Abraham said, “The doctor had said. You couldn’t afford to catch a cold now.”
Stella replied, “Got it.”
When she got out of the car, a cold breeze swept in. Stella instinctively hid in Abraham’s arms. The winter at Rivermount was sure cold.
Watching her instinctive move, a flicker of tenderness flashed in his eyes as he embraced her, guarded her, and walked inside.
As they walked, Stella said, “Abraham, I want to have some peach cobbler.
Abraham asked, “What’s that?” as he had never eaten it before.
Stella replied, “It’s a snack at Rivermount that is made of batter, biscuit, and fruit filling.
Abraham asked, “Is it sweet?”
Stella nodded and replied, “Yeah.”
Abraham continued to ask, “The one you’ve had in the afternoon?”
He remembered that she wasn’t particular about food, except that she always insisted on having broth.
Abraham thought, From spicy food to sweet food? That’s a huge shift in taste.
Stella said, “Yeah, I feel like eating suddenly.”
Abraham said, “Alright, I’ll have someone prepare it.”
Stella smiled.
They entered inside, and when they passed the kitchen area, a fragrant aroma filled the air. Stella covered her lips instinctively; her stomach was feeling unwell.
Seeing her holding her stomach, Abraham asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Stella asked, “What’s being prepared in the kitchen today? Why is the smell so intense?”
Abraham glanced at Clint. Clint, who was standing beside, hurried forward and said to Stella in a respectful tone, “Today, the kitchen has prepared your favorite food, tuna tartare.”
Stella replied, “Is that so? The smell seems to differ from back then. It smells fishy and unpleasant.”
Clint froze for a moment, then said, “It should be the same. It’s still fresh when it arrives here.”

Abraham frowned and said, “Cancel the fish for lunch.
Clint was shocked.
As expected, when Ms. Dawson showed a bit of displeasure, Mr. Abraham would have it disappear right away.
After Abraham picked up a call, he went straight to the study.
Clint looked at Stella with deep respect and asked, “Ms. Dawson, is the fish for lunch really not
needed?”
She used to love eating fish.
Since she moved here, fish has been a must on the dining table.
Stella waved her hand and said. “No need; I can’t stand this smell.
She felt that there was something off with the fish today.
But since Clint had already said the fish was still fresh when it came here, she wouldn’t bother to say anything else.
Clint nodded and said. “Understood.”
When Stella walked to the sofa and was about to sit down, she received a call from Rianne.
On the phone. Rianne said, “I just heard from Tempest that Madam Susan has been desperately trying to borrow money from the wealthy women for the past two days.”
Stella asked, “Borrow money?”
It seemed that Susan was pushed to the edge, swallowing her pride to borrow money from the wealthy women.
She had been concerned about her image.
Back then, when the Reed family was still wealthy, she wished to give all the best things to Lillian.
Now that Lillian needed extra medical expenses. Even if the Reed family was ripped apart, couldn’t bother that much.

She even put her pride aside, approaching and borrowing money from those wealthy women, to whom she had never been willing to show her weakness.
It was just that not only was she unable to borrow the money, but she had also lost her pride and

that there wasn’t any money left for her to swindle.
Stella said, “Most likely.”

After all, no one would have understood better what had happened to the Reed family these days
than Stella.
Rianne said, “That’s truly tragic.”
Stella didn’t say a word.
No joke, a single word from Abraham wasn’t something just anyone could handle.
The people he was dealing with in Falvaria were those walking on a razor’s edge.
What the Reed family was facing now was just a drizzle. Could
But it was this drizzle that was sufficient to tear the Reed family apart.
Rianne sighed and continued, “I still have one more thing to tell you.”
Stella replied, “What is it?”
Rianne then said, “I overheard this. I’m not sure if it’s true or not, but Lillian and the chief financial officer from the Reed Group seemed close to each other.”
Stella was confused and asked, “The one who gave birth to Patrick’s child?”
Rianne said, “Yes.”
Stella then asked, “Are you sure?”
She thought, is Lillian close with that woman? What is this?
Rianne continued, “Not sure, but it’s most likely true. I heard that they used to eat and shop all
the time.
Stella’s lips curled into a smile, and she thought, This is getting interesting. That woman gives birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, for Patrick, and Lillian is close with her.
