Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 249 249: I have something to tell you

"You really aren't going to tell me what you and mom were talking about?" Stefan asked as he took the driver's seat and buckled his seatbelt. His eyes followed Ella from the side, hoping for an answer.

Stefan was late for work, and when he didn't see Ella on her desk, he went seeking for her, only to discover that she was in his father's office with his mother.

The surprising news made him rush on his heels, ready to barge into the cabin uninvited and interrupting their talk.

Stefan twisted his words, telling his mother that he came seeking for her as soon as he learned she was in the office, but seeing her with Ella alone made him wonder.

"I told it's nothing that you need to concern" Ella reiterated the same words as previously, and Stefan eventually stopped up asking.

"Well, if you don't want to tell, then I'll assume everything was well between you two. In fact, you both appear normal to me, except for her astonished expression, which I couldn't get out of my mind."

Ella continued to be quiet. It wasn't a serious chat she had with Nancy, but the way she was trying to recollect her emotions felt strange.

She didn't know where the conversation was going at first, but now that she thinks about it, she feels like she spoke a lot more than she should.

'Is she wary of me now?' Ella could not help but wonder. But if she was, she would have been as open as she had always been.

Stefan stole looks from Ella on the somber trip to the restaurant.

"Did she asked you anything about my girlfriend?" Stefan queried, interrupting her stupor, and she responded skeptically.

"Also, regarding my relationship with Eveline. When I told her she was like a sister to me, you know what she said in response?" and he nodded in curiosity.

"She said then I would be your sister too since you consider Eveline one"

Stefan abruptly applied the brakes, halting his car just before the traffic light and snapping at Ella.

"You are not my sister." He yelled, angered by his mother's statements.

"Jesus, things are getting serious now. Dove, I swear, if she comes up with binding our relationship as siblings, I'll jump off the cliff."

"Stefan!" She yelled at the unexpected stop, her heart nearly flip-flopping from the jolt.

Stefan, on the other hand, was shocked by what he had heard. That was why she remained mute throughout, knowing he would panic out if she spilled the beans.
