Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 118
Fia looked at Esme suspiciously.
Esme then whispered, “Don’t get so anxious, Fia. I’m simply getting worried seeing that she’s alone in
here.”
She stopped and said, “We’ve just reached an agreement. Why would I harass her?”
“What kind of agreement did you make, Fia?” Echo asked worriedly.
“It’s nothing important, mom,” Fia said. She didn’t believe in Esme and asked her to leave. “Please
leave.”
“Alright. I’ll come to visit Aunt Echo another time.”
Echo gave a tired smile. She thought that Esme finally had a change of heart.
But when she heard that the two girls had made a deal, her mood instantly worsened.
“Fia, no matter how Esme threatens you, don’t make a deal that will harm yourself, alright?” Cough.
Fia nodded and then rubbed her mother’s chest.
“Don’t worry about me, mom. Take care of yourself.”

“You’re too weak, Fia… In the past, Conrad would protect you. But now, he and Esme…”
She stopped before finishing her sentence and spoke to her slowly. “Listen to me. You don’t have
anything else to give. You cannot let her have Conrad.”
“Mom, why do both you and grandma not want me to divorce?”
Fia couldn’t understand.
“Because we know that he’s someone that you’ve loved since you were a little girl.”
Echo’s eyes began to be filled with tears as she had Fia help her sit up. She then patted her hand as
she held it in hers.
“You’re my daughter and you’re just like me. We stand our ground to the bitter end.”
Fia frowned and said not a word.
“And truly, I stand my ground till my end. That is why I would rather die alone than start a new life.”
Echo seemed to drown herself in her memories. “I kept on thinking… How nice it would be if I had
never met your dad.”
Fia’s heart skipped a beat. She had stopped asking her mom anything about her dad ever since she
could
remember.
She could still remember how, as a child, she would ask why everyone else had a dad but not her.
And every time, her mother would cry.
She wouldn’t be able to eat or sleep properly for the next few days.
“But if I had never met him, I would never have a daughter as adorable as you.”
Following Fia’s arm, Echo’s hand slowly reached up and finally stroked her face.
“My life might be a bit tough, but it’s all worth it.”
“Mom…” Fia didn’t know what to do or say to console her.
She didn’t know what happened between her and that man she met.
“Fia… I know that my days are numbered.” With that, Echo began to cough again.
Fia grabbed her and said, “Don’t talk like that! You’re going to live a very long life! You’re going to stay

Echo’s tears began to roll down and she patted her back. She then whispered, “Your uncle knows who
he is. If you want to find him, ask your uncle Wallace. He’ll help you.
“I went through the same thing. Perhaps, he made you suffer at the time. But once you lose him, you’ll
suffer even more…” With that, Echo coughed even more terribly. She then placed her hand on Fia’s
belly.
Fia was stunned. “…Mom.”
“Yes, I’m useless…. but I’ve never ever entertained the thought of abandoning you. Learn from me,
alright?” Echo whispered into her daughter’s ears.
Fia’s tears began to flow as she held her mother’s hand and trembled.
She knew everything.
“Mom, when did you know?”
Echo smiled weakly. “I’ve walked through the same path as you are walking on now. I know with just a
look. I was simply waiting for you to tell me, but you never did. I’m really worried about my little
grandchild, so I have no choice but to advise you.”
