Chapter 600

Chapter 598:

“My name is Alice. I believe we will meet again, Seventeen!” Although Alice was curious about such a strange name, she didn’t ask him before he left. Instead, she told him her name, believing that fate would bring them together again.

“Seventeen... His name is Seventeen. Tristan, don’t you think that’s a very strange name? Who would use numbers as names?”

Alice raised the corner of her mouth slightly. The thought of the man called Seventeen made her very happy.

“Yes, it’s very strange,” Tristan agreed, noticing Alice’s smile and raising the corner of his mouth in response.

“Tristan, can you tell me about her?” Alice turned her gaze to Tristan, eager to know what kind of girl could captivate him so completely.

Tristan thought of Stella, and his smile slowly softened. “She is a very quiet girl, like you, and a good mother.”

“Mother?” Alice looked at Tristan in confusion, struggling to believe that the woman he loved was already a mother to a child.

“Well, Adrian is already seven years old. He is her child. If you meet him, you will certainly like him,” Tristan explained, unable to hide the tenderness and indulgence on his face when talking about Stella and Adrian.

“Adrian,” Stella called gently with a smile.

“Who is me? Why does it sound like Darling’s voice?” Adrian woke up in a daze.

“Adrian, it’s time to get up. The early birds have insects to eat,” Stella said, pinching Adrian’s nose to wake him up. “Darling!”

Adrian opened his eyes to see Stella in front of him, and he couldn’t believe she was talking to him. “My eyes! The Darling is here!”

Stella touched Adrian’s head and reassured him that it was indeed her. “Darling, how are you? Can you speak? Can you hear me?”

Adrian looked at Stella with his big blue eyes wide open in disbelief. “Yes, it’s alright. Otherwise, who is talking to you now?”

Stella smiled at Adrian.

Ⓜⓞⓡⓔ ⓤⓟⓓⓐⓣⓔⓢ ⓘⓝ ⓖⓐⓛⓝⓞⓥⓔⓛⓢ.ⓒⓞⓜ “Darling is cured! Adrian is very happy!” Adrian realized that Stella was well again. He joyfully threw his arms around her neck and burst into tears.

“Darling is cured! Why is Adrian crying? He should be happy, not sad.” Stella patted Adrian’s back, trying to stop his tears.

“Well, Adrian, don’t cry. You should laugh,” Stella encouraged him.

Adrian choked on his sobs. He didn’t want Stella to see him cry, but he couldn’t hold back the tears.

Seeing that Adrian still wouldn’t stop, Stella simply patted him on the back and didn’t say anything further. She knew that during this time, Adrian had been filled with worry and fear. Now that everything was fine for Stella, she wouldn’t let Adrian be afraid anymore.

“RK, are you saying that my sister-in-law is cured? Can she hear and talk?” Ruben looked at RK in disbelief. How could Stella suddenly make sounds? It was unbelievable.

“Ruben, if you don’t speak, no one will treat you as a mute,” Emily remarked unhappily, surprised by his reaction. Did he not want Stella to be okay?

When Ruben heard Emily’s words, he immediately fell silent. He couldn’t afford to offend this little girl now.

RK smiled to himself as he watched how frustrated Ruben was. It seemed someone would be able to take care of his unreasonable brother in the future.

“Look at you, you’re crying like a cat!” Stella said, wiping Adrian’s face.

Adrian saw Stella smiling in the mirror and just curled his lips without speaking. He wouldn’t admit that he was crying like a cat.

Stella helped Adrian get ready and took him to have breakfast. Holding Adrian’s hand, she walked over to RK and the others and sat down.

Stella picked up a piece of strawberry cake and handed it to Adrian.

Looking at Emily and Ruben’s expectant eyes, Stella could only smile helplessly. “Emily, Ruben, you two don’t have to keep looking at me like that.”

As soon as Stella spoke, Emily and Ruben reacted.

Emily stood up and carried Adrian to the seat where she had just been. Then she sat down next to Stella, looking at her in disbelief.

Ruben wanted to push RK over, but when he saw RK’s expression, he could only sit still and look at Stella with wide eyes.

Adrian seemed to have no reaction to it all and continued to eat the piece of strawberry cake that Stella had given him. “I am cured!” he announced.

Stella looked at the two of them helplessly. “I’m feeling better. Aren’t you two happy for me?”

“Stella...” Emily said, her eyes filling with tears.

“Stop, stop!” Stella exclaimed, playfully slapping Emily’s face. She didn’t want to see Emily cry; she had just coaxed Adrian and didn’t want to comfort another person.
