Chapter 651
“Yeah, I received my pay and wanted to treat you to something nice since you’re about to go overseas.” She went on hesitantly, “Why don’t we invite Riley to join us? By way of expressing my thanks to her.” “No need,” Roger shrugged. Stella had already made reservations at the restaurant. After placing her order, she thought about it before saying solemnly to Roger, “If you really don’t like Riley and see no possibility of being with her, find a time and make things clear with her. The longer you drag things out, the greater the hurt you’ll cause her. Do you understand?”
Roger furrowed his brows. “Why do you keep talking to me about her? I’m about to go overseas. Let’s not talk about outsiders!” Stella reached out to rub her head. “You brat! Do you really know that you’re going overseas soon? Now that you’re all grown up, I can’t always be by your side, and you’ll get to know new people. Riley will be going with you on your studies abroad. It is imperative that you handle your relationship with her, leave no regrets or hurt her, do you get me?”
Roger was beginning to get annoyed with her nagging.” Then I’ll just stay here and keep you company!”
He was saying it as a casual remark, but Stella’s face fell immediately. “Don’t you even think about it! Do you think you’re still a child, making such immature remarks whenever you please? Don’t joke about your future!”
Roger didn’t expect her to be so agitated. He lowered his head and said, “Okay, I get you…” Stella didn’t know how sincere he was. She pondered about it for a moment and eventually decided to tell him, “I met Michael two days ago…” “What?” Roger’s eyes widened, and he almost stood up.“ Isn’t he supposed to be overseas?”
“Yes, he recently came back,” Stella pressed his shoulders to sit him back down. “Don’t panic. Hear me out. I met him at a shopping mall yesterday, and he was with Diana. They recognized me at first, but I told them I wasn’t Stella Sealey, but Ella Steele. They barely believed me, though. I think Michael has his doubts.”
Roger began to get worried. “Whatever it is, it is rather unbelievable that there are two people who look so alike.”
“Looking similar might be something that could be overlooked, but if they see you in Fern City, then they would never believe me…”
That was what worried Stella the most. Roger was still rather hesitant. “So what if Michael knew? We’ve cut all ties with him a long…”
“Do you remember how he treated us back then?”
Roger fell silent the moment Stella asked him the question.
