Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 213

Chapter213

Cecilia accompanied Corrine to look at wedding dresses. By the time. they finished, it was already past one in the morning.

A servant gently reminded Cecilia not to stay up too late.

Only then did Corrine remember that Cecilia was still pregnant. Though she was reluctant, she firmly insisted that Cecilia go rest.

The next afternoon, Cecilia took Corrine to the airport.

Corrine planned to travel for a while before finally heading to Baritel.

So she bought a ticket for a flight that afternoon at the last minute.

At the airport.

Cecilia reminded Corrine to call her after she arrived.

Corrine teased her for acting like an old mother.

Cecilia was helpless, but still couldn’t help reminding her again, “Corrine, take care of yourself.”

Corrine understood her concern.

If Johan hadn’t come back, she might never have left Aetherton.

But now, all she wanted was to escape from here.

Wiping away her tears, she hugged Cecilia tightly. “Cilla, goodbye.”

Cecilia hugged her back just as tightly

The boarding announcement sounded.

Corrine pushed her suitcase and went to line up..

Suddenly, her phone rang. An unfamiliar local number appeared on the screen.

Corrine’s first reaction was that a client had an issue, so she answered immediately.

A voice, both strange and familiar, sounded in her ear.

“Corrine, did I give you permission to leave?”

It was Johan.

Corrine’s eyes widened instantly as she looked around, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t spot Johan anywhere.

Without hesitation, she hung up the phone.

She continued moving forward with the crowd.

Her phone chimed again with a new message.

“If you take one more step, Cecilia and the child in her belly will pay the price for you today.”

Corrine instinctively looked at Cecilia.

Cecilia was still standing where she was, but behind her, at some point, a man in black wearing a baseball cap and a mask had appeared.

One of his hands was in his pocket, the fabric bulging with the shape of some object.

Cilla.

“Are you going or not?” someone behind her urged.

Corrine snapped back to reality and quickly apologized, “Sorry, I’m not going.”

Without hesitation, she left the line and returned to Cecilia’s side.

Cecilia frowned. She had been watching Corrine the whole time, taking in every change in her expression,

“What happened?”

Corrine forced a smile. “Cilla, I thought about it and decided I don’t want to leave you here alone. I don’t want to go.”

Cecilia didn’t believe her excuse. “Was it Johan who just called you?”

She had guessed it.

Corrine glanced at the man behind her, her face looking terrible.

“No, it wasn’t him, Cilla. I’m just not feeling well. Let’s go home.”

She grabbed her suitcase, took Cecilia’s hand, and ran out as fast as she could.

It was as if she was afraid Cecilia would force her onto the plane.

When they got outside the airport, they ran right into Wesley.

When he saw Corrine, he frowned. “You didn’t leave?”

He knew Corrine was supposed to leave today.

He had come specifically to pick up Cecilia.

Corrine struggled to come up with an excuse. “I forgot something.”

Wesley’s gaze was deep and distant as he stared at Corrine. “You should leave here.”

Given the current situation, Corrine leaving would be best for

everyone.

Corrine gripped the handle of her suitcase tightly. Of course she knew. She didn’t want to stay here either.

But she…

had no choice.

Cecilia couldn’t stand it anymore.

She guessed that Corrine’s sudden change of heart had something to do with that phone call.

Corrine refused to explain.

But so what? Whether she left or not was Corrine’s own choice.

“That’s enough, Wesley.” She shielded her friend and looked at the man with displeasure. “Corrine knows what she’s doing.”

Wesley rubbed his brow, his expression not looking good.

“Corrine, Johan is going to have a political marriage. Besides, you and he will never be possible, right? So why stay here?”

His words were sharp, hoping Corrine would come to her senses,

Tears welled up in Corrine’s eyes as her fingernails dug into the handle of her suitcase, gripping it tightly.

“Don’t worry, I won’t interfere with his marriage to Ms. Wilburn.”

“Your presence here is interference,” Wesley said, his words harsh but

true.

Corrine couldn’t say a word.

She had always been the one who was unwanted.

Suddenly, her palm felt warm.

It was Cecilia, holding her hand.

Cecilia looked at Wesley and said sarcastically, “So as long as it’s something Larissa wants, everyone else has to give way, is that it?”

That’s how it was for her, and now for her friend as well.

Anyone who stood in Larissa’s way had to step aside.

“Cilla, you’ve misunderstood me,” Wesley explained.
