Chapter 160
Love After Divorce by BELLA
Chapter 160:
âHowever, after all, you are brother and sister. In the future...â
âStella, she went too far. I am her brother, so I should talk to her.â
Anyway, no matter what she said, she couldnât stop Tristan from protecting her. Since she could remember, to protect her, Tristan had argued with his mother and sister more than once.
âDonât worry. If RK wants to compete with you for the custody of Adrian, he might not win. First of all, he did not want this child at all. Second, although his financial situation is stronger than yours, Adrian has been raised by you for so many years and has a deep bond with you.
Even if the judgment is given, the right to raise the child should be given to you. In this case, most of the time, custody is awarded to the mother. In a situation like yours, most importantly, he wants to marry Sophia. He has a daughter; he canât win unless Adrian takes the initiative to ask to live with him.â
Tristanâs analysis was like a reassuring balm given to her, and Stella suddenly stabilized. She even felt that it was really like what Tristan said: in the end, she would still have custody of Adrian.
Yes, aside from the fact that he was better than her in terms of financial and social status, what else did RK have that would make others think that Adrian was better off with him?
Seeing that she looked better, Tristan was secretly worried. He feared that by then, RK would use all sorts of means. It was just that under normal circumstances, if RK had the means to get the judge on his side, Sophia would definitely lose.
Maybe Stella got up too early and just now, RK had made her both physically and mentally exhausted. When Tristan drove her back, she fell asleep.
When they arrived, Tristan couldnât bear to wake her up.
Looking at her sleeping face, he couldnât help but think of the feelings he had for her over the past six years. Six years! Did she know how much he loved her?
If he could see her again this time, he would definitely protect her and not allow anyone to hurt her, not even Sophia or his mother. âStella, I hope you can marry me. I will definitely give you and Adrian a home.â
âI will treat him as my own child.â
LÉtÑst chαptÑrs ín gí¶líovÑâÑ.Ñí¸m âIf you are afraid that we will have children after you marry me and Adrian will be sad, he can be the only child.â
âStella, if only I were the person you have been longing for...â
Stella, who was fast asleep, was awakened by his whisper. However, she didnât dare to open her eyes, so she pretended to be asleep. She felt embarrassed and awkward. She also couldnât help but feel sad. Yes, sometimes she also thought that it would be great if it were Tristan whom she liked.
Even Emily couldnât help but get jealous because of Tristanâs kindness to her.
Because he loved her, he had never looked at another girl for so many years.
Even though she had Adrian, his love for her had not changed. Now, he was even willing to do things for her and Adrian, who was not even his child.
âStella, we are here. You had better go home and sleep. If you sleep in the car, you will hurt your back.â
He didnât want her to pretend to be asleep.
The reason why Tristan did not expose her was that he was afraid she would be embarrassed. He knew her well.
It was not the first time that she had pretended to sleep in front of him since she was a child. The reason why she did so in the past was to tease him.
However, now she did so to avoid the topic that she didnât want to talk about.
âHey, did I fall asleep? How long have I been asleep? Tristan, you must be busy today. Go back to the hospital to work. I am fine!â With a guilty conscience, she changed the subject. Stella got out of the car; however, Tristan was worried about her.
He got out of the car and said, âIf you donât mind, Iâll go in with you. I took leave from the hospital in the morning.â Could she say that she minded?
In the morning, not only did he confront RK, but he also sent Adrian to school. He was the one who had protected her for so many years. He had told her countless times that he didnât mind. How could she shield him from entering her house?
Seeing that she was in a dilemma, Tristan burst out laughing: âI canât let you carry your luggage in by yourself. I will leave in a while.â
After hearing that, Stella let out a sigh of relief. She thought that he would stay there and not leave. Then, if she fell asleep and left him in the apartment, it would not be good.
The moment they returned to the apartment, Stella poured a cup of warm water, and Tristan drank it in a hurry. âCough! Cough!â
Seeing that he was choking, she didnât know whether to laugh or cry. âTristan, why are you like a child? Are you that thirsty?â
âMen are like children in front of the women they like... Stella, as I said, I donât recognize you as my sister. I am the man who is courting you!â
After a while, Tristan held the cup of water in his hand and looked at her with a serious look in his deep eyes.
âTristan... If... If you donât mind then... after RKâs matter is settled, I will think about it then.â
