The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 2031

Roger recovered quickly after the observation period.

With no remaining issues, he was discharged to recover at home.

Meanwhile, Stella was busy packing her things to return to campus.

"Who do you want to invite for your birthday tomorrow?"

Roger walked into her bedroom, wrapping his arms around her from behind, his voice soft.

"..."

Stella slowed her packing and thought about it.

She wasn't that close to her classmates.

Her only real friends were Charlotte and Andrew's group.

"Isn't it your birthday tomorrow too?" Stella zipped up her suitcase, her tone earnest. "You plan it. I'm fine with whatever."

"Alright."

Roger smiled faintly. He chatted with her for a moment before returning to his own room.

After notifying his family of the exact time of the party, he made another call.

"Are the things I asked for ready?"

Roger stood by the window, his dark eyes narrowing as he spoke in a low, raspy voice.

"Yes, sir."

The voice on the other end was deeply respectful. "Everything has been delivered to the designated location, exactly as you ordered."

"The size, the clarity of the diamonds, and the design—all custom-made to your exact specifications. I guarantee there won't be a single flaw."

"Good."

Roger nodded. He opened a photo on his phone, looking at the finished rings, the corners of his lips curling up.

"Mr. Gates, I wish you a successful proposal," the jeweler said with a bright tone.

"You're mistaken."

Roger dropped his smile, his voice dropping an octave. "Wish me a happy wedding."

"..."

The staff member was stunned.

Getting married immediately after the proposal?

That was fast!

"Right. Wishing you and Stella a very happy wedding, sir."

"Thanks."

Roger's eyes crinkled with a thoroughly satisfied smile.

With everything arranged, he hung up and tossed his phone onto the bed.

Then, he opened his nightstand and pulled out a prepared manila folder, slipping it into his bag along with the earrings Samantha had given him.

So what if they dated young?

The next second, he pulled a velvet box from his suit pocket and snapped it open. Under the light, a pair of sapphire earrings sparkled brilliantly.

Roger smiled, lifting the earrings and delicately securing them to her lobes.

Though Stella wasn't a jewelry expert, hanging around Charlotte had given her a sharp eye.

One look was enough to tell her these earrings were worth a fortune.

"Are these..."

"From Samantha, for her future daughter-in-law." Roger rubbed her earlobe gently and kissed her cheek, coaxing, "She'll be thrilled to see you wearing them."

"..."

After a moment of thought, Stella didn't refuse.

"Let's go."

Having chased away all her insecurities, Roger took her hand and led her outside.

It was late winter, and the air was biting cold.

Roger shielded her as she got into his sports car, instructing the driver to crank up the heat.

Before long, the car pulled up outside an exclusive private club.

Stella was in a daze the whole time as Roger guided her into a private room.

The moment the door opened, a loud pop echoed through the air as colorful confetti rained down from above.

"Happy birthday!"
