However, Stella figured that Darcie might consider giving in if she made that promise.

Sure enough, Darcie’s expression softened upon hearing what Stella said.

Then, she pursed her lips and said, “Stella, I don’t have anything against Sonia joining our company, but we are a well-established organization. Your father and I can’t just decide everything on our own without considering the feelings of our stakeholders. And, we have to coordinate with various departments. Back then, there was someone in our company who wanted his daughter to join us as an intern, but the company rejected them. Now that we’ve put it out there, we must face it ourselves. We’re simply going to embarrass ourselves if we can’t follow the rules we made.

“I feel really sad about what happened to Sonia’s father too. Your father is a sentimental person, and so are you. At this point, I’d seem like a heartless person if I were to refuse any further. However, let me be clear. You can bring her in, but if anything goes wrong, you have to bear the full responsibility. I’m not going to allow any exceptions anymore.”

Darcie sounded very generous as if she had no personal motives at all.

Wenham frowned. He wanted to say something, but Trevor nudged him with a light kick.

Stella smiled. “Darcie, you’re really cautious when it comes to the company. But, I understand it because you’re just trying to protect my mother’s hard work.”

Darcie was taken aback, and she said after a brief pause,” That’s good.”

After Jaylene was scolded, she ran upstairs and refused to come down when the food was ready. Darcie had to go up and bring herdown personally.

Darcie’s expression was not pleasant, and Jaylene’s eyes were red. It seemed she was scolded by Darcie upstairs.

With her parents and brother always siding with her, she had always been doted on. That was probably the first time she got scolded like that.

Stella thought about it and felt as though she had a really strong heart. Back in the Jewell family, no matter how many times Albert made things difficult for her because of Sophia, she never shed a tear in front of others.

Yet, today, Jaylene felt so sad with just a couple of harsh words from Wenham.

Stella might have felt a bit guilty for intruding into this family and taking away the affection Jaylene had found solace in.

However, as soon as she remembered that Darcie might be the reason why she was separated from her birth family, her guilt immediately went away.

Jaylene did not eat much, but Stella had a very good appetite.

Trevor was very thoughtful and specifically instructed the maid to prepare dishes that were suitable for her during pregnancy.

Stella used to experience severe pregnancy reactions such as vomiting whatever she ate, but they went away after New Year’s. However, her preferences had changed slightly, and she started eating more things that she did not like.

Of course, she would not admit that she wanted to eat them herself and shifted the blame to the little one inside of her.

After finishing the meal, Stella went outside, planning to take a walk in the yard for better digestion.

Wenham called Keegan and Trevor to the study room because the two companies were working on a project together, and there were work-related matters to discuss.

Stella strolled through the yard, eventually settling down on a garden bench and casually plucking the weeds around her.

She heard footsteps approaching from behind and then said in a flat tone, “Jaylene, you should be inside taking care of your beloved Keegan. Why are you here?”
