Chapter 741: Today’s Surprise
There’s no text in the message, just a few ultra-high-definition photos.
In the photos, Felix Jennings and Stella Monroe are passionately embracing and kissing; if you don’t look at the wrinkles on their faces, you’d think they were a couple madly in love.
Can it not be a passionate love affair?
Stolen things are always the best.
Holly Holloway noticed her gaze and curiously asked, "Sadie, what are you looking at?"
Summer Monroe put away her phone and shook her head, "Nothing, you could say it’s... today’s little surprise."
"Oh..." Holly was not interested in surprises; she only wanted to eat noodles from the newly opened noodle shop.
The two held hands and walked towards the school gate, when suddenly a voice called out to her.
"Summer!"
Summer Monroe’s steps paused; that voice... why does it sound so much like Stella Monroe?
She turned her head towards the direction of the voice, only to see Stella Monroe walking over with a big smile on her face.
It really was Stella Monroe!
Summer Monroe quickly sent a message on her phone, then squinted slightly as she scrutinized Stella Monroe.
Ancient Chinese Medicine emphasizes observing, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse; even the "observing" aspect is quite intricate.
Summer Monroe could tell at a glance that beneath Stella Monroe’s forced vigor lay a look of despair.
It seems Stella Monroe hasn’t been doing so well these past few days.
Seeing Summer Monroe observing her with narrowed eyes, Stella Monroe suddenly felt guilty.
Summer Monroe’s eyes seemed like X-rays, able to penetrate her internal organs.
She steadied her nerves, forced herself to remain calm, and then quickened her pace to greet Summer Monroe with a smile, "Summer, long time no see, how have you been lately?"
Stella Monroe’s tone was gentle, her whole demeanor like that of a kind mother.
But Summer Monroe was well aware that this was just Stella Monroe’s mask.
Beneath that mask, Summer Monroe had already guessed more than half of Stella Monroe’s true intentions.
Just as she had previously mentioned, Stella Monroe hadn’t shown signs of pregnancy for days, and the base selling Gaia Medicine had been taken down by Cece and Bella, so Stella Monroe must be anxious to miscarry.
If she wanted to miscarry, she might as well drag Summer down with her.
Stella Monroe really had a good plan; if Summer Monroe were truly pure and ignorant, she would have died at Stella Monroe’s hands over a hundred times by now.
Summer Monroe glanced casually at Stella Monroe and asked, expressionless, "What brings you here? I said today’s wind seems to be blowing crazily."
"You..." Stella Monroe’s face faltered slightly.
But remembering the purpose of her visit, she suppressed her annoyance and put on a pitiable appearance, "Summer, why are you speaking to your mother this way? Those who don’t know might think we’re enemies."
It was lunchtime, and many students were coming and going at the school gate.
Furthermore, Summer Monroe had become quite popular at Crestfall University due to her translation videos, naturally attracting many gazes.
Once Stella Monroe’s words were spoken, quite a few students unfamiliar with Summer Monroe showed expressions of surprise.
"Why is Goddess Monroe treating her mom so poorly?"
"This attitude is somewhat excessive."
Summer Monroe ignored those unusual looks, lowered her gaze and chuckled coldly, then gazed at Stella Monroe’s tearful eyes and asked indifferently, "Mother? Do you deserve that title?"
Stella Monroe had anticipated this response from Summer Monroe, and her expression appeared even more aggrieved.
She wiped away nonexistent tears, choking as she said, "No matter what, I’ve been married to your father for so many years, taken care of him for so long, and when you returned home, I gave my all to care for you. Do you still refuse to acknowledge me as your mother?"
