Chapter 170

Chapter 170:

“Oh, you are smarter than I thought. This is your last chance. Whether you can get him in here or not is up to you.”

The man raised his eyebrows and smiled. This made Stella think that she shouldn’t have met this man!

Thinking about how she could still get her salary, Stella threw caution to the wind. After she opened the car door, she headed straight for Aden.

The cold rain fell on her arm as she ran to him. When she saw the man’s pale face, her heart suddenly ached. Aden, whom she knew before, was not like this.

He was a frivolous and noble young man who had survived in this world without becoming corrupted or disillusioned. But Alice’s death had changed everything.

“Aden, get in the car with me,” Stella reached out to him, her expression equally horrible. Even though her voice was loud, it sounded as soft as a mosquito’s in the thunder and rain. Aden just looked at her as if he hadn’t heard her and ignored her. It was Stella’s turn to panic.

Her salary was on the line here. She was a parent, and she still had a son at home to raise, so she had to spend money every day. Even if that weren’t the case, as a friend, she couldn’t just ignore him.

“Aden, if Alice finds out that you ended up like this, she will feel terrible! You are her only brother. Ever since you both were young, you doted on her the most. She told me this herself! Now, come on!”

She shouted in a hoarse voice, suddenly becoming emotional. Seeing that he was still indifferent made her so anxious that she was about to cry. For her, he was Alice’s only brother. She didn’t want him to keep dwelling on Alice’s death and be depressed all day long.

“Aden, don’t be stubborn! I am begging you! Please!”

Compared to getting her salary, Stella cared more about his emotions and attitude. In the heavy rain, she called his name over and over again and reached out her hand to him. “Let’s go. Get in the car with me!”

No one knew how many times she shouted, but she finally had no idea what to do.

With a loud bang, she collapsed in front of Aden. She was drenched, and every inch of her body was numb from the rain. Aden was shocked. He quickly picked her up and said, “Stella... Stella...”

There was no response. He quickly approached the car with her in his arms. He opened the car door and placed her in the back seat.

He stopped in his tracks and looked at the drenched Stella before getting into the car—the car he hadn’t even wanted to look at for the past six years. The moment the door closed, RK drove to the hospital.

After pretending for a few minutes, Stella couldn’t help but sit up!

“You lied to me!”

Aden’s expression was terrifying. As Stella sat beside him, she bit her lips in a panic. “Aden, please don’t be mad. I couldn’t think of any other way to get you in the car. Aden... It’s raining so heavily outside.

If you were to stand there getting drenched for too long, you might catch a fever. Think about Alice! If she were still alive, would she want you to see her like this?”

Her words were very tactful, and her voice was soft, as if she was afraid of touching his sore spot.

“Don’t say her name! Where were you when something happened to her, and where were you after that? Stella, you have no right to be Alice’s friend at all. I may hate RK, but I hate you even more!”

“At this time, I was—” Stella wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. She couldn’t say anything. It was as if he had touched her sore spot. Back then, she was no better.

“On the day of Alice’s death, you locked her up in the RK mansion... What else are you hiding from me?”

Aden seemed to have gone mad all of a sudden. He almost stood up to grab RK’s neck, but Stella blocked him and scolded him angrily, “Aden, don’t vent your anger on others. I know you have been very heartbroken because of Alice’s death.

I am the same as you. I have never forgotten about her in the past six years.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. It was Adrian.

Stella frowned, but she had no choice but to answer the phone.

“Adrian, I can’t pick you up myself because I’m busy with work. Remember to eat well for dinner, and don’t hesitate to ask someone to buy snacks.”

Her voice was so gentle that it sounded completely different from before. Aden was very surprised. When he heard her words, he thought he had heard them wrong. He didn’t expect Stella to have a child...

He looked at RK and suddenly calmed down. When they divorced, Stella had suddenly disappeared. This was the first time he saw her after six years. He didn’t expect her to be with a child.

What’s more, he didn’t expect that they would meet again on such an occasion.

The three of them were in such a sorry state. After her call ended, the car became much quieter. Rather than being quiet, it was better to say that it was dead silent.

She felt a little embarrassed. Did she scare them by talking to Adrian just now?

RK was the first to break the silence. “Stella, who picked up my son from school?”

“Adrian is not your son. He is mine and mine alone. This has nothing to do with you!”

She was annoyed by RK’s words. As soon as she said it, she remembered that he had asked her to get rid of the baby six years ago. “It seems that I have missed a lot of things. You two had a kid together!”

When Aden said this, his mood calmed down a lot.

“Aden, tell me what you think. This man is shameless, isn’t he? Back then, he said that he wanted me to get rid of the child. I didn’t want to, so I lied to him and told him that I got rid of the child.

After that, I raised the child all by myself. However, after he found out that the child was his, he wanted to fight for custody. He even said that he was going to file a lawsuit! He has a daughter and a fiancée. What right do you think he has to do that?”

Stella seemed to have dragged Aden in to be the judge. She pulled him along and acted as a commentator in a fit of resentment.

Aden was happy to get involved in this matter, and he quickly said, “RK, you are such a glutton! If you want a son, go and have one with Sophia. Also, don’t you already have a daughter? Why do you have to make things difficult for her?”
