Chapter 12

Upstairs.

Ursula was standing at the top of the stairs, her ankle swollen visibly. The fleeting glimpse of disappointment in her eyes was unmistakable as she overheard Blaise's care for Stella. Blood was thicker than water after all...

An hour later, Blaise showed up at Silk-River Residences.

He took a seat on the sofa, his gaze landing on Stella. He didn't berate her for not answering her phone earlier.

Stella, expressionless, poured him a glass of water.

Blaise invited, "Stop fussing around, come sit."

Interacting with this daughter of his was somewhat a puzzle. She hadn't grown up by his side, and he didn't really know her.

Stella directly took a seat across from him.

Blaise, sitting upright with his hands clasped over his knees, broached the topic, "Had a spat with Ursula again?"

Stella asked, "Are you here to scold me too?"

Scolding seemed to be a norm ever since she became part of the Larkin family.

Hearing her icy tone, Blaise sighed, "Because of her, you're calling off the wedding with Yorick?"

Stella remained silent, merely taking a sip from her glass.
