Chris’s face shifted in disbelief, his brows knitting together as the weight of Stephanie’s words hit him.

He stared at her, utterly stunned by her coldness.

Cancel the wedding? Is she… crazy?‘ Chris’s mind raced, countless thoughts swirling, but they all crumbled in the face of her icy indifference.

His voice faltered slightly as he tried to explain. “She’s sick. Once she recovers, she’ll leave, and we’ll have a bigger wedding”

Stephanie’s lips curled into a sneer, her voice frigid. “Is she sick, or is she pregnant?”

The moment her words hung in the air, the air stiffened, like the weight of her question was too much to bear.

Chris’s eyes darkened, his voice low as he asked, “What do you know?”

Her voice was biting, filled with frost. “Now, you’re talking to me about a bigger wedding. Don’t you think that’s ironic?”

Chris’s face grew even darker, his voice hushed, almost desperate. “She’s not pregnant. She’s sick.”

Stephanie’s gaze was unwavering, cold as ice. “Sick? And you’re the one taking her to the hospital? Am I missing something?”

Her question hung in the air, sharp and unforgiving. Chris’s expression darkened further, and his fingers absently traced the edge of the desk.
