The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 483

Chapter 483 Marie Has Zero Chill

Stella went quiet.

When she heard Evelyn mention “what’s in your belly,” her chest gave a little jolt.

Just after Abraham had pulled her out of Evelyn’s arms, she dove right back into them.

“Mom.”

Her voice caught with a sob.

She really didn’t blame me… All the worries she’ll carried back in Rivermount had completely vanished in that moment.

“Why are you crying again? Don’t cry, don’t cry–you’re not a child anymore.”

Crying was for kids.

J–1 thought you’d be mad at me,” Stella said.

She had gotten together with Abraham just like that–she had truly been afraid Evelyn wouldn’t take it well.

And it was precisely because Evelyn had been so good to her all these years that she had kept her feelings for Abraham tucked away so carefully,

Especially during her time in Rivermount–she’d seen enough.

Susan had doted on Lillian so

much.

But even then, she had never once thought about Lillian and Jonathan being a thing…

So in Stella’s heart, she had come to believe that this kind of relationship simply wasn’t one people would accept.

“Why would I be mad at you? Isn’t this a good thing? Back then, I worried about you all the time.”

At this, Evelyn let out a long sigh

“You were so delicate. If you grew up and married into some other family and got bullied, then what?”

Granted, Stella’s temperament had been well–shaped by the Dawson family.

But still, Evelyn had worried.

Compared to Marie, Stella was much more likely to get picked on.

And sure enough, things had turned out exactly the way Evelyn had predicted–those people in Rivermount had bullied her.

Stella was even more touched. “Mom.”

“No I

to more crying, okay? Be good. After you eat, have the med team give you a full checkup”

Evelyn comforted her patiently.

She even shot Abraham a fierce glare, blaming him for not explaining things to Stella properly earlier.

Look how worried she got.

Sure enough, being away for so long had changed things; even Stella had worried about how she’d take the news. What was there to worry about? I raised her myself. No one knows her temperament better than I do.

Stella nodded obediently. “Okay.”

After a few more soothing words, Evelyn led her over to the dining table.

The housekeepers had already set the table–it was completely covered with food.

All of Stella’s favorite dishes from when she used to live in Falvaria.

Evelyn kept piling food onto her plate. “Star, I made this one myself today.”

“Mhm.”

Stella nodded sweetly.

She used her fork to pick up a piece of flatbread and took a bite. “Mom, your cooking is still amazing”

Who would’ve guessed that Evelyn–the tough, commanding woman out in the world, the only daughter of the Luke family -would also know her way around the kitchen?

And not just that–what she made was seriously delicious.

Stella loved the way her mom’s cooking tasted.

“I heard that after you went to Rivermount, you especially liked eating broth. I thought maybe you didn’t like these anymore,” Evelyn said.

“I do. I do I love all of it”

It was just that, over in Rivermount, those plain dishes hadn’t been very tasty.

The only things she really liked over there were the broth and the barbecue. People naturally gravitate toward what they enjoy eating

But no matter how much tastes might change, the flavors from home were never truly gone from her heart.

You might get

And Stella had clearly been craving them.

“This soup is amazing, she said.

After one sip of the soup Evelyn had made herself, Stella’s whole face lit up with satisfaction. It really was that good.

Evelyn laughed…

For anyone who cooked, the greatest comfort was having someone enjoy it.

“If it’s good, drink up. You haven’t been eating properly lately, so you have to eat more today.”

As Stella sipped her soup, she asked, “Mom, how do you know everything? Did you know what I’ve been up to all these years in Rivermount too?”

If she even knew about her poor eating habits, then she must’ve grown eyes on her or something.

Evelyn’s expression froze for a moment at the question.

“Your mom’s not that magical. You sneaky girl really knew how to hide. Picked that kind of place to disappear to. Getting bullied and still didn’t think to come home.”

Any time Rivermount came up, it always circled back to how the Reed family had treated Stella.

Back then, Evelyn really hadn’t known that Stella had gone to Rivermount–there were so many places to go abroad Who would’ve guessed she’d end up somewhere with a completely different language?

But she had seriously underestimated Stella’s ability to learn. In just two or three years, Stella had mastered the local language there.

Even though her husband had originally come from that region. he’d only taught her a few words back then
