Chapter 1 Back After Six Years
At City X International Airport...
Stella Richard walked out of the airport and hailed a taxi. She gave the driver an address and got into the car. As the taxi moved, Stella gazed out the window at the familiar city...
She had returned after six years, but the experiences and memories she had tried to forget over the years began to flood her mind...
Stella shook her head, chasing those thoughts away.
This time, she hadn't come back to dwell on old, useless memories. She was back because her boss had asked her to return. He told her that their company was at a dead end, and he wanted her to come back and solve the crisis.
At first, Stella didn't want to come, but after some thought, she decided to return...
Six years ago, her boss had helped her during the most difficult time of her life, and she wanted to repay the favor...
As for everything else, she no longer cared...
At the Company...
As Stella arrived, she noticed that most of the employees were engaged in a lively discussion...
As she walked by, snippets of conversation reached her ears...
"I heard that there are so many companies who want to buy our company..."
"Really! That means we'll have a new boss."
"I just hope that our new boss should be good-looking, like a Korean drama CEO..."
"Hey! Do you know who's going to buy the company?"
Stella heard their chatter but didn't care about the gossip.
She knew these people didn't actually care about who would buy the company or for what price...
They just wanted to gossip.
But she... She cared... and she was here to secure a good deal for her company.
"Of course, it'll be Kingston's, the RK Group. Who else in the city is powerful enough to challenge them?"
Stella, who had been about to continue walking, stopped in her tracks...
A name, both familiar and unfamiliar, reached her ears...
"The Kingstons..."
"RK Group..."
Suddenly, memories Stella had locked away began to surge like a storm. Her mind was filled with those memories like a flood.
Stella felt dizzy.
It was as if she were still trapped in that RK mansion, surrounded by cold walls...
Stella had thought she had long forgotten about him, but it seemed that it was just her illusion...

Flashback...
Six Years Ago...
In the RK Mansion...
Stella walked out of the gate inside the living room. But her expression was somber. She moved as if in a daze...
Her small face looked a little pale.
"Madam, what happened to you? Why do you look so pale and weak?"
The one who spoke was Mia. She was working for Kingston's for years and always treated Stella like her daughter. Seeing her pale face and weak demeanor, Mia was worried.
Her eyes fell on the reports Stella was holding, and she asked,
"Is everything all right?"
Stella forced a smile and replied,
"It's nothing. I'm alright."
"But your face doesn't look good. How about I cook something for you? Your favorite Aaloo Poori..." Mia offered.
"Mia... Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just..."
Stella glanced at the reports in her hand and said, "I haven't had my period for two months, and when I went to the hospital..."
She didn't finish her sentence, looking at Mia with a mix of expectation and worry...
They just stared at each other.
Mia understood what Stella wanted to say. She was pregnant. But Mia also knew about the relationship between Mr. RK and Stella. She didn't know what to say...
In the end, she just congratulated her...
Stella didn't say anything and kept staring at the reports in her hand.
She didn't know what to think or say...
She had been married to Rene Kingston for three years. But theirs was not a marriage of love...
It was a contract marriage, with a three-year time limit. Because the woman he loved was her sister...
RK had been about to marry her sister, Sophia, but for some reason, Stella had ended up replacing her sister. From the day they married, he had told her that their marriage was just a three-year contract and nothing more...
For RK, their marriage was indeed just a contract, but for Stella, it was a beautiful gift from God. Because only she knew how happy she was when she found out she was going to marry RK...
The man she had loved throughout her youth. All these years, Stella had given her best in this marriage, hoping that maybe, just maybe, their marriage would work out.
Maybe he wouldn't divorce her.
Maybe he would want to stay with her...
Maybe he would give their relationship a chance because of the child...
Stella was still lost in thought when suddenly, a voice came from the door, shattering all her hopes and illusions...
"I don't want this child..."
The voice was cold and hard.
Stella and Mia both turned to look in the direction of the voice.
RK was standing at the door, staring at Stella. His face was cold and expressionless. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking...
He had a very handsome face and blue eyes. His blue eyes were like the deep ocean. If you looked into them...
