The woman laughed coquettishly. âMichael! You are so naughty. My roommate is still crying in front of the grave! Why donât you go and comfort her?â
The man chuckled immediately. âHow many times have I made you cry? I shall make you cry later.â
âAhh⦠Michael!â
Their laughter could be heard clearly through the door panel. As if struck by lightning, Stella stood still at the roomâs doorway.
The woman in the room was her roommate, who was very close to her.
And the man who was having sex with her was her uncle, Michael.
He was clearly very considerate and caring toward Diana and even swore to Roger that he would treat them like their own children. However, the funeral had just ended, and he was already having sex with her roommate who attended the funeral.
Stella was dumbstruck as she stood in the doorway. Her whole body was trembling. She could not believe that her uncle would do this to her aunt and that her roommate would do this to her!
Bang!
The door sprang open.
The two people on the bed froze.
Michael, in particular, stunned at the sight of Stella at the door, subconsciously picked up the blanket and covered her roommate. âStella, why did you come back?!â
you, Uncle Michael. How could you do this to Aunt Diana?â
The manâs face turned ugly as the woman in the blanket shrieked and leaped into Michaelâs arms.
âDonât blame him, Stella. Itâs all my faultâ¦â
Michael interrupted before she could finish. âDonât be silly. Itâs not.â
Then, he looked at Stella coldly. âSince you found out, then I will be straightforward with you. Donât tell Diana about this, Stella.â
He stared at her intensely with patience. âDiana and ⦠Itâs not like what you think. I will take care of this, youâ¦â
Her eyes were burning with anger. âYou still want to hide it from Aunt Diana?â
Diana had been good to her, and she couldnât take Michaelâs side just because he was a Sealey.
Just as she wanted to take out her phone, Michael grabbed her wrist and flung it violently. âHavenât you caused enough trouble? I am your kin! How can you side with an outsider ?â
âWhat are you arguing about?â
Their argument drew Grandma and Grandpa Sealeyâs attention. They appeared in the doorway with unhappy faces.
When she saw them coming, she started crying. âGrandpa, Grandmaâ¦â
Her parents had been very loyal to them and helped Michael immensely. In return, they were very good to Stella as well.
At least on this matter, she did not think that they would not keep business and personal separate.
Nonetheless, it was her parentsâ funeral. Michael had gone too far.
She could not help but move forward. âUncleâ¦â
âWhat are you fussing about? The guests havenât left. Do you want to disgrace the family?â
Grandma Sealey scolded her fiercely before she could say anything else.
Before she had time to react, the old woman walked up to her and pushed her. âWhat are you yelling for? Do you want everyone to know that your uncle is screwing around at your parentsâ funeral?â
Stella looked at the two people in front of her with consternation. Were they still the most loving grandmother and sensible grandfather of the past?
In the Stardust Mansion.
The woman closed her eyes and mumbled, âGrandpa⦠Grandmaâ¦â
Weston walked to her in his black pajamas and knelt down. He pushed her wet hair off her forehead, frowning. âStella?â
The manâs whisper did not wake her.
She knitted her brows even tighter, and her voice trembled.â I didnât mean it. Donât kick me outâ¦â
âStella!â He increased his volume, and his eyes darkened.â You are only having a nightmare.â
