Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks by Caspian Wood

Chapter 495

There was still a short distance to walk before they reached the place where their car was parked,

Lydia linked arms with Stella. "Aunt Stella, the woman at Taylor Vogue today, the one who looked so stunning, turns out she's Mr. Chivers' wife? I think she has such a fiery temper, but she's very carefree and kind of contradictory. Don't you think?"

Stella nodded. "She's definitely eye-catching. It's been a long time since I've seen someone like her. I actually envy her personality. She lives her life exactly how she wants, saying whatever she feels, doing whatever she wants, not caring what anyone thinks." As Stella spoke, she pressed her lips together.

Lydia glanced at Stella and, gathering some courage, asked, "Aunt Stella, do you have something on your mind? Or is there someone you like?"

At the mention of this, a slight blush appeared on Stella's face. She looked a little shy and then glanced at Lydia. "What do you know? Why are you asking these kinds of things?"

Lydia didn't answer her, but instead, she watched as Stella gazed longingly toward the east, her expression filled with a sense of wistful loneliness, as though there was something she wanted but could never have.

Lydia wondered whether there was someone in Stella's heart, someone she had kept there for all these years.

Except for Morris, no one else had ever seen the cute side of Cherise that she showed in private.

Morris looked at her pouting and smiled indulgently. This was the normal behavior of a couple.
