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

Chapter 501

When Mary spoke up, not only did it make Stella more curious about Cherise, but even Jagger, who was sitting beside her, seemed intrigued.

Stella and Jagger hadn't been sitting for long. They mentioned wanting to have a drink, but Lucas didn't come up with it again.

The reason for their visit was that Stella hadn't been back home in a long time and she wanted to catch up with them. Since they had already seen each other and were in good health, it was time to leave so as not to disturb Lucas and Mary's

rest.

Before they left, they exchanged contact information, promising to stay in touch whenever possible.

Once they were gone, Mary turned to Lucas. "Stella has everything going for her. Why would she choose to stay single forever?

"Back when we were neighbors, so many wealthy young men came to propose, but her mother turned them all down. I just don't get it."

Lucas looked back at her. "Didn't you just say that women who are financially independent and capable can live alone happily? What's with the sudden change of heart?"

My thinking is sometimes traditional, sometimes progressive. She's amazing.

"I just feel sorry for her. Look at Cherise. She's got both love and a successful career. Anyone would envy her."

Lucas gave her a dismissive glance. "You're always like this. But you know, when Mr. Walton brought his daughter along today, I got the feeling that there's more to it than just the small talk."

"He's not the type of person who goes out much, but for the sake of his children, he can make an exception." As Lucas spoke, a hint of suspicion crept into his voice.
