Chapter 789
Stella’s heart leapt into her throat again.
She looked at Aaron, barely breathing.
Aaron looked back at her.
His expression had turned grave.
There was something shadowed in his deep eyes.
Something almost melancholy.
Before Stella could fully make sense of it, Aaron lowered his gaze.
“To Dad, she was too fragile. The Hogarth family was going through a dangerous period back then, so he sent her back to Harbor City first.
“No one expected that separation to become their last.”
Stella said nothing.
The words their last separation left a dull ache in her chest.
“Seaborne has been making frequent moves lately,” Aaron continued. “After Evan went there, Amos also made contact with Henry Marker. You know who Henry is, right?”

Their influence had always placed invisible pressure on men like Henry

The thought made Stella’s expression darken

He paused and looked at Stedia again
“Now that you’re back, you need to learn to carry some of the family’s burden is ges”
Stella said nothing
Carry some of the burden
Was that why Leah had been teaching her all those things?
Aaron seemed to read her thoughts
“Christian will come by tomorrow. He’ll explain some things about the Hogarth family to you.”
“The family structure Our rivals. The companies and holdings.”
“I need to learn all of it?”
