Chapter 130 Conceiving a Child

“There’s no need to change anything. If Matthew likes you, he likes whatever your character is, and if he doesn’t like you, even if you change to be exactly like the person he likes, he still won’t like you!”

After saying that, Miles went upstairs.

Jane felt that what he said was quite reasonable, but she was also quite frustrated about it. Stella no longer had the desire to continue talking, so she casually chatted with Jane a bit more before Jane left. Then, Stella went upstairs to find Miles lying on the bed, holding the iPad and watching it.

Stella’s face tightened as she walked over. Since Miles had long been suspicious of her and Matthew, she felt a little inferior. Hence, she approached Miles and sat on her knees next to his bed. “I-In fact, there is nothing between him and me!” Stella lowered her head and spoke.

“With him? With who? I didn’t say there was anything between you two either.” Miles put down the iPad and turned toward Stella. At that, Stella’s face turned slightly red. When she thought about it, she felt that she should not tell Miles what happened in Murdough. After all, Matthew seemed to deliberately go to Murdough that time, so the more she talked about this matter, the worse things might be.

“Miles, it’s really nothing. We just have common interests, that’s all. I like men who are manly, while Matthew is too gentle by nature, and that does not meet my interest!” The latter sentence was more or less a fabrication, but she also wanted to make her own statement more realistic.

“Am I different from him in this respect?” Miles asked. Stella nodded, hoping that he would not be angry with her. Despite him still feeling upset, he could not say more on this matter. He was afraid it would have the opposite effect, and his slightest inattention would cause Stella’s heart to grow toward that person.

Moreover, the most critical point was that Matthew was a man who was excellent all-around.

Originally, Miles was ranked first as the most eligible bachelor in Hollowcrest, but since Matthew’s divorce, his popularity had been slowly rising and recently looked to exceed Miles. Women could only look up to Miles because he was cold and not realistic, but Matthew’s affectionate nature had won him plenty of female fans. Although he did not wish to deliberately please women, women increasingly felt that he was a warm man and an ideal person to get married to, while Miles could only be a ‘dream lover’ kind of guy. This was the difference between him and Matthew. “I have to go abroad on a business trip for a few days, so be good at home,” Miles said to Stella, then pinched her cheeks.

Stella nodded and leaned into Miles’ arms.

Yulia had been thinking about Stella. Last time, Stella had said that her period was abnormal, and then she and Miles had not announced news of any pregnancy, which made her overthink. So, she went to the hospital where Stella often went and read the case of Stella’s visit, then realized that Stella’s condition made her unable to conceive easily.

Then, Yulia smiled sinisterly. She was cousins with Stella, and she had connections in the hospital, so it was easy for her to get Stella’s medical records. Moreover, she felt that she had to go all out and ride on the momentum of getting rid of Yvonne to also get rid of Stella. Yulia was a very scheming person, and whether she could marry Miles in this life depended on this opportunity. Next, she gave Stella’s medical records to the hotel where Adele was and did not step in herself. Every time, she indirectly did what she did and never needed to appear in person. Since someone else would set things up for her, Miles could not blame her at all. Therefore, she felt that she was simply a genius.

A descendant was something that all the big families valued, so Yulia had a good idea of what to do.

Later, Adele made an appointment with Stella. Now, Stella was already numb to the matter of seeing her. In the cafe, the first thing Adele said when she saw Stella was: “You’ve done it with him so many times. Does he use protection?”

This made Stella surprised. First of all, this made her feel humiliated, and second of all, she did not know what Adele meant.

“What do you mean?” Stella froze. Adele was happy to see that Stella’s emotions had been affected, so the conversation would be more fruitful.

“Do you know the importance of descendants to a big family?” Adele asked. Realization instantly dawned on Stella, for she finally knew Adele’s purpose of coming to see her. Previously, she hadn’t thought about this question, and at that time, she thought nothing about it, only thinking that there was still a long time for her to keep trying. But now, it seemed that her stomach hadn’t moved a bit after quite some time. Seeing Stella’s pale face, Adele felt more and more confident.

“The Grant Family has had only a single heir for three generations. Miles’ mother gave birth to him at the age of twenty-five, and Miles also wants to have his own children. So, Miss Johansson, I would like to know how you are so bold as to manage to be so calm around Miles? There’ll be no one to inherit tens of billions of family assets, and the Grant Family would not have any heir. Is this what you want to see?” Adele casually handed Stella’s diagnosis results over.

