Glamour and Sass: A Rejected Bride's Revenge-Chapter 75: That Woman

Cecilia really wanted to figure out how she ended up having a child with Steven.

Upon hearing this question, the smile on Steven’s lips immediately faded.

The topic of Alex’s mother had always been taboo for him; the past was still vivid, and even thinking of that woman made him feel a little suffocated.

Moreover, Cecilia had been asking him about that woman again and again. Could it be... she was confirming something?

Was she confirming that he had no relationship with that woman anymore?

This kind of date and atmosphere, along with the previous and last night’s invitations, seemed to emit an ambiguous vibe.

Since she cared about him, she was also anxious about that woman.

It was normal.

He regained his composure, taking a sip of tea before calmly replying, “I’ll never have any relationship with her again.”

Faced with Steven’s response that didn’t answer her question, Cecilia slowly formed a question mark in her mind.

‘How is his answer related to what I asked?’

She spoke again.

“Um... I wanted to ask if you’ve ever done something different, something that contributed to society?”

Now, it was Steven’s turn to be puzzled.

Was she asking if he engaged in charity and if he’s a kind person?

A test of character?

Thinking this, he nodded slightly as Cecilia indeed had a bigger view of things.

“The Lawrence family donates one percent of the group’s earnings every year, and besides, I’ve built two schools...”

Seeing his righteous face, Cecilia quickly reached out to interrupt him.

She felt that if he continued, he might list down his entire resume.

Alas, might as well ask directly.

“Have you ever donated sperm?”

Upon hearing this, Steven almost spat out his red tea.

‘Does this woman’s thoughts jump around so much? What kind of wild language is this?’

“... No.”

Cecilia sighed; her thought was simple. If there were no external factors, it could only mean that the two of them truly had been intimate, yet she couldn’t recall any of it.

“Do you also really not remember what Alex’s mom looked like?”

Steven was taken aback.

‘How does she know I don’t remember that woman’s appearance, and why did she use "also"? Is she really that concerned about me and that woman?’

“I’ve forgotten completely. Moreover, if that woman appeared in front of me, I would send her away without hesitation. She doesn’t exist in my life, and she never will.” freēwēbnovel.com

Every word was sincere and heartfelt.

That was indeed what Steven thought, and even his tone turned icy.

Cecilia suddenly felt chills run down her spine. What did she ever do to make him hate her so much?

Nonetheless, it was better to think about how to get Alex back and have less contact with Steven.

With this thought, she didn’t pursue further. On the other hand, Steven suddenly turned curious.

“So, what about your daughter’s father? What kind of person is he?”

She did not expect him to ask back, not knowing how to respond.

“Um... he’s a very... narcissistic and self-righteous person.”

Yes, indeed, that was her first impression of Steven.

Steven took a sip of tea and suddenly felt a bit superior.

“Narcissistic and self-righteous people are quite annoying; the most important thing in life is to be humble and self-aware...”

Cecilia nodded continuously, agreeing.

“So, compared to him, I’m quite humble, right?”

“... Uh, maybe?”

She smiled awkwardly. It was the first time she had seen someone comparing themselves to themselves.

Only then did Steven realize he was actually starting to compare himself with others, which was a childish move!

“Ahem... we’ve eaten almost enough, shall I send you back now?”

Cecilia finished the tea in her cup.

“No need. I have other things to do.”

He didn’t insist further.

After that, she rolled down her car window to say goodbye to him before driving away.

Actually, she didn’t really have anything urgent to do—she just felt like she shouldn’t spend any more time with Steven.

With them having dinner privately and him sending her home, anyone could easily misunderstand all of this.

Moreover, she wasn’t in the mood to think about anything else now, so it was better to have less contact.

In spite of that, Steven was indeed very considerate and gentle today.

She shook her head to dismiss those unclear thoughts and drove toward Arleston.

Today was the first day of school. Considering that kids might have separation anxiety, the school requested parents to pick up their children at three in the afternoon on the first day, giving the kids time to adjust.

Before Cecilia could even reach the school, she received a call from Emma’s class teacher.

“Hello, are you Emma’s parent? Please come quickly, something has happened to her!”
