Is This Regret?

The first thing Stella Judd did after she was reborn was kneel in front of her parents to beg sincerely, "Mom, Dad, if I have to marry into the Chilton family, I want to marry Eric!"Her parents were surprised. "Don't you like Noel, Stella? Don't you remember that Eric is Noel's uncle?"Something flashed across Stella's eyes as she was reminded of a memory. She spoke sadly, "I know what will happen if I continue liking Noel. I can't ever be with him."Mom, Dad, I've never asked you for anything. As a heiress who has enjoyed a luxurious life in this family for as long as I can remember, I know it's my responsibility to uphold this marriage alliance. This is my only request, so I hope you can agree to it."Stella's head turned red from hitting on the floor as she bowed. Her parents sighed softly and pulled her up. "If you've made your decision, we'll visit the Chiltons to talk about this. Eric Chilton is powerful and highly ranked. He might not agree to marry you. You have to be pr

Stella locked herself in her room for the next few days. She refused to leave.After her parents found out about Noel's ridiculous actions, they were grateful that they did not marry Stella to him. They insisted on going to the Chiltons, but Stella finally left her room to stop them.She did not want to cause any trouble when the wedding date was near.After talking her parents out of it, she fetched a design from her room.Stella did not lock herself in the room because of Noel. He was nothing to her now.She had stayed inside the room to design a wedding ring for Eric.Stella knew how valuable 'Reach for a Star' was, and she wanted to return the sentiment. She wanted to repay his love for her.She handed the drawing to the housekeeper and instructed him to find an expert to carve out her design.However, the wedding ring never arrived, even after the expected delivery date.Stella went to inquire and found out that Noel had been there to pick up some jewelry. He noticed the

Stella finally looked up at Noel. There was a tinge of excitement in her voice, which was a change from her coldness in the past few days."Your uncle is back in the country?"Noel was relieved and smiled when he saw Stella back to normal."That's right. Are you so eager to marry me? Don't worry. I'll be at the wedding. Just stop acting like this in the future. You can play hard to get a couple of times, but it's annoying if you do it too often," Noel said as he opened the car door.Stella knew it was pointless to explain anything to him. She stayed in the car and said, "I want to go home. I want to put on some makeup and change my clothes."Noel figured she must love him a lot to put so much effort into this dinner. She probably wanted to leave a good impression on his uncle. He raised an eyebrow and agreed to something she wanted for once.After Stella got ready, they headed to the old Chilton mansion.Many people were attending the dinner, and they were not surprised to see S

Stella received a message one day before the wedding.It was short and to the point. "I'm going back. See you tomorrow."The message had no name or remarks, but she knew who it was from.It was him.Eric Chilton.Her unsettled heart finally settled down, and she had a good night's sleep.A fleet of cars from the Chiltons arrived at the Judds at ten in the morning the next day. Cameras followed behind them.This was a marriage alliance between two major families, and it was about to be streamed live for the entire city for the public to watch.Noel got out of the car and went upstairs. He was stunned when he saw Stella in a white gown.For some reason, he felt deja vu and was out of sorts for a while.It was not until someone gave him a gentle reminder that he reached out his hand to her.However, Stella did not take it. She looked at him calmly and said nonchalantly, "You came to the wrong place, Noel Chilton. You should be seated with the guests."Her words infuriated Noel

Stella reacted happily in front of both families."We're a family from now onward."Her words were a heavy weight on Noel's heart.Noel clenched his fists hard and stared at the person in front of him.Stella could tell that he was angry and upset, but she did not care.She hugged Eric's arm and asked him about the next item on the itinerary with a smile.Eric looked at the time. When he looked up at her, his usually cold and distant eyes looked gentle."I was late because the flight was delayed. I'm sorry to keep you waiting for me so long. You must be exhausted now. Let's go back to the old mansion and rest first. Tomorrow, I'll take you to have dinner with the elders. Is that alright?"The Chilton elders laughed and teased them when they heard this."Wow, getting married has changed you. You really know how to dote on your wife.""You've always been such an uptight person, Eric. I didn't know you could speak so sweetly to anyone."Old Mr. Chilton looked extremely happy be
