Chapter 407 Unspoken Worries

Stella was stunned.

Honestly, given how fiercely Susan had protected Lillian, it wasn’t far–fetched to believe she was her biological daughter.

But…

Stella frowned. “Patrick isn’t a fool. If Lillian was really Susan’s daughter, there’s no way he wouldn’t know.”

Childbirth was no small matter.

Pregnancy was the one thing that couldn’t be hidden.

Tessa sighed. “True!”

There was no way Susan had given birth to her.

But the way she cherished Lillian was truly baffling.

Stella shook off the thought. “Alright, let’s drop it. Are you feeling calmer now?”

Just this afternoon, she had been crying on the phone. Now she seemed fine.

With Tessa’s emotional highs and lows, I had stopped worrying whenever she started crying again.

Tessa grumbled. “I can’t calm down.”

Stella felt silent.

Then how did she still have the energy to gossip?

Tessa sighed. “You don’t understand. I was scared to death. Thankfully, nothing happened when we went out.”

Victor had taken me out in the afternoon, and luckily, nothing had gone wrong.

If every outing comes with danger, I will lose it–completely.

Stella reassured her. “It’s not like danger is always present. If something happens, it’s because there’s an underlying issue.”

Tessa remained stubborn. “Even so, I still can’t calm down.”

Stella was speechless.

She claimed she wasn’t calm.

Yet, hearing her tone now–I felt she wasn’t far from it.

Stella asked, “Where’s Mr. Victor?”

Tessa sighed in relief. “He went out.”

At the mention of Victor leaving, her tone lightened.

She was desperate to avoid being under the same roof as him.

Abraham returned home then. Stella spotted him and quickly said into the phone, “I’ll call you later.”

Abraham looked like he had been drinking.

Stella hung up and walked over.

Abel supported Abraham as he respectfully informed her, “Ms. Dawson, Mr. Abraham had a few wines.”

Stella nodded. “Got it.”

She took him from Abel.

A faint scent of alcohol lingered on Abraham; it wasn’t unpleasant.

Now, Stella finally understood the saying. The smell of smoke or alcohol is only unpleasant when it isn’t coming from someone you like.

But on someone you love–it feels different.

Abel placed a bag on the coffee table. “Mr. Abraham brought you something to eat.”

Stella blinked.*…*

He really did?

“What is it?”

Abraham had called earlier, promising to bring her something delicious. Stella was now curious.

JAbel replied, “Chestnut cake. He tried it and thought you’d like it, so he brought it back.”

Stella felt silent.

Chestnut cake?

I had loved it in Falvaria, but after coming to Rivermount, I found the desserts here too sweet for my taste.

Still, since he had eaten it and thought I’d enjoy it, it must taste different from the usual Rivermount pastries.

Abel left.

Stella helped Abraham onto the couch. Just as she was about to stand up, his large, warm palm wrapped around her waist.

Before she could react, he pulled her onto his lap.

Startled, Stella instinctively clung to his neck. “What are you doing?”

His breath smelled of liquor.

His forehead pressed gently against hers, their breaths mingling.

Stella muttered, “I’ll make you some sobering soup.”

I should also wipe him down with a warm towel–otherwise, he’d feel uncomfortable in the morning.
