Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 23

Chapter 23:.

Stella snapped back to reality at the sound of Adrian’s voice.

Seeing RK had made such an impact on her that she momentarily forgot the main issue.

Rene Kingston… And Adrian was still in the room. She had kept her son hidden for six years, and now he was standing right in front of this man.

Stella felt her heart rise in her throat.

Adrian, realizing that no one had answered him, continued in his innocent voice. He turned to look at Stella and asked, “Honey, who is that guy?”.

“Hey, Adrian…don’t call him uncle,” Stella quickly corrected.

Hearing Adrian call him uncle, Grace made a disgusted face. In her mind, RK was likely to be Adrian’s stepfather in the future, and it was not good for him to call RK uncle so lightly.

He looked at Adrian and started to say, “Adrian, it’s your big…”.

“Adrian, he’s just a friend of my grandmother’s,” Stella quickly interrupted, cutting Grace off before she could finish.

Grace looked at Stella quizzically, wondering why her granddaughter was so quick to intervene.

But then she reconsidered, thinking it wasn’t a bad idea to introduce Rene that way. In the end, she merely added, “Adrian, you can call him Uncle René. Don’t just call him Uncle.”

“Ohhh,” Adrian replied, not understanding how complex the situation was. He continued to sit on the small stool next to the hospital bed, swinging his legs and nibbling on his apple.

Then, looking at RK, he said politely, “Hello, nice to meet you, Uncle Rene.”

Her big blue eyes met RK’s. Her small face, smeared with a little milk, stared unblinkingly at RK.

RK heard his voice and raised his eyes to look at Adrian. His gaze remained fixed on the boy, deep and calm.

For a minute, the two pairs of blue eyes stared at each other.

But for Stella, that minute seemed like an eternity….

Did you notice something? Adrian looks so much like him… But no, surely you hadn’t noticed, had you?

Stella’s mind churned with countless thoughts and she prayed, “Don’t. Don’t…. Don’t let him know. Please, God…”

After a while, RK merely nodded and let out a small “Hmm.” There was a half-smile and half-silence in his eyes. But Stella knew… this smile was no comfort.
