Chapter 125

Chapter 125:

Emily sighed heavily and said, “In my opinion, the relationship between the two of you seems bound to get complicated.” After that, she returned to her room, leaving Stella alone with her thoughts.

Stella didn’t say anything and continued preparing breakfast for Adrian. Once he finished washing up, she packed his things and got ready to take him to kindergarten.

Before they left, Stella noticed her precious son sitting cross-legged on the floor, stuffing toys into his small school bag. The bag was already filled with toys.

“Adrian, why are you bringing so many toys to school? You need to pay attention in class! Leave them here and play with them when you come back,” Stella said, quickly stopping him.

“But I don’t want to!” Adrian whined. “I want to show my classmates! This racing car, this robot, this figure…

Everyone in my class wants to see them!”

“Darling, I’ve almost packed them all!” Adrian said, continuing to shove toys into his bag.

The problem was that his small bag had limited space, and Tristan had given him so many toys that he couldn’t decide which ones to bring.

Stella hurried over, taking out the toys one by one. “Adrian, you can’t bring so many toys to school. At most, you’re allowed to take one. Choose one, and leave the rest here.”

Adrian sat on the floor, looking at the toys in his hand, then at the ones in his bag, and finally at Stella. His big blue eyes were pleading, as if silently asking her to let him take more.

Stella avoided his gaze, trying not to give in, and emptied the bag of all the toys. “We agreed, only one toy. So, which one do you want to take?”

The toys were scattered across the floor, and Adrian looked around before pointing at one. “I want to take this robot. Uncle Tristan played with me using this one!”

Stella was speechless.

The bond between Adrian and Tristan had grown so strong in such a short time. They had only gone to the amusement park together, but their relationship seemed closer than ever.

Why didn’t Adrian show the same excitement for the toys she had given him over the years?

Was it because her gifts weren’t as fancy as Tristan’s? Feeling a pang of jealousy, Stella placed the robot in Adrian’s bag.

It was clear now—selling these toys wasn’t an option. If she did, it wouldn’t be Tristan who got upset, but her precious son.

For now, she decided to repay Tristan’s kindness in some other way.

At the kindergarten, Adrian held onto his robot tightly with one hand, while Stella held his other hand, leading him to the school gate. All the way there, he stared at the toy, completely absorbed.

“Adrian, when you’re in class, you need to focus. Don’t keep looking at your toy, okay?” Stella said gently.

“If your teacher calls me and says you weren’t paying attention, I won’t let you take toys to school anymore. Do you understand?”

Adrian responded faintly, “Alright,” but his eyes never left the robot in his hand. Stella could only sigh as she held his chubby hand, feeling a bit helpless.

Was letting Adrian get close to Tristan the right decision? It seemed like her son liked that man more than she realized.

As they walked, Adrian suddenly spoke up, still focused on his robot. “Darling, can I play with Uncle Tristan after school today? I want him to take me to the amusement park again!”

Stella refused without hesitation. “No, Adrian. If you want to go, I’ll take you. But Uncle Tristan is very busy.”

If she let Adrian spend too much time with Tristan, she worried about what could happen in the future.

Adrian pouted, clearly upset. It was as if Stella had come between him and Tristan, disrupting their bond. “Darling, you’re being mean! Uncle Tristan told me he’d always come and play with me whenever I wanted.”

He held his robot close, as though by looking at it, he could see Tristan’s face. Stella shook her head, feeling torn. Was it good for Adrian to be so attached to Tristan? She didn’t want her son to rely so much on someone else for the affection he needed.

Watching Adrian’s longing for Tristan only reinforced one thing: she had to find a father for him, someone who could give him the love and support she couldn’t provide alone.
