The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 482

Chapter 482 Don’t Cry You’re Not a Kid Anymore

It had been years since they’d last seen each other.

Evelyn asked Harper about everything, worried that these things might not suit her taste.

But before Harper could even respond, Stella’s voice rang out, “I like it–I like all of it.

Evelyn had her back to the door.

At the sound of Stella’s voice, her body visibly stiffened.

Just when Stella thought she would immediately turn around–and she herself was already bracing to run up and hug her-

The warmth and enthusiasm she had anticipated. never came.

Evelyn didn’t turn around; she stood there, rigid, her back to her. Stella’s heart tightened all over again.

Juntil she saw Evelyn’s shoulders trembling ever so slightly

Stella felt a sharp ache in her chest and stepped forward slowly. “Mom.”

Still, Evelyn didn’t turn around.

As she got closer, Stella could see more clearly–Evelyn’s shoulders were trembling harder now.

This time, Stella didn’t hesitate. She walked up quickly and wrapped her arms around Evelyn from behind

“Mom, I’m home.”

Her voice was soft–so soft it could break your heart.

At that, Evelyn finally turned around and pulled her into a tight embrace. “You little brat Only come home when someone goes out to get you? Forgot the way on your own?”

Her torie was full of scolding.

Evelyn was tall by nature, and Abraham had clearly inherited the good genes from her.

So compared to Abraham, Stella was small–and standing in front of Evelyn, she was still a tiny ball of softness.

It was slightly better than with Abraham, though–at least she came up to Evelyn’s neck this time.

Hearing Evelyn’s scolding, Stella nuzzled into her neck. “Don’t be mad anymore, okay? I am wrong…”

“Hmph, if you don’t give me a full explanation today, I’m absolutely not forgiving you

Stella was stunned.

Evelyn continued, “And you–did you call someone else ‘mom“?”

The corner of Stella’s mouth twitched; she went quiet.

Someone else? Suran?

“I swear, I didn’t”

Dol seem like that kind of person? Someone who’d call just anyone ‘mom‘ for a piece of candy? Though truthfully, Susan never really

tried to coax her.

Ever since she arrived at River

at Rivermount-

Lillian had been acting completely erratic, always causing trouble in one way or another.

Even during those two months in the hospital, Susan only came sporadically.

Each tune, she’d stay ten, maybe fifteen minutes–like a candle being lit and then immediately snuffed out…

Susan’s way of being a mother stood in stark contrast to Evelyn’s

From the very beginning. Stella hadn’t accepted her in her heart. And later on, that was even less likely.

Stella nuzzled into Evelyn’s arms again. “I would never.”

Hearing that. Evelyn finally felt a little better.

She held Stella tightly, pleased. “Good, that’s what I wanted to hear. Hmph.”

Her tone was full of prideful affection.

If Stella had really called someone else “mom, Evelyn wouldn’t have let it go. If she already called someone else mom, and the Reed family still treated her that way-

Then Evelyn definitely wouldn’t have let those people off the hook. She’d keep going after them.

Stella held Evelyn tightly. “Mom, I missed you so much.”

“If you missed me, why didn’t you come home! You little brat…”

When it came to the subject of coming home, Evelyn’s tone suddenly turned heavy.

Not just

for Stella–even at her age, Evelyn had never experienced anything as chaotic as that.

She still hadn’t recovered from the upheaval three years ago.
