Stella was taken aback when Charlie Jr. landed a job just a day after going job hunting. They were dining at an upscale restaurant in the city center when he mentioned it. "You must be surprised that I got a job so easily," Charlie Jr. observed as he noticed the look on Stella's face."Indeed, I am," Stella responded, beaming. "In this tough job market, finding a good job with substantial benefits is no small feat."Charlie Jr. proceeded to recount his day to her, including their visit to White Group and his surprising appointment as the company's president, a position he held before his coma and had now resumed.Stella's face lit up with joy, and she congratulated him with a smile. "Congratulations, Charlie Jr."Chuckling, Charlie Jr. teased her about her expression, saying, "Haha! Look at your eyes."Hand in hand, they strolled down the streets after an enjoyable conversation at the restaurant.As Charlie Jr. gazed at Stella, his heart swelled with the certainty that she was the on
Stella appeared distressed as she furrowed her eyebrows, and Margret's face transformed with anxiety upon realizing she had misspoken. "I'm sorry if my question made you uncomfortable. I simply wanted to learn about your childhood and how you met my son. I hope I'm not asking too much," Margret said with a smile, attempting to alleviate the tension.Stella's eyes lit up as she reminisced about the time Caleb first approached her while she was sitting beneath a tree. It was a memory that she held dear and would never forget. Margret clicked her tongue and asked, "Did you happen to attend Garden High School?"Stella's expression twitched at the question. Her mother had not had the means to pay for her schooling, let alone for an elite institution such as Garden High School. Her medical studies had been sponsored by Doctor Kira.As Stella spoke, she informed Mrs. Charlie, "Just so you know, my mother wasn't wealthy, and I attended a public school." Margaret paused, her brow furrowed as
Charlie Jr. was taken aback when he looked at the photograph. His siblings were identical to him, except for the one on his mother's right side. It was difficult for him to accept that he wasn't the one on the left side.He muttered, "No," revealing his unsightly expression. Margret noticed his reaction and became concerned. She asked him what was wrong, but Charlie Jr. hesitated to tell her the truth.He knew that if he revealed the truth about Stella and Caleb, his mother would try to dissuade him from getting married. So, he shook his head and said, "Nothing, Mom."Margret noticed his furrowed eyebrows and sensed that something was amiss. Charlie Jr. took a deep breath and excused himself, saying that he would be back later.Margret felt a wave of panic as Charlie Jr. turned on his heel and strode purposefully towards the exit. She knew where he was headed and it filled her with dread."Junior, please stop!" she called out, but it was too late. Charlie Jr. had already left the hous
Charlie Jr. pleaded with his mother, Margaret, and her expression changed dramatically as she hesitated to reply. Eventually, giving in to his emotional pleas, she sighed and reluctantly agreed, "Alright."Charlie Jr. wrapped his arms around Margaret in a tight embrace, overjoyed with her decision. "Thank you so much, Mom," he exclaimed gratefully.Margaret hugged her son back before leaving his office, feeling uneasy and sighing heavily until she reached her car. After contemplating for a while, she instructed her driver to take her to the hospital.Upon arrival, Margaret discovered that Stella had taken the day off. Undeterred, she inquired about Stella's address and drove to her home to find her.Stella was on her way to buy sugar when she spotted Margret. Margret approached her and asked if they could talk. Stella hesitated but eventually agreed. They sat down on a bench under a tree, and Margret got straight to the point. "Stella, I need to ask you a favor."Stella was curious an
Madame Agnes hung up the phone with an excited look on her face, piquing Charlie Jr.'s curiosity. "Grandma, what's got you so happy?" he inquired."It's your brother, dear. He's back," Madame Agnes replied, waving her hand dismissively. "You can go now."Charlie Jr. nodded and left the mansion, intending to head home. However, he felt uneasy and decided to drive to his father's house instead.As Charlie Jr. arrived at his father's house and stepped out of the car, he could hear voices coming from inside. With a furrowed brow, he made his way towards the main hall and entered the living room. His gaze swept around the room and then settled on Caleb, causing his entire body to tremble in shock.Charlie Sr. was the first to notice his son's presence. "Junior, it's good to see you. Your brother has just returned from the border. Come and meet him," he said.Margret smiled brightly and added, "Your brother is the youngest general in the history of our country. It's truly remarkable."Tryin
Caleb approached Stella with a happy expression, but she was in a daze as she stared at him. To her surprise, they looked exactly alike. Suddenly, a painful memory came flooding back to her when she met Charlie Jr. at the hospital years ago, and he didn't remember her."Stella, do you still remember me?" Caleb asked eagerly as he approached her.Just then, Charlie Jr. coughed, interrupting them. "Hey bro, this is my wife Stella," he said.Caleb's expression darkened as he looked at Charlie Jr. and then turned back to Stella. "What happened? You promised to wait for me," he said, his tone full of confusion and hurt.Stella's heart trembled as she struggled to understand what was happening. She quickly asked the first question that came to mind. "And what is your name?" she asked Caleb.Caleb furrowed his eyebrows, taken aback by her question. He hesitated for a moment before responding, "It's me, Caleb. Don't you remember me?"Stella's face showed evident shock as she looked back and f
Celestine paused his flute playing and turned to face the figure before him. He was momentarily stunned by Stella's beauty, feeling as though she was the most exquisite lady he had ever laid eyes upon. The fireflies dancing around her only added to her charm, making her utterly irresistible.Furrowing his eyebrows, Celestine tried to place where he had seen this face before. There was something familiar about it that he couldn't quite grasp.Similarly, Stella stood frozen, her heart racing as she felt a different kind of connection with this person who resembled Caleb but possessed a refined handsomeness that even surpassed that of his brothers. As she gazed at him, she couldn't help but wonder if he was one of the triplets. But why did she feel such a strong and unique attraction towards him? Her thoughts became muddled and chaotic.Celestine furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as he looked at the beautiful lady in front of him. "Who are you? Do we know each other?" he asked, feeling
The atmosphere was tranquil, and the soothing notes of the piano filled the air. All present were entranced by Celestine's performance, and not a single person dared to disrupt the spell he had cast. As he played the final note, the sound faded away, leaving fifteen seconds of absolute silence. The audience remained lost in the music's beauty, not wanting to shatter the enchantment.Suddenly, applause erupted, but no one knew who had started it. It quickly spread, and everyone joined in, clapping with enthusiasm. Stella glanced at Caleb, who was silently berating his luck. How could he compete with Charlie Jr. and Celestine for a woman's affections? The situation was a tragedy.Stella turned to Caleb and asked, "You know how to play, right?" His heart sank as he had used Celestine's musical talents to impress Stella before. Trying to maintain a serious expression, he responded, "Of course."Stella was surprised but pleased to hear this. She hadn't expected Caleb to know how to play th
