Chapter 203 Keep Her Safe
“How much do you like me?”
Abraham paused.
He realized that Stella was especially affectionate after drinking, and right now she was more irresistible than ever.
He leaned down, warm breath brushing her neck and flushed cheek.
His deep voice, with a slight rasp, whispered, “How much do you like me?”
“A whole, whole lot, she replied softly, her voice still dazed from the wine..
Even in her drunken haze, that simple, sincere answer completely melted the hardness in his heart.
Just then, his phone rang.
He stood up gently. Stella had already closed her eyes, like a sleepy kitten unable to stay awake.
He answered, “Speak.”
“Mr. Abraham, as you expected, Lancelot is hiding in Rivermount.”
“Found him?” Abraham asked.
“No, but the man beside him, Elliot, showed up today.”
In the dim light, Abraham’s normally cool eyes glowed with danger
He said coldly. “Keep a close eye on him.”
“Yes, Mr. Abraham.”
“And…” Abraham paused, glancing at the sleeping Stella on the bed. “Assign more men to quietly follow her.”
By “her,” he meant Stella, of course.
Abel hesitated. “Should I tell Ms. Dawson not to go to the studio for now?”
“No need, Abraham replied.
“Understood.”
He clearly understood what Abraham meant; he didn’t want Stella to feel even a hint of danger
Abraham wanted her world to remain peaceful and simple. He didn’t want her to live in fear.
That year, after she accidentally witnessed Abraham kill someone, she almost shut down completely
Since then, he never let her interfere with family matters.
Until Kelly and Derrick stirred up trouble.
After hanging up. Abraham stepped out on the balcony and lit a cigarette.
Another call came in.

“Yes,” he answered.
“You know how he’s feeling about Star. You must protect her. The child is fragile.”
Finisher
Fragile?
He turned to look through the glass door at the sleeping Stella.
His lips curled into a warm smile. This little girl! Fragile!
Still, he replied, “Got it.”
“I hear Derrick is heading for Rivermount. Are your men enough?”
“They are”
“Should we have Marie go with them?”
Three years ago, when some people took advantage of the chaos, Stella was forced to leave the Dawson family.
Even now, Evelyn hadn’t forgotten.
“No need, Abraham replied.
Compared to Derrick, Marie is even harder to deal with. She is a master at hiding people.
If she really does sneak Stella away again, there is no telling what kind of misery she has put her through.
Back when she took Stella for training, no one could find her. Stella came back as if she had shed a layer of skin.
“True. That girl is a handful.”
Just thinking about her daughter gave Evelyn a headache.
She is as wild as a boy and even managed to get so dark a tan. Not sweet at all.
Not like Star, so obedient and pretty in her little skirts.
When I got Marie, I was thrilled, I wanted to dress her up like a doll.
But Marie wouldn’t wear dresses. Only pants. She hated every piece of clothing I bought
“You protect Star well. When you’re done, bring her back. There’s nothing good in that Rivermount place. I looked into her birth parents; they’re no good.”
Knowing where Stella was, Evelyn had done a thorough background check
All the secrets of the Reed family had been dug up.
And the trouble the Reeds were in now? It wasn’t just Abraham’s doing. Evelyn had als
“Understood”
They exchanged a few more words before ending the call.
played a role.
Back inside, Abraham saw that Stella had kicked off the blanket again, her cheeks bright red.