Then you would be drowned in it.
Chapter 2 Not His Mrs. Right
RK walked in and stood in front of Stella.
He appeared like a king, towering above the world and looking down upon everyone as if they were nothing.
With his tall frame and commanding aura, he exuded an undeniable power.
Stella sat on the sofa, overwhelmed by his presence.
She remained seated, staring at him, shocked by his words.
She never expected this man to be so cold-blooded, uttering such harsh words without a second thought.
There was no hesitation in his voice when he said he didn't want the child.
Stella looked into his eyes, trying her best to remain calm and hold back her tears. She didn't want to appear weak in front of this cold man.
The two of them just stared at each other in silence.
After a while, RK walked over and sat opposite Stella.
As he sat down, his assistant, Alex Triston, placed a stack of papers on the table. At the top of the papers were the words "Contract Expired."
Alex looked at Stella and said, "Miss Richard, according to your contract with Mr. RK, three years have now been completed. Please sign here and finalize the process."
Stella noted the change in how Alex addressed her—from Mrs. RK to Miss Richard. Even though she still hadn't signed her name. A mocking smile appeared on her face.
She was sure that Alex wouldn't have dared to take her so lightly, if it hadn't been ordered by someone, of course, and that someone was none other than her husband.
RK took the pen and signed his name without a pause or thought. After finishing, he looked at Stella and said,
"You can stay here for a week and look for the house."
Stella looked into the man's eyes which are calm as a lake...
There was no regret, sadness, or hesitation—nothing.
It was as if he felt nothing about their relationship, which had suddenly gone through such a big change...
But as this thought crossed her mind, she scolded herself.
"Stella, are you a fool?"
"How can you expect any regret or sadness from this stone-hearted man?"
But still, she couldn't control her emotions...
Because she had loved this stone-heated man for so many years.
Stella didn't say anything and just looked at the man with whom she had spent the past three years. She had seen his face every day, yet now, as she looked at him, she still found him strikingly handsome...
But... he was also the man who had shattered her heart into a thousand pieces.
She didn't want to show her vulnerability in front of him, so she tried her best not to cry. Her hand trembled as she held the pen.
She looked at the papers, saw his elegant and strong handwriting, and signed her name.
Just like her heart, her handwriting was also broken.
Stella was shattered inside, but she didn't show this on her face. After she signed her name, she took a deep breath and said...
"I am very grateful to Mr. Kingston that he allowed me to stay here for a week, but after our contract expires I don't think I should stay here. I will leave immediately..."
After speaking, Stella glanced at Mia and asked, "Mia, can you help me pack my things?"
Mia looked at Stella's face and saw how hard she trying not to cry and her heartache. She didn't want to do this, but she had to do it.
Stella went upstairs to pack her belongings, while RK watched her retreating figure, his emotions unreadable.
Stella looked around the room where she had lived for three years, her eyes turned blurred...
She can't hold back her tears.
She knew their marriage would end someday, but she hadn't anticipated such intense pain in her heart...
Stella didn't have many things to pack. She just packed her belongings but left everything RK had bought untouched— not even a single piece of clothing.
Mia watched her in silence, unsure of what to say.
Stella wiped away her tears and said, "Mia, don't worry about me. I'm fine. It's just that I'm not his Mrs. Right."
With that, she grabbed her bag and headed downstairs.
Downstairs...
RK was still sitting on the sofa, watching Stella. But Stella didn't want to look at him and was ready to leave...
"Where are you going?"
Suddenly, his cold voice cut through the silence.
Stella paused and turned to look at him.
She hadn't been on good terms with her family from the beginning, and after her marriage, it had been nearly impossible to maintain any connection with them.
As for him, they were now divorced, so she felt no reason or obligation to tell him where she was going...
"I don't think my whereabouts has anything to do with Mr. Kingston. We're already divorced and have nothing to do with each other. Mr. Kingston must be focused on his future wife, not on his ex-wife..."
Stella's tone was cold and it was like she was throwing daggers from her mouth...
She couldn't comprehend his hypocritical behavior.
