Chapter 425

Chapter 425:

Stella moved her hand away and didn’t even look at him. “I am going home.” With that, she grabbed her bag and stood up to leave.

RK forcefully pressed her back down onto the chair. He picked up a tissue and wiped the food from the corner of her mouth.

Then, he tightly grasped Stella’s hand. Without giving her a chance to refuse, he dragged her into the car.

RK locked the car doors and watched as Stella repeatedly tried to open the door, failing each time.

Giving up on opening the door, Stella kicked it angrily. “Let me out.”

“I will let you go when I am done speaking.” RK pressed Stella down and fastened her seatbelt. The car then sped through the endless stream of traffic.

Stella simply closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, refusing to look at him. To ease the mood in the car, RK turned on the sound system, and soothing songs filled every corner of the vehicle.

RK parked the car by the beach. When Stella felt the car come to a stop, she opened her eyes. “Why did you bring me to the beach?” RK rubbed his nose and got out to open the car door.

Stella didn’t wait for RK to open the door for her. She opened it and stepped out on her own. She looked at RK cautiously and smiled helplessly. “Why are you looking at me like that? I can’t eat you anymore.”

Stella snorted and turned to gaze at the sea. The ocean looked more like a huge sapphire shining in the night sky, revealing its open and gentle side. She stood with her arms outstretched in the wind, like a bird about to spread its wings and fly.

The faint moonlight fell upon her, making her appear softer than usual. RK couldn’t help but admire her. He stepped forward, took off his jacket, draped it over her shoulders, and hugged her from behind.

Stella’s body stiffened at once, rejecting his embrace. RK pressed his lips against her ear and said softly, “Be careful. Don’t catch a cold.”

Stella broke free from his hold. “Get straight to the point. It’s not your style to beat around the bush.”

Stella was stunned when she saw that it was a hollow red rose. RK lifted her hand and opened her palm, then placed the hollow red rose into it.

Stella couldn’t grasp what RK was doing, so he patiently explained, “The rose plant you gave me has bloomed into a beautiful flower.” Stella’s eyes turned red. It turned out that he still remembered. She calmed herself and replied in a normal voice, “Oh, that’s what you wanted to say.”

“Just marry me, okay?” RK held Stella’s palm so that the hollow red rose would bloom there.

“What did you say?” Stella couldn’t keep up with RK’s thoughts and asked in disbelief.

“Marry me,” RK repeated. He looked at Stella seriously, and she could tell he was not joking.

Stella’s mind went blank, and she questioned helplessly, “To give Adrian a complete family so that our child won’t lack the love of a father or a mother. That’s unfair to the child.”

“I won’t agree to marry you. I will take good care of Adrian by myself.”

“Are you sure you can take good care of him alone? Can you provide him with good things? He will be teased by other children at school. They will point fingers at him and say he’s a wild child without a father.”

“I—” Stella was left speechless by RK’s words.

RK placed his hands on Stella’s shoulders, making her look directly at him. He wanted to touch this woman who had been deeply hurt by him with his enthusiasm and love. He also wanted to thank her for giving birth to such a beautiful son for him.

“Look at what’s in your palm. I want to express my feelings for you. Let’s be a complete family for Adrian.” RK knew that he couldn’t win Stella over alone. Their son was their only bond, the only thing that could keep Stella by his side.

Stella gazed at the sea for a while, her mind filled with thoughts. RK waited nervously for her response, his heart full of anxiety.

He was not this nervous even when discussing business worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Stella lowered her head and stared at her toes. In a muffled voice, she said, “I promise you.”

RK bent down slightly and pressed his forehead against hers. His voice trembled with pleasant surprise. “Can you say that again?”

“I promise you, for Adrian.” Stella repeated.
