The atmosphere of gossip immediately spread throughout the cafeteria. During lunchtime, everyone in the company knew about what had happened between Stella and RK.Emily swallowed a mouthful of food and was shocked by the power of the gossip.How could a scholar know the affairs of the world without going out? She was completely convinced.Emily was ready to finish her meal and immediately go back to tell Stella about that matter. This group of people was really too scary.A colleague beside her poked Emily's arm."Emily, aren't you usually good friends with Stella? Do you know about this?"The surroundings quietened again as if they were waiting for Emily's answer."Hehe, no Stella has never told me about it. How come I don't know? Did her friend make a mistake... Hehe... The president is so awesome, how could he fall in love with a small employee like Stella?" Emily covered the matter up dryly.Everyone was more convinced of the gossip that they had just heard.It's over. Did that m
When Stella went in, RK was resting on the sofa. It seemed that he had fallen asleep from exhaustion with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. It seemed that he had been in pain before she arrived. She dared not to wake him up. Instead, she poured him a cup of hot water and then set it aside to cool down so that it was in time for him to take his medicine after he woke up.Immediately, after she fetched him his quilt and tucked him in. After her eyes scanned him for some time, she found that he seemed that he wouldn't wake any sooner. Perhaps he was too tired, so Stella decided against waiting. She set the medicine and the glass of water on the table in front of him. Just as she was about to leave, he woke up from stirring in his sleep."Well, you didn't bring the medicine, so I..." It seemed that she couldn't cover up the fact that she showed concern for him, so she made up her mind to explain at all. "Hurry up and take your medicine. I will take my leave!""Wait a minute! I have g
She was about to turn him down when RK's gaze stopped her.To be honest, she did not have any clothes in her mind she wanted. She was not a person who was fond of wearing new clothes. In short, she did not want to owe him anything in their fake marriage. Once Sophia recovered, she would leave in peace for France and never return.By then, she would assume as if RK had never appeared in her life.From then on, they were just passersby."Ding."Stella was pulled back to reality by the sound of the elevator.Oh, it turned out that she had arrived at the top floor.The lunch period was relatively short. Else, she might as well visit the hospital to take care of Adrian. If she had known, she would have paid a visit to Adrian even if the time was short. At least, she would not have to find herself facing RK's ugly face.After arriving at the president's office, Stella knocked on the door. In response, no one answered. After another series of knocks, there was still no reply.It just so happ
Stella knew that in the face of RK, she mustn't take his words seriously, but at the mention of the child's custody, she couldn't help the urge to rebuke his words."Stella, I am Adrian's father. Don't I have the right to raise him and protect him?""Is what you are doing protection? I know you want to fight over the right to Adrian's custody, but can't you wait a little longer? Can't you continue the fight after Adrian accepts all this? Do you think that this is for Adrian's sake? If things go on as it, I will not be the only one, but he will hate you as well.""That's impossible! Adrian won't hate me. I am his father!"Hearing the word "father" from RK, Stella couldn't help sneering."Do you think that if I tell Adrian about how his father divorced his mother for an irrelevant woman when his mother was pregnant with him, not to mention compelling her into getting rid of the child, how could you be so sure that he won't hate you? Wouldn't he hate you to the core where he might decide
"Daddy, I want a mommy like Aunt Stella. Aunt Sophia is so annoying. I don't like her. Daddy, will you not marry her? Daddy, she will hurt me when you are not at home."One had to admit that Alia had the talent in complaining. Not only did she praise one, but she also insulted another. Indeed, she was something.Stella felt that she had nothing to say. After a few days, Adrian had been brainwashed by Alia, not to mention how serious it was. He immediately showed his goodwill to RK's side. There were hints of rebellion."Alia, don't talk nonsense." RK interrupted Alia's coquettish act in time.In truth, deep in RK's heart he too felt that Alia's suggestion was a great idea. It was a win-win situation.After dinner, RK ordered the driver to send Alia home before he could have a brief chat with Stella and Adrian. It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that he left the ward with Stella to head home.It was no surprise that RK drove Stella home. On the way, Stella leaned against the
Not long after a simple day passed, Stella received the notice of notification from the court, a letter of authorization, and a letter of evidence.Did it imply that she was about to start a lawsuit?Could it be that the right to Adrian's custody might not belong to her?She dared not imagine such a scene.Tristan came to visit her, informing her about how he had assisted her in hiring a lawyer. She had an advantage in all aspects. There was a rule in the law that after staying with one parent for some time, a drastic shift in the living environment was not beneficial toward the development of the child, not to mention how the parent with no other children held the upper hand in comparison to the parent raising other children.Deep down, Stella knew that she was in an advantageous position.She had no other children, plus she had been staying with Adrian all the while, RK had never stayed under the same roof as Adrian, not to mention how he had Alia, his beloved daughter. Logically sp
"Dad, what's the matter?" Stella sat in the corner of the sofa with her hands on her knees as she raised her head to meet David's gaze.Something was wrong that day. It was very strange. Not only David, but Isabella dared not look her straight in the eyes either. It was not something pleasant to have Isabella not have the courage to meet her eyes."You know that Sophia had a car accident, and her face was disfigured. She is wretched and in a miserable situation." David hesitated, failing to get to the main point.Hearing David's words, Stella was irritated."Also, you know about her wedding with RK. The invention was distributed. If we withdraw the invention cards right now, it won't be doing our families any good.""So, what Aunt Isabella and I were thinking that... You...can you... can you..."David, too, might find that idea so ridiculous, but there was no other way out. He discussed it with Isabella and Sophia throughout the entire night, and it was the only solution they could co
Stella fell asleep while being in her deep memories. In her sleep, she felt as if she had sunk into the deep sea. She floated along with the waves, all the while in a daze. She seemed to be bound by the water and couldn't float up to the surface no matter how hard she tried."Darling, Darling, darling, darling, what's wrong with you? Wake up, darling..."Vaguely, Stella seemed to have heard a child's voice calling out to her. The voice drifted far from the distance as if it had been passed on several centuries ago. She had completely lost her sense of reality.She opened her blurry eyes and sat up in a trance to find Adrian lying prone on the bed, looking at her."What's wrong, darling? Were you asleep? No matter how I called you, you didn't respond." With a pout, Adrian complained to Stella in dissatisfaction."Oh, I am sorry, Adrian! I fell too deeply asleep." Stella stood up from the sofa and found that she had been too soundly asleep. Her right leg was thoroughly numb, stirring he