When they were together, and she was at home, suffering from a fever, at that time this man didn't even show his care towards her....
He was too busy with his business and making money...
He didn't care about his wife who was dying from a fever.
She wondered if it was her imagination or not, but it felt as though, after mentioning his future wife, the temperature in the room had dropped a lot...
She felt a chill spread through her body and decided to leave.
"Stop for a while..."
Chapter 3 I Don't Want This Child
Stella heard his voice and stopped.
There was a little bit of hope in her heart.
The man's eyes were dark and cold, filled with mysterious thoughts, and a layer of fog surrounded him.
Suddenly, he spoke...
"I don't want this child. Don't forget to abort."
RK looked at the woman in front of him and thought...
She seemed like a pure and beautiful woman, and he didn't want her to carry his burden.
Stella's hand, which was holding her luggage, trembled, and the little bit of hope in her heart vanished.
She felt like someone had stabbed a knife into her heart. He had broken her heart so many times, but... she didn't know why she still felt hurt every time it happened.
"Boooom."
His words exploded in her head like a bomb, and the little bit of hope she had left in her heart was also gone.
The hands holding the bag tightened.
She felt like someone had stabbed her heart, and she could smell the blood.
Suddenly, she laughed at herself...
She felt like a fool. How could she expect anything from a man who was so cold toward his child?
"If you don't want this child, then why did you sleep with me?" She wanted to yell at him, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
He had once told her that he liked children, which was why she hadn't taken the pills. But...
It was as if he liked children but not with her.
Stella's heart was in so much pain, but she didn't want to let him see her tears. She didn't turn around, keeping her back facing him.
Stella took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Kingston, don't think too much. I also don't want this child at all. I have already decided to abort it."
She was about to leave but then stopped and said,
"One more thing, I hope we don't see each other again in this life."
After she said, Stella didn't stop for a minute and left. At first, she didn't want to leave this place, but now...
She felt suffocated.
Stella held her bag tightly and left without looking back.
RK watched the woman's back, struggling to keep herself straight and not stumble.
His eyes were dark and filled with unreadable emotions.
Only after her figure disappeared from his sight did his tense back relax.
Flashback end
"I am sorry, I didn't see you..."
Suddenly, a man bumped into Stella, who was standing in the hallway. Files fell to the ground.
But because of this she also came back to reality...
"No, I am sorry," she said, helping him pick up the files before going into the elevator. As the elevator door opened, Jack Paul stood outside and greeted her.
Jack Paul looked at Stella with a smile and said, "Stella, here you are. How are you? You are new here. If you need anything, please feel free to tell me."
Stella looked at him and nodded. "I am fine, thank you."
As they talked, they went to his office and sat down.
Jack looked at Stella and said, "Stella, I am very happy that you accepted my offer and came back." As he spoke, he handed her a red file and continued, "I am sure you have heard that our company is going to be acquired by someone. This file contains the reports I made; take a look."
Stella took the file and nodded.
Jack continued, "Many companies want to buy our company, but among all of them, RK Groups is the best. However, the price offered by Mr. RK was too low." He paused and said, "This time, I ask you to come back so that you can turn the situation around."
"RK Groups... Rene Kingston..."
Stella's hands holding the file trembled.
The memories she had locked away deep down in her heart suddenly resurfaced. Stella calmed herself and said,
"I will do my best."
"That's good," Jack laughed and said. "Now that you have taken on this project, I am not worried anymore."
Chapter 4 How Worthy of 70 Million
The next day, at a coffee shop...
Stella had already organized all the documents and asked the negotiation director of the RK Group to meet her at the coffee shop.
As she was waiting, a man wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses came over. But when he walked over and saw Stella, he looked shocked.
Stella also looked at the person in front of her and was shocked, too...
Because the one standing in front of her was RK's assistant, Alex Triston.
For a moment, both of them stayed quiet.
It was Stella who took the initiative and said, "Long time no see."
Alex heard her words and quickly regained his composure.
He nodded and sat down.
