When Abraham walked in, he saw Ste holding her phone in one hand and baby things in the other.
Since she was carrying triplets, all sorts of baby supplies had been deliveredtely.
And every time, she insisted on checking them herself.
She was still so young…
In Abraham’s eyes, Ste 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 hisp.
“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 sped her small hand. “What’s this? Ste 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 Ste was so tired she could only manage one.
“My sister just called me. Maybe you should let here back first?” she said.
At the mention of Marie’s return, Abraham nced at her, puzzled.
Ste continued, “She’s been under too much mental stresstely. 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.”

Ste’s heart ached for Maric.

Others might think someone with Marie’s personality wasn’t the type <i>to </i>struggle mentally; but only Ste 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 here back. Honestly, anything involving Dan, I don’t think she should be handling.”
That was Ste’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.
Ste was just about to put away the baby clothes when a servant knocked and stepped inside.
“Madam, ady named Rianne phoned to say she’ll being by shortly.”
“Rianne?”
“Yes.”
Instinctively, Ste checked her call log; there was no record of Rianne’s number, so she must have called while Ste was on the line with Marie.
“Did she say when she’d arrive?”
“In about half an hour.”
<i>She </i><i>came </i><i>straight </i><i>to </i><i>Falvaria</i>? Ste 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 Ste’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 Ste and Madam Evelyn had cracked down hard, everyone here treated Ste with utmost respect.
Ste 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.
Ste muttered.
The moment he spotted her, Eddie rushed forward. Before Ste 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! <i>Wait</i><i>, </i><i>this </i>wasn’t <i>intentional</i><i>; </i><i>I </i><i>had </i><i>just</i><i>… </i><i>tripped</i>! <i>Forget </i><i>it</i>.
He clutched Ste’s legs tightly. “Ste, 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, Ste 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.”
<i>What </i><i>a </i><i>joke</i>. 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?” Ste asked.
“I ran!”
Ste thought. <i>Uh</i><i>… </i><i>How </i><i>much </i><i>had </i><i>this </i><i>kid </i><i>suffered </i><i>out </i><i>there</i>? <i>He’d </i><i>been </i><i>pushed </i><i>so </i>hard he literally ran <i>back</i><i>! </i>
Feeling awkward, Ste tried again to pull her legs free, but Eddie clung to her like a vice.
His stance was clear, unless Ste 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!” Ste cried.
