Chapter 444

Chapter 444:

Stella refused, “There is no need. We’re already late...”

“You can’t be so casual even if you’re late!”

Emily grabbed Stella and didn’t let go. After all, she was here to find a father for Adrian today! How could she be so casual?

Emily thought about what had happened after Stella got off work. She had gone to the kindergarten to pick up Adrian and then taken him to the restaurant, where they had decided to meet at the entrance. At that time, Stella had still been finishing up her work, so she didn’t expect to see her looking so out of sorts after just three hours.

“Stella, did you see someone you shouldn’t have met in the company?”

Emily asked, sensing something was off. After all, who else could make Stella look so distracted and rattled besides RK?

Stella glanced at the little guy in Emily’s arms and saw his innocent face. “It’s nothing. Let’s go in quickly. He should have arrived.”

As she spoke, Stella took Adrian’s chubby hand and led him into the restaurant.

As soon as she stepped inside, her heart was in turmoil! Her mind was filled with the scene of their earlier encounter in the elevator...

“What’s going on with that man? He disappeared for no reason for the past six months. He went to England for treatment?”

But what kind of treatment did he need? He had always been healthy and never seemed unwell during their time together. Now that they had met again, there was an inexplicable feeling in Stella’s heart. It was overwhelming and filled with a dull pain.

This feeling intensified, especially when she considered that RK had another woman by his side. She couldn’t help but feel more upset!

In the restaurant, Trevor, who had made the appointment, was already waiting at the dining table.

Your story hub gⱯlnσν풆ℓs.com When he saw Stella arriving late, holding a child in one hand... and Emily behind them, he was taken aback.

“What’s going on?”

“I am sorry for the delay, Mr. Wilson,” Stella greeted him.

Trevor’s attention quickly shifted to the child Stella was holding. He looked at Adrian and asked, “Miss Richard, who is this?”

“This is my son, Adrian Richard.”

Stella was upfront, not wanting to hide anything. If they were to get along, they might as well be honest from the start to avoid unnecessary complications later.

“Oh, so Miss Richard already has a child...”

Trevor replied awkwardly, his expression slightly souring.

Stella held Adrian’s hand and did not sit down. She said bluntly, “Well, if you mind, Mr. Wilson, we can skip this meal. There’s no need to waste our time.”

As she spoke, she seemed to be waiting for him to express his stance. It felt like this dinner party was non-essential to her.

However, she had come on this blind date for Adrian’s sake. If she had hidden anything about him from the beginning, it would have been counterproductive. Today, she wanted to see if Trevor could accept Adrian.

Ultimately, Stella only wanted to find a suitable father for Adrian. If it weren’t for her precious son, she wouldn’t want to get married at all.

“This...”

Trevor didn’t expect Stella to be so direct. He smiled and said, “Miss Richard, please sit down first. I’m not an old-fashioned person. Besides, I want to find a suitable wife now. If you can... I don’t mind.”

As he spoke, Trevor pulled out a chair for Stella, then one for Adrian. After helping the little guy sit down, he returned to his own seat.

Emily, who was sitting nearby, watched the interaction and tugged at Stella’s sleeve under the table, clearly satisfied with the blind date.

“Miss Richard, order something first. We can talk while eating. It’s getting late, and you should be hungry.”

With that, they began to order their meals together.

Trevor’s attention remained focused on Adrian, as if the person he was supposed to be on a date with was not Stella, but her son...

Adrian, confused, ate with his head down.
