Chasing The Vengeful Villainous Heiress-Chapter 146: Aren’t you supposed to be in Germany or something?

Chapter 146: Aren’t you supposed to be in Germany or something?

Max got home and on seeing Valerie sitting on the bed with a little smile on her lips, he closed the door slowly, tilting his head in wonder.

"What’s... Going on?" He asked and Valerie chuckled.

"Come." She said, beaconing him with her hand. "I missed you."

Max walked towards the bed and hugged her.

"God, I need this energy." He said and lifted her off the bed. She wrapped her legs around him and he kissed her lips softly. "When did Mom leave?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"A few hours ago." Valerie answered, swiping her hair behind her ear. "Believe me, she wanted to stay longer."

"I thought I’d see her when I got back." He said and laughed. "Guess she held back." He kept kissing her and gently laid her on the bed. "But I sense some sort of happy holo around you." He said, trailing kisses down her neck. "Did something good happen?"

Valerie smiled and said,

"I’m just happy that you came home early." She giggled and then smirked, "Why? Do I need any other reason to be happy?" She asked and he laughed.

"When we were on the phone, I thought you wanted to tell me something." He said and began kissing her neck. "I guess it was all in my head."

"I guess so."

"Did you have dinner yet?" He asked and she shook her head.

"Mhm, not yet." She answered. "I...mhm... was waiting for you." he went down on her and her face flushed. He grabbed her breasts and started kneading gently.

"Hm, is it just me or did they get bigger?" He asked and she chuckled.

"When you suck on them almost every moment, how could they not get bigger?" She asked.

"Hm, is that so?" He grinned. "So I guess they’ll get way bigger if you have a baby now, huh?" He asked and she flinched.

"I... I guess so." She blushed and looked away.

"Haha, are you shy because I mentioned a baby?" He asked, kissing her cheek. "I just can’t imagine how you would be as a mother. I can’t wait."

The glow in his eyes as he said this made Valerie feel warm. He was so looking forward to having a baby, huh?

"Me too." She said and covered her face, "I can’t imagine how you’ll be as a father, holding our child tenderly. But... I’m really looking forward to it."

"Me too, Valerie. Me too. I’m looking forward to it."

Just then, someone knocked on the door, interrupting them.

Max got down from the bed, wearing his shirt, while Valerie covered her half-naked body with the sheets.

He opened the door, only to find Steven at the door with his ever-smiling face, and Max frowned bitterly.

"What are you doing here?" He asked but instead of answering, Steven stared at Max’s chest.

Because he didn’t button up the shirt, his chest was in full display, and Steven, who rarely saw his chest, was surprised. Amazed, rather.

"You sure are fit." He exclaimed and Max immediately started buttoning up.

"Don’t creep me out and tell me what you want." He said, but still, Steven did not speak of his intentions and, rather, tried to look inside the room at Valerie, who was on the bed.

But that was the line Max wouldn’t let him cross.

He grabbed him by the collar and pushed him back.

Steven lost his balance and fell on the floor.

Max walked out of the room and closed the door, cracking his knuckles as he had plans to beat Steven to a pulp for trying to peek at Valerie.

"I’ve been tolerating you long enough." Max said. "But you ought to know your place." He grabbed his collar again, and raised his fist, attempting to punch him when Steven said,

"So, you’re going to hit me now, aren’t you?"

"What?"

It sounded more like a provocation than a question.

Steven held Max’s hand on his collar and smiled.

"Do, go ahead. I made a mistake by trying to look at your wife when she was disheveled, so go ahead and punish me." He said but his words felt so smooth that Max got suspicious.

He let go of his collar, pushing him back and dusting his hands.

"What do you want, Steven?" Max asked and watched as Steven got up to his feet. "Aren’t you supposed to be in Germany or something?"

"Hm, it seems you’ve had your eyes on my movement. But unfortunately, my flight got shifted because of a sudden change in my schedule." Steven answered while dusting the dust off his but and his arms. "Say, our parents have been married for quite some time." He said and took a step closer. "So, do you mind if I call you big brother?"

