On the way back, Evelyn was thinking about this matter while driving. Valeria was prone to jealousy, and she even argued with William decisively because she was pregnant with two sons. This was not a wise decision.
No matter how good-tempered a man was, he would be annoyed by such a woman. Now that Valeria was pregnant and could do anything she wanted, he would probably be fed up with her, right?
If she added a little fire to the fuel and made Valeria quarrel with him again, his level of annoyance would definitely increase.
The more Evelyn thought about it, the more she felt that it was a feasible plan. She had already found out about Valeria’s phone number, so it was better to sow discord among them first.
Evelyn stopped the car, took out her mobile phone, and clicked on the photo she had shown to Lincoln. She edited it until her face is blurred sufficiently so that no one could recognize her. Then she sent it to Valeria.
Valeria ignored the ringing of her phone as she continued to chat and eat with Braelynn.
The group returned to the car after lunch. Valeria was a little sleepy, so she yawned. Willliam asked her with a smile, “Are you sleepy?”
Hayden immediately responded concernedly, “Take a break if you’re tired! William, adjust the chair for her.”
“It’s okay. I’ll nap when I get home!” Valeria shook her head. She picked up her phone and was about to play a game to kill time. That was when she saw a photo sent by a strange number.
As she looked at the photo of William holding a woman whose face couldn’t be seen clearly, she burst into a giggle.
She handed the phone to William and said, “Honey, look at this. Isn’t this puzzle interesting? I really want to know what this woman looks like. How can she have the courage to send me this kind of photo?”
William glanced at the photo and couldn’t help but laugh. “There’s someone who is childish enough to send you such a thing? Is he trying to anger you? Are you angry, my dear?”
“Of course I’m not! Isn’t this ridiculous? The person who sent this message is out of her mind. Does she think that I will quarrel with you and question you when I see this? Am I so idle to do so?”
Valeria did not take the picture sent by Evelyn seriously at all. She deleted it directly.
Evelyn’s attempt to sow discord had failed. Meanwhile, Angel took a taxi back to her apartment after going separate ways with Evelyn.
After getting out of the car, her stomach was churning and she felt nauseous. She threw up with a yelp.
Morning sickness was completely unbearable. She squatted on the ground in a daze when heard the sound of a car’s brakes.
After a while, Paisley’s teasing voice rang out. “Ms. Floyd, are you throwing up because of your pregnancy? This does look pretty serious, doesn’t it?”
Angel raised her head and looked at Paisley. The smile on the latter’s face was a sore sight to her. “What does it have to do with you?”
“Tsk tsk! Why are you still so fierce when you’re already in dire straits? Ah, you scared me to death!” Paisley pretended to take a few steps backward. When she noticed that Angel was irritated, she sneered and said, “Angel, do you really think this is worth it?”
“Get lost!” Angel stood up and staggered away. She didn’t want to see that bitch, Paisley, at all, nor did she want to talk to her.
Paisley, on the other hand, was determined to pester Angel. She caught up with the latter calmly. “Did you know that Azalea has moved into the Floyd family?”
Angel ignored her and continued to move forward. The latter said sarcastically, “I heard that Deborah dotes on her very much. Do you regret being cast away from the house just to help her?”
Angel’s patience was wearing thin. “Paisley, if you want to provoke me, find something that makes sense. You’re telling me that Azalea has moved into the Floyd family. Don’t you think this is ridiculous?”
“You don’t believe me, is it? Why don’t you ask Madelyn about it if you have any doubts?” The smile on Paisley’s lips broadened in response. “Angel, do you know why the Floyd family wants to chase you away?”
“It’s none of your business!”
“Haha! You are so pathetic. If the Clark family doesn’t acknowledge this child, the Floyd family will not accept you into their house either. How can you live with a child to raise on your own?”
“Scram! Don’t talk nonsense in front of me!” Angel quickened her pace and ran straight to the elevator.
Paisley didn’t follow her this time. She watched the latter with cold eyes. It was extremely stupid of Angel to not think about the reason she was abandoned by the Floyd family! She was cretinous beyond hope!
Angel had returned to the apartment. Madelyn bought lemons and plum, as well as some kimchi. Angel ate two pieces of plums and tasted a little kimchi. Then she went back to her room and lay down for ten minutes. Her stomach churned and she had to rush to the bathroom as she began to vomit.
Being pregnant was an unbearable experience. Angel felt as if she had been emptying her stomach all too often.
She hobbled back to the bedroom when Madelyn brought some water for her. When she saw that Angel’s morning sickness was so serious, she could empathize with the latter. “Your pregnancy is similar to mine back then. I had a hard time too and vomited all the time. I couldn’t eat anything at all. The morning sickness will only disappear gradually after roughly five months. You are only one month plus into pregnancy, so you still need to soldier through the next few months.”
“What? Are you sure it’ll last this long?” Angel was dumbfounded once she heard Madelyn’s words.
“Miss, the days of your suffering are approaching. This kind of pain is beyond your imagination. In addition to vomiting, your feet will also be swollen. They will be as big as large buns. There’ll even be depressions on them once you pressed on them. Besides, your body figure will change. Your weight will increase and stretch marks will appear on your body. Some of the spots will never disappear. They will exist on your face for the rest of your life. It looks ugly.”
Madelyn was trying to convince Angel to give up the child. The latter was well aware of her gimmicks. “Don’t you fucking think about asking me to give up. I won’t give up, ever!”
“If you don’t give up, the Floyd family will give up on you. Miss, please, think about it carefully!”
Upon hearing Madelyn’s harsh reply, what Paisley had said to Angel just now suddenly occurred to her. “Let me ask you, has Azalea moved into the Floyd family?”
“That’s right!”
“Why didn’t you tell me before?” Angel sat up straight upon hearing the answer.
“I just found out as well. When you were discharged from the hospital the other day, I called Azalea and she told me. I was afraid that you would be downhearted, so I withheld the information from you.”
“What’s going on? Why would that b*tch, Azalea, move into the Floyd family?” Angel had mixed feelings about it. She felt terrible. “Tell me everything that Azalea had told you.”
“Azalea said that the Floyd family wanted to train her. Mr. Floyd has adopted her as his stepdaughter and asked her to move into the Floyd family. She also said that she was now staying in your room. I think the Floyd family is deliberately using her to provoke you. Miss, you are now living a miserable life outside, but Azalea is enjoying a good life in the Floyd family. She even occupies your place in the house. I feel sad for you, miss!”
Angel was so furious that she almost went ballistic. She was now a woman who had lost her power and advantage. Anyone could mock and belittle her. She would let the matter go if others were to do so, but who the hell did Azalea think she was?
She had not sought revenge from Azalea the last time the latter had taught her a lesson. New and old scores popped up in her mind together. She sent a message to Ornard angrily. “Azalea has moved into the Floyd family. She said that my father will be adopting her as his stepdaughter. That bitch, Emily, has to be the one who is helping her. Emily is always giving me the cold shoulder, yet she is so nice to Azalea. She is hurting my feelings badly. I can’t sit still and do nothing. Uncle, send someone to teach Azalea a lesson for me.”
