Chapter 655:

Stella quickly reached out and touched his arm in a comforting gesture, trying to reassure him. “Please, don’t be upset. My words weren’t meant to be harsh. Eileen was also a victim back then. I’ve witnessed the deep bond you two share, and I won’t stand in the way of her joining the family just because Gabriela isn’t your biological child. However, I can’t bear the thought of Gabriela inheriting the Dawson family’s assets if she isn’t truly your daughter.”

“You’re being incredibly harsh and insensitive,” Bryan responded, pulling his hand away. “Don’t you understand Eileen? If anything had really happened between her and Benjamin that night, do you honestly believe she’d still be alive? Do you think she’d still be with me?”

If something had happened, Eileen might have struggled to continue living for Ruby’s sake, but she would never have stayed with Bryan afterward. She would never have let Bryan raise a child that wasn’t his own.

“I think I understand Eileen very well,” Stella said, lowering her head. “However, considering all the harm I’ve caused her, she’s been disappointed in me. She changed, disappeared for a time, and came back with a child. How can I trust her now?”

Bryan glanced over at Eileen in the kitchen, his voice cold. “You don’t see her as part of the family, and you fail to understand things from her perspective. You can let Jarred take you to the wedding, but Eileen and I are leaving now.”
