Chapter 259:

RK stared at the tightly shut door, feeling as though he was trying to save the world. Telling Sophia the truth had been the best way to free her from false hopes. He hoped that she would take time to reflect on everything.

However, whether it was Sophia’s mention of her dream about him and Stella getting married again, or his own thoughts, that night RK found himself dreaming of that very scenario. In his dream, he and Stella were married, Alia adored her new mother, and Adrian fit in perfectly with the Kingston family.

The four of them went on a family trip, hand in hand, with Alia and Adrian between them. They stood out wherever they went, turning heads with their happiness. Stella was no longer thin but had gained a healthy amount of weight.

Her face was fuller, and she was constantly smiling, showing none of the sorrow and desperation that had once haunted her. RK felt a strange comfort when he pinched her soft, chubby cheeks. There were no arguments, no tension—just pure joy.

In the dream, RK felt truly happy. Every day after work, all he thought about was picking up Alia and Adrian with Stella, helping them with their homework, cooking meals together, and watching TV as a family. At night, he’d wake up to check on the children, gently pulling the blankets back over them when they kicked them off.

Years passed in the dream. Adrian and Alia grew up and went abroad to study. Alia blossomed into a beautiful woman, and Adrian was as handsome as his father. RK and Stella traveled the world together, helping those in need wherever they could. Eventually, they grew old and passed away peacefully, side by side.

When RK woke up, he found a tear rolling down his face. The dream had felt so real, and he could vividly recall every detail: Adrian’s mischief, Alia’s affectionate nature, Stella’s laughter, and even the softness of her skin beneath his fingers. It all felt too genuine to have been a dream.