Stella didn't waste much time and went straight to the point. "Mr. Triston, here are the documents. If you find them satisfactory, please sign them."
As she spoke, she pushed the documents in front of him.
Alex looked at the eye-catching price of 70 million and was shocked. "Miss Richard, the RK Group can only offer 40 million. The price your company is asking for is very high."
Stella didn't want to sign this contract from the beginning. She would never let that man become her boss.
She felt like she was wasting her time on the RK Group and should find another company.
"It's alright, but we can't sign this contract."
She said, packing her things and deciding to leave.
Alex saw that she was about to leave and that she wasn't interested in this deal, and he panicked.
He rushed over and stopped her. "Miss Richard, please wait. Let me call and ask about the price again."
Stella stopped and nodded. "Of course."
Alex stepped to the side and made a call.
****
At the RK Group's CEO office...
RK was sitting in the head chair, listening to a report from the marketing department, when his phone rang.
RK glanced at the phone and hung up.
He didn't like being disturbed at work.
But after a few seconds, it rang again.
The people standing in the office saw his cold expression and trembled. They felt like the person on the other side was about to die.
RK's face didn't look good, and the people reporting to him felt a chill down their spines.
RK picked up the phone and asked, "What is it?" His voice was cold.
Alex reported the situation on the other side.
"Tell them it's not going to happen. 70 million is too much; they're not worth it." After he finished speaking, he was about to hang up.
But Alex said something that made him pause for a while.
His fingers tapped on the table, and after a minute, he replied,
"Okay, then let's agree to 70 million." After that, he paused for a moment and added, "Tell her I'm coming to the company, and ask her to personally explain to me how it's worth 70 million."
After he spoke, he hung up the phone.
There were some unknown emotions in his deep blue eyes.
The people from the marketing department heard his words and were shocked.
"The CEO is going to personally sign the contract."
"Is that negotiation really worth his visit?"
Moreover, they knew that in this negotiation, Mr. Kingston didn't need to be personally involved.
All of them had question marks on their faces.
****
Alex wasn't too far away, so Stella could hear parts of his conversation.
She heard Alex directly reporting her name to the person on the other side of the phone.
Within just three minutes...
"Miss Richard, wait! Mr. Kingston said that they have no problem with your price. The agreement must be set according to your company's plan. Let's quickly sign the deal so that no one can back out."
After he finished speaking, he took out the documents, signed his name, and handed the pen to Stella.
Looking at his arrogant attitude, as if he had already bought her company, Stella was a little shocked.
She stared at the pen in a daze.
She hadn't expected the agreement between the two companies to go so smoothly and effortlessly.
Stella felt like she had made her stand clear by not lowering her price and being firm in her decision.
But who would have thought that...
RK would be even more determined than she was in the acquisition of the company? He even agreed to sign the contract at her price.
"Didn't he pride himself on never changing his decisions, no matter what? Then why did he change this one?" she thought.
"Was it because, after living with the love of his life, he changed?"
But no matter what...
Now, what could she do? Stella took the pen and signed her name.
She didn't care about him anymore.
Anyway, she wasn't going to stay here.
Usually, she didn't want him to become her boss, but what could she do? She needed to finish this job and leave quickly.
Alex put the documents back, shook hands with her, and said, "Miss Richard, from now on, we're colleagues in the same company. Please take care of us in the future!"
Stella just gave him a forced smile.
Only she and God knew how much she didn't want this man to be her boss.
Alex looked at her and added, "Miss Richard, please go back to the company quickly. Mr. Kingston will be there in a while. He said he wants you to... personally explain how your company is worth 70 million."
Alex also didn't know why his boss wanted Miss Richard to do it personally, after what happened between them before.
But as an assistant, he could only do as he was told.
*****
On the way back to the company...
Stella was sitting in the car, but her mind was filled with thoughts of how RK would soon become her boss.
"Ahhh! Stella, you're the best. You just signed the contract as soon as you showed up!"
The one who speak was the assistant to the director of the company. "Stella, you don't know, but before you came, Mr. Paul sent many people to negotiate with Mr. Kingston, but he only kept lowering the price."
