Chapter 1665

She smiled warmly.

“Lately, I’ve been working on a surprise.

I’ll share it with you after Stella’s wedding, okay?”

As she spoke, she instinctively placed her hand on her stomach, her eyes sparkling with joy.

By the time Stella’s wedding day arrived, the fetus would be one hundred days old.

Flossie intended to share the joyful news of her pregnancy with Benny then.

She was convinced Benny would be just as excited about the baby’s arrival as she was.

Seeing Flossie’s joyful expression, Benny felt moved.

He squeezed her hand gently and promised, “I have a surprise for you too.

You can look forward to it.

”

In Dorburn, Bella was preparing for her trip to Seamarsh for Stella’s wedding.

She methodically folded her clothes and packed them into her suitcase.

However, partway through, a wave of dizziness overtook her, and she had to sit down quickly on the bed’s edge.

Seeing this, Elizabeth quickly sat beside her and feigned concern.

“Mom, what’s wrong? Are you feeling okay?”

Bella pressed her temples and replied, “I’m fine.

I just haven’t rested well lately.

”

Elizabeth watched her quietly, thinking that the medicine she had given her earlier might have taken effect.

She secretly chuckled to herself.

But glancing at the suitcase on the floor, she felt a surge of anger.

“Do you really need to go to Stella’s wedding? You could stay home since you’re not well,” she suggested, sounding worried.

Bella responded firmly, “I know my body.

It’s nothing serious.

And I need to be at Stella’s wedding.

”

She sighed softly.

“I made a hasty decision before.

I judged Stella’s work without thorough investigation, only to find out she was the victim of plagiarism.

To make amends, I need to be there to support her and protect her reputation as a designer.

”

Elizabeth clenched her teeth, unhappy with Bella’s defense of Stella.

Bella missed the look of displeasure on Elizabeth’s face.

She smiled and added, “Besides, there’s another reason I’m going.

Stella is a gifted designer and I’m quite fond of her.

After her wedding, I’m planning to officially name her as my successor at the design studio.

”

Elizabeth sat there, shocked.

She realized Bella’s determination to pass the torch to Stella.

If Stella took over, all the glory would be hers, leaving Elizabeth’s efforts pointless.

No way!

Elizabeth would never let this happen!
