As Stella finished, there was no longer any sound in the entire kitchen.

Everything went silent.

Channing kept his head drooped and Stella couldn’t see what emotion he was in.

Stella pursed her lips, "Chan, I ..."

Channing paused for a moment before continuing to chop vegetables, then said in an indifferent tone, "You don't have to comfort me. I'm used to it."

Stella said, "I'm not trying to comfort you. I've had a paternity test and William is your ..."

"As far as I'm concerned, it's all over when Jeffrey died. It doesn't matter who my real father is."

At those words, Stella froze. She still wanted to say something, but Channing had already turned on the stove to fry.

It muffled all the other sounds.

Stella knew that he didn't want to discuss the subject any further.

Throughout all those torturing and painful moments, from childhood to Jeffrey's death, Channing spent every day and night wishing he wasn't Jeffrey's son.

That thought seemed to be his hope to live, but luck did not come to him, nor did it favor him.

Especially when it became clear that everything that had happened to Stella was because of Jeffrey, and his hatred towards Jeffrey was displaced by self-hatred.

If only someone had told him back then that Jeffrey was not his real father, it would have been relief and redemption for him.

But what's the use of it now?

Stella knew in her heart that even though she had no memories of her childhood, she could feel the affection of William being her father.

But Chan was different. He had never had a real sense of fatherly love since he was born.

William was also a complete stranger to him.

It was even because of Jeffrey that William almost hurt him back then...
