The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 778

Chapter 778 I Said Gentle, Not Grabby

8. Pearis

When Abraham walked in, he saw Stella holding her phone in one hand and baby things in the other.

Since she was carrying triplets, all sorts of baby supplies had been delivered lately.

And every time, she insisted on checking them herself.

She was still so young…

In Abraham’s eyes, Stella was still a child who hadn’t really grown up; yet now, as a soon–to–be mother, she was starting to look the part.

The man stepped forward and pulled her straight into his arms, settling her on his lap.

“Hey, be careful,” she muttered in protest.

She already disliked how he was always lifting her up and down before; but now she was

pregnant…

Abraham clasped her small hand. “What’s this? Stella doesn’t want me to hold her anymore?”

“No, I just want you to be gentle.”

“I’m being careful.”

His voice carried endless tenderness.

Ever since learning she was expecting triplets, Abraham had been exercising extraordinary restraint around her.

Elena checked her twice a day, but sometimes Stella was so tired she could only manage one.

“My sister just called me. Maybe you should let her come back first?” she said.

At the mention of Marie’s return, Abraham glanced at her, puzzled.

Stella continued, “She’s been under too much mental stress lately. She said she thinks something’s wrong with her again.”

Abraham fell silent. His breath sank.

“Something wrong mentally?”

“Yeah. She said whenever she gets anxious, she throws up.”

Stella’s heart ached for Maric.

Others might think someone with Marie’s personality wasn’t the type to struggle mentally; but only Stella knew just how fragile her sister’s heart really was.

She was deeply emotional…

Otherwise, Dan wouldn’t have broken her the way he did back then; it had taken several psychologists before she fully recovered.

“Let her come back. Honestly, anything involving Dan, I don’t think she should be handling.”

That was Stella’s advice.

Abraham didn’t dwell much on the “throwing up when anxious” part.

He simply nodded. “I’ll call her.”

After all, she was his sister. Learning she was in this condition left him no room to think about anything else.

He went to the study to call Marie.

Stella was just about to put away the baby clothes when a servant knocked and stepped inside.

“Madam, a lady named Rianne phoned to say she’ll be coming by shortly.”

“Rianne?”

“Yes.”

Instinctively, Stella checked her call log; there was no record of Rianne’s number, so she must have called while Stella was on the line with Marie.

“Did she say when she’d arrive?”

“In about half an hour.”

She came straight to Falvaria? Stella had no idea how things had gone between Rianne and He Changfeng since she’d left Rivermount.

Just thinking of Hailey, who stood between them, made Stella’s heart ache for Rianne.

She set down the tiny clothes in her hands. “Take all of these for sterilization.”

“Yes, madam,” the servant replied respectfully.

Ever since a maid had gossiped about Abraham and Stella and Madam Evelyn had cracked down hard, everyone here treated Stella with utmost respect.

Stella went downstairs to wait for Rianne.

But just as she reached the staircase, she saw Eddie stumble in from outside, covered in dust and looking worn–out.

Stella muttered.

The moment he spotted her, Eddie rushed forward. Before Stella could react, he dropped to his knees with a loud thud right in front of her.

The others around froze.

Everyone was stunned by Eddie’s sudden gesture–even Eddie himself! Wait, this wasn’t intentional; I had just… tripped! Forget it.

He clutched Stella’s legs tightly. “Stella, you have to save me! Abraham’s not even human–he wants me dead in that godforsaken Milbar Desert!”

With his tearful plea and disheveled state, Stella couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

She instinctively tried to pull her legs free. “Let go. He wouldn’t let

you die.”

What a joke. Abraham would never allow anything to happen to the people around him. If he sent Eddie to the Milbar Desert, there had to be something important he needed done.

“He’s really not a good person…” Eddie whined.

“How did you get back?” Stella asked.

“I ran!”

Stella thought. Uh… How much had this kid suffered out there? He’d been pushed so hard he literally ran back!

Feeling awkward, Stella tried again to pull her legs free, but Eddie clung to her like a vice.

His stance was clear, unless Stella promised to put in a good word for him, he wasn’t letting go.

“Ugh, let go of me–I’m going to throw up!” Stella cried.
