Chapter 1149 Will Elaine Go to the Wedding or Not?
The next day, Tuesday.The Sterling family was gathered at the breakfast table.Elaine was drowsy, having actually been unable to sleep at all after two shocking pieces of news she had received in the early hours of the morning. Her eyes were red, and she yawned occasionally.Sheila decided to tease her, “Elaine, you shouldn’t stay up late at night. When the baby is born, you’ll know what it’s like to lose sleep.”“I’ll figure out how to regulate my son’s sleep as quickly as possible,” Elaine retorted sourly.Alice frowned indignantly. “Are you going to ignore science and biology? A baby doesn’t know the difference between day and night yet, you unnatural mother!”Elaine wasn’t about to be intimidated. “I believe science has evolved. There must be some modern method to teach newborns to sleep at the same time as their parents!”Abner and Karl chuckled, knowing Elaine was expecting something absurd.After swallowing eggs and bacon, Karl voiced his scathing opinion, “If you’re not ready
Chapter 1148 We’re Going to Do Something
In Matthew’s suite at Sterling Mansion, Elaine, still awake, was stunned by Nayla’s revelation.“Girl, that’s a bombshell. I had no idea the enemy was so close!”“Yeah, and we almost walked right into a trap.” In her own bedroom, Nayla felt like the dumbest woman on the planet. “Why do we always fall for these jerks’ sweet talk, huh?”“Hey, don’t blame yourself. You didn’t have a crystal ball, and Kirk should have told you from the start,” Elaine advised her.“That’s true. My brother just waited for me to distance myself from him without explaining a thing. Now he wants me to leave town.”Elaine was outraged. “You, leaving town while the drug dealer roams free, selling his ‘goods’ and ruining other people’s lives?”“He’s terrified of reporting Gustavo — or that I might go to the police,” Nayla explained.“Okay, we won’t do anything for now. But understand this, my friend: we ARE going to do something,” Elaine asserted. “Let’s not forget his sister is dating Matt’s best friend.”“I don
Chapter 1147 A Clash of Males
Ernesto came home, trying to be discreet and not wake anyone up.But he saw lights reflecting from the kitchen.He walked over and found Paulina drinking tea to calm her nerves.“Hey, doesn’t tea have caffeine?” Ernesto joked.“I’m not drinking black tea,” Paulina replied quietly. “How’s Mr. Andrade?”Ernesto sat on the stool by the kitchen island. “Looks like Mr. Andrade forgot about his diet and stuffed himself with spicy beef stew loaded with seasonings. Mrs. Andrade had set aside a grilled chicken fillet with little salt for him, but he found a way to bypass security.”Paulina smiled faintly. “Just indigestion, then.”“Not exactly, dear. The guy’s blood pressure went through the roof, nearly ending in a cardiac arrest.” Ernesto sighed. “Remind me to be just as careful when Jacqueline and Mr. Loss get married.”“It’s still too early.” Paulina took another sip.“No, things have changed.” Ernesto sounded like a reporter. “Jacqueline and her fiancé are moving the wedding up. They’re a
Chapter 1146 Replacing Linda with Another
Walter and Linda found Charles in better physical condition, resting in his private room at Andrade Clinic.“Who would’ve thought!” Walter joked. “The owner of the clinic network became a patient.”“Now I can advertise by proving the facilities are good.” Charles quipped, making the others laugh.“Mr. Andrade, I’m so glad you’ve recovered,” Linda said, moved.“My dear, why did you bother, waking up in the middle of the night to see this mischievous old man?” Charles was surprised by his future daughter-in-law’s dedication.“I needed to show that I care. You’ll be my family, right?” Linda replied wisely.Jacqueline seized the moment and said, “Linda, get your look ready. We’re moving the wedding up, as soon as Dad feels better.”“Oh, how interesting! Good to know — keep us posted.”Walter was surprised. “Are you serious? Why? Does Dad not have much time left?”Emmanuelle shuddered. “No, son! Don’t think like that.”Walter shrugged. “Then there’s no reason to panic. The party can’t be t
Chapter 1145 Unexpected Couples
On the longest night at Andrade Clinic, Linda was negatively surprised when Walter exclaimed that he didn’t want to have family ties with Nathan. “Darling, how can you say something like that here in the lobby, for everyone to hear?” she complained. “It’s the truth.” Walter chuckled. Linda, however, gave him a shove on the shoulder. “OUCH!” Walter was not pretending the pain. “That was completely unnecessary, my dear.” “Unnecessary is your rejection.” Linda quickly defended Nathan. “The poor boy isn’t to blame for everything that happened.” “Darling, have you forgotten that we’re talking about the same Nathan who almost ran us over that fateful night?” Linda gesticulated furiously, indignant. “No! Don’t even start recalling that night! First, it was my sister’s fault, and then, your best friend Matthew Sterling was involved too. You know that. Everyone was forgiven, except Nathan?” “Nathan should have avoided driving drunk, no matter if Bella and Matthew were plotting behind t
Chapter 1144 Don’t Ruin the Wedding Because of Me
Back at Andrade Clinic, Charles and Emmanuelle didn’t know how they would explain to Jacqueline what they plan to do about the wedding.“Dear daughter, we appreciate your concern about my presence at your wedding,” Charles broke the silence. “More than ever, I want to walk you down the aisle.”Jacqueline’s eyes welled with tears. “Thank you, Dad...”“But we can’t ruin this moment with a hurriedly organized party because you’re afraid I won’t make it until then. And what about the guests? Will everyone be able to attend at the last minute?”Zachary took Jacqueline’s hand. “Your father has a point, dear.”“It might be, but it’s what I want. I’m scared, Dad...” Jacqueline let tears fall.“If you want, the wedding can be now, right here in the hospital room,” Emmanuelle joked.However, Jacqueline seemed serious. “GREAT IDEA! Call Matt, Walter, and Linda, and let’s call the priest--”“No, daughter, NO!” Charles cut her off with authority. “You don’t deserve to have your special moment ruin
