"I guess you want to know, what has happened suddenly that Stefan has changed his mind?" Stella asked Ashley with an evil smirk.
Ashley was stunned when Stella's voice zoomed her out of her shock.
"I don't want to know anything."
Ashley said sharply, still showing her attitude. She snatched the fruit bowl and knife from Stella's hand and started slicing the fruits, but her hands were trembling, which said everything about Ashley's condition to Stella.
Even though Stella was furious at Ashely's attitude, but just now her nervousness made Stella smile.
"It's good, and you shouldn't be know anything more." Stella walked up to Ashely, then pulled her towards him through her arms. "Never try your cheap tricks to provoke me or anybody in the house in the future, or else I will not hesitate to reveal your deeds in front of mom. Did you hear me clearly?"
Stella warned Ashley strictly, then left her hand with a jerk, making her stumble. Then Stella strides out of the kitchen after instructing the chefs regarding the breakfast.
"Stella, you cooked delicious food."
At the dining table, everybody was relishing the breakfast and were praising Stella's culinary skills.
"Yes, Stella, you have even made my diet food so tasty. I am loving it." Sarah said, stuffing food in her mouth fast.
"Thank you so much all of you for the warm praises."
Stella said with a wide smile, then looked at Ashley, who was snorting in anger but was helpless to say anything. Stella didn't do anything much but made Ashley do everything.
Stella is not malicious like Ashley, but when she was not revealing her mean exploits to anybody, then this minimum punishment could make her restrain in the future.
"Andrew, I am pleased with my family. Finally, everything has settled down. Stella and Jack had proved that they are elder, they had made Stefan understand the importance of a child in a married couple's life, now everything is normal between Stefan and Sarah."
Julia couldn't control her emotions seeing her happy family, and a few tears of happiness fell from her eyes.
"Julia, it's time to gift them the pendant which belongs to our eldest grandchild," Andrew said.
Andrew tried to remind something to Julia, but it surprised everybody. Stefan and Sarah looked at each other and couldn't help but smiled with pleasure.
"Yes Andrew, I remember, see I have already bought it."
Julia fetched the small velvet box and kept it on the table, making everybody stare at the box with curiosity.
Even Andrew didn't realize that Julia was already so considerate, and she had brought this pendant along with her.
"Sarah, do you know I wanted to give it to you immediately the day when I came to know about your pregnancy, but Stefan's decision made all of us so stunned that I absolutely forgot about it."
Julia said lovingly while taking out the chain with the pendant, which has the Walter family's hallmark on it. She stood up from her chair, circled around the dining table, and stood behind Sarah, making her wear the chain.
Sarah was moved by Julia's loving gesture.
"Sarah, thank you for making us grandparents. Your child will be the first heir of the Walters clan. Dear, be very careful." Julia caressed Sarah's belly.
Amy also stood up from her chair and came towards Sarah. She looked at the pendant, taking it in her hand, and a blissful smile appeared on her face.
"Sarah, this pendant belongs to our ancestors, it's like their blessings for your child. When he/ she will be born, don't forget to make him/ her wear this pendant." Amy not only told her about the pendant, but instructed her carefully, and the entire family had the never-ending smile on their faces.
Today after getting Stefan's concern too, their happiness had no bound, especially Julia and Amy, who wanted to stand up and dance merrily but restrained themselves.
They all were thanking Sarah and after that, they even thanked Stella and Jack because of whom Stefan understood the value of a child in the married couple's life.
Stella and Jack have been married for over three years now, but still, now Stella couldn't conceive, and this is like a pain in their heart, but Sarah and Stefan got this chance only after six months of their marriage if Stefan will not cherish it then nothing can be more unfortunate.
Jack and Stella said the same to Stefan, that he had got this good news so easily so soon and that's why he was not cherishing it, but what if after a few years, you will also yearn for child and couldn't be able to get, then nothing will be more painful in your life.
Stefan noticed their sorrow and realized his mistake. In his unnecessary confusion and uncertainty, he was going to lose the biggest gift of god for which many people are praying. Then after that, not only the baby, in fact, he could have lost his love, his Sarah too.
"Hey guys, will you all congratulate and thank Sarah or somebody will thank me too, after all, I also have equal contribution and hard work," Stefan said playfully and got a smack on his arm from Amy.
Sarah crouched her head shyly, getting embarrassed by her husband.
"Shut up Stefan, you are so shameless."
Julia also scolded Stefan.
He had not only made Sarah embarrassed; in fact, Andrew and Daniel also coughed, listening to Stefan's nonsense.
"How could it be, fight for my right is not my shamelessness, otherwise ask Sarah, could she have managed to conceive without my help?"
Stefan is very naughty. Even five years back in the past, when Stefan before chased out of the house, he was the naughtiest one of all the siblings.
Everyone shook their head and didn't want to argue with this shameless guy anymore. Even Sarah couldn't raise her head in front of them.
Jack sighed seeing Stefan and said, "Alright, let me thank you for making me big uncle, are you happy now?"
Stefan pulled a long face, listening to Jack, and everyone laughed aloud, making fun of him.
The entire family was living the harmonious moment enjoying, but one person was not happy and was smoldering in jealousy.
Ashley had done everything to break this family apart, especially try to sow differences between Sarah and Stella.
In the end, they all are together and happy, everybody is happy except for her.
'Now this is the limit of my patience. I can't see all this anymore. I will not let this family be happy.' Ashley thought with resentment and moved from there while making other plans to deal with them.
After thinking for a while, Ashley's shrewd mind enlightened with a new idea and her lips curled into an evil smirk.
