Chapter 663
“All right, I got it. You’re so naggy.” Stella cut him off and flung the coat on him. “Remember to bring along more clothes. I heard that it’s very cold there. Call me often, don’t keep thinking that overseas calls are expensive.”
“I got it.”
Before the atmosphere became too depressing, Stella wiped the corner of her eyes and said, “Riley is still waiting outside. Don’t be late now.”
Unlike Roger, who had been sheltered all his life and never went overseas, Riley’s family was very open minded and pretty well-off.
She had gone on solo overseas trips many times, and it was obvious that she grew up in a very positive family environment. She was a confident, bright girl, and Stella felt relieved at having Riley accompany Roger on his overseas studies.
Upon hearing the commotion in the room, Riley stood up from the couch she was sitting on. “Ready?” she asked.
She saw Roger’s reddened eyes and felt a pinch in her heart. “Isn’t it just going overseas? Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you.”
Roger remained silent.
He shot her a look and said, “We don’t know for sure who will end up being the one taken care of.”
Riley didn’t stoop to his level and instead hooked her arm around Stella’s arm. “Stella, don’t you worry. I’ll definitely take good care of him and make sure he ends up round and fat!”
Stella could hold back a chuckle. “If he does anything wrong, you must tell me. Don’t let him bully you.”
“Don’t you worry!” Roger said, rather unhappily. “Who’s the bully? What’s more, you’re my sister. How could you side with outsiders?”
Riley glanced at the clock. “It’s about time for us to head to the airport. Shall we…go? The car is waiting downstairs.”
Roger collected himself and looked solemnly at Stella.” Stella…I’ll be off now.”
