Chapter 1148: Chapter 1151

Stella smiled and hid the strange look on her face. After she learned that she‘d be making a trip to Ahn City in a few days, she couldn‘t help but think about her messy past.

Miguel Garcia did not notice her thoughts. He smiled gently at her and said, “It‘s my job to take care of you.”

At first, Miguel treated Stella like a sister. However, the more time he spent with her, he found a lot of new emotions in her.

A few years younger than Roger and only twenty years old at the moment, Miguel was too young. Stella was already twenty–five.

She was still very young, but she had gone through a lot and matured from her experiences. She was no longer as childish as before.

“You‘ll graduate from Compassvale in two years. By then, Grandpa Marcus will let you take over the family business. If you want to shist the focus to another country, you‘ll have to go there to tender your cooperation...”

As she spoke, her voice became quieter until it was inaudible.

Miguel seemed like he could read her mind. He put down his knife and fork and straightened his bow tie.

“If you don‘t want to come with me, I can‘t put it off...”

he said to her with a sigh.

Stella shook her head. After a short silence, she told her,” Don‘t let me affect your plan. The people and Ahn City have become things of the past.”

“But the children‘s father is there,” Miguel said. Then, there was silence at the table.

The two children sat in their places and behaved well. Emma blinked her dewy eyes and played with the bread crumbs on her hands.

Stella looked at her helplessly and took out a tissue to wipe it for her. As soon as she leaned over, Emma kissed her directly on the cheek, leaving an oily trail on her face.

Stella gave her a gentle and helpless pat on the head.” You‘re a girl. Why are you always so naughty?”

1 Meanwhile, Elias stood from the side and kissed her on the cheek too. The siblings were not shy and refused to lose. They kissed Stella‘s cheek one after the other. Stella hugged both of them at once.

After a short playtime , Stella turned to Miguel, who sat across the table. She told him, “I don‘t know if you understand how I feel now, but with these two, I feel like I‘m not afraid of anything anymore.”

Miguel looked at her steadily and realized she had spoken those words from her heart. He nodded after a long pause. “Okay. There‘s just one more thing. You have to promise me.”

“About what?”

“He‘s Elias and Emma‘s biological father, after all. If anything happens, I hope I can protect them legally.”

Stella was a little confused about what he meant.

Miguel took a document and handed it to her. “I want to be their legal father.”

Stella frowned and pushed his hand away at once. “Are you crazy? You‘re only twenty!!!”

“I‘m not crazy.”

Miguel fixed his eyes on her. “We‘ll go back to Ahn City. If Weston finds out about this, I‘m sure he won‘t let you go. He might come back to haunt you. I‘ll need a proper identity to justify it. Otherwise, I can‘t let you go back to Ahn City.”

Stella instinctively refused his offer. She had always treated Miguel like family. Miguel‘s face resembled Roger so much that she sometimes treated him as Roger. Stella refused, “No. We can think of something else.”
