Chapter 415

Chapter 415:

Most of the time, people paid too much attention to things that were overly practical or realistic, often neglecting many precious aspects of life.

To be honest, the more precious things were, the more difficult they were to grasp. Sometimes, in moments of inattention, they would come quietly, catching you off guard.

For instance, RK’s mother always thought that RK’s father didn’t love her. She believed their marriage was a shackle for him.

However, Mr. Kingston loved his wife deeply, albeit without her knowing.

Although Stella did not know the details of what had happened between them all those years ago, she guessed they must have missed each other very much. It was not easy for them to be together, and they shouldn’t have been heartless to each other due to a little misunderstanding.

In truth, there were many wonderful things, just like RK’s parents. Perhaps they fell in love at an uncertain time, but such feelings are subtle. It might have happened before they even realized it, yet they never acknowledged it.

Sometimes, Stella felt lucky. Although she had been badly hurt, at least she had a happy and carefree life with RK. In contrast, RK’s parents were deeply in love with each other, but they remained unaware of it. They had lived together for many years, yet they didn’t know each other’s true feelings. That might be fate and their destiny. What a pity...

“Then, Grandma raised me. I grew up safe and sound. Later, Grandma passed away, and the RK Group became my company.

Fortunately, the RK Group hasn’t fallen, so I can be regarded as worthy of my grandma’s trust.” RK took a sip of wine as he spoke.

“If you had been here two years earlier, you would have been able to chat with Grandma. It’s a pity you didn’t get to meet her.

She was a very humorous old lady, but always quite strict. In short, she taught me a lot.”

Stella said regretfully, “I heard from Mrs. Cassidy that the old madam was a very temperamental person. I always wanted to meet her, but it’s unfortunate that I never had the chance.”

“It’s okay. I will take you to see Grandma at her grave next year.” Stella nodded dazedly, feeling that something was wrong with his words. “Well, let’s not talk about my family. Let’s talk about your family.”

“My family... I think you should know it very well.” Stella felt that after so many years, Sophia must have told RK about their family. Perhaps he knew more than she did.

“It’s okay. I’ve heard a little about it.”

“To be honest, I haven’t been back to the Richard family for many years. There are many things I don’t know.” Stella scratched her head in embarrassment.

“What about the past? I want to know what happened to your mother before she passed away.”

Before her mother passed away? It seemed that Stella couldn’t remember many things. At that time, she was very young and could only vaguely recall her mother’s appearance. To be honest, she couldn’t say much about it.

“What I can remember the most might be the celebrations and birthdays with my mother. David rarely came home. Except for very important days, I spent every day with my mother and the housekeeper. I never felt lacking compared to the other children.”

“I didn’t know until I heard that they could ride on their father’s back like a horse and that their fathers would accompany them to blow out the candles on their birthday. On New Year’s Day, their fathers would make dumplings with them.”

“Oh, that was when I realized that my life was incomplete.”

Stella smiled as she said, “I asked Mom, ‘Why doesn’t Dad come home?’ She always told me that Dad was busy—very busy. I understood he was busy, but I wondered if he didn’t even have time to eat with us?”

“Later, I gradually learned that he wasn’t very busy; he had another family outside. Many times, I felt he was cruel and unwilling to give my mother and me more care and attention. Although my mother and I lived in the Richard family home, it felt as though the outside world was his real home. We were just strangers with blood relations.”

Stella’s smile became a bit awkward. “I don’t know what happened later... I heard from David that my uncle made a scene at home and cut off all ties with our family. Mom also wanted to divorce David. It turned out that David and Isabella had a child... It was Sophia.”

“When Mom found out, she insisted on a divorce from David. Later, she fell ill from anger and died soon after. They sent me to a boarding school. I haven’t been home for a long time, so I don’t know what happened there.”

“Compared to you, I may be lucky. Although my family is not happy, at least my father comes home. Our family has never missed any celebrations.”
