know it. If | had known it would lead to

greed and harm towards my wife and child, | would have never agreed!

Stella, | owe you, but my wife and child don't. I've tried to make amends over the years, but everyone has their

limits. Don't pushto the point where my years of affection for the West family beca joke!" Stella was

devastated, her face pale, tears silently streaming down.

Her lips quivered, grasping at Remington's coat.

"Remington, believe me, believe my mother there must be some

mrstanding. And Liz is fine,

isn't she? You..."

Remington looked into her pleading eyes, pulling his coat from her grasp.

Stella felt a void, then a heavy sink in her heart, her expression one of stunned pain. Leaning in, Remington

whispered.

"Stella, you better truly be unaware

of this mess. Otherwise... | won't spare any past feelings. Don't makeregret bringing you back, I'd rather you

had died sixteen years age!"

His voice cold, Stella froze, her support gone, collapsing to the ground.

Remington stood up, walking past Barbara without a glance, and left.

Only when he had completely disappeared did Stella release a terrified cry.

She got up, rushing to Barbara, "Mom, Remington, he..."

She meant to say, Remington felt like a stranger, terrifying.

His demeanor had completely changed, clearly siding with Lizetta, showing no tolerance for the West family

anymore.

But Barbara gripped her hand tightly, reminding sternly.

"Stella, let's go home."

Barbara's hand was cold, covered in sweat.

Yet, Stella found strength, holding onto Barbara's hand, wrapping her in a blanket, laying her head on

Barbara's lap, whispering through

tears. a

"Mom, you'll protect me, right?"

In the car.

As soon as Remington got in, ready to tell Ray to drive, Lizetta said.

"Let's go to the city hall first."
