Chapter 1513
Jaylene looked at the cheap canvas bag and compared it with her designer bag that had not even been used. It was
a struggle to maintain her smile.' How could she bring herself to swap my high-end bag for this poor offering? ' she
thought.
"Stella, you're so thoughtful," Wenham praised.
Suppressing the sourness in her heart, Jaylene opened the bag and could not help but sigh. Sure enough, as she
suspected, Stella had given her only cheap, low-quality items.
Stella smiled, as she said, "You can have a good look at them, Jaylene. If you don't like them, I can exchange more
stuff for you."
Jaylene looked at the insincere look on her face and forced a smile. "Since you personally chose them, I bet they
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmust be the best in your eyes. Our tastes are so similar. If you like them, I'm sure I will too."
Stella paused. She looked at her and smirked. "That's good to hear."
With their daughter officially moving back home, Wenham was overjoyed. He busied himself in the room, as he
feared that his daughter might feel uncomfortable. After everything was set up, he spent quite a while chatting with
Stella. It was mostly about her childhood. Stella shared her stories with him, and over an hour had passed before
they knew it.
Darcie, who had been quiet the whole time, reminded them, "Wenham, it's getting late. Let's go back to our room.
It's Stella's first day here, so she might need some time to get used to the room by herself."
Wenham nodded reluctantly and turned to Stella. "Stella, get some rest. My room is upstairs from yours. If you
need anything, just call me."
"Alright. Good night, dad.”
Jaylene bid her farewell, as Wenham and Darcie left the room.
Trevor sat on the bed and opened the drawer of the bedside table. He took out a photo album and handed it to
Stella. "Open it and take a look," he said.
Stella hesitated. She grabbed it and opened the first page, revealing a wedding photo.
The man stood tall and handsome in the picture with a hearty smile. The woman had solid features and a hint of
determination in her eyes. She looked like Stella, except for the mole on her nose.
She gently brushed her fingers across the people in the photo and murmured, "So, you questioned my identity
when you first saw me?"
With such striking similarities between the two and Stella's age being close to the deceased Saun family daughter,
Trevor was determined to verify it no matter how improbable it sounded.
Trevor nodded. "When you and Keegan got married, we were all abroad. Jaylene wasn't feeling well at the time, so
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwe couldn't make it to Keegan's wedding. I would have brought you back years earlier if I had seen you, then."
Sometimes, things in this world just seem to happen by chance.
When Keegan got married, Trevor had already booked his flight. But suddenly, Jaylene caught the flu, which quickly
turned into pneumonia.
Since it was an epidemic, everyone in the family except Trevor fell ill. He had no choice but to cancel his flight and
stay to take care of everyone.
At the time, several people in the group did not make it to Keegan's wedding. They were all urging him to send a
photo, but Keegan did not.
They all knew that Keegan did not like to take pictures, so he might not even have taken any wedding photos.
'Who's the unfortunate girl that got stuck with this guy?' thought Trevor back then. He did not imagine that it would
be his sister.
Stella continued to turn the album pages. The first few were pictures of her parents at work and at home. There
were also photos of them with their other relatives. Stella turned a couple more pages and came across an image
of a baby lying in a wicker basket. The picture seemed to be taken when the baby was a month old.
