Well, they were both her own flesh and blood, one born to her, one raised by her. Of course, she ended up being biased toward both
After an eight–hour flight, they finally arrived on Kealis Island.
Having been stuck on the plane for so long, Stella’s ears were still buzzing. She desperately needed to get off and breathe some fresh air, but unfortunately, she was nestled in Abraham’s arms and did not have an ounce of strength left.
She grumbled, her lips muttering. “You’re bad. You’re really, really bad.”
She truly did not get it. How could someone who supposedly never had even a single female friend around him know so many tricks?
Abraham was helping her change clothes. “Mm, my bad.”
“I’m exhausted…” Stella was limp as a noodle, letting him fuss with her however he wanted.
He picked out a white T–shirt for her and paired it with a pink A–line skirt.
Stella eyed the pink puffy skirt and muttered, “I’m a grown woman, you know.”
Especially the white T–shirt. It even had a Peter Pan collar. And that woven fisherman hat off to the side… Put it all together, and she looked like a complete child.
Abraham slipped the skirt onto her. ‘Abel had someone prep these based on your style back in Falvaria.
To be fair, this little thing’s taste in clothes had changed quite a bit over the years.
She had worn some fairly mature outfits during their recent visit to Rivermount. Probably forced. into growing up too quickly by the Reed family.
The thought of the Reed family darkened Abraham’s eyes as he scooped her up.
Stella responded with an “Oh.”
Style based on what I wore in Falvaria? All the clothes I had in Falvaria were ones you had picked out for
Jure.
In his heart, she had never grown up. So naturally, everything he had prepared was fit for a little princess.
“Is the UV outside really strong? I need sunscreen,” Stella said.
Abraham renliad “Mms. I’ll de

Without waiting, he carried her into the bathroom, washed her face, applied a custom cream, and sprayed on sunscreen. “All set now?
Stella stretched out a pale little arm. “Here too.
Abraham chuckled. “So vain.”
Once they were done, the two stepped out of the lounge together. Eddie was already waiting outside. He took one look at Stella’s outfit, then looked at Abraham. He wore black slacks and a white shirt.
Eddie mocked, “What is this? You don’t look like you’re traveling with your wife. You look like you brought your daughter.
Stella’s face turned cold.
Abel turned his face away, feeling that all the warnings he and Victor had given Eddie were totally wasted.
Eddie’s mouth moved faster than his brain. Realizing what he had just said, he immediately ducked behind Abel for cover.
Abraham took Stella’s hand and led her off the plane. Their pickup crew had already arrived.
Abel stepped forward and respectfully opened the car door for Abraham Stella got in first. followed by Abraham.
Eddie took the front seat.
As the car started, he looked back and asked. ‘Are we heading to the hotel first?”
Abraham looked down. ‘Straight there.
Eddie blinked. “Huh?”
He instinctively glanced at the girl sitting beside Abraham. He was seriously taking the little princess with him? In the past, Abraham would never let Stella be anywhere near those kinds of
scenes. So now…?
Eddie asked, “Are you sure she won’t end up traumatized into muteness?”
Stella was clueless. Where exactly were they going?
She turned to Abraham. “Where are we headed?”
Looking into her starry eyes, Abraham recalled the time she fell seriously ill from fright.
He hesitated.
Before he could answer, Abel’s phone rang. He answered via Bluetooth. “Hello?”

Then turned to the back seat. “Sir. Derrick is on Kealis Island too
Stella’s brow twitched. “That black–hearted bastard?”
Eddie nearly choked on his own saliva at her nickname for Derrick.
With Derrick also here, there was no way Abraham would let Stella go to the hotel alone.
Ignoring Eddie, Abraham gently ruffled her silky hair. “Are you scared, Stella?”
This question…

It instantly brought her back to the first time she witnessed Abraham’s violent side. It had rained heavily that day in Falvaria.
She had seen him shoot someone in the head. His once–gentle eyes filled with bloodlust.
