Elias spoke in a gentle tone, a faint smile playing on his lips. His warm demeanor took Aaron by surprise.

Is this really my son Elias? When did he become so polite? And he’s smiling–looking harmless and approachable?

“Aaron, I envy you. Elias is so capable,” Vincent said.

“Frederick is excellent too,” Aaron replied with a sincere smile.

“And Stella–she’s amazing. Vincent, your genes are truly unmatched,” he added.

When Stella was mentioned, Vincent’s face filled with pride.

“By the way, didn’t Stella come with you?” Aaron asked eagerly. He couldn’t wait to meet the girl who’d captured his

Stella felt a little embarrassed–Jasper was still by her side.

Aaron smiled from ear to ear. Jasper, long time no see.

“Mr. Cross, wish you good health and a happy family life, Jasper replied,

“No, don’t make me sound old, Aaron said, pointing to his face and lowering his voice. I just had a facelift Call me Aaron from now on.”

His words made the guests laugh–everyone understood his meaning

“This must be Stella,” Aaron said, turning to Stella.

‘Mr. Cross, happy birthday! May you live as long as the rivers and mountains, Stella greeted politely.

‘Yes, yes!” Aaron exclaimed excitedly.

‘Grandpa,” Stella said, hugging Vincent.

Vincent patted her head gently. “Our Stella looks wonderful tonight.”

Hello, everyone,” Stella greeted the rest of the Shaw family.

They were surrounded by warmth, making other guests feel a little left out.

‘Vincent, let’s go over there to chat. Let the young people enjoy themselves, Aaron suggested.

The two elders walked away, and Amelia pulled Sylvie and the others to leave too.

Jasper looked at the affection in the young couple’s eyes, thinking of his own past. He smiled gently. “Elias, don’t bully Stella when I’m not around.”

‘Don’t worry, Mr. Moore,” Elias replied, taking Stella’s hand. “I’ll show you around.”

“Elias, I rarely come to Cross Manor too. Won’t you show me around?” Kenneth joked.

“I’ll show you around,” a voice said.

Kenneth turned around and saw Iris walking over in a yellow gown, glowing like the bright sun.

“Iris,” he said with a smile.

“Stella, you’re so beautiful. I almost want to marry you,” Iris laughed, hugging Stella.

Elias stared in disbelief. In that moment, he looked at Iris like she was a rival in love.

“Stella, weren’t you hungry? Mr. Cross, letting your girlfriend go hungry makes you an unqualified boyfriend,” Iris teased.

Elias suddenly saw his “rival” as an ally. “Let’s go get something to eat.”

“Stella,” Kenneth called.

“Mr. Shaw, why do you love being a third wheel so much?” Iris joked.

Kenneth looked confused. “Do I?”

“Let all the women here with ulterior motives see clearly–Mr. Cross truly loves Stella. Those who know their place will give up,” Frederick added. He agreed–too many people were eyeing Elias, even though he had a girlfriend.

“Come on, let’s go drink,” Iris said to Frederick.

“Miss Monroe, we’re not that close,” Frederick replied.

“We’re not that distant either. After all, we went on a blind date once,” Iris reminded him.

Kenneth thought it made sense. “Let’s go.”

They took a few steps, then turned back when they realized Frederick wasn’t following. “Frederick, aren’t you coming?”
