Chapter 364

Maybe it was because she hadn't seen Marvin in days, but Stella suddenly found herself missing the boy terribly.

She glanced at the clock, hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to pick Marvin up from school herself.

Ever since she'd run into Keen and Rachel Pearce a few times at the preschool gates, Stella had mostly left the pick-up and drop-off duties to the driver. Marvin had never once complained or seemed upset about it-in fact, his quiet understanding only made Stella's heart ache more.

Without even noticing when it happened, she'd started caring for Marvin as if he were her own child. True, it wasn't quite the overwhelming love she'd once felt for Keen, but she was done with the kind of self-congratulatory love that made everything about her feelings.

With a bag of homemade cookies in hand, Stella was just about to leave the house when her phone rang.
