Chapter 427 The Line That Cannot Be Crossed

The driver was at a loss for words.

So… that didn’t work either?

He’d served the Reed family for years and knew well how ugly things had gotten between them and Stella.

All because of a foster daughter, they’d hurt their own blood to the core.

Now they came asking for help with Susan’s crisis? Of course Stella wasn’t going to answer.

Inside the warmth of Seaflats Cove.

When the butler got another call about Jonathan, his patience snapped: “Next time anyone from the Reed family calls, don’t bother telling me. Just turn them away.”

No matter how “important” the message.

He hung up before the other party could get another word in.

Stella heard the exchange but said nothing, quietly eating her breakfast.

Clearly, she was pleased with the way the butler handled it.

“Ms. Stella,” the butler stepped forward.

Stella set her spoon down lightly. “No need to explain.”

She knew. This was Abraham’s doing–he wouldn’t allow the Reed family even the faintest glimmer of hope.

And Stella had no intention of giving it to them either.

She wasn’t their savior.

The butler exhaled in relief. They’d been worried–after all, the Reed family was her biological blood. They feared she might soften.

But little did they know…

The only people Stella truly cared about were those from the Dawson family, and some of the elders from the Luke family.

She cared for everyone–except the very people tied to her by blood. The Reed family held no space in her heart, and never would again.

Her phone buzzed again.

It was Marie.

Stella answered sweetly, “Marie!”

“When are you coming back to Falvaria?”

“If all goes well, today,” she replied, her voice obedient and soft.

Marie nearly melted from the tone. “You’d better hurry. I’ve designed a few wedding dresses for you–you need to come try them on.”

Wedding dresses.

Who would’ve thought someone as fierce and tomboyish as Marie could design such elegant, delicate gowns?

The last time Stella had visited that bridal shop before her wedding with Ethan, it wasn’t because of him–it was because she recognized Marie’s work.

Thankfully, the dress she destroyed hadn’t been Marie’s. Otherwise, she’d have had to crawl back in disgrace and beg for forgiveness.

Stella muttered under her breath, “Well, I’m obviously going back with Mr. Abraham.”

Where he went, she went. They’d been apart for far too long. Now that they were finally together, she wasn’t letting him out of her sight.

Marie teased, “Still calling him Mr. Abraham, huh?”

Fine, fine.

Stella corrected herself, blushing, “We were separated for too long. It’s only natural I’d stick to him now.”

“Ooh la la. Your darling Abraham! That rolled off your tongue way too easily.”

Stella’s cheeks turned pink. “I’m not talking to you anymore.”

Marie pounced, “You two are actually together, huh?”

She already knew. She’d known the moment it happened–Abraham’s people weren’t exactly discreet. But she was having too much fun teasing Stella.

“You’re way too easy to win over. Good thing it was him. If it were some yellow–haired punk, I’d have shaved his head.”

“Then go shave Abraham’s.”

Marie deadpanned, “Do I look suicidal?”

She wouldn’t even dare look at whoever dared steal Stella’s heart–let alone challenge Abraham himself.

Stella huffed shyly, “I’m not talking to you.”

Marie laughed. “So what do I call you now? Sis? Or sister–in–law?”

“You’re ruthless, Stella. I’ve protected you like a sister, and now you’re out here stealing my future brother–in–law slot.”

Stella couldn’t let her continue–she hung up.

Only after hanging up did it hit her.

Wait, wasn’t Marie supposed to be flying to Frapucu? Why’s she asking when I’m heading back to Falvaria?

Had she come back early?

Now that she thought about it… Derrick had gone back too.

Stella’s mood soured.

That jerk. How dare he go

back?

What gave him the right?

Just as her irritation was about to boil over, Rianne called again.

“Stella! You need to send another car.”

“Huh?”

“Your tow truck dragged my car right off the road with yours. It’s stuck too!”
