Stella took a sip from the glass on her nightstand. Just then, Abraham walked in and immediately caught the sly gleam in her

This little troublemaker–tobar mischief was she up to note!

He couldn’t hear the other end of the call, but he did hear Stella say, “Too late for you to beg me now. Whoever wants to live here better start begging him.”

With that, she ended the call–because she saw Abraham standing there

He was holding a tray of fruit–bright, juicy, inviting,

Stella rolled out of bed.

Abraham set the tray on the nightstand and reached out to touch her forehead. “No fever.”

She huffed. “I’m not like you, drinking and waking up with a fever.”

His eyes curved into a smile. “Who was on the phone just now?”

“Ethan.

Abraham’s smile froze ever so slightly.

“What does he want?”

Stella picked up a piece of fruit and popped it in her mouth. “He found out you’re the owner of Verdant Villa. Wants me to introduce you. Mm-”

Before she could finish, a hard seed jabbed her tooth.

Abraham instinctively reached out his hand–just like when she was little, when she choked or bit something hard, he’d always help her spit it out.

Seeing his palm in front of her, Stella froze.

Then quickly turned and headed for the bathroom.

When she came out again, there was a slight grumble in her voice. “Why do you like this stuff so much? The seeds are like

rocks

It was red guava

Stella never liked it. Her teeth couldn’t take it but Abraham loved it.

He chuckled “No picky eating”

Stella was speechless. That’s not picky rating. It’s a hazard to dental health.

Abraham punched her nose with a smile. “Didn’t curse him out this time?”

He did like her fierce, little tiger mode. Even when he wasn’t around, she never let herself get taken advantage of

Stella had barely finished one bowl before Abraham waved the staff to take her utensils away.

She looked up at him, prufully “Abraham”

Doctors say breakfast should be the biggest meal, but she barely ate anything in the morning. Lunch was so–so. But come dinner? Her appetite went wild

“I was just she started.

“No more.”

He cut her off before she could even finish.

Stella pouted, lips puffed like a sulking child.

Abraham’s gaze softened. He got up and tugged her up by the hand.

“Come on. Walk with me.

…Fine.”

She’d wanted to eat a bit more. It wasn’t her fault–she always craved food at night. One bowl hadn’t filled her up at all

As they reached the door, Abel appeared, his expression serious.

Abraham let go of her hand. “Go check out the back garden.”

“There’s something there?”

“Mm. Something fun.”

Stella was speechless.

Something fun? Why do I not believe you?

Last time he said that, he took her fishing. Sure, it was fun for him.

She had zero interest in it.

But judging by Abel’s expression, something serious was going on. So she wisely chose not to interfere.

Once she was out of earshot, Abraham asked, “Judson?”

Ves. His butler contacted me–he wants to meet with you.”

“Did you deliver the message

So tonight, the Keene family was going to erupt.

“And the Reed family is scrambling too. They held an all–night emergency meeting last night. Still no solution”

Correction, there was no solution.

Abraham sumled faintly. “They’ve had it too easy these past years. Got too arrogant.”

If they’d shown even a shred of care to Stella–just a little bit–things wouldn’t have come to this

But instead of protecting her, they bullied her at every turn.

Abel agreed. “Yes, sir”

Judson was clearly panicking after learning they’d already chosen a partner. That’s why he came in person.

But once he found out it all had to do with his son–he’d probably want to beat Ethan into a pulp.
