NovelEnglishChapter 781 Rianne Saw Way Too Much
+8 Pearls
The moment Eddie stepped out of the Dawson residence, he was practically gloating; he stripped off his clothes
as he walked. To his surprise, the trick had actually worked-but the stench was so unbearable it almost made
him gag himself.
Rianne had just gotten out of the car.
And there, right in front of her, was Eddie-completely stark naked.
Their eyes met. Eddie blinked but didn’t say a word; he bolted straight into his own car.
Rianne remained rooted to the spot, staring at the pile of clothes Eddie had tossed onto the ground, utterly
dumbfounded.
“Ugh...” The stench hit her next, so strong she nearly retched. She fought down the wave of nausea and
hurriedly fled the scene.
Inside the house, a servant was frantically spraying air freshener, waving the bottle around as though battling
the smell itself.
Rianne immediately caught the sstench clinging to Eddie's discarded clothes.
The butler approached respectfully. “Ms. Dawson will be down in a moment.”
“Alright.”
Rianne nodded.
The butler had juice and coffee brought over; Rianne opted for juice.
About twenty minutes later, Stella finally cdown the stairs. Her skin looked freshly cooled, damp strands of
hair clinging to her forehead-it was obvious she'd just showered.
“Rianne.”
Stella's tone carried an apology. “I meant to cdown and greet you earlier, but something unexpected came
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtup.”
“Because of Dr. Eddie, right?”
“You saw him?”
Eddie was internationally famous; of course Rianne recognized him.
And since she, too, had a place on the international stage, it wasn’t impossible they'd met

before-though they'd never really crossed paths.
Rianne set down her glass of juice and nodded. “Yeah, | just happened to catch him... completely naked.”
“What?”
“Walking and stripping at the stime!”
Stella went quiet.
She should’ve known. Eddie had made himself reck like that on purpose.
“Why are you suddenly here in Falvaria? Weren't you supposed to head to Yalvoria?”

“There's an academic conference here, so | thought I'd drop by and see you,” Rianne explained.
Her gaze drifted to Stella's clearly rounded belly. “Stella, | really envy you. Your birth parents may have treated
you poorly, but here in Falvaria... you have a home.”
Home. That single word carried a quiet ache in her voice.
Stella heard it too and found herself at a loss for how to comfort her. Home...
Back in Rivermount, Stella had witnessed just how cold blood ties could be.
But with the Dawson family, she had also seen the rare warmth of a harmonious household. Having a good
family meant having a place for the heart to rest; without that, one drifted like duckweed on the water, rootless
and untethered.
Stella lifted her orange juice and took a sip. “How long do you plan to stay in Yalvoria before heading back to
Rivermount?”
“I'm not going back.”
“What?”
“I'm planning to settle in Yalvoria long term-I told you before.”
“And Tempest? He agreed to that?”
Tempest... Strictly speaking, the Hale family wasn’t truly her home, yet she had spent so many years there.
Unlike Stella, Rianne’s situation was complicated, Tempest’s mother and sister had never really liked her.
Even though Tempest had lived with her outside the He estate for years, holidays and festivals always meant
returning home.

When she was young, she hadn't understood why they hated her so much.
Now, she did. As long as she stayed with Tempest, she would never know peace.
“Whether he agrees or not doesn’t matter anymore; I'm just... tired.”
Her voice was heavy with weariness, laced with a hint of sorrow.
“Stella, | need your help.”

“Then what do you wantto do?”
