The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 533 No Use Crying Over Spoiled Men

Finished

She swore–if her pores ever got clogged, she was absolutely billing those two for emotional damages.

After all these

years…

They’d been side by side forever, yet the second they started dating, they couldn’t go a minute without acting like newlyweds.

Abraham coaxed Stella for a few more minutes before finally hanging up.

Marie rolled her eyes at him. “Didn’t expect you to be this good at dating. We used to worry you’d scare Stella off.”

To be fair, Abraham’s feelings for Stella had never been a secret–everyone in both the Dawson and Luke families had known for a long time.

That was why the elders from both families had always treated Stella so well.

Family was family. And if she was going to be family, of course they’d treat her like one of their own.

It was just that Abraham had always carried himself so seriously. Sure, he was good to Stella— but too serious.

So serious that it felt more like an elder scolding a child. Great for a dad, maybe, but definitely stressful for a boyfriend.

But looking at him now? All that worry had been for nothing.

The way he’d spoiled Stella over the phone just now–it was more than fine.

Come to think of it, he’d always been gentle with her. Even when he looked stern, the moment Stella pouted, there was always a smile behind his eyes.

Abraham shot Marie a sharp look.

That wiped the teasing grin right off her face. “Why are you giving me that look?”

Fine. So serious could mean different things.

Like now–when he looked at her seriously, it was totally different from how he looked at Stella.

Total favoritism.