She hugged Stella and said happily, "Stella, you're our lucky star."
Stella just lowered her head and didn't speak. Because it wasn't what she wanted.
Lily continued, "Stella, you just came back, so you probably don't know much about the city, right?"
As she spoke, she leaned closer to Stella's ear and whispered, "Let me tell you, Mr. Kingston is the most handsome man in X City. He's not only handsome but also rich and capable. He's the dream man of many women in the world..."
Stella heard her words and felt speechless.
"I heard that he had a fiancée before, but he already left her, six years ago,"
Lily said.
"He didn't marry her sister?"
Stella couldn't believe they hadn't married yet.
Didn't he give her a divorce because he wanted to marry her sister?
She thought that by now, they must be married, have children, and be living happily together.
"Stella, here you are..."
When Jack heard that Stella had reached an agreement with RK Groups, he personally came to welcome her with a big smile on his face.
"Stella, you didn't disappoint me. Quickly, go to the meeting room and sit for a while. Mr. Kingston will be here soon, and you will come with me to welcome him."
Chapter 5 Met with Him After Six Years
"I don't want to go..."
Subconsciously, these words came out of Stella's mouth.
When she realized that she had voiced her inner thoughts, Stella paused and said, "Mr. Paul, I apologize for my behavior. But I don't want to go..."
Stella's voice was firm. "Mr. Paul, as you know, I just came back because of this contract, and now that everything is settled, I want to return to France and work at the company's head office like before."
After their divorce and what happened six years ago... Stella didn't want to see that man again. His words...
"I don't want the child...." still echoed in her mind.
After just coming back... Stella didn't want to see that man again. That cold-blooded and stone-hearted man had already broken her heart a thousand times, and she didn't want to experience that pain again...
Maybe deep down in her heart, she still hadn't been able to forget about him completely, or maybe it was something else...
But one thing she was sure of, she didn't want to see him again.
If there was even a little bit of love left in her heart, she wanted to kill it as soon as possible and stay away from him.
Jack looked at Stella and said, "Stella, it's not that I don't want you to go back, but now you know that the company was bought by Mr. RK, and whether you leave the country or not... It will be decided by him..."
What?
Six years ago, her marriage was in his hands, and now her work...
Stella was reluctant to let him decide her future...
She felt like she had fallen into some trap...
For him... She wanted to stay as far away as possible...
Jack looked at her face and knew that she was not in a good mood. He said, "Stella... Okay, then you just go back and rest for a while. After Mr. RK takes over the company completely, you can apply for your leave again..."
"Apply to him..."
Now, he would decide if she could go or not.
When Stella thought like this, she felt like her head was about to explode...
Right now, she didn't want anything... She just wanted to leave this place.
Stella knew that he would come to the company later, and there was a chance she would meet him. So, for now at least, it was best for her to leave as soon as possible so she could avoid him...
Stella thought and didn't say anything, and was about to go.
But just as she took the first step, she heard someone say...
"Mr. RK..."
Stella paused...
She heard heavy footsteps approaching her. Suddenly, her heart started beating very fast, and she didn't know why, but she got nervous...
Maybe it was because she hadn't seen him for so long, and now...
He was in front of her...
Stella looked up and saw the man coming over, surrounded by several bodyguards. He looked just like a king, walking over...
The man was wearing a black suit and a white shirt. As he walked, he adjusted the watch on his wrist. Among all of the people, he looked very handsome and different. Like a moon surrounded by stars...
He looked very handsome and sexy, and many people were attracted to him. But because of the aura around his body that said, "Stay away," no one dared to approach him.
It had been six years...
But when Stella saw him, her heart was not calm anymore.
At first, when he came, she stopped unconsciously...
But now she wanted to escape...
She didn't want to meet him because there was nothing between them...
As she thought this, Stella adjusted her breathing, lowered her head, and decided to pass by him...
But suddenly...
An arm came in front of her and stopped her, "Miss Richard, please stop."
The bodyguard stopped her rudely...
Stella stopped and saw that RK was standing in front of her. He wasn't standing far away, so she could still smell the faint fragrance coming from his body...
