Chapter 117: Chapter 117

Chapter 117 Thank You for Liking Me It was past eleven o’clock at night. Cynthia fell asleep very early because of her pregnancy. Alston hugged her and was about to kiss her little face when someone was slapping the bedroom door loudly. His face turned dark, subconsciously covering Cynthia’s ears.

Cynthia just fell asleep not long ago. Her sleep was light, so she was woken up. She opened her eyes in a daze. “What’s wrong?

What happened?”

Alston controlled the anger and said softly, “You lie down. I’ll go and have a look!”

It was late at night. Everyone in the Smith’s house knew Cynthia was pregnant and slept lightly. As long as she was asleep, no one dared to go up to the second floor except for Stella!

Alston opened the door with a dark face. Outside, Stella raised her hand and was to continue. She immediately stopped when she saw Alston.

“Why do you knock on the door in the middle of the night? Don’t you know Cynthia is pregnant and needs enough sleep?”

Alston hated Stella to the extreme. Ever since he knew she had drugged Cynthia, he lost the last ounce of affection for her. He kept her in the Smith family for her family’s sake. If she dared to endanger Cynthia, he would drive her out.

He had to drive Stella away even if it would ruin his reputation.

Stella was in a rage and couldn’t see the deep meaning in Alston’s eyes at all. Cynthia was not out, so she immediately shouted, “Where is Cynthia? Get her out! I’ve never seen a narrow-minded person like her. She doesn’t have the slightest tolerance for others and even drove away my man!”

Alston knew that she probably had known that Molly had left, and she thought it was Cynthia who drove him away.

“I drove her away.” Alston coldly interrupted her cursing.

Stella was stunned, with her voice stuck in her throat, and she looked at Alston in surprise. “It was you?

Impossible!”

She knew that Alston never wasted time on such trivial matters. Cynthia must have felt Molly’s threat and driven her away while she was not at home..

“Don’t defend Cynthia. I know she doesn’t like me and the one I brought home. But Molly was here to take care of me. I didn’t ask Cynthia to pay a penny. Why did she drive away my man?”

Then Cynthia came over in soft pajamas and stood beside Alston, looking small. She asked softly, “Alston, is she a punisher now?”

“Why did you come out? I can take care of it!” Alston touched her finger and was relieved to feel it was warm.

Looking at them showing affection as if no one else was around, Stella got angry. With a ferocious face, she rushed towards Cynthia, trying to grab her by the shoulder.

Cynthia took two steps back. Alston was quick to push Stella out of the room.

Stella fell back a few steps to stabilize her figure and looked at Alston in disbelief. “You. I’m your mother, and you pushed me for this b*tch!*

Alston stared at Stella with a warning in his eyes. “What did you call her?”

Stella pursed her lips. Even though she was dissatisfied, she didn’t dare to say that word again.

“Just talk. Keep your hands to yourself. If you dare to hurt Cynthia and the child in her belly, I will never let you go!”

Stella’s eyes were red with anger, but she stood obediently outside the door, only staring at Cynthia fiercely with her eyes. “Why did you do that? You make me embarrassed to drive away the one I brought. I’m still alive.

You are so anxious to be the hostess of the Smith family. Now you dare to drive away the person I hired. Are you going to drive me away next time!”

Hearing her hoarse questioning, Cynthia was stunned for a second, then sneered. “Yes. If you weren’t Alston’s biological mother, I would have kicked you out a long time ago.”

“You finally said what was in your heart.” Looking at Alston, Stella was angry but laughed and said, “This is your good wife. She actually wants to drive me away. She has no filial piety at all as a daughter-in-law. She would get drowned in ancient times.”

“Get drowned?” Cynthia’s eyes were cold. She pushed Alston away, walked up to Stella, and stared at her.

“You want me to get drowned just because I want to kick you out. What about everything you did to me? It’s never enough even if you die 100 times.”

Stella was frightened by her cold eyes and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? I didn’t do anything!”

“You are Alston’s mother. When I first came here, I really wanted to treat you well. But you targeted me everywhere, gave me sterilization drugs, and took a woman home while I was pregnant. What do you want? I have never seen a mother-in-law who would take the initiative to find a woman for her son while her daughter-in-law is pregnant. Everything you did made me extremely disgusted. Although you are Alston’s mother, I have put up with a lot from you.”

Cynthia said slowly and clearly. She was getting agitated as she spoke, staring at Stella viciously with red eyes.

“Molly was nothing. You made an excuse to bring her in to take care of you, and Alston was not interested in her. So I thought she wouldn’t make any waves, and allowed her to stay. But she violated my bottom line to break my most beloved thing. I kicked her out because she made mistakes first.”

Stella realized why Cynthia drove Molly away. She felt a little guilty but kept saying, “She just needs to pay for whatever she broke. Why do you drive her away?”

Alston said in a deep voice, “It’s not expensive. They only paid a few million.”

Stella froze and couldn’t say anything. All her own was far enough millions of dollars. Molly had indeed made a big mistake.

“Then you should inform me. After all, you drove away my man!”

Cynthia sneered. “I didn’t drive her away. She cried out for quitting.”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Stella glanced at her. “How could Molly quit since is very interested in Alston?” she thought.

Cynthia raised her chin. “Then call her to ask.”

Stella frowned and took out her mobile phone to call Molly. As soon as she connected, a small panicked cry came from the opposite side, “Auntie, don’t call me anymore. I won’t go back home even if I die.”

Then Molly hung up.

Stella was stunned when she hung up. She felt Molly’s avoidance.

“How was she? Did she still want to be back?”

Cynthia snorted coldly and asked.

Stella’s face was blanched and livid. She glanced at Cynthia and went downstairs in despair.

She heard Alston’s deep and cold voice just stepping on the stairs. “Greg, ask someone to install a door on the second floor tomorrow. No irrelevant people.”

Stella almost stepped on the ground. She held onto the stairs, and looked back, just in time to see Alston slamming the door to close.

Cynthia laid on the bed angrily, cast a sidelong glance at Alston, and pouted her tiny mouth, “If I didn’t like you so much, I would definitely divorce you because of your mother.”

Alston’s eyes turned cold. He jumped onto the bed, rubbed her whole body into his arms, and kissed her tender lips fiercely. “Don’t you dare to say divorce!”

Cynthia snorted coldly, buried her head in his arms, and remained silent.

Alston stroked her long hair with his fingers and looked at the ceiling, with his eyes full of chills. “Don’t worry.

I will take care of everything as soon as possible, and find a chance to separate her from the Smith family.

You will never be bullied by her.”

“You do what you say!” Cynthia raised her head with her almond eyes sparkling with excitement.

Alston couldn’t hold back and carefully kissed her eyelid lightly, saying in a doting voice, “When did I ever break my promise!”

Only then did Cynthia nestle into his arms with satisfaction and fall asleep shortly after.

Alston looked at her delicate and pretty face with unbelievably soft eyes and whispered in her ear. “Cynthia, thank you for liking me!”

Cynthia made a small move. Alston looked again and found that she was sleeping soundly like a piglet again, but her ears were slowly turning red.