Sure enough, Stella’s face turned as white as a sheet. Never had she thought there would be so many people staring at her belly. Stella knew long ago that big families placed importance on having children, and she had seen many of them checking a potential daughter-in-law’s ability to give birth beforehand. If the woman could not give birth to a son, then they would keep on getting pregnant…

Initially, Stella had already felt that this was her disadvantage, but once Adele talked about it, she felt that this matter had become very serious. Her heart felt anxious and chaotic; after all, she also wanted to have her own child. But after seeing the conclusion of ‘difficult to conceive’, Stella felt uncertain about it.

“The fact remains that a big family will initiate a marriage for the sake of an offspring, but they can also initiate divorce for the lack of children! Life is simply so cruel. Miss Johansson, you don’t feel anything now because you are not yet old enough!” After saying that, Adele walked away. Stella sat there

dumbfounded. She did not think Adele could say anything important, but this time, she was wrong. What Adele said happened to hit the soft spot in her own heart.

After Miles came home that day, Stella was already in the living room, eager to beg him. Frowning slightly, Miles asked what was wrong. Then, Stella raised her head and said pleadingly, “I want to get pregnant with your baby!”

Stella’s desperate look could not conceal the panic in her eyes, so Miles knew what she was concerned about. Immediately, he pressed her to the sofa. This time, the two tried almost all positions, and in two hours, Miles came three times all into Stella’s body. Later, Stella was exhausted, and her hair was scattered all over her, causing her to look both delicate and sexy.

As Miles hugged her, her head tilted back and dripped with sweat. Her body was very sore, and her suggestiveness caused Miles’ heart to beat erratically. But for some reason, Stella’s heart kept feeling like it lacked something, and Stella herself felt that she was getting impatient.

After Miles left the country, Stella went to Murdough. Recently, she was busy running between Hollowcrest and Murdough. Because a batch of women’s clothing had to be customized and it required some mink fur collars, she might have to go to the northeast to order them. This was a batch of high- grade clothing, and the collar was the key part, so the requirements for mink hair were particularly high. As she needed very fine and high-grade mink hair, it became a top priority for her to go to the northeast to purchase it.

Of course, it was also because of what Adele had said that made her feel particularly unhappy, and so she wanted to go somewhere else to take a break.

After Miles left, she kept using the pregnancy test to see whether she was pregnant, but all the results showed negative.

Stella felt like she was going to collapse. She understood that even if two people loved each other, the two would have much less commonality in the future if there was no child. Also, without a child, it would ultimately be regrettable. In fact, Miles’ love would definitely be lesser, and the two would potentially grow farther away because of this issue.

Stella went to the northeast and told Miles about it. Then, Miles said the weather in the northeast was cold, so she must be careful. As it was winter now, the snow was very thick. He also said that he would return early, lest Stella got into an accident.

Stella laughed at him and said that he was worrying too much. After all, the security was so good, so how would any bad situation happen? Because that customer’s minks were raised in the deep mountains near Dartfoot, Stella had to go into the mountains to find them. And because of this, only now, when Stella was there, did she realize what Miles had told her before about being careful was true.

She wore very thick clothing and thick boots, but the waist-high snow still made her feel that the northeast was really a magical place indeed. After seeing the minks, Stella ordered an amount of mink fur to be sent to her when the time came, and she specified that she wanted pink mink fur.

On the way back, she took a photo to show Miles, claiming that she had never seen such snow before. However, Miles was returning by plane at this time and did not see it in time. When Stella came to Dartfoot, Matthew called the store, asking where Stella had gone.

The sales assistant answered truthfully, “Dartfoot.”

Matthew immediately felt his eyelid jumping. How daring could this woman be? How dare she go to Dartfoot alone? How bold.

Then, the sales assistant told Matthew why Stella went to Dartfoot. Finally, Matthew vaguely remembered that he seemed to have told Stella before that there were minks in the northeast that

produced good fur that could be used in the future on clothing. At that time, it was just an offhand remark.

However, Matthew could not sit still and hurriedly booked a plane ticket because he knew that the terrain there was very dangerous.

Stella was walking with that customer when going down the mountain, but a gale blew unexpectedly halfway down the road. As Stella grew up in the south, she had never experienced such bitterly cold wind, and the snow was so heavy that she felt she would be buried here.

Suddenly, Stella stumbled and fell halfway down the mountain and rolled down. Although it was not painful, her face had just scraped on a branch, and it was bruised. The customer held her up and told her to be careful. But before she could stand, she stumbled again and slipped on an even more precipitous slope; the cliff was very steep indeed.

At that moment, Stella had a feeling that she was done for.
