Chapter 272:

Not long after a regular day had passed, Stella received a court notification, along with a letter of authorization and a list of evidence.

Did this mean that the lawsuit was about to begin? Was it possible that the right to Adrian’s custody might not belong to her? She dared not imagine such a scenario.

Tristan visited her, informing her that he had assisted in hiring a lawyer for her. He assured her that she had an advantage in many aspects.

There was a law stating that a drastic shift in a child’s living environment, after being with one parent for some time, was not beneficial to the child’s development. Additionally, the parent without other children often held an upper hand compared to the parent who already had other children. Stella knew this worked in her favor.

She had no other children and had been raising Adrian by herself. RK, on the other hand, had never lived under the same roof as Adrian and already had Alia, his beloved daughter. Logically, the court would not award custody to RK.

Although the odds seemed in her favor, Stella still felt uneasy. She loved Adrian dearly, with every fiber of her being. The idea of losing him was unbearable. She couldn’t survive without him. She had spent years raising him, so why should he be taken from her just because of a court summons?

Why had she returned to X City? Why had she encountered RK again? Why did he have to find out about Adrian’s existence?

She should have stayed in France, quietly raising Adrian, without ever returning. She could have lived out the rest of her life there, growing old, until the secret was buried with her.
