Chapter 149

Chapter 149:

Stella quickened her pace, having an indescribable feeling in her heart. She didn’t know if it was because of a woman’s jealousy or something else. Now, since she returned to the country, all the information around her was about that man. Not only that, but that was also the case in a shopping mall.

“I’ll go.”

Stella tried not to hear what the person behind her was saying, but she still heard a low male voice. Then, Sophia said anxiously, “Didn’t we agree that I would buy it for you?”

“No need.”

The man still spoke in an indifferent tone.

Stella stopped thinking about them and tried to focus on something else. Instead, she went to the area where the children’s clothing was… With just a few glances, she saw Tristan and Adrian who were coming to the children’s clothes. However, there was a shopping bag in Tristan’s hand!

The shopping bag had the store’s logo, so it was obvious that they had just bought it!

“Uncle Tristan, are you tired of carrying my clothes? Do you want me to help you carry it?”

As Adrian spoke, he looked at the things in Tristan’s hand. It seemed as if he thought if he looked away, the clothes would disappear! When Stella saw this, her heart filled with anger! She quickened her pace…

“Adrian, what did you buy?” She glared at the little boy. When Adrian saw Stella coming over, he immediately hid behind Tristan. He was afraid that Darling would scold him in the next second!

Tristan shielded the boy as if he was protecting him and said with a faint smile, “I saw an outfit that would look quite good on Adrian, so I decided to buy it for him.”

When the little guy heard that, he immediately nodded his head like a spring. He said repeatedly, “Yes, yes…”

Stella glanced at the little guy. It didn’t matter if he forced Tristan to buy clothes for him or if Tristan wanted to buy clothes for Adrian. But no matter what, Tristan had bought clothes for the boy!

It wasn’t that Stella didn’t know how expensive the clothes in that shop were! Moreover, the salesperson also told her that the cheapest clothes there were more than six figures!

Just great…

As soon as she returned the favor, the man took her to buy clothes…

Stella said, “No! Adrian has a lot of clothes at home! You don’t have to buy them anymore. We are still in the store, so return it. It’s okay if she owes him once. However, if she owes him one after another… She couldn’t afford it! She couldn’t wait to punish the child on the spot!

Tristan said, “It doesn’t matter. No matter how many clothes there are at home, it doesn’t matter if there is one more.” His words were very faint and calm, as if she was the one in the wrong.

Stella wanted to say something but couldn’t. Even if she wanted to return them, she would have to get the man’s permission. Stella had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept it for the time being.

However, she was still thinking about what she owed him. She could not help but say, “Tristan, you don’t have to treat Adrian like this…”

Although they were brother and sister in name, after Stella learned of Tristan’s other feelings for her, she had always felt guilty in her heart.

In the past, she owed this man. But now, if he wanted to bring her and her son along, she didn’t know how to repay him!

Tristan forced a smile and said, “Stella, you don’t have to feel that you owe me. I did everything for myself.”

Stella paused and looked up at him. She saw the man in front of her bow his head and whisper in her ear, “For myself, I hope that one day you can accept me…”

Stella was speechless.

Stella’s face turned red for no reason. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart. She owed him something, and she was also grateful to him. She didn’t know if this man was used to being good to her when no one else had cared about her. Only Tristan cared about her.

There was no one else.

“Tristan…” Stella called out in embarrassment.

Tristan smiled and said, “As I said, it has nothing to do with you. Don’t blame yourself, or you will make me feel guilty.”

He spoke gently, with a warm smile on his lips. When Stella looked into the man’s eyes, as long as he existed, she felt as if he was like the warm sun surrounding her. Stella remained silent and did not respond.

“By the way, what did you buy?” Tristan’s eyes fell on the small shopping bag in Stella’s hand and asked. After that, he could only think of something. “Are you going to give it to Dad?”

Stella had never given a gift to Tristan since she was a child. Even if it was Tristan’s birthday, she had never given him anything.

That was because he never wanted to give her a heavy burden. So when Stella asked him what he wanted for his birthday, he would always say, “I don’t want anything; I don’t lack anything.”

Over time, Stella believed it!

Later, as long as it was Tristan’s birthday, Stella would not give him anything. She would only wish him in person, “Happy birthday.” That was in contrast to her own birthday. She would not hesitate to suggest to this man that she wanted this and that. In the end, Tristan would buy a lot of things for her as birthday gifts.

Stella looked at the item in her hand. Then, she looked at the shopping bag in Tristan’s hand. All of a sudden, she felt that her gift was going to be much shabbier!

Stella held the item stiffly and said awkwardly, “It’s… for you. It’s just a small gift I bought casually…”

Tristan couldn’t help smiling.

“Is that so?”

That was the first time she had given him something. Tristan was both amazed and curious!

Stella nodded and said in a low voice, “I just thought that when I was a child, I never gave you anything. Just now, I saw that the tie was not bad and felt that it was very suitable for you. Hence, I bought it.”

Stella lied. Tristan’s faint smile remained on his face.

Stella handed the item to him and said, “Open it and have a look. See if you like it or not.”

“Okay,” Tristan replied faintly.

When he took the thing from Stella, he added, “This is the first gift you gave me. I’ll like whatever you give me.”

Stella pursed her lips and didn’t know what to say.

On the other hand, the little guy who was standing by the side giggled when he heard that.

“Oh! It turns out that Stella bought a gift for my brother!”

Sophia’s voice came from behind them.

Stella turned around and saw Sophia holding RK’s arm. The set of clothes that she wanted to buy had already been packed up, and RK was carrying the bag.

Sophia raised her eyebrows and said, “Stella, what do you mean by giving my brother a tie? I heard that if a woman gives a man a tie, it means that she wants to secure the man’s heart!”

Sophia either intentionally or unintentionally emphasized the last sentence. It made Stella feel very embarrassed.

She swore that she didn’t know that was what it meant! In short, she had bought a tie because that was the only thing she could afford in that shop.

However, when the man in front of her heard it, the corners of his mouth were raised even more, and he touched the tie in the bag with his fingers. He said with a faint smile, “Thank you, Stella!”

“Uh… you’re welcome,” Stella replied awkwardly.

She lowered her head. For a moment, she didn’t dare to look at the man in front of her.
