Chapter 1205:
Lindyâs problem was nothing more than a torturous headache, but her temper made it feel like a crisis. This time, however, Lindy wasnât in the mood to be placated.
She turned her cold gaze to Melany and snapped, âCanât you see how Iâm doing? Youâre pregnant, not blind.â
Scoffing, Lindy pressed her fingers to her throbbing temple, her frustration spilling over. âWhat were you even doing just now? Slacking off again? Back in the day, Allison wouldâve been at my bedside, taking excellent care of me. Even if youâre not as sharp as her, the least you can do is be docile and obedient!â
Her words grew harsher, bitterness sharpening her tone with each passing second. Deep down, Lindy knew that Melany wasnât one to take such jabs lying down.
Initially, Lindy had been drawn to Melany for her familyâs wealth, but after Colton married her, reality struck. Melanyâs parents turned out to be insufferable, always asking for money while flaunting their nouveau riche attitude.
âLindy, what are you even talking about? Iâm pregnant, so yeah, I move slower. Itâs not intentional,â Melany said, her voice dripping with mock sweetness.
She plastered on a smile that didnât reach her eyes, masking the anger sheâd been swallowing for weeks.
She kept that fake smile on her face, continuing, âAnd while I might not be as capable as Allison, at least I can still fetch you medicine and water when youâve got a headache.â
Although Melany was smiling, every word felt like a knife stabbing at Lindyâs heart.
Melanyâs voice turned even sharper as she added, âYou know, Allison wouldnât even bother to bring you medicine before. Thatâs why you suffered so much.â
Hearing these words, Lindy froze for a moment, her face darkening before she exploded. âThat ungrateful bitch!â Lindyâs chest heaved as fury bubbled up inside her.

Every reminder of Allison felt like salt in an open wound, especially since Allison had recently caused the Stevens family so much trouble. Thanks to her, Kellan had been mercilessly crushing them in every possible way.
But none of that changed the fact that Melany was utterly useless in Lindyâs eyes. âAnd you, youâre pregnant, not disabled. Moving a little faster wonât kill you!â
Her anger flared as she jabbed a finger toward the servants. âGo call Colton! Let him see for himself the wonderful wife he married!â
Hearing this, Melany stiffened, the fake smile on her face vanishing entirely.
During this period, Colton had been avoiding seeing Melany. She knew that her relationship with him would deteriorate further if Lindy escalated the situation.
âLindy, Colton has been really busy these days, so I think you shouldââ But no matter what Melany said, it was useless. After all, the servants only listened to Lindy, and they soon called Colton over.
Colton arrived in a hurry, peeling off his suit jacket with impatience. âMom, the servants mentioned something happened at home.â Lately, Colton felt completely overwhelmed. The companyâs performance had been declining, and many accounts were incorrect. Ever since losing the cooperation with Flavio some time ago, he had been struggling to stay afloat.
So, when he learned that something had happened at home, Colton felt nothing but frustration. He couldnât help but wish Allison were here. In the past, no matter what happened at home, she would manage everything and never let him worry.
