Choosing First 39

Chapter 39 Ensuring That She Obediently Comes Backl 

Cohen’s expression carried a hint of pride, “There are plenty of ways to deal with women like Stella who have no source of income.” 

“Ethan, you take care of Stella for a few days first. After a few days, I will think of a few ways to ensure that she obediently comes back.” 

Ethan ignored Cohen and instead looked at Kaylyn. 

“Kay, you fell down by yourself, why didn’t you tell us?” 

In Kaylyn’s eyes, a fleeting panic flashed by. 

Ethan was not as easily fooled as Cohen and Joel. 

The words she spoke indeed had the suspicion of intentionally guiding everyone. 

She looked at Ethan with teary eyes. 

“I thought at the time that Ms. Sutton had come to apologize to Joel and Ethan, so I wanted to bring her to see you guys…” 

“Maybe I was too impatient, and I went to grab Ms. Sutton. I’m not sure if it was Ms. Sutton who shook off my hand, or if I fell down by myself…” 

Cohen also said, “Ethan, Kay is also kind–hearted. In the video just now, Kay did want to bring Stella to find 

you guys. And, Kay never said it was Stella from beginning to end.” 

At this point, he paused for a moment and muttered quietly. 

“Joel also said it was Stella… Even her own son said so, who could doubt it? Besides, Stella has always been causing trouble for Kay, so it’s understandable that people would misunderstand her. Isn’t it Stella’s own fault?” 

Joel saw the situation and lowered his head, saying, ‘Dad, I’m sorry, I was mistaken.” 

Kaylyn busily said, “Ethan, it’s normal for Joel to make mistakes because he’s still young. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I shouldn’t have approached Ms. Sutton on my own…” Kaylyn looked at Ethan with an earnest gaze, “Ethan, considering the lessons I have already learned, please don’t blame Joel, okay?” 

Joel saw that Kaylyn took all the responsibilities upon herself, and he felt both grateful and aggrieved. 

Kaylyn is really good, and her mother would deliberately provoke her.

Little did they know, although Kaylyn claimed responsibility, she actually shifted the blame onto Joel, completely distancing herself from the matter. 

Ethan’s tense expression softened a bit.“Kay, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you weren’t trying to pursue Stella, you wouldn’t have fallen. Alright, you should rest well first.” 

As soon as the words fell, Ethan’s phone rang. 

As I answered the phone, Roselyn’s anxious voice came through from the other end. 

“Bro, recently mom ran out of her medicine, and Stella didn’t deliver it on time again. As a result, mom’s chronic headache recurred, and she hasn’t come downstairs all day today. It seems to have worsened again. Hurry up and ask Stella to bring the medicine!” 

Ethan frowned, “What does Mom taking medicine have to do with Stella?” 

“Bro, you know, Mom has always had a chronic headache problem. No matter how many doctors. she saw, it didn’t work. Two years ago, Stella brought a medicine for Mom, claiming that it could alleviate her chronic headache problem.” 

“Unexpectedly, after taking the medicine, it indeed worked. Over the years, Stella would regularly deliver medicine to her mother.” 

“This time, it had been over three days since she had delivered the medicine!” 

Roselyn paused for a moment and angrily said, “Brother, do you think she did it on purpose to manipulate mom?” 

However, no matter how much she throws a tantrum, she shouldn’t make fun of her mother’s body! 

After hearing this, Ethan took a long time to say, “You mean she has been sending it for several years?” 

Roselyn said, “Yes, it has been at least two years.” 

“I found so many doctors to prescribe medicine for my mom, but none of them had any effect. What kind of medicine is she taking that works so well?” 

“I’m not quite sure about this, but she said it was prescribed by an experienced doctor. Mom has also consulted a doctor and said there’s no problem with this medication. However, Mom’s headaches have been a long–standing issue for decades, so it will take a few years of taking it to completely cure it.”

At this point, Roselyn became dissatisfied again. 

“Stella was certain that we couldn’t do without the medicine she had brought, so she deliberately took advantage of Joe!” 

Ethan remained silent for a moment before saying, “I understand, I will have her deliver the medicine to mom as soon as possible.” 

“Well, you better hurry up then, damn it. Mom’s health won’t wait for anyone.” 

After receiving Ethan’s assurance, Roselyn finally hung up the phone. 

After leaving Kaylyn’s ward, Stella took Efrain to disinfect and apply medicine. 

Efrain’s wound had already started scabbing and healing. 

But his skin was delicate, and it still looked somewhat shocking. 

Stella carefully administered medication to Efrain, her movements exceptionally gentle, while occasionally asking Efrain if he was in pain. 

Efrain shook his head gently and said, “Auntie Stella, I wasn’t hurt, this small injury was nothing.” 

He paused for a moment and said, “Joel brother didn’t mean it on purpose either.” 

Efrain heard that, half a year after himself, he would start calling Joel “older brother.” 

Without caring in the slightest, Joel disregarded his terrible attitude. 

Stella paused for a moment and looked at Efrain. 

“Don’t you blame him?” 

Efrain shook his head and said, “Since he is Auntie Stella’s son, he is my brother. I won’t blame Joel, and besides, he didn’t mean to do it. He was just afraid that Auntie Stella would be taken. 

away.” 

Stella’s mind was filled with a faint mockery. 

Yeah, Joel was just afraid that his full–time nanny would be taken away. 

Just like he was used to playing with toys, suddenly belonging to someone else, possessiveness 

took over. 

At this moment, Efrain said again, “Auntie Stella, don’t blame Joel brother either, he was just provoked by that bad woman.” 

Stella paused for a moment, “Bad woman?” 

Efrain nodded solemnly, “Yes, it’s the bad auntie lying on the hospital bed.” 

Stella was a little surprised, “You didn’t like her?” 

Chapter 39 Ensuring That She Obediently Comes Back4 

Kaylyn, a woman who liked to pretend to be innocent and was skilled at putting on a show, was very popular with children. 

Efrain said, “She falsely accused Auntie Stella, and I didn’t like her.” 

Stella remembered the video incident, and her expression softened a bit. 

“Thank you and Mr. Burnett, if it weren’t for you both arriving in time, they probably wouldn’t have let me go so easily.” 

“It’s just a small effort.” Finley didn’t care at all.“But you, is it really okay to have such a strained relationship with your husband and son?” 

Stella said lightly, “You saw their attitude towards me, even if I am kind to them, it won’t change anything. Moreover… I have already decided to get a divorce.” 

Finley raised a deep smile and said, “If you want to win the divorce case against Ethan, it might not be that easy. Do you want me to recommend a powerful divorce lawyer to you?” 

Stella thought for a moment and did not refuse Finley’s proposal. 

“Thank Mr. Burnett in advance.” 

It would probably be difficult for her and Ethan to stay together and part on good terms, considering their past. 

But with the Dodson family’s influence, she realized that winning the divorce lawsuit was not going to be an easy task. 

Efrain’s eyes lit up as he heard the words. 

Great, Auntie Stella could be his mom after she got divorced! 

The next day at noon, just as Stella was about to leave, she suddenly received a phone call from Ethan. 

Stella originally didn’t want to answer, but thinking that Ethan might want to talk to her about divorce, she answered the call. 

Just as the call was connected, before I could even speak, the man’s deep and indifferent voice took the lead. 

“My mom’s recurring headache has flared up again, please immediately deliver the medicine.”
