Chapter 1483
The place was empty, and no one was there.
Although that was the case, Stella did not believe that it was just her imagination. The feeling of being watched was
simply too intense and impossible to ignore.
'Could it be paparazzi?' she wondered to herself.
The Palace had finished airing for some time now, and the show's popularity had cooled down too. Although the
role gained her some fame, she was not particularly a hot shot that would make paparazzi follow her.
Just as she was thinking about that, Keegan’s car pulled up in front of her. "Get in."
Stella snapped out of her thoughts and got into the car.
In the car, Stella kept looking out of the window until the car finally drove out of the parking lot. Then, Keegan
asked," What were you looking at?"
Stella averted her gaze. "I feel like someone was watching me when I was waiting for you just now, but I couldn’t
see anyone around."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKeegan paused. "I'll have Aldor check the surveillance footage later."
Stella was a little surprised. "I thought you would say that I was just overthinking."
Keegan turned the steering wheel, as he said, "I certainly hope so."
Overthinking would be a lot better than someone actually following them.
It was not easy for someone to enter the building of Vinci Rivera, but... even Keegan himself could not be too
certain that the office was entirely safe. So, it would be better for them to be more cautious.
Keegan drove the car into a garden-like place.
Stella thought that Keegan was taking the opportunity to bring her to meet some friends. But it turned out that it
was actually a private restaurant when they went inside.
The place was quiet and secluded. However, the menu was outstanding.
During the meal, Keegan asked, "Have you officially changed your name?"
Stella nodded. "Yeah, I'm going to have my mother's last name. We're just waiting for the right time to publicly
announce it now."
Keegan paused before he said, "Is Uncle Wenham okay with it?"
Stella said, "Dad was the one who suggested it. He said it was an agreement she made with Mom a long time ago."
Wenham loved her so much, yet he was fine with her having his wife's last name. That made Stella feel that
Wenham
must have loved her mother very much. Otherwise, he would not have honored this promise that no one knew
about even after so many years.
He could just be selfish and make Stella have his own last name since nobody would have known anyway.
Keegan recalled some shattered memories from his childhood, and he could remember that Wenham and Freesia
were indeed the most loving couple among his parents' friends.
His own father was obsessed with work while his mother indulged herself in materialistic pursuits. Although
Marshall's parents would always be very respectful toward each other, they seemed to lack the intimacy of a
married couple. As for Carter’s parents, they had an open relationship. Vermont's parents were perhaps the
closest, but they were more like partners who shared a common goal.
Only Trevor's parents were different.
Keegan remembered a time when their kindergarten organized a picnic to improve the relationship between the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmparents and children.
Cordelia knew about it and forced his parents to participate with him.
It suddenly rained midway through the picnic. Afraid of her bag getting wet, Dahlia ran off to find shelter, leaving
him and his father behind.
His father hurriedly packed their things and picked him up before finding a place to hide from the rain.
He turned around to Trevor and saw something that he would never forget.
Freesia held Trevor up while Wenham shielded them both with his coat. The rainwater flowed above the coat and
down Wenham's back. Then, Freesia extended her arm and lifted the coat behind Wenham to prevent him from
getting soaked.
He remembered this scene for many years, and he envied them very much. It was to the point where he wished
that he could be a part of their family. He had no idea why he felt that way. However, now that he had gone through
a marriage, he only realized that he envied the love and care they showed each other. He envied having a normal
family relationship.
Now, he was indeed going to be a part of that family. It made him wonder if, in a way, his childhood wish had finally
come true.
"Why are you smiling like a fool?"
