Chapter 765

Stella pouted.

“He’s really that busy? Does he even know I’m back?”

“He knows.”

Aaron could see the disappointment in her eyes.

After a moment, he said, “The situation has been unusual these past few days.”

It was as close to an explanation as he gave for why Michael had still not come home.

“Oh.”

Stella nodded.

Then Aaron asked, “How did training with Leah go today?”

Stella fell silent.

At the mention of the day’s training, she instinctively glanced at Leah, who had followed her inside.

Leah gave off an icy, untouchable presence.

Stella had no idea how to answer.

She was scared.

She might have acted boldly in Harbor City, but she was genuinely afraid of those things.

Every shot had left her hand aching from the recoil.

When she did not answer, Aaron lifted a brow.

“What is it?”

“I just don’t understand why you want me learning all of that.‘

It made it feel as though she would be surrounded by that kind of danger for the rest of her life.

And that thought unsettled her.

Aaron’s expression dimmed for a moment.

“Aren’t you aware of what kind of family the Hogarths are?”

“I am.”

things are different now.”

Aaron paused.

At those words, Stella looked up at him.

“Now that you’re back, yesterday’s appearance has already drawn the attentior of people watching from the shadows.”

Stella said nothing.

“Your identity will also be made public at Dad’s birthday banquet.”

Yesterday.

Thinking of the attention at the airport, Stella finally understood what hidden currents might be moving beneath the surface.

She looked at Aaron without speaking.

Her emotions were tangled.

The moment she returned to Eirden, she had known the road ahead would not be easy.

Maybe it would be even harder than life in Harbor City.

People only saw the glamour.
