Chapter 1472

As Wilfred, Edith, and Daryl’s family prepared to depart, Stella took a leave from the set to accompany them to the airport. Amidst the farewells, Edith gently held Stella’s hand and whispered, “Your grandpa and I are getting older, Stella. We aren’t as robust as we used to be. Otherwise, we’d love to stay a bit longer. I can’t believe we’ve only just reunited, and now we have to part again…”

Tears welled up in Edith’s eyes, and Stella’s heart twinged. She comforted her and said, “Grandma, Uncle Daryl has gifted US a private jet. Once all the formalities are sorted out, I can fly over whenever you want to see me.”

Edith’s spirits lifted. “You don’t need to come too often. Once or twice a month will do. You work too hard. Remember to take good care of yourself. ■

“Okay, Grandma.”

“Why didn’t Keegan come?” Edith suddenly asked.

Wilfred snorted. “He’s probably feeling guilty!”

Stella was taken aback. “He wanted to come, but I didn’t let him. I was afraid you might feel uncomfortable with him here,” she said.

“Oh, the Kanes are good people. And Keegan’s personality isn’t bad either. Why don’t you and him set a date for the wedding? We’ll arrange a formal meeting between the two families.” Edith spoke kindly.

Stella was momentarily surprised. She smiled and said, “Alright.”

Trevor checked the time. “It’s almost boarding time. Let’s head in.”

Stella bid farewell to the family.

“Bye, Aunt Stella!” Her little nephew waved enthusiastically. He took three steps forward and turned to wave again before leaving with his family.

After Stella and Trevor got in the car and fastened their seatbelts, the latter said, “Dad asked me to bring you home for a meal.”

Wenham knew that Stella had spent time with Edith and Wilfred these past few days. He did not want to disturb their precious family time. Now that the elderly couple had left, he was eager to bring his daughter home.

Stella nodded.

Everything worked out perfectly. It had been a week since she acquired the operating rights to The Velvet, and Caline’s equity transfer had gone smoothly. However, there had been no news from Darcie. She needed to visit and remind her to avoid any further delays.

Thinking about it, Stella took the bracelet out of her bag and wore it on her wrist. Trevor caught sight of her action and teased, “You didn’t sell it, huh?”

Stella did not answer.

“Trevor, did you and Keegan often get into fights as kids because you couldn’t settle your arguments?”

“Not really. I didn’t bother arguing with him. I usually just went straight to punching.”

His response rendered her speechless.

Stella understood what he meant. “I see.” Although Trevor did not show much emotion on the surface, she could not shake the feeling that he might not be very fond of their stepmother.

“Keegan mentioned that Darcie and Mom were friends. Wasn’t she also one of the founders of Caline? Why did she marry Dad? Was it true love?”

Trevor explained, “Grandma really liked her. In the years after Mom passed away, Darcie worked tirelessly at home. She cared for both me and Dad while frequently looking after Grandma. Over time, Grandma developed a deep bond with her.”
