Chapter 252
At least Roger could grow up in a place like this. He had lived up to her parents’ expectations. If her parents could witness this, they would feel relieved, right? It was just that she had embarrassed them.
Stella didn’t know if she’d ever have a career that her parents would be proud of. She sighed and randomly walked into a tea shop, ordered a cup of milk tea in boredom, and waited for Roger to finish his class.
She checked on her savings and thought about her next career plan. She had considered what Roger told her, but considering her relationship with Weston, there would be a lot of inconvenience if she did go down that road. If her relationship with Weston were to be discovered, many people would be affected. She always had the worst plans for her relationship with Weston.
“A milk tea latte, please.”
After ordering her drink, she sat down in a corner. When the man paying at the cashier in front of her heard her voice, he turned and looked at her instinctively. When their eyes met, she was surprised. “Mr. Hall?” She didn’t expect to bump into him in such a small tea shop.
And neither did he.
He was a little surprised but quickly returned to his usual polite self. Smiling, he nodded at her. “What a coincidence for you to be here too. Coming over to see Roger?” Stella nodded and glanced at the boy holding on to Mr. Hall. She smiled and greeted him.” Long time no see.” Bryce was thrilled today, getting the rare chance to visit the university his father worked at. Justin Hall, a lecturer, would constantly be swamped at work and had little time to care for Bryce.
Some time ago, upon quarreling with Tina, he finally realized that they had both taken their children for granted, not giving them the time they deserved. Since then, he had subconsciously made up for it whenever he could.
Initially overjoyed, Bryce became alerted when he saw her. “Hello, Ms. Steele.” Although he still greeted her politely, he obviously didn’t sound too enthusiastic. He also averted her eyes as he stood behind Justin.
