Chapter 262

Chapter 262:

“Well, well, well. I knew I wasn’t mistaken. Rene, you are the one I can depend on,” Grace said happily.

“Alright, Grandma, I’ll hang up now if there’s nothing else. You should go to bed early.”

“Okay, okay. Visit me when you have time. I’ll call Stella too,” Grace smiled kindly, clearly hoping to push the two of them to spend more time together. RK was speechless.

Grace was determined to push Stella toward him...

After hanging up, Grace felt refreshed and relieved. She even felt much better physically. From the looks of it, Rene had feelings for Stella. As long as he accepted Adrian, everything would fall into place.

However, she was completely ignoring the real issue—Stella. If the heroine didn’t agree, no one could force her. The main issue remained the same, but Grace felt it was just a matter of time.

As for RK, after hanging up the phone, he immediately felt as tired as a small monster who had just invaded Earth. The old woman’s intentions were good, and it was unexpected how much Grace trusted him. He was grateful for her trust, but love and feelings had to be mutual. Even if he was willing to take care of Stella for the rest of his life, she might never agree. After all, her resentment toward him ran deep.

He didn’t know how to redeem himself in Stella’s eyes. It wasn’t about making her submit to him, but rather about being able to speak with her on equal terms, without any bitterness.

This was something he might not be able to achieve for the rest of his life.

Forget it, whatever Stella wanted, it was up to her.

That night, Stella kept sneezing. Of course, she didn’t know anything about her grandmother’s conversation with RK, but a woman’s intuition can be oddly accurate. She had a feeling she was being “sold out.”

Meanwhile, Emily had heard that Stella had been discharged from the hospital and was furious. Over the phone, she expressed her frustration, saying she would head to the hospital to sort it all out. At noon, she stormed over from work.

Because of Adrian’s illness, Stella hadn’t gone to work for several days, and she didn’t know what was happening at the company. Were people already gossiping about her absence?

L푎tеst chαptєrs in g풶l퓷ovєℓs.헰헼헺 As soon as Emily entered the room, she shot a fierce glare at Stella. However, with Adrian present, she couldn’t fully express her displeasure, which left Stella speechless.

But that subtle expression didn’t go unnoticed by Adrian, who was as sharp as ever.

“Aunt Emily, what’s with that look? You’re not allowed to bully Darling!” Adrian declared, his little voice filled with authority. No one dared to disobey him, except for Emily, who was even more unreasonable than he was.

“Hey, little fellow, what are you talking about? When I first met Darling, you weren’t even in your mother’s belly yet!” Emily retorted.

“If I wasn’t in Darling’s belly, where was I?” Adrian asked curiously.

That question stumped Emily.

Should she tell him he was once just a little sperm in RK’s body? Or an egg cell in Stella’s?

Sensing that Emily was about to say something inappropriate, Stella quickly gave her friend a warning look, signaling her to keep quiet.

“You... Of course, you were in outer space... At that time, you hadn’t yet entered Darling’s belly. You didn’t know her yet!” Emily struggled to find a decent explanation.

“Oh, that’s right. Aunt Emily, did you also come from outer space? Did you enter Darling’s belly before me?” Adrian’s innocent expression showed just how quickly he had picked up on things, and his follow-up question left Emily completely defeated.

“Pfft.” Stella couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

“Hey, Adrian, don’t push it! Don’t think I don’t know you did that on purpose! I’m your godmother, and I was born in your grandma’s belly. When I was born, your mother was also born in your grandma’s belly!” Emily shot back, her words spilling out like a machine gun, leaving Adrian, who had been so well-prepared, utterly confused.

“Ah, did Grandma’s belly get loose when she gave birth to you? I heard that for babies who don’t want to be born, their mother’s bellies have to be cut open, and they pull the babies out by their ears!” Adrian continued with his cute act, leaving Emily utterly speechless.

Stella laughed so hard she could hardly breathe. How did Adrian know so much? Who taught him all this? She certainly hadn’t!

“Good for you, Adrian! You bullied me just because I can’t say certain things. Just wait! When you grow up, I’ll tease you with all these embarrassing stories!” Emily said angrily, sitting down on the sofa and taking a sip of water. She glared at Adrian, clearly not ready to back down.

Stella couldn’t help but think that the two of them were perfectly matched in their banter.

“Aunt Emily, you should be filial to Grandma. She raised you and endured so much for so many years. You have to be grateful,”

Adrian said, suddenly serious.

“You... You...” Emily was speechless. Although his words stung a bit, she couldn’t deny that they made sense.

Oh no, she thought to herself. I’ve just been schooled by a little boy!
