Chapter 179 Love in Every Gift

“Yeah, Stella! What’s your wish?” Leo asked, his eyes bright with anticipation. He’d move heaven and eart to get her anything she wanted–even the stars in the sky.

“Whatever you desire, I will make it happen,” Frederick said, his gaze soft as he looked at her.

Elias tried to speak a few times, but he was cut off each time. He didn’t mind at all; his heart was full of jo

for her.

“Thank you, brothers. But wishes don’t come true if you say them out loud,” Stella said with a smile as sh cut the cake. No one pressed her further.

“Grandpa, your piece first. Wishing you good health always,” she said, handing him a slice.

“My sweet girl,” Vincent said, his face warm with a kind smile. He patted her head and pulled a gift from his jacket pocket. With a rustle, a row of bank cards lay before her eyes.

“Twenty–two cards, all the same PIN. Come here, I’ll tell you in secret,” he said. Everyone laughed at his words.

“Grandpa, you afraid we’ll use them without permission?” Kenneth teased with a grin.

Vincent shot him a glare, then leaned in and whispered the PIN in Stella’s ear. “I got it, Grandpa,” she said

Bruce walked over with a smile. “Stella, this is from me.”

“What’s this?” she asked.

“Twenty–two percent of Shaw Group’s shares,” he replied.

Even if Stella wasn’t in the business world, she knew how valuable this was. “This is too much, it’s way too precious.”

“Take it, Stella. It’s from your uncle and me,” Sylvie said, patting her hand gently.

“Keep it. Kenneth and I have no objections,” Frederick added in a Soft voice. Kenneth nodded earnestly, urging her to accept.

“Thank you, Uncle Bruce, Aunt Sylvie, Fred, Ken,” Stella said.

“We’re family. No need for thanks, Sylvie said, brushing a hand affectionately across her cheek.

“Happy birthday, Stella. As long as I’m here, I’ll always protect you. Frederick said, handing her a stack of deeds. They were for twenty–two storefronts—all connected on the same street.

“Didn’t want you to have to run around. These are all in a row, easy to keep track of he said. It was no surprise the Shaw heir, known as Azure Peak City’s real estate king, would gift her a whole block of prime

storefronts.

Everyone else’s gifts were in beautifully wrapped boxes, piled high in the center of the yacht.

Aaron and Amelia exchanged a look.

She has everything she could ever want–willour engagement gifts feel insincere?

“Thank you all,” Stella said. She’d never imagined so many people loved her this much. Jasper patted her shoulder gently.

Everyone ate cake and danced together. The soft sea breeze blew, the sky was full of stars, and the lit–up luxury yacht echoed with music and laughter.

As night deepened, Elias walked her back to her room. They stared at each other, neither forgetting the words they’d once shared. Stella wasn’t tired; she was curious about the pile of gifts Elias had given her.

Elias pulled her into his arms. “Stella, don’t blame yourself. I know Nicole would want you to be happy.” He guessed she’d never celebrated her birthday because it was the day Nicole had suffered so much–she didn’t think it was something to celebrate. But her family wanted to make it up to her, and she couldn’t bear to refuse them.

‘I know,” Stella said.

Elias‘ eyes were full of restrained affection. He cupped her face and pressed a tender kiss to her forehead. ‘Good night.”

‘Good night, Elias,” she replied.

Late that night, Stella lay on the luxurious bed and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning.

Elias was up early, joining the elders for some sea fishing. “Mr. Shaw, Mr. Moore. I’ve talked with my family. I want to ask for Stella’s hand in marriage today,” he said. Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Aaron spoke up at once, “Vincent, we’ve known each other for half a lifetime. You know how the Cross family is. If Stella marries into our family, I’ll spoil her like my own daughter. You watched Elias grow up- you know what a good man he is.”

‘I’ll shower her with all the love in the world,” Amelia added, making her stance clear,

Kenneth frowned slightly. “Stella just turned twenty–two. Isn’t marriage a little too soon?”

“I want to get engaged first. She’s young and amazing–I don’t want to hold her back. I promise, whether it’s the engagement or the wedding later, I’ll always compromise for her. She just needs to live her life, do what she loves, and be happy,” Elias said. He gave Gideon a look, and Gideon pulled out a stack of documents.
