free𝑤ebnovel.com

Stella hear these words and her back stiffened...

It takes so much courage for her to come back to the Richard family. And they... They are inviting RK as well...

It was already enough for Stella to see that man’s cold face in the company but they are going to see his cold face on the weekend also...

Sophia hesitates to call. She wanted to RK come as well, but she also don’t want the two of them to meet again. But under the watching eyes of David, Sophia took her phone and called...

"Stella! Your sister is always like this. She had only become tall but she was still childish in her heart. Don’t mind it."

Compared to Sophia, David like Stella’s nature more. Because of her, he was always at ease and did not worry much.

Everyone was sitting in the living room. But it was David who talk more, as for Sophia and Isabelle, they were silent or just give her a cold look...

As for Tristan, he was sitting on the single sofa on the other side and didn’t say much. Only when someone asks something, then he just replied...

Sitting like this, Stella felt embarrassed.

She made some excuses and went to the kitchen to get some fresh air.

Stella walks towards the fridge to get some water.

However, she heard some footsteps behind her.

When she turned back she saw a tall figure standing in front of her...

Tristan stood behind Stella and her eyes fell on her hand which was holding the door of the fridge and bending over to get some water from the fridge...

Adrian specially chose a dress for her to cheer her up. She was wearing a blue knee-length dress and when she bent over to get some water...

Her white two straight long fair legs were exposed in the air.

Stella felt a little uncomfortable under his eyes and decide to leave after getting some water.

But as she moved, she heard someone behind her say, "Don’t drink cold water. Your stomach is not strong enough to digest it."

Stella’s footsteps paused...

Because these words are very familiar to her...

She had heard these words since she was a child.

Since Young, Stella’s stomach was not strong and she can’t eat cold food or drink cold water. It will cause stomach ache...

Sometimes in the summer, after she comes back from outside, she often takes some cold drink from the fridge to drink. But after she was caught by Tristan, he scolded her.

That’s why, when she took cold drinks, she made sure to finish them before coming back home. So that Tristan would not find...

But her stomach was not good and can’t take it. It start to hurt as soon as she finished drinking but she can’t control herself...

Especially, when she was still young and loved to eat cold food.

Just like that...

One day when Stella took some cold drinks from the fridge in the middle of the night. As soon as she finished drinking her stomach start to hurt...

It was so painful that she broke into a cold sweat and rolled over the ground uncomfortably. But no one in the Richard family cared about her. In the middle of the night, barefoot, Stella went to Tristan’s room in a sorry state...

Because at that time, it was only Tristan who care about her in the Richard family. When Tristan saw her like this, he didn’t even change his pajamas and held her keys, and took her to the hospital while crossing so many red lights...

When she had a stomach ache, he will never blame her. Even he took good care of her. But once she recovered... Tristan used all kinds of methods to punish her...

Sometimes When Stella refuses to accept the punishment given to her... Then he will use 100 ways to frame her...

She felt like he had a book named, "100 ways to framed Stella by Tristan Davis."

For example, putting some cockroach in her school bag to scare her, turning off the lights when she was in the bathroom, or taking out the house keys from her bag so that she can’t go back home after getting off the school...

One day, when he took her key, Stella stood in front of the door of the house for so long. Only after he makes her repeat 1000 times that she was wrong and don’t repeat it until her throat becomes dry...

After that, he took a cup of warm water and went downstairs to open the door leisurely.

This man was five years older than her. She was in high school and he was in college. But he didn’t behave like someone in the college but more like...

A primary class student...

Childish!

In the Richard family, Stella can only rely on Tristan.

But... This kind of dependence was only limited to the relationship between brother and sister. There are no other complicated feelings in her heart...

But...

Later, on the day when she was going to get married to RK, Tristan confessed his feelings to her that... He likes her but not as a brother likes his sister...

But a man like a woman...

But Stella can only able to say one sentence... "Tristan, I always regarded you as my brother, nothing else..."

After that, she married RK and Tristan left the country...

All these years, Stella didn’t know where he was or what was he doing.

But he had never come in front of her again...

It’s been so long since she heard some caring words from him...

At this time, Stella don’t know what she was feeling.

Was it memory? Or... An apology. There are too many emotions that she can’t point at one...

"I will do it."

She heard his soft voice. After nine years, his voice changed a lot. It became more magnetic and mature than before...

Tristan reached out and took the cup from her hand.

He poured out half the cold water from the cup and added half a cup of warm water. After that, he gives it back to in her hand...

Silence.

The kitchen was so quiet. Expect from the sound coming from the living room, there was no other sound in the kitchen.

Stella leans against the fridge and faces Tristan in front of her. She was caught between the fridge and him. She doesn’t know if she would take a detour of embarrassment or wait for him to leave.

