Chapter 527 She Got Taken

This time, Stella had brought back a gift for everyone from Rivermount, and each one had been carefully chosen.

She wasn’t too worried about the others—just the old man. She was afraid he wouldn’t like it.

Abraham pinched her cheek with a doting smile. “Don’t worry. He’ll like it.”

“Really?”

Abraham nodded. “Didn’t he used to like everything you gave him?”

Stella: “…” That was true.

Back when she lived in Falvaria, she’d give him something every year for his birthday.

And he really had seemed to like everything.

“Then… do you think he’s going to lecture me?” Stella added.

After all, she’d been gone for a long time this time around.

At that, Abraham let out a short laugh. “So now you’re worried? If you were that worried, why’d you stay away so long?”

Stella pouted and didn’t respond.

Like he didn’t already know the answer?

But this time, Abraham didn’t side with her. “If he scolds you, just take it.”

Stella: “…ugh…”

Let’s hope he doesn’t go too hard on me.

Before marrying Abraham’s father, Lorette had actually been an only child.

Her parents had spoiled her endlessly. Whatever she liked, they liked too.

Stella, though not her biological daughter, was treated like a true granddaughter because of how much Lorette and Abraham loved her.

And Marie adored Stella, too.

Back when she was little, she and Stella had even lived at the Luke family castle for a while.
