Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 260:

At noon, Adrian was feeling bored since Alia was at kindergarten and couldn’t come to play with him. After lunch, he was sleepy, and as Stella tucked him in, he started chatting with her.

“Darling, have I ever heard the story of Little Red Riding Hood before?” Adrian asked, his tone curious.

Stella chuckled at his question. “Haven’t you heard it before? I told you that story. Why? Are you testing me now?”

“No, no,” Adrian quickly shook his head and waved his hands. “I just meant that when my leg gets better, I want to go visit Great Grandma.”

Hearing that, Stella realized it had been a long time since she visited her grandmother. Ever since Adrian was hospitalized, she hadn’t been able to see her, and she wondered how her grandmother was doing.

“Alright, sweetheart. Go to sleep now. I’ll go visit Grandma this afternoon on your behalf, okay?”

“Okay, okay,” Adrian agreed, looking satisfied before quickly drifting off to sleep. Stella tucked him in, made sure he was comfortable, and then checked the time, deciding it was a good opportunity to visit her grandmother.

In the afternoon, Stella hailed a taxi and went to the hospital where her grandmother was staying. On the way, she passed by a place that sold lemon rice and chicken wings—

Adrian’s favorite. She bought two portions: one for her grandmother and one for Adrian. Although her grandmother didn’t have the same appetite as Adrian, Stella thought it was a nice gesture, and it would make her happy.

Stella glanced around to see if RK’s car was parked nearby. Seeing that
