Chapter 481:
On the way back, Stella remained silent, while Adrian and Tristan chatted happily. Occasionally, the man sitting
in the front of the car would engage in conversation, mostly playing the role of listener to the child. This was
exactly how he had been during their tin the Richard family.
Back then, Stella would often talk to this man about her school experiences and her unhappiness in life. In recent
years, Tristan treated her the sway he treated Adrian, always listening patiently to her.
When they got home, Stella didn’t let the man cupstairs. As she took the little fellow back, Adrian asked
innocently, “Darling, don’t you like Uncle Tristan?”
Stella thought to herself, “After all this time, it seems this little guy understands more than he lets on!”
She looked at Adrian and decided to change the subject. “Don’t worry about adult matters.”
“Hmph...”
The little guy snorted, unwilling to let it go. “Uncle Tristan gavesomething and askedto give it to
Darling!”
After saying that, Adrian took out a small pink piece of paper from his school bag. When he handed it to Stella,
she realized it was a folded heart-shaped note.

Written on the heart were the words, “There is you in my heart, Stella. Can you givea chance...?”
Stella's face flushed when she saw this. Holding the paper felt like holding a hot potato, and she didn’t know
where to place it.
Adrian watched closely from the side and couldn’t help but speak up for Tristan. “Darling, | think Uncle Tristan is
very nice! He gave Adrian food, took him to play, and he loves Adrian so much.”

Stella was speechless. “It seems that Tristan hasn't had any wasted twith this kid during this period!”
This man’s bribe to Adrian was clearly effective. In the past, this child would never have spoken kindly about
anyone else!
“Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Go to your room quickly.” Stella hurriedly put the love note away and
sent the little fellow back to his room.
But in her heart, it was a mess.
If she was looking for a father for Adrian, perhaps Tristan was the most suitable choice. However, there were too
many barriers to consider in this relationship, and she didn’t know how to face this man. Ultimately, it seemed
she couldn't overcthe hurdles in her heart!
When Stella returned home, Emily had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing the two of them cback,
she said, “Stella, I've prepared dinner for you today. Hurry up and eat! | have an event to attend with you
tonight!”
As she spoke, Emily pulled Stella to sit down, her excitement palpable.
Stella looked at her in confusion and asked, “What event? Why are you so happy?”
“Well... it’s not just to makehappy, but to make you happy!” With that, Emily placed the plate and spoon in
front of Stella, urging her to eat.
Adrian, sitting nearby, had a peculiar look on his face. “Godmother, don’t tellyou're going to take Darling
away!”
“Go, go, go, kid. Don’t interrupt. Hurry up and eat!” Emily urged, “Once you're full, you can go to sleep, so your
Godmother and Darling can go out with peace of mind!”
“Hmph...”
The little fellow snorted and rolled his eyes at Emily. After dinner, Emily dragged Stella to pick out clothes.
“If you don’t try this one on, you have to wear it! You must be very busy!”
After Stella changed into a beige dress that fell just above her knees, Emily led her out of the house.
“Emily, where are you taking me?”

To be honest, Stella had spent most of her tat hin recent months, rarely participating in any social
events since RK returned to the country. She had lost interest in socializing and now felt a bit apprehensive.
“I think you need to get out, don’t you? I'm worried about you! There's an event today, so | specially invited
you!” After saying that, Emily added, “Also, Ray Clark will be there today!
He just returned from England, and now he’s the heir of the Clark family! Stella, if you can win him over, the next
half of your life will be...”
“Wait a minute. I'll go upstairs!”
Speaking of that man, Stella suddenly remembered that when she was at the hotel, she borrowed his suit. After
washing it, she had forgotten to return it.
“This time... | can also give it back to him.” Although they weren't particularly familiar, she felt a sense of
gratitude for Ray after he had helped her in the bathroom incident.
Seeing Stella head upstairs, Emily ran after her.
When she cdown, Stella was holding a bag, and Emily could vaguely see a black suit inside. She was
stunned. “Huh? Stella, why are you taking this suit? Who are you giving it to?”
“Ray lent it tolast time. | can return it to him today,” Stella replied.
Emily was surprised. “You two know each other? He even lent you his suit?”
“Stella, you're really impressive! You didn’t even tellsuch big news!”