Max’s face contorted in disgust and he glared at him.

"Don’t piss me off. We’re cousins and that’s what we’ll ever be. Your mom marrying my father’s got nothing to do with me." He folded his arms.

"Oh, but it doesn’t change the facts." He smiled.

Max felt infuriated. What was Steven planning? It was almost like he was stalling for time but what was that about?

His father got married to Steven’s mother, who was also a widow, and it wasn’t because his father fell for her or anything, but Steven’s mother wanted it.

One would say she had her eyes on him even when her husband was still alive.

One could even say she caused her husband’s death just to get her hands on him.

And since Max’s father had no connection to Stewart, aside from his children being of that lineage, he was given a choice. He could continue to receive support from Stewart by marrying into it again, or he could give it up.

Not like he was power-hungry or anything, but he thought of his children. Without proper backing, they may face obstacles.

What was the difference between remarrying into Stewart and marrying some other lady? He decided to take the first choice and that and Steven and Max, who were once cousins, to stepbrothers.

"So," Steven stepped closer, creeping Max out. "Can I?"

’I want to punch him but I don’t know what he’s scheming.’ Max thought. ’I think I don’t need to hear any more words come from his mouth, else I’ll really lose it.’

He turned around and decided to enter his room, but then Steven grabbed him by the elbow, and Max threw his fist, punching Steven right in the face.

"I warned you." Max said. "Why do you have to piss me off?"

Steven held his nose as he staggered back and then he looked at his hand to see blood. His nose was bleeding.

But instead of frowning or cussing out, he laughed. A very annoying one at that.

He looked up at Max with an excited look on his face and said,

"You finally did it. I always wondered how it would feel to get hit by you."

"What are you...?"

"It felt great." Max shuddered in disgust.

"You’re crazy." He said and wanted to go back inside the room when Steven caught his arm again.

"Hit me once more. Come on, do it a second time."

"Get off me, you creep. I knew you had a loose screw but who knew you were this far gone." He shrugged his arm out of his hold. "If you want to get hit that badly, go stand in front of a train."

With that, he walked into the room and closed the door.

Steven touched his nose and smiled with glee.

"You’re weird." He heard Eliana’s voice and looked up, frowning at her. "When you said you wanted me to make a video, I thought you wanted to get some dirt on him but who knew," she laughed mockingly. "You’re just a weirdo."

Steven gritted his teeth, took her hand, and led her to a place where eyes wouldn’t see. He shoved her to the wall, took the camera from her hand and said,

"It’s none of your business." He said. "You do what I tell you to do and that’s it."

"Sure, sure." She said, still snickering. "And by the way, I have a piece of news you would definitely love." She said.

"What is it?"

"It seems you’re going to be an uncle soon." She said.

"What’s that supposed to mean?" Steven asked, and Eliana said,

"Valerie is pregnant." She said, and Steven’s eyes widened. He grabbed her by the neck and strangled her.

"Are you messing with me right now?" He asked. "Where did you hear that from?"

Eliana didn’t struggle. Rather, she held on to his hand, trying to reduce the force he was using to strangle her, and said,

"I...ugh...heard it." She said.

"Heard it? Are you trying to tell me that you’re speaking from rumors you heard around?" He asked, adding more force to his hand.

’I can’t tell you I bugged their room.’ Eliana thought. "What if... It’s... True?" She asked, her face turning red from the lack of air. Steven thought about it for a few seconds and finally let go of her neck.

She fell to her knees and coughed, rubbing her neck.

Right. It wouldn’t hurt to be careful.

"I can’t let her have his child. Everything will be ruined."

"I... Equally don’t want that bitch to have a child of her own." Eliana said and stood up. "I... I can’t let her be happy."

Steven stared at her. Yes, at times like this. Eliana could be useful.

"Once it’s confirmed that she’s pregnant, we’ll have to act." He said and placed a hand on her shoulder. "And by we, I mean you. Got it? You have to do whatever it takes to make sure she loses that child."

"You don’t have to tell me twice." Eliana grinned. "That child will never see the light of day. By all means necessary, Valerie will lose her child."
