Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 271:

“Daddy, I want a mommy like Aunt Stella. Aunt Sophia is so annoying. I don’t like her. Daddy, will you not marry her? She scolds me when you’re not at home,” Alia complained.

One had to admit, Alia was quite talented in expressing her opinions. Not only did she praise one person, but she also insulted another. She really had a way with words.

Stella felt speechless. It seemed Alia had brainwashed Adrian in just a few days, and it was serious. Adrian had immediately started showing favor to RK’s side. There were clear signs of rebellion.

“Alia, stop talking nonsense,” RK quickly interrupted, stopping her before she said more.

In truth, RK secretly felt that Alia’s suggestion wasn’t bad. It was a situation he couldn’t ignore.

After dinner, RK instructed the driver to take Alia home, which gave him the opportunity to chat briefly with Stella and Adrian. It wasn’t until around eight o’clock in the evening that RK left with Stella to take her home.

As expected, RK drove Stella home. On the way, she leaned against the window, her face relaxed as she drifted into a deep sleep.

RK remembered the day she had fainted and ended up in the hospital, pale and frail. But lately, she seemed better.

Adrian’s recovery had helped her a lot, but the court summons looming over her was likely still weighing on her mind. Truthfully, RK had only meant to intimidate her initially, but now the lawsuit had become inevitable. He couldn’t back down from his decision, nor could he ask for forgiveness.

When had RK ever backed down from anything?
