Stella did not know what to say in response. The atmosphere turned awkward again. After a moment, Wenham chimed in, "Stella, just accept it as a blessing from my wife."Stella had no choice but to take it and thanked Darcie politely. Edith stared at Darcie for a while before turning to her son and said, "Daryl, have the waiter prepare another set of utensils."Darcie quickly waved her hand. "It's okay, Mrs. Hall Sr., I'm going to leave now. You all have a good chat with Stella." Then, she turned around and said to Wenham, "I'll get a room ready in the house for Stella as soon as possible. I can ask Jaylene to switch rooms with her, too, if she prefers Jaylene's room. I can't wait for Stella to live with us."Wenham looked a little moved as he gently patted Darcie's arm and softly said, "Thank you so much."Darice smiled and replied, "It's my duty."Then, she bid farewell to everyone politely and left.Although Darcie was gone, Stella could still feel like the atmosphere was not a

When Keegan watched Stella walk inside, he wondered if Leighton would beat Trevor right then and there after discovering that she was his cousin. Keegan tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and picked up his phone to call Leighton.Leighton's phone rang after taking just a few steps. He got upset as soon as he saw the incoming call from Keegan.Keegan was not only the ex-husband of Stella but also her current boyfriend. There was no way Leighton would be happy to receive a call from him. However, Leighton answered the call anyway after considering what Keegan had done to help him before."What is it?"Leighton spoke coldly, showing no interest in talking with Keegan. But Keegan was not bothered. He figured Leighton would eventually realize he was far more "affectionate" toward him than his immoral cousin, Trevor."On your left," Keegan spoke flatly.Leighton paused and turned his head to look. Then, he saw the window of a Mercedes slowly rolling down next to them. Keegan was

Leighton was different from everyone else in the room; he had never met Freesia, so he did not share a deep relationship with her. That was why he had not paid much attention to this cousin, who seemed to appear out of nowhere.However, he was quite pleased to have a new cousin in the family. It meant he now had someone to use as a shield if his father ever complained about him again in the future. After all, this cousin did not grow up in his family, so he figured she could never be more outstanding than him. In that way, he would no longer have to be the worst-performing member of the family and be despised by his father.Leighton pushed the door open after adjusting his clothes. Then, he saw his crush sitting in the middle of his family.He was shocked.Stella was stunned too. She paused and was unsure whether she should put the piece of prawn into her mouth or not. Keegan had previously told her about the relationship between Leighton and Trevor, so she already knew that Leight

Seeing Wilfred and Edith's reaction, Stella realized that she had misspoken. She was about to rectify her words when Wilfred said, "We have plenty of fountain pens at home. They're not THAT rare. Besides, it's the thought that counts. I personally think tea leaves are a better choice than a pen."Stella was a bit surprised to hear that. "But, I've never seen a Carpi fountain pen in all life," she said, trying to justify its value through its rarity.Unexpectedly, Wilfred unwrapped the gift box Darcie brought and presented Stella with a Carpi fountain pen. "Here. Take a good look. It's yours if you like it. If you don't, we can go to Royalburgh and pick out one of the many fountain pens in my study. And, if you like them all, I can give you my entire collection," he said.Wilfred's generosity shocked Stella. She tried to decline the offer and said, "That's okay, Grandpa. I'm not particularly skilled in calligraphy. I was just curious."However, Wilfred insisted. "What do you mean? Y

Aldor already knew what Keegan had in mind when he approached him for the custom lighter. Being kind-hearted, Aldor was worried that Keegan might offend Trevor, so he tried to talk him out of it. But, Keegan dismissed his concern and said, "Just do as you're told." Aldor did not expect Keegan to use Leighton as a pawn in his game.Despite being friendly toward Trevor and calling him his brother-in-law, Keegan kept track of his actions and planned his revenge. 'Sorry, Leighton, but I had to,' he thought.Soon after, Stella emerged from the building. Keegan pulled up in his car, and Stella quickly got in. As she fastened her seatbelt, she pulled out three envelopes from her purse and said, "Look at what I got..!"Keegan could not help but smile when he saw how happy Stella was. "Are those from your grandparents?""Yeah, and this one's from Uncle Daryl, and this is from Mr. Sa— I mean, my dad." Stella was still trying to get used to the idea of having such a loving father like Wenham,
