Chapter 1222
Stella did not know what to say in response. The atmosphere turned awkward again. After a moment, Wenham chimed in, “Stella, just accept it as a blessing from my wife.”
Stella had no choice but to take it and thanked Darcie politely. Edith stared at Darcie for a while before turning to her son and said, “Daryl, have the waiter prepare another set of utensils.”
Darcie quickly waved her hand. “It’s okay, Mrs. Hall Sr., I’m going to leave now. You all have a good chat with Stella.” Then, she turned around and said to Wenham, “I’ll get a room ready in the house for Stella as soon as possible. I can ask Jaylene to switch rooms with her, too, if she prefers Jaylene’s room. I can’t wait for Stella to live with us.”
Wenham looked a little moved as he gently patted Darcie’s arm and softly said, “Thank you so much.”
Darice smiled and replied, “It’s my duty.”
Then, she bid farewell to everyone politely and left.
Although Darcie was gone, Stella could still feel like the atmosphere was not as relaxed as before. She could sense that her grandparents were a little unhappy.
Stella pondered to herself and realized that Wilfred and Edith were probably bothered by the fact that their ex-son-in- law married another woman and formed a new family.
In fact, she did not feel very comfortable around Darcie too. Although Darcie spoke politely to her, she could not shake the feeling that she was an outsider intruding into a family she did not belong in.
Stella never planned to move back into the Saun family.
“Let’s eat.” Daryl cleared his throat and said to Stella with a smile, “Stella, just grab whatever you like. We don’t have any complicated family rules here. Just be yourself.”
Stella’s expression eased up as she replied warmly, “Okay, Uncle Daryl.”
Daryl paused before turning to Wilfred and said, “Dad, can I have your card now? She called me Uncle first.”
