Chapter 353: Chapter 353

At 3pm, Stella finished the work in her hand. She looked at the time and ensured that there was nothing else going on in the studio, she grabbed her things and prepared to go out.

Yesterday, she had been there once. Hence, she already knew where Amanda lived and she could reach her doorstep without any problem.

Even if they left, she could still ask the neighbors around the area to get some clue.

But when Stella reached the door, a familiar figure appeared in front of her.

The person smiled at her and seemed a little embarrassed.

Stella paused for a few seconds and then took the initiative to greet her, “Miss Jason.”

Rebecca spoke with a bitter smile on her face, “Don’t... be so polite. Now, the Jason family is already in such a bad situation, I’m no longer a missy.”

Stella looked at the stroller in front of her. She took two steps back and said, “Come in first.”

Stella wasn’t sure if it was because Rebecca was with the child, Rebecca was dressed in simple and plain clothes, not even a decent piece of jewelry was found on her. Now, Rebecca had completely lost the aura of a wealthy family’s daughter.

For the whole time, Rebecca seemed to be very uneasy. Only when she finished a cup of water, then she felt a little relaxed.

Stella said, “Miss...”

Subconsciously, she wanted to call her Miss Jason, but then she remembered that what Rebecca had just said. Hence, the words were not spoken out and for that instance, she didn’t know how to address her.

Rebecca put down her cup and said to her, “If you don’t mind, you can just call me Rebecca.”

Stella nodded gently, “Rebecca.”

After a paused, she continued, “Rebecca, why did you come and see me today? Is there something wrong?”

When Stella asked about Rebecca’s intention, a trace of embarrassment was shown on Rebecca’s face. After a while, she said, “Actually, I should have come long ago. It’s just that there are too many things to deal at home, and my child is still so young that I really can’t leave him alone. So, it took me a long time before I could come to see you. Today, I came because I wanted to... apologize to you.”

Stella was a little confused, “Apologize to me?”

Rebecca seemed to be a little nervous. She took a deep breath before she continued, “I have always had prejudice against you, and I’ve been talking bad things about you behind your back.”

When Stella heard this, she just smiled and said, “It’s okay. After all, when I first married into the Conrad family, it was really... not very honorable. It’s normal for you to have prejudice against me.”

“No.” Rebecca said, “Except for this, I... I also...”

Rebecca could not continue her words anymore.

Stella saw her difficulty and said, “Rebecca, in fact, the past is already in the past. We should all look forward.”

Rebecca shook her head, “Although things have passed, but I must say it out. I am haunted by this incident every day, and I often have nightmares at night. I’m always worried and afraid...”

Halfway through, she laid her eyes on the sleeping child in the stroller.

“As a mother, I have the responsibility and obligation to bear the consequences of those bad things that I’ve done in the past.” Rebecca closed her eyes and continued, “Do you still remember that you once fell into the water at the Conrad family’s swimming pool?”

Stella probable did not expect her to bring this up so suddenly. Stella froze for a moment and then said, “I remember.”

That was also the time when Clarence found out about her pregnancy.

Rebecca said, “Actually, it was not an accident. I ordered someone to do it.”

Stella was stunned and she subconsciously asked, “Why?”

“At that time, Annie was crazy about getting her revenge on you. I saw that the situation was not right, so I stopped her and found out that you are pregnant. At the same time, Horace just returned from abroad and you are so close to him. Hence, Annie and I thought that the baby...”

Stella continued the sentence that she didn’t finish, “Belonged to Horace.”

Rebecca nodded, “At that time, the Conrad family and the Jason family were getting engaged. I didn’t want such thing to cause the engagement to be canceled, so I made such a decision to harm you. Now, I’m not trying to get your forgiveness, I just feel that I can’t escape from this forever. Rather than living with fear every day, it is better for me to admit it and no matter what the consequences is, I will bear it.”

Stella laid her eyes on the stroller. She said without any emotions, “When the incident happened, you should be about to give birth to your baby.”

Her words seemed to touch Rebecca’s deepest pain. Rebecca’s eyes turned red instantly.

Even if she wanted to deny it, it was true that she really wanted to kill the child in Stella’s womb at that time.

After a long pause, Stella smiled suddenly, “I didn’t expect that he was just a child, but there were so many people who couldn’t tolerate him and even exploited his chances of coming into the world.”

“Ms. Radomil, I’m really sorry, I...”

Stella came back to her senses and said without any expressions, “Forget it. Apologizing doesn’t help anything. It can’t change what had happened, and it can’t change the ending too.”

It just that Stella really did not expect that there was such a thing when that incident happened.

Rebecca wiped her tears and said, “No matter what, our Jason family owes you a favor. In the future, if you need anything, just ask. I will help you even if I have to give up everything.”

Stella said, “Miss Jason, what you promised is too much. I don’t have anything that required you to give up everything to achieve.”

Rebecca heard that she changed the way she addressed her. Rebecca opened her mouth, but she did not know what to say.

After a few seconds, Rebecca got up and said, “Then... I’ll go back first. If you need anything, you can always find me.”

Stella also got up and followed her, “I’ll see you off.”

When they reached the studio door, Rebecca couldn’t resist turning around and said, “Ms. Radomil, I know that you will not forgive me. Hence, I am not telling you these to excuse myself. However, I felt that... things are a little strange.”

Rebecca continued, “You also know Annie’s character. She always speaks and acts on hearsay. At that time, she just knew that you are pregnant, so she suddenly came and find you. If she knew about your pregnancy before that, it is impossible for her to wait until that time. And that day, Phoebe...

she was present too.”

Hearing this, Stella couldn’t help but frown.

Rebecca continued again, “I don’t know if I’m overthinking it or not, but later, I found out that the hospital where you’ve been doing maternity tests is also the hospital that I often go to. Phoebe had accompanied me to the hospital for a few times. Maybe I shouldn’t say this without any evidence, but I heard that you are staying with the Steward family recently, so I wished to tell you that please be as careful as possible. I have known Phoebe for more than ten years, but until recently only I found out that she is actually not the kind of person I thought she was.”

Stella stared at her back and didn’t come back to her senses for a long time.
