Chapter 1012
Wenham’s face darkened. ’When did I say anything about canceling her jobs? Am I not asking for her opinions now?”
’Oh,” Keegan said before asking Stella, “Do you want to go?”
Obviously, Stella did not feel like participating in other people’s family gatherings, so she said tactfully, “Uncle Wenham, I’ll not be attending if it’s a family gathering. Your family is not going to feel comfortable with an outsider among them too. I’ll visit Trevor’s grandparents some other time if they really want to see me.”
Wenham did not like that idea at all. So, he said, “It’s not really a family gathering. We’re just going to have a meal together. It’s nothing formal.”
Stella replied softly, “Didn’t you say that it’s a family gathering and rejected Keegan from going?”
Wenham kept quiet for moment before he replied, “I… I just thought that he’d be too busy to come.”
Keegan immediately chimed in, “I’ve not been busy lately. I can free up my schedule when Trevor’s grandparents are here.”
Wenham pursed his lips and said reluctantly, “Come along if you really have the time then.’
’Thanks for the invitation, Uncle Wenham.” Keegan said.
Even though Wenham was unhappy about Keegan tagging along, it did not dampen his joy upon seeing Stella. With Luna as their common topic, Wenham was not worried that he would have nothing to talk about with Stella. He could not wait to find out everything about Stella in the past twenty-plus years, including her likes and dislikes, the schools she went to, what kind of hardships she suffered, and whether her parents treated her well…
However, none of these questions seemed to matter anymore as soon as he saw the bright smile on Stella’s face.
It was the greatest blessing from above the fact that she could stand in front of him in good health. As for her hardships and sufferings in the past, Wenham was going to make up for them in the future.
But the things he talked about with Stella mainly revolved around Luna.
