NovelEnglishChapter 271:
“Daddy, | want a mommy like Aunt Stella. Aunt Sophia is so annoying. | don’t like her. Daddy, will you not marry
her? She scoldswhen you're not at home,” Alia complained.
One had to admit, Alia was quite talented in expressing her opinions. Not only did she praise one person, but she
also insulted another. She really had a way with words.
Stella felt speechless. It seemed Alia had brainwashed Adrian in just a few days, and it was serious. Adrian had
immediately started showing favor to RK’s side. There were clear signs of rebellion.
“Alia, stop talking nonsense,” RK quickly interrupted, stopping her before she said more.
In truth, RK secretly felt that Alia’s suggestion wasn’t bad. It was a situation he couldn't ignore.
After dinner, RK instructed the driver to take Alia home, which gave him the opportunity to chat briefly with
Stella and Adrian. It wasn’t until around eight o’clock in the evening that RK left with Stella to take her home.
As expected, RK drove Stella home. On the way, she leaned against the window, her face relaxed as she drifted
into a deep sleep.
RK remembered the day she had fainted and ended up in the hospital, pale and frail. But lately, she seemed
better.

Adrian's recovery had helped her a lot, but the court summons looming over her was likely still weighing on her
mind. Truthfully, RK had only meant to intimidate her initially, but now the lawsuit had becinevitable. He
couldn’t back down from his decision, nor could he ask for forgiveness.
When had RK ever backed down from anything?
When they arrived at Stella’s apartment, RK didn’t want to wake her. He watched her sleep peacefully for a few
moments before she naturally stirred awake.
“Hmm, have we arrived?” Stella blinked, still a bit groggy. She glanced around, confirming she was home. “Thank
you, RK.”

“You're welcome. Just take care of yourself.”
“RK, I've noticed... you've changed a lot.” Stella's words cout unexpectedly.
“Changed? How so?” RK asked, amused.
Stella shook her head softly. “You never used to think about others. Did Alia change you?”
RK smiled, but he didn’t answer. Instead, he turned the car around and left.
He wanted to say, “No, you are the one who changed me.”
When Stella returned to her apartment, she felt completely exhausted. She took a quick shower and collapsed
into bed. Vaguely, she slipped into a dream—a dream that felt more like reality. It was surreal, as if she were
reliving her emotions from an event that had truly happened.
In her dream, Adrian had fallen ill and was hospitalized. Stella had taken leave from work to care for him. After
Adrian recovered, she returned to the company and found that, surprisingly, no one was gossiping about her.
The situation confused her. It was only later that Emily explained to her that RK had covered for her absence by
claiming she had been sent on a business trip abroad.
Stella was grateful for RK’s help, but her grudge against him remained. No matter what good he did, it didn’t
change the fact that he was trying to take Adrian away from her.
Life went on as usual at the company. No one questioned her absence, and she had returned hin a hurry,
thankful for the excuse RK had provided. Even though she had lost weight and looked worn out, scolleagues
even expressed concern for her.
Everything seemed calm, until she received a sudden phone call. The voice on the other end said that RK had
been kidnapped and instructed her to cto the beach to wait for him.
Panicked, Stella grabbed her phone and rushed to the beach without even thinking of calling the police. But
when she arrived, there was no one in sight. Desperately, she searched for RK, her heart pounding in her chest.
Tears began streaming down her face.

“RK... RK, where are you?” she called out, her voice shaking with worry.
“Cout! Where did you go?”
She shouted again, but still, there was no response. Her heart raced faster. Was this scruel prank?
Regardless, her emotions overwhelmed her, and she couldn't stop crying.
“RK, please cout!”
Just as she was about to give up, RK appeared from the shadows with a bouquet of flowers.
Stella's tears continued to fall, mixing with her anger and anxiety. She watched as he knelt before her, pulled out
a ring, and proposed.
“Stella, I've made up my mind. Let's get married. | love you.”
His affectionate gaze was fixed on her as he waited for her answer.
In the background, she could hear voices cheering for her. Adrian, Alia, and Emily were all there, watching her.
What was she supposed to say? Yes or no?
When Stella finally woke up from the dream, her body was drenched in cold sweat. She glanced at the clock—
4:45 AM.
