Chapter 52
Stella hooked one arm around Roger’s neck and leaned her head against his shoulder. She sighed and said, “Yvonne’s. I accompanied her on a shopping trip today and had dinner at her place.”
Roger reacted little to Stella’s answer, and wasn’t much surprised either.
After all, the only person here who was close enough to be Stella’s friend was Yvonne.
Back then, when Stella was still searching for a job, she went as far as to ask him if Yvonne would recognize her.
Roger was rather worried, but it seemed like Yvonne had accepted it as a fact, as time went by.
After all, in Amber City, her relationship with Stella remained strictly on a business-only basis.
Although they were on pleasant terms, they were mere acquaintances. She did not even know that Stella had a brother, which was why she believed it so easily.
However, the person Stella met today would probably not be so easily fooled… She did not want to worry Roger, so she changed the subject, “What about you? Who did you have fun with today?”
Ever since his hospitalization , Roger had become more reserved, and he was audibly quieter.
He had always been an intelligent child and even studied in the same grade as Stella. Deemed a prodigy and having skipped many grades, he was still around the same age as his peers, and it was easy for him to adapt to campus life.
“It was just a gathering that some of my classmates organized. It was not much fun.”
“Were there other female classmates?”
Stella smiled at him as she caressed his head.
Roger’s face was pale, and given that he had lost a bit of weight during the time he was hospitalized, the white T-shirt he wore hung loosely on his skeletal frame.