His aura was very strong, and with his height of 1.88 meters, he stood in front of her, and his aura surrounded her.
"Stella Richard,"
He spoke word by word...
As his words fell, everyone's attention focused on them...
His cold eyes looked at her like she was a stranger, but what he said implied they knew each other...
He spoke her name like he was chewing on an intriguing word.
"You stay..."
As soon as he spoke, and Stella combined his words, it was like a bomb to her...
His words were straightforward, and his meaning was pretty clear.
Not only had she met this man as soon as she came back, but even her return to France was now uncertain...
"Mr. RK, Stella just came back from France and still has some jet lag, so I asked her to go back and have some rest."
Jack Paul came forward and tried to help her, "What's more, in the past few days, she has been very busy with company affairs and hasn't had a good rest. It's reasonable for her to leave work a little early..."
Jack had a good impression of Stella, and in the past few years, he had seen her work and knew that she was very hardworking, so he always took good care of her.
That's why he didn't want to let her ruin her first impression.
RK just listened to him but didn't say anything. He remained silent, and no one dared to make a sound. After a while, he still didn't say anything and walked forward...
Stella sighed in relief. Looking at his back, Stella thought that he had left, and she was ready to leave...
But a cold voice came from behind and echoed in her ear, "Stella Richard, follow me..."
****
It had been an hour already...
All the while, RK didn't speak to her and didn't let her go. He just made her follow him.
Along the way, Mr. Paul introduced the company's surroundings and internal and external affairs to him. During this whole time, he didn't look at her again, and the distance between them was the same as between a boss and an employee.
"Ding... Dong..."
Suddenly, an alarm rang.
Stella quickly took out her phone and switched off the alarm. It was already 4 p.m.
She had set up the alarm to pick up her son from school because she was afraid she would forget when she got busy with her work.
Although there were many people, no one spoke louder than RK when they walked beside him. That's why it was so quiet that her alarm sounded very loud and inappropriate in this situation...
Stella just lowered her head and was ready to get scolded again...
"That's all. Let's stop there."
His calm and cold voice fell on her ears. "Let's stop for the day. If you have anything to report, talk to my assistant. I am leaving... I still have to pick up my daughter from school."
As he said this, he left...
"Boom."
Stella felt like her head was about to explode.
It was the same feeling as when he said he didn't want this child.
So, it's like that... he already had a daughter.
Chapter 6 Her Son Saved His Daughter
"Mr. RK has a four-year-old daughter... Ahhh...But I had never seen her before because Mr. RK never let her appear on the screen. I almost thought it was not true..."
"But now that Mr. RK himself mentioned it, it must be true."
After RK left the company, everyone was abuzz with gossip about his daughter.
No matter if it was men or women, everyone was involved in this gossip.
Stella had been away from the city, and she had deliberately blocked all news about him from her life. She had no idea what had happened in X City over the past six years.
"Even though Mr. RK has a four-year-old daughter, he still didn't find out who was her mother. What do you think, who will be her mother?" someone asked.
"How could she not have a mother? Didn't he have a fiancée?"
When Stella left the company, everyone was still talking about RK and his daughter.
As Stella walked out of the company, her head was in a mess.
She didn't know why anything about him still affected her...
Looking out the window, Stella mused on how much had changed in these six years. For example...he had a four-year-old daughter.
*****
Outside the kindergarten, Stella watched as a group of children coming out with their teachers, walking toward their parents.
"Darling!" A crisp, childlike voice cut through the crowd and reached Stella's ears.
Adrian had spotted Stella from afar and ran towards her.
When he reached her, he threw himself into her arms, wrapping his arms around her legs.
"Darling! Did you come here to pick me up?"
The little boy wore a red jacket and carried a small blue bag. He was also wearing a red cap and looking at Stella with two little blue eyes on his face and blinking with joy.
He was already very cute and chubby. But now when he was wearing a red school uniform, he looked cuter and his face looked more fair and chubby.
Stella hugged her precious son tightly, showering his little face with kisses. "It's only been a day since I last saw you, and I already missed you so much. Tell me what should I do?"
