One day, while Stella and Joshua were having a meal with Keen, she suddenly received a call from Haynes.
"Star, something's come up at the company. I need to head back to Novaris immediately.
Should Keen stay with you for now, or come back with me?"
Stella looked at Keen.
"Keen, your dad has an emergency and needs to go back to Novaris. Do you want to go with him?"
Keen instinctively hugged Stella's arm. "I finally get to see you, Mom. I don't want to go back so soon."
Stella said to Haynes, "Keen doesn't want to go back just yet.
How about this? Let Keen stay with me for now. If you're too busy with work to come back and get him, I'll bring him back in a while."
Abby had just taken a month off, so Stella could come back with her.
Since arriving in Solmaris, Stella hadn't been back in a long time.
Haynes said, "Okay. If you don't have time to bring him back, just let me know, and I'll send Benson to pick him up."
After settling things with Haynes, they hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Stella told Joshua about the situation.
Joshua had no objections.

Ever since Stella and Joshua had taken their relationship to the next level, Joshua had stopped sleeping on the floor.
With Keen visiting, Stella thought she might get a few nights of rest. But just as she got out of the shower, Joshua wrapped his arms around her from behind and began kissing her without another word.
As Stella dodged his kisses, she whispered a reminder, "Joshua, Keen is staying in the next room."
Joshua's voice was hoarse. "Mmm, the walls are thick. He won't hear anything."
Stella was speechless.
Was this really about soundproofing?
Stella glanced at the time. It was just past nine.
Her eyelid twitched. It was too early. If this kept up night after night, Stella felt she'd be completely drained.
She had hoped to use Keen as an excuse, but Joshua wasn't falling for it.

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
Can’t wait to see what joshua will do...
Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