After a while, Tristan said, "You had divorced him."

This was more a statement rather than a question.

Stella replied faintly, "Yes."

After that, there is silence again.

Sometimes some people are just like this. The more you are familiar with someone. After being separated from that person for so long, the more unfamiliar you become...

Tristan and Stella belong to those types of people.

Stella lowered her gaze and look to the ground. Because she realized that she can’t look into his eyes calmly. Because there are too many emotions in those eyes and she didn’t know what they means...

"Brother, let’s talk outside."

Stella decides to use this title to talk to him.

It means that their relationship turns back just like in the past.

But as soon as she finished speaking and was about to leave, a palm stopped her...

"Don’t call me this again. I had never regarded you as my sister."

Ever since David had brought Sophia and Isabelle into the Richard family. Stella always used to address him like this, just like Sophia.

Because she had always regarded him as her brother Since she was young.

But what he had not expected was that she will use this reason to reject him. Just because he was her nominal brother...

Tristan hates this title and never like it.

Stella pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. She doesn’t know what to say.

Stella didn’t dare to call him the same again...

She knows this man’s character very well. It was not good to go against his wishes because if you go, you would not have a good ending at the end.

Tristan held her slender wrist. He just held it lightly but you can see a lot of affection and emotions in this. He lowered his voice and said softly...

"You can call me just like father, Stella."

In the World, except for her grandmother, he is the only one who calls her like this.

No, there is also RK. He pretended to like her grandmother and called her Stella in front of her grandmother...

Stella was afraid that she will decide what to call him again so she quickly replied...

"Oh."

"Well, let’s go out and find the opportunity to talk."

After she finished speaking he let go of her wrist and followed her behind out of the kitchen.

Compared to the atmosphere in this kitchen, the outside was more lively.

She don’t know when RK had come, but after that, all members of the Richard family had only one thing to do...

Follow this man all around.

He was still wearing a suit and tie. It was no different from when he was attending some kind of social dinner or a meeting.

He comes to visit the Richard family just like this like he was attending some social dinner. There is no casual air around her. But it gives the feeling of distance from strangers...

Sophia looked in the direction of Stella and saw her coming out of the kitchen with her brother. They looked very close to each other...

Sophia held RK’s arm and look at him for few times before saying... "Stella you are taking water in the kitchen for so long. Are you talking with my brother in a private?"

After she finished speaking everyone become silent. They all looked in the direction of Stella. Tristan was also following behind her and replied...

"It’s been so long Since we met each other. It was normal for us to have so many things to talk about." He said normally.

When Sophia saw that it was her brother who had spoken for Stella! She had thought that it has been so long and her brother had given up on her.

But it seemed like it was not true... She was just overthinking...

"Hmmm. Stella, I don’t know what kind of magic you have. It’s been so long, but my brother still didn’t give up on you."

Sophia had specially said those words in front of RK. Because she wanted him to think that Stella was just trying to seduce men everywhere.

But in the end...

It was still her brother who had replied in the place of Stella. But this time he didn’t hide the meaning of his words and said directly, "It was not hidden from anyone that I like Stella since young."

Stella was dumb stuck.

What’s going on him with today? Was he not always a role model of a brother to me? Why is he talking like this? Did he had taken the wrong medicine? Why is he saying all this in the public? Didn’t he see that RK was still here?"

Stella thought.

This time, Sophia was speechless and had nothing to say.

She looked at the man whom she was holding in her arms...

RK was looking at his father-in-law and mother-in-law but his eyes are fixed on Stella.

"RK do you think my dress looks pretty?"

Sophia quickly changed the topic and chatted with RK.

Only now did Stella look at her and realised that Sophia, who was just walking around the house in her pajamas changed her clothes and stood in front of him like a model.

She is also wearing a dark blue dress. But Stella’s dress reached her knee but she was wearing a very short dress. It was so short that she can even expose her panties...

Because RK was very tall in front of her and she didn’t want to look short. She was afraid that she didn’t look good.

That’s why even though they are at home, She was wearing 10-centimeter high heels which made him look perfect match.

Isabella, awkwardly said, "RK you didn’t know Sophia cared about you so much. She was afraid that you don’t like her if she didn’t dress up well. That’s why she was choosing clothes and putting makeup in her room."

"Hey mom, what are you saying?"

Sophia feels shy and leans against his shoulder.

Only then did a bland voice come from above, "I like women without makeup."

Sophia’s face turn red before she could even cover it.

She turns to look at Stella sitting on the sofa not far away...

Sophia found that she was not wearing any makeup.

She doesn’t know what he said or if he mean it or not...

But didn’t all men like to say that they like plain-face women? But still, they like one who had heavy makeup all day long...

If not, then why did he choose her and divorce Stella?
