Seth opened the door of the study which was on the 1st floor. As soon as he opened the door, the main light of the study immediately lit up. He sat down in a huff in his proud chair.“Young Master, wouldn't it be great if Ms. Stella got pregnant soon? I mean you’ll be free from this business marriage, right?”Lexus burning cigars. His face looks frustrated. He looked at Seth and said “You think it'll be that easy Seth?! You think Grandfather will just let Stella go?!”Seth sat opposite the Lexus. He propped up his chin. "Then, what are your next plans?"Seth was curious about what Lexus was thinking. He didn't hesitate to ask his master to allay his curiosity."if Stella can give the heir to the Rodriguez family, of course, Grandpa will defend her," Lexus continued later. He said with an expressionless face that made it hard for Seth to guess what he was feeling.“That means, Mr. Ackerley would want Ms. Stella to bear more than one heir, right?”Seth's eyes blinked repeatedly. He pres
The next day, Lexus goes with Stella to the same restaurant. Stella was curious why Lexus asked her to go to the La Vida restaurant that her husband had acquired. However, she did not dare to ask about it."Young Master, we have arrived," said Seth informed. Seth looked back. He saw Bastian already standing and opening the car door for Stella."Please, Miss!" exclaimed Bastian. He reached out to help Stella get out of the car.“Please, Young Master!” shouted another man opening the door for the Lexus.Lexus comes out with aplomb. Unlike Stella. She looked uncomfortable in the clothes she was wearing.“Stop pulling down your skirt, Steffy! Because you look feminine and pretty in it.”Stella's long hair was tied in a high bun, leaving only her hair hanging down. Her beautiful eyes were thinly made up, as well as the rest of her face. Stella chose light makeup like this because she rarely dressed up in the past.'Even though the makeup is light, it doesn't diminish her beauty. She really
“I heard that your family company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Is the news true, Dad?”After drinking the orange juice, Lexus started the first question for Odolf. He put the glass back in his hand where it belonged. He stared at Stella.“Eat your steak, Darling!”Lexus smiled. Of course, it made everyone who was there aghast.'Oh, what's this? He smiled. This is the first time I saw his smile. I thought he couldn't smile,' Stella said to herself. She was dumbfounded.“Oーokay ….”Stella immediately grabbed her cutlery. She was cutting into the beef steak that the waiter had just brought her. She wasn't good at ordering food, that's why Lexus had control over her."Please eat, Dad!"Lexus exclaimed forcedly. He didn't want to get the nickname son-in-law from Odolf. However, did Odolf dare to say it?"Yes. The steaks at this restaurant are really good. You didn't go wrong choosing this restaurant." Odolf praised his son-in-law. He cut his steak with a smile.'I'm too excited. My hands
'Damn! Why is Lexus still questioning my company? It has nothing to do with him at all,' complained Odolf. He had no intention of answering it. However, the looks in Lexus and Seth's eyes made him uncomfortable.“Drechsler Mart is fine, Lexus. The finances are stable,” answered Odolf.Hearing Odolf's answer, of course, made Stella's eyes widen. She felt cheated by her father. She said, “Didn't Dad say that the company is in need of money?!”Odolf put down his cutlery. 'Why is this child so stupid!' Odolf cursed in his heart. ‘What should I say to Lexus?’"Did Dad say that, Sweetie?"Stella was getting used to Lexus's sweet demeanor. She took a deep breath, then said to herself, 'I feel comfortable when Lexus treats me like a wife. God, if I may be greedy, please let him be like this… at least just this once!’Stella sincerely prayed to God. Will her request come true? Or is it just in her imagination?Stella nodded in response to Lexus. The father was surprised. Odolf started to panic
“Uh? Whーwhat did you say, Lexus?”Odolf never thought he would get a word of warning from his son-in-law. After all, he needed Lexus money. He had to follow Lexus's wishes.‘Does Lexus love Steffy so much now? This is great news. I'll tell Steffy so she switches places with Stella as soon as possible,' thought Odolf happily. 'Turns out Stella's role wasn't all that bad! Lexus easily falls in love with Stella, who he thinks is Steffy. Ha! Ha! Ha!'There was a strange feeling that Stella felt at this moment. She hesitated. She stared at Lexus. 'If he knew that I wasn't Steffy, would he still talk to Dad like that? Maybe one day, he'll throw me out if he finds out who I am!’ Stella couldn't help but think of her twin sister. 'Living in Steffy's shadow is torturous,' she continued.In contrast to Odolf, the man was happy. He unhesitatingly said, “You take it easy, Lexus. I've always treated Steffy really well since she was a toddler.”'What you say is true, Dad,' said Lexus in his heart c
Bastian looked away. He guessed that Lexus was going to kiss Stella. However, not with Seth. He is even more curious about what Lexus will do next.The distance between Lexus and Stella's faces got closer. Lexus touched Stella's right cheek with his nose, causing Stella's eyes to close. The turmoil in Lexus's heart was getting unbearable. Then, he touched Stella's nose with his. Lexus's lips parted slightly as they passed Stella's tiny lips.'Unlucky! What do I do?! I can't make out with him in the car, right?!' Lexus screamed inside. He didn't usually think like this much.Lexus's right hand played with Stella's left earlobe. Then, he motioned for Seth to leave the car immediately. Seth blinked. He opened the car door and got out of there. Seeing this, of course, Bastian did the same thing. Bastian closed the car door again.Stella could clearly hear the sound of Lexus's fiery breathing. With panting breaths, Stella tried to calm herself down.Now, the nose of Lexus has touched Stell
That afternoon, Lexus finished completing its desire. He woke up. He rubbed his eyes. He noticed a woman's hand reaching out to hug his stomach. Lexus turned around and saw a woman who was still asleep.“You look exhausted, Stella,” Lexus said quietly barely audible. “I’ll continue to follow your family game forever, Stella. And as long as it is, you’ll be in my arms. I won't let anyone harass you besides me!”After being satisfied looking at Stella's face, now Lexus tried to slowly raise Stella's hand. Because he didn't want to wake Stella up. He went to the bathroom to clean himself.***After cleaning himself, Lexus left his room. He was about to go to the study to complete some unsigned documents. But before that, he went into the kitchen to find Ella.“Ella!” called Lexus with a scream. He stopped at the kitchen door.There was the sound of women's shoes running. The sound got closer and Lexus guessed that it was Ella's shoes.“Ella!” Lexus screamed for the second time.“Yes, You
Stella continued walking without noticing a pair of eyes watching her. She arrived in front of Lexus’s study. She knocked on the door. Knock! Knock! Knock! “Ohh? Why doesn't Lexus respond to my knock on the door? Has he left the study yet?” Stella took a few steps back. She narrowed her eyes. She said, “The light of his study is still on. That indicates that he’s still in the room.” Knock! Knock! Knock! Stella knocked again on the study door. Driven by high curiosity, she decided to open it. "Hopefully Lexus doesn't scold me," she said worriedly. She opened the door slowly. Clack! “Umm?” Stella muttered as she watched Lexus from the doorway. She stepped inside and approached Lexus, who was at the desk with the computer on. She kept the study’s door open. "You fell asleep apparently." Stella stood beside Lexus. Her eyes were glued to the photo that adorned her husband's desk. “Hah?!” Stella grabbed the photo. She looked at him. "You said that you wouldn't fall in love with