Adrian giggled, showing off his row of small white teeth. His face lit up with a smile, but he replied with a touch of arrogance,
"Then, My Darling, now you had the opportunity don't let it slip away. Cherish your time when you are still with me. Love me more, care for more, cook my favorite food, and play with me...Don't blame me or cry, once the opportunity slips from your hands."
He spoke like a little adult.
"You naughty boy... How can you say something like that?" Stella said with a smile.
She couldn't help but pinch his little nose and kiss his cheeks again. Only after that, she smiled with satisfaction..
No matter what, every time Stella looked at her son's smile she forgot about all the tiredness of the day. No matter how tired or bitter her day was, as long as she was with her baby, she forget everything.
He was everything in her life.
Even though there are only two of them at home, it was still best for her.
"Hello!"
A voice interrupted their moment, and Adrian's kindergarten teacher came over and greeted with a smile.
It hadn't been long since Stella returned to the country, but before she did, her best friend and Adrian's godmother had already found the best school for him and taken care of all the necessary arrangements.
That's why Stella was able to enroll Adrian in school as soon as they arrived.
Stella stood up and greeted the teacher. "Hello! I'm Adrian Richard's mother. How was his performance at school today?"
The teacher looked at Adrain with a smile and replied, "Adrian is a very sensible and sweet child. Today, he even saved Mr. Kingston's daughter."
RK's daughter...
Stella didn't understand. From the day she had come back, she didn't know why, but she was hearing that man's name everywhere. Now she even heard his name at her son's school...
The teacher continued, "Mr. RK's daughter, Alia, has a heart disease. She fainted on the playground this morning and at that time teachers are not around.. The other students were too scared to help."
"At that time it was Adrain who walked over and saw her like this and quickly run to the infirmary and informed the teachers so we can save her on time."
As the teacher explained, Stella pieced together the situation.
Her son, Adrian, and RK's daughter... are the same school.
His daughter had heart disease and Adrian saved her.
"How is Mr. RK's daughter doing now..."
Stella asked subconsciously.
The teacher replied, "She's fine now. Miss Alia Kingston has fainted at school before, but she's doing well."
Then the teacher added, "Adrian and his mother, could you please stay a little longer? Alia's teacher informed Mr. RK's butler about what happened. Mr. RK said he wants to thank Adrian and would like to invite him to dinner at his home for thanking him... . He also mentioned that Adrian could bring his family along."
"Ah..."
Stella heard the teacher's words and was shocked.
She held Adrian's hand tightly and shook her head at the teacher.
"There's no need for that. Adrian helped the child out of kindness, and that's enough. We don't need anything in return. Let's skip the dinner. I still have things to do, so Adrian and I will take our leave first. Please take good care of him in the future."
With that, Stella quickly left with Adrian.
Six years ago, he said that he didn't want the child at that time she also didn't think about the consequences and said that she also don't want the child.
It was already messy to meet him again. She can't let her precious son involved in this again.
He said that he didn't want the child. She was afraid that after he found out about her son he would try to get baby.
"Chi..."
"Bang..."
As soon as Stella took Adrian's hand and prepared to leave, she noticed a few black cars pulling up in front of the kindergarten. Five cars in total lined the street, their doors opening and closing in perfect unison as a group of people got off. It looked like they are trained before.
In the broad daylight, because of the group of people's arrival it spread some kind of black and dark aura around the kindergarten.
Just like everyone became quiet and this strong group lined up...
Suddenly, a child's voice came from behind,. "Alia! Your father is here to pick you up!"
Stella holding Adrian's hand also paused for a moment because of all of this.
The teacher beside her shook her head and said. "It's always like this. As long as Mr. RK comes to pick up Miss Alia there are always so many cars. Some so many people love this little girl, it's pity that she has a heart disease and she is so spoiled."
Silence...
Alia... She must be his and Sophia's child.
He could accept Alia, but he wouldn't want Adrian...
Wasn't he in such a hurry to marry Sophia back when they got divorced that time?
