Chapter 574

Penulis: Warm Cocoa
“Yes, but it was too risky. What if something had gone wrong? Like this time, those people had guns. You didn’t see that coming, did you?”

Stephen’s brows were furrowed, his voice thick with worry. “Do you have any idea how dangerous that was? Do you know how I…”

Before he could finish, Stellar threw her arms around him, resting her head against his chest.

The steady thud of his heartbeat pounded like a drum, loud and relentless.

Every beat echoed his worry for her.

Stellar melted. “I’m sorry for making you worry. It won’t happen again, I promise. Even if I ever have to take a risk, I’ll talk to you first, alright?”

Her rare tone of softness, almost pleading, completely disarmed him.

Whatever frustration he had vanished in an instant.

Not that he had ever been truly angry at her to begin with.

“You...” he murmured, sliding an arm around her waist and pulling her closer.

His voice was low and hoarse as it brushed against the top of her head. “I’m just glad you’re okay.”

    All eyes were on him.No, more precisely, they were on Stellar linking arms with him.She quickly withdrew her hand, a flicker of nervousness and shyness crossing her face.Even Stephen, for once, was at a loss for words. He had no idea how to begin.Just then, Keith stepped in to smooth things over. “Everyone, he actually came to talk to me about a business matter. We won’t interrupt your family gathering. Sorry about that.”He shot Stephen a look, and the two of them politely excused themselves before leaving.Laurence couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t quite right.But now that his daughter was home, he had no time to dwell on anything else. The family was too immersed in the joy of reunion....In the garden outside the villa.It hit Stephen only then that Stellar had finally found her mother and could now enjoy the love between a mother and daughter. He felt genuinely happy for her.“You really couldn’t hold it in, huh?” Keith’s mocking voice broke the silence. “

    Stellar had no idea about the open and secret battle going on between the two men. She was completely immersed in the joy of finally having her mother back.She held onto Autumn’s arm, reluctant to let go even for a second.“Mom, what exactly happened back then? How did you end up becoming the daughter of the Lane family?” she couldn’t help asking, her curiosity taking over.Autumn gave her a brief account of what she knew.“As for what happened before the explosion, I don’t remember a thing.” Her expression dimmed as she spoke.“It’s all right,” Martha quickly comforted her. “It doesn’t matter if you can’t remember. Now that we’re reunited, and I know you’re alive, that’s all I need.”“Yes, your safety is what matters most,” Laurence echoed with a gratified smile.But Stellar couldn’t help thinking—if her mother had survived such a disaster, maybe her father had too.She didn’t dare say it aloud for fear of upsetting Autumn’s memory, but the idea had already taken root in her heart.

    "Yes, Mommy's here. My sweet Stellar, my daughter!" Autumn held her tightly, as if that long-empty place in her heart had finally been made whole.The family had finally reunited.They gathered in the villa’s living room, the air filled with warmth and joy."Miss Arianne, it’s really you!" Even Mary was too emotional to find the right words.Though the memories were gone, Autumn still felt an inexplicable, intimate familiarity with her.After more than twenty years apart, there was so much to say, stories and feelings spilling into every moment.Keith felt truly happy for his aunt.But the thought that Stellar was now officially his cousin stirred a complicated mix of emotions in his heart.Suddenly, he stepped forward with a suggestion. "Since the whole family is finally together, why don’t I take a group photo for everyone?""Yes, let’s do that!" Martha answered enthusiastically, linking arms with her daughter.Stellar, sitting beside Autumn, leaned her head against her mother’s sho

    "Keith, you're here." Autumn quickly wiped away her reddened eyes.Laurence and Martha also composed themselves, pushing down their emotions.Laurence, who had met him a few times before and had taken a liking to him, couldn’t help but remark, "Keith, it seems like we were meant to be family.""Yes, I suppose we really are family now." Keith smiled, his expression relaxed. "But have you thought about how you're going to tell Stellar?""We…" The elderly couple looked uncertain, clearly nervous.Autumn was even more at a loss, feeling that even revealing the truth would take tremendous courage."If you trust me, leave it to me. I’ll go pick her up now," Keith offered.In the end, the Rivers family agreed unanimously.…Late morning.Stellar was busy in the lab when she got a call from security, saying that Keith was waiting for her outside and seemed to have something important to discuss.Her heart tightened. She quickly handed over the tasks she was working on and rushed out, only to

    Martha was already in tears, unable to speak through her sobs.It was Laurence who finally found his voice, though hoarse, and said, “We haven’t made a mistake. Autumn, you are our biological daughter, the one we thought we lost twenty-six years ago. Your real name is Arianne Rivers.”The moment that name fell, a rush of familiarity surged through her, deep and overwhelming.Autumn’s heart pounded uncontrollably.It was as if her soul had finally found its way home.Her eyes burned, and a tear slipped down her cheek.At that moment, she no longer needed any proof. She believed them.Half an hour later.The three of them sat in the living room.Laurence and Martha slowly explained everything that had happened.“...After that tragic car explosion, we truly believed you and your husband had died. We were devastated, burying our own child nearly destroyed us. “If it weren’t for the four children we adopted, who helped us manage the business and stayed by our side, we wouldn’t have made it

    Annoyed by the unfamiliar number flashing on his screen, Alex hit decline without hesitation.But the phone rang again.By the third time, his patience snapped. He finally answered, ready to lash out, only to be cut off by a voice speaking in heavily accented English.“Mr. Hall, instead of chasing after a woman who clearly doesn’t care about you, why not crush her underfoot? Once that happens, you’ll be the one in control. You can have her any way you want.”Alex froze. A chill crept down his spine as he scanned his surroundings, eyes narrowing in suspicion. “Who are you? Have you been following me?”“Of course not. I’m someone who wants to help you,” the voice replied coolly. “A woman like Autumn Lane, who doesn’t know what’s good for her—don’t you want to teach her a lesson? Make her submit?”A calculating gleam lit up in Alex’s eyes. “What exactly do you want me to do?”“I’m looking for a partner. If you’re interested, I’ll send you an address. Come find me tomorrow.”Without wai
