Chapter 626

Chapter 624:

Ruben looked at the emptiness in his arms. He didn’t know whether to laugh or do something else. As soon as Emily returned, she went straight back to her room.

Adrian, who was sitting on the sofa, was stunned when he saw Emily in such a hurry.

Early the next morning, Stella sent Adrian to Seventeen’s house. It was Adrian who insisted on being with Seventeen. He said that she didn’t need to take him to school in the future and that he would be fine with Seventeen.

Stella didn’t agree at first; after all, it wasn’t good to trouble Seventeen. Besides, she didn’t know what kind of person Seventeen was. If he had any bad thoughts, she would worry about Adrian.

In the end, she couldn’t stand Adrian’s pestering and finally agreed.

Stella sent Adrian to Seventeen’s house. When she went home, she saw that Emily had not gotten up yet. Thinking that Emily would be late for work if she didn’t get up, she had no choice but to go to Emily’s bedroom to call her.

Stella knocked on the door, but there was no sound coming from inside. She could only push open the door and enter.

“Emily, get up!” Stella walked to the bed and patted Emily gently.

Seeing that Emily still didn’t respond, she thought that Emily shouldn’t be sick, should she?

Thinking like this, she touched Emily’s forehead and found it very hot.

Stella immediately went out and poured a cup of warm water. She quickly found some medicine to relieve the fever, but she didn’t expect that Emily would have a high fever.

Stella took good care of Emily. After thinking for a while, she felt that she should call and ask for a leave.

She wanted to call Manager Bailey to ask for a leave, but when she realized that she didn’t have his number, she had no choice but to call RK.

Lаτєѕτ chɑρτєrѕ ιn g풶lɳovєlѕ.ςoм Seeing that Stella had called him so early in the morning, RK thought that something might have happened, so he immediately picked up the phone.

“Hey, RK. Emily and I wanted to ask for a day off.” As soon as the phone was connected, Stella explained her reason for calling.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen to you?” RK became nervous when he heard that Stella was going to ask for leave.

“I am fine. It’s Emily who has a high fever. I have to take care of her.” Stella didn’t think too much about it and told RK the reason.

When RK heard that Stella was fine, he relaxed and agreed.

Stella went to check on Emily and found that she was a little better than before. She covered Emily with the quilt and then went out.

Stella went to the kitchen to have a look. She wanted to make some porridge for Emily. Otherwise, what if Emily felt hungry when she got up?

Stella returned to her bedroom and changed into casual clothes. Just as she finished changing, she heard a knock on the door.

She wondered who would be knocking in the morning.

Curious, Stella opened the door.

“Ruben?” Stella didn’t expect Ruben to come.

“Good morning, sister-in-law. Emily, is she alright?” Ruben asked as he walked inside.

Before Stella could answer Ruben’s question, he had already entered Emily’s bedroom. She figured it must have been RK who told Ruben about Emily, so she didn’t say anything. She closed the door and went to the kitchen.

As soon as Ruben arrived at Emily’s bedroom, he touched her forehead.

“Wake up, Emily. Are you feeling unwell?” Ruben called to her softly.

“Hmmm? I want to sleep,” Emily mumbled, still in a daze, but all she wanted was to continue sleeping.

“Okay, then go to sleep,” Ruben tucked Emily in, bent down, and kissed her forehead, and then went out.

“Sister-in-law, go to work. I will take care of Emily,” Ruben didn’t forget the expression on RK’s face when he mentioned taking care of Emily. It was clear that RK wanted Stella to go to work.

Stella thought for a moment and nodded.

“Remember to make porridge for Emily.” Stella took off her apron and handed it to Ruben.

“Okay, got it,” Ruben nodded, put on the apron, and walked into the kitchen.

Stella looked at Ruben’s back in the kitchen and felt relieved. Then, she went back to her bedroom to change her clothes and get ready to go to work.

As soon as Stella went downstairs, she saw a familiar car. “Stella, I’m here to pick you up,” RK said, noticing Stella coming down the stairs as he opened the door and walked out.

Stella frowned. Without saying anything, she walked past him.

“Was it you who told Ruben that Emily is ill?” Stella remembered that she had only told RK and no one else knew about it except him.

“Well, he can take care of his girlfriend by himself. You don’t need to take care of her,” RK replied, his tone casual.

RK wouldn’t admit that he was jealous. He just felt uncomfortable at the thought of Stella cooking for others and taking care of them. When he remembered how Stella didn’t take care of him when he was sick, he felt unhappy.

Stella was speechless. She didn’t expect RK to be so childish. “Let’s go. We’re going to be late for work,” she said, walking to the car and opening the door.

RK didn’t say anything and got in as well. He waited for Stella to fasten her seatbelt before starting the car.

To be honest, after Stella entered the car, she regretted seeing RK start the engine.

She was in RK’s car going to the company. If someone saw them, it would probably stir up gossip about their relationship. After all, it had been hard for her to calm down in the past two days.

“Forget it. Let’s take things as they come.”
