Chapter 297:

Stella’s feelings for RK—the hatred, the love, the attachment, and the reluctance to let go—were all things she wanted to release.

She felt like she had finally moved past him. For six long years, she had been searching for reasons for everything that had happened between them, clinging to her obsession with him. In the past, she couldn’t let go, but now, she realized she could even let go of the need for answers, the explanations for why he abandoned her six years ago.

Staring out the window at the sunlight filtering through the green leaves, she felt a sense of relief wash over her. It felt good to be free of that obsession.

Meanwhile, RK’s routine remained unchanged. He still rarely went home. When he did return, Cassidy had already finished preparing dinner. Alia and Adrian were sitting at the table, cutlery in hand, waiting to eat.

“Daddy, you’re back! Is Aunt Stella okay?” Alia’s face lit up when she saw her father, who hadn’t been home in days. She quickly ran into his arms.

“Mm-hmm, she’s alright now. She’s much better. She’s eating more than before,” RK said, scooping up Alia in his arms. He looked over at Adrian, who sat at the table with a straight face, pretending to be indifferent, though his ears were clearly listening intently.

“Then can you come home more often to eat with us in the future?” Alia asked sincerely. “You haven’t eaten with us for a few days. Adrian misses you too!” she added with an innocent smile.
