Chapter 151
Love After Divorce by BELLA
Chapter 151:
Stella braced herself and followed the man to the counter. âTristan, donât be like this. I will be embarrassed.â
She said, âIf you keep giving me things like this, Iâll have to prepare a gift for you later. Itâll be something!â From childhood to adulthood, this man had helped her a lot. After returning home from abroad, Stella knew what this man thought of her, and she only felt that she was not used to it.
Tristan smiled and said, âItâs better if you keep owing me like this; at least if you canât pay me back.â
She was speechless. This man! What did he mean!?
Stella had no choice but to accept it for the time being. To be honest, Stella didnât like this kind of occasion. She especially didnât like the feeling of being with those people! âLetâs go back.â
Tristan patted Stellaâs shoulder and said, âTake Adrian to the parking lot and wait for me. Iâll tell them.â
âOkay.â
Stella agreed quickly. She wished she could stay far away from the couple! It would be best if she didnât meet them!
On the way, Adrian insisted on carrying his precious clothes. Stella had no choice but to give him the childrenâs clothes that Tristan bought for the little boy.
Adrian took the shopping bag and jumped with excitement. âDarling, who is that aunt just now?â The little fellow asked.
Because Stella had taught the child that when other adults were present, he should remain quiet, the little boy kept quiet all the time. He was clever and didnât interrupt the adults.
âThat...â
Stella paused. âTheyâre my...â
She didnât want to admit that Sophia was her sister. To tell her precious son about that relationship... Stella was even more unwilling! Thus, she lied and answered, âTheyâre just my friends.â
Your imagination thrives at puntocom The little thing answered crisply. His little head began to search for complicated relationships again...
After thinking for a while, he couldnât help asking, âDarling, whatâs the relationship between that uncle and that aunt?â
Stella was speechless.
Why did he ask so many questions that day?
Stella looked down at her precious son and saw that the little fellowâs face was full of innocence and confusion.
Looking at his innocent expression, Stella didnât know if she should reveal this complicated and changeable relationship.
Especially when RK was her precious sonâs biological father.
Stella smiled awkwardly. âI donât know either.â
âHuh?â Adrian didnât believe it. He looked at Stella while walking on the side of the road. He looked at her and then lowered his head to look at the floor. Then he looked at her again and pondered. No one knew what he was thinking.
Stella squeezed the soft, fleshy hand in her palm and asked gently, âBaby, what are you thinking about?â
Adrian, who had been seen through, blushed and shook his head. âNo... Nothing...â
She felt that there must be a question that kept lingering in his mind. Thus, she asked, âWhatâs the matter?â
âDarling, do you like Uncle Tristan more? Or do you like Uncle RK more?â
The little fellow asked curiously.
Stella didnât know what was on the childâs mind, so she asked. Had the little boy been observing her all the time? He just didnât say anything?
Stella lowered her eyes. For a moment, she was stunned by her beloved, yet quirky son and his question. No matter who she liked, she was afraid that it was impossible for her to be with that man.
Stella smiled. âAdrian, what are you thinking? Uncle Tristan and Uncle RK are just my friends.â
In the end, Stella didnât want to impose the adultsâ complicated relationships on the child.
After hearing that, Adrian just replied, âOh,â gloomily. Then he lowered his head and stopped talking. However, in his heart, he was depressed and confused. Ah, he was really worried about Darling!
Stella led Adrian to the parking lot. After waiting for a while, Tristan came over. On the way back, compared to earlier, Stellaâs situation was much more peaceful.
At the very least, there wasnât Sophiaâs presence, nor was there RKâs sharp gaze. He stared at her, giving her goosebumps all over her body, afraid that at any moment her precious sonâs identity would be exposed. âHey? Uncle Tristan, your tie...â
The little fellow pointed straight at Tristanâs neck with a curious expression.
Stella also followed and looked in the direction of the little fellowâs eyes. Sure enough, just now, she had bought the tie, and now Tristan had put it around his neck, pairing it well with his white shirt.
At that moment, Tristan was in a good mood!
He controlled the steering wheel with one hand and adjusted the tie around his neck with the other hand. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. âItâs a gift from Stella; I couldnât wait to try it on.â
Stella was speechless. She didnât know what to say. She had never thought so much...
As for the little fellow, it was not the right time for him to interrupt! He quickly covered his mouth with his chubby hands and snickered.
Tristan raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them and asked, âIs it beautiful?â
His words sounded like he was asking Stella, but also Adrian. Moreover, he didnât pose that question to anyone specific. Stella was so embarrassed that she didnât know whether to reply or not.
After three seconds of silence... âIt looks good...â
âItâs nice!â
At the same time, the mother and son answered together.
Adrian looked at Darling. He thought that Darling didnât intend to reply, so he spoke up. Of course, Stella was afraid that it would be too awkward, so she said that.
When Tristan heard that, the smile on the corners of his mouth deepened. Inside the car, a kind of indescribable harmonious atmosphere spread. It seemed that as long as this man existed, the atmosphere would always make people feel comfortable.
They went all the way to the apartment building. Tristan stopped the car, and Stella was about to get out.
The man next to her stopped her. âStella, wait a minute.â
After he finished speaking, Tristan turned to look at the little guy sitting on Stellaâs lap and said gently, âAdrian, go upstairs first. I have something to tell Darling!â
âOkay...â
Adrian nodded obediently.
After looking around at the two of them with his big blue round eyes, he carried his little school bag, got out of the car with his new clothes in his hands, and went upstairs alone.
After Adrian left, there was an indescribable sense of oppression in the whole car.
Tristan took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a bank card, and handed it to Stella. âThis is yours. Iâm giving it back to you.â
Stella looked down and saw her bank card from the Richard family in Tristanâs hands.
After Stella left the Richard family home and married RK, her bank card had been kept in the Richard family home and had never been touched. In that card, there was some of the pocket money saved for her by Tristan every month since she was a child. In the past, Stella had accepted it calmly, but after knowing the relationship between the two of them...
She couldnât take back that card.
âNo need.â
Stella said, âIt was you who gave me the money. Youâd better take it.â
âYou bought this tie. I donât think you have much money now.â
Tristan opened his mouth and handed the card to her. He motioned for her to take it. âDonât force yourself. Youâre not on your own now. Thereâs still Adrian.â
Stella was speechless.
âThereâs not much money in it. You saved it before.â
Tristan reached out and stuffed the card into Stellaâs hand. âDonât say that you owe me anymore. Since you entered the Richard family, you have owed me for more than 20 years. You canât pay me back with a sum of money.â
âIf you want to return it... You can use the rest of your life.â
Stellaâs heart skipped a beat for no reason, and there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart...
After that, he patted Stella on the shoulder and said, âGet out of the car and go back to rest early.â
Tristan did not give her any reason to refuse but just urged her. Stella knew that she would not be able to refuse. However, thinking about it, the money in the card was her savings from the pocket money given by Tristan since she was a child.
Half of the money was spent, and the other half was saved as private money. It was only about 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, so he insisted on it.
After getting out of the car and saying goodbye to Tristan, Stella went upstairs with a heavy heart...
As soon as Stella stepped onto the stairs on the fifth floor, she saw a tall and a small figure standing in front of her. RK and Adrian stood face to face. Neither of them spoke. They just looked at each other.
One was tall, and the other was short. Standing at the end of the narrow staircase, they looked like they had the most adorable height difference.
âAdrian...â
Stella looked at the man guiltily and asked, âWhy are you here?â RK shifted his gaze to Stella...
âIâll only give you one chance. Who does this child belong to?â
