Chapter 273 You Can Leave

The woman shot a nasty glare at Bella's belly and spat out, "I hope your baby dies."

Bella's heart clenched at the woman's words.

The woman's eyes were burning with hatred, like there was some deep grudge between them.

A young guy pulled the woman away, but not before he turned back to give Bella a menacing look, also full of hate.

When Bella went inside, the woman's curse kept replaying in her mind, making her feel uneasy. So when she talked to Zachary, she was a bit distracted.

Zachary noticed and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bella forced a smile. "Nothing."

Three days later, it was Thanksgiving.

As it got dark, Oliver went out to buy groceries and cook dinner, telling Bella to wait at the stall. He'd come to get her once he was done cooking.

But Thanksgiving was all about family gatherings, so by evening, most people had gone home, and business was slow.

Bella decided not to wait for Oliver and closed the stall early, slowly pushing the cart home.

As she reached a quiet area, a group of men suddenly stepped out of the shadows, blocking her way.

Seeing their unfriendly faces, Bella got on guard.

She said, "Want to buy some barbecue? Sorry, I'm closed for the day. Come back early tomorrow."

She tried to walk around them, but one of the guys grabbed her roughly.

Up close, Bella realized it was the same young guy she had seen in prison. Bella asked, "What do you want?"

Normally, Bella wouldn't be scared in a situation like this, but now it was different. She was pregnant and close to her due date, so she didn't want to fight unless she had to.

The guy tilted his chin arrogantly and sneered, "You're carrying Zachary's baby, right?" Bella got it. The hatred in the eyes of the young guy and the middle-aged woman that day had to do with Zachary.

She didn't answer, but he didn't need her to. The fact that he had found her meant he had already done his homework.
