Chapter 886
Stella had only learned about this when she was sorting through her parents‘ belongings. It turned out that Roger was not their biological child. Someone had left him as an abandoned baby on their doorstep.
Stella‘s parents had both taught at the university. Their residence was not a secret.
Stella was still very young when her parents found Roger at the door.
There was some cash in the baby‘s clothes too. Someone had left a note inside and explained that they could not raise the child, so they had hoped the kind–hearted couple could adopt him.
The person who had put the child there must have known Stella‘s parents very well.
Stella‘s parents were indeed kind–hearted. They could not bear to send the abandoned child to an orphanage. After thinking about it, they could only keep Roger and adopt him.
However, both of them were working at the university at that time. Having a new child suddenly out of nowhere was a big deal.
Many relatives had gradually found out about this, but Stella‘s parents had pleaded with them not to say anything.
Michael was among them, but he did not say anything. He was very close to his brother. His brother had a heart of gold, but he was a little afraid of him.
Stella‘s father was not interested in the family‘s business. He had dedicated his life to his teaching career. However, anyone would think twice about the family fortune.
Michael had no problem with him adopting a child, but their parents had disapproved of it. After seeing that they only had a daughter and did not intend to have another child, they had decided to let it go and allowed them to adopt Roger as their son.
After that, no one talked about it anymore. Stella‘s parents had treated Roger like their own child. They had never made the secret public for all these years.
