Chapter 1164
Just as she appeared on the first floor, she threw everyone there into a deep shock.
That familiar voice...
Everyone‘s first reaction was that they must have been mistaken.
But when they saw that familiar face of hers appearing among the crowd, the room got so quiet that the sound of a
pin drop would be like a shriek.
Time seemed to stop at that moment. It was as if the moment had frozen in place, and the clock stopped ticking
because of her.
Weston‘s eyes were glued on that face in front of him, suddenly doubting if he was actually dreaming right now. 1
But the sun was still high in the sky. How could he be dreaming?
The little girl sensed something strange going on around her. She twisted and turned, but her chubby arms still
clasped themselves around Weston‘s neck.

Her voice brought Weston back to the present.
Before he could react, the woman in front of him took the little boy‘s hand and rushed towards him. She reached
for the girl in his arms and cried, “Give her back to me!”
Weston instinctively stepped away from her and held the girl even more tightly in his arms.
Seeing this, Stella‘s expression changed drastically. Initially, she was anxious and dismayed, but now she seemed to
be burning with rage.
“Give my daughter back to me now!” she yelled.
The word “daughter” dropped like a bombshell in the room. Everyone exchanged looks with each other as they
tried to digest the new shocking information...
Stella Sealey was still alive, and she had finally returned. She had even brought her daughter back with her.
But what about the little boy she was holding? Who was he then?
Emma had never seen Stella looking so angry before. Her eyes reddened, then suddenly bawled her eyes out.
Warm streams of tears streaked down her cheeks.
She assumed Mommy was still angry with her because she made Elias‘ shirt dirty.
“I’m… I’m sowwy Mommy…”
A pang of pain spread out from Stella’s chest at the sight of her daughter crying, as if someone was clutching at
her heart in their hand.
“Give her back to me…” she repeated, her voice shaky now as if she was holding back her tears.
She could not forgive herself for causing this. How could she have left her daughter alone at the table? She
shouldn’t have trusted a stranger to look after her own child, assuming it would be fine since she would only be
gone for a few minutes anyway.
Weston could see the sudden change in her face, but he did not move. His eyes still stared at her, but giant
turbulent waves like the dark, tempestuous sea had long crashed against his heart.
After all these years, this woman had reappeared in front of him just like that. It all happened so suddenly without
any warning signs at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven for someone with steely self–control like Weston, the corners of his eyes couldn‘t hide an almost imperceptible
sign of reddening.
He had to grit his teeth as he blurted out each word slowly to ask her, “Tell me, who are you? Who is she?”
Stella took a deep breath and avoided eye contact, only glancing at Emma, who was still in his arms.
“She‘s my daughter,” she replied. “Can you give her back to me now, Mr. Ford?”
As soon as everyone there heard her call him Mr. Ford, it was as if the riddle was completely solved. There could
be no more doubts now—this woman was Stella Sealey.
She was not someone who looked exactly like her or sounded just like her–she was definitely Stella Sealey!
Weston subconsciously tightened his grip around Emma, inadvertently hurting the girl.
“Unkie...” Emma couldn’t help but complain. “It hurts...”
Stella‘s voice turned raspy as she pleaded with the man,”
How much longer are you going to hold onto my daughter? Give her back to me, please. She‘s afraid of strangers.”
It was only then that Weston got his senses back. He stared deeply at the girl in his arms, scrutinizing her eyes and
her brows.

She had looked so familiar to him the moment he laid eyes on her. So this girl was her daughter...
