Chapter 1221
Stella could immediately sense that the atmosphere in the room became somewhat awkward as soon as Darcie spoke.
Wilfred’s friendliness disappeared, and the look on Edith’s face turned nonchalant. Daryl took a sip of his wine without saying anything. Trevor’s gaze paused before he greeted her flatly, “Hello, Darcie.”
Wenham stood up awkwardly and asked, “What brings you here?”
Darcie replied gently, “You forgot your blood pressure medication. I was worried that you couldn’t buy it here, so I brought it for you.”
Trevor kept his lips pursed and remained silent. Blood pressure medication was not an emergency pill like nitroglycerine; it was not needed to be always carried around.
However, Wenham did not think too much about it. He took the medication and said in a low voice, “You could’ve just asked someone to bring it over. Why did you come personally?”
Darcie replied softly, “Mr. and Mrs. Hall Sr. have been in Rivera for some time now, and I wanted to pay them a visit. And… I also wanted to share the joy of reuniting with Stella after waiting with you for so long.”
Wenham felt a little conflicted.
Although Wilfred and Edith did not say anything about his remarriage, he could feel they were not exactly happy about it.
Besides, the reason they gathered here was to reunite as a family. Darcie’s presence was just not appropriate for an occasion like this.
Wenham whispered to Darcie, “You should go back first. We’ll have a meal with Stella again when she’s free some other time. Let’s give her and her grandparents some space today.”
Darice looked a little disappointed, but she did not argue with Wenham. Instead, she replied Mr. and Mrs. Hall Sr. at least. Then I’ll leave.”
At this point, Wenham did not want to reject Darcie anymore. He turned around and gazed at his ex-father-in- law, who shot him a look that said, ‘You’re a useless man.’
Wenham kept quiet.
