Since Stella was kidnapped when she was thirteen, Abraham had been constantly worried about her. Marie couldn’t bear to watch anymore, so she took Stella and trained her for three months. Yes, three months….
During those three months, Abraham, afraid that Stella might suffer, frantically searched for her. Meanwhile, she was hidden away by Marie and made to train relentlessly. After that, there was no real danger, but her physical strength definitely improved.
She let him lean on her as she fed him the hangover soup.
“Star.” He murmured softly, his voice so gentle despite his drunkenness.
Stella said, “Mm, I’m here.
“Don’t run away, or I’ll break your legs.”
She was speechless. Even drunk, he didn’t forget to threaten her.
After some effort, she managed to feed the hangover soup to Abraham. But when it came to getting him back to his room, Stella no longer had the strength.
It was already 2 a.m., and most of the servants in the villa had gone to bed.
With no other choice, Stella let him sleep on the sofa in her room. She covered him with a thick blanket before heading to her own bed to sleep. It had been a long day, and Stella was exhausted. As soon as she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep.
Sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, shining on Abraham’s face. He looked at the blanket covering him, a bit dazed. When he finally realized where he was, memories of the previous night flooded his mind.
His chest tightened as he instinctively glanced at Stella, still fast asleep in bed. She must have been really tired yesterday, so. she hadn’t woken up yet.
His phone buzzed, and when he checked, it was a call from Abel.
He answered, “Hello.”
“Sir. Mr. Keene has been trying to arrange a meeting with you.”
Ignore him.”
Meet him? Heh! Abraham gazed fondly at the small form of Stella curled up on the bed. “He still wants to buy Verdant Villa?”
Abel said, “Yes.”
Abraham chuckled. “He’s really obsessed with his first love. Just tell him we’re not considering working with him.”
Instead of dragging it out, it’s better to make him lose hope right away. Abraham was very aware of the current state of the Keene family. If they couldn’t find a replacement, their business could be cut down drastically! The impact on the Keene family didn’t need much elaboration.
While they were busy mocking the Reed family, the Keene family wasn’t doing any better. They were all in the same boat. after all. Who could escape? If Abraham sent the message that they wouldn’t cooperate, the Keene family would be thrown into complete chaos.
The Reed family was already in disarray. So, it was only natural that the Keene family couldn’t stay calm either.
Lafe was more fun when things were lively
When Stella woke up, Abraham was no longer in the room. As she brushed her teeth in the bathroom, she suddenly realized

Once she had everything ready, Stella went downstairs and saw Abraham in the dining room. When he saw her coming down wearing a mask, he frowned. “Why are you wearing that thing at home?”
Stella chuckled awkwardly. “I’m not hungry, I’ll go check on the studio first.”
“Stop. Just as she turned to leave, she heard his low voice calling out to her.
She wanted to cry but turned around and softly called, “Abraham.”
“Come here and eat.
Not hungry? Who isn’t hungry? No one is immune to hunger, Stella didn’t want to go. To eat, she would have to take off the mask, and then Abraham would see her lips!
Since she was a child, if she even got a mosquito bite, he would ask the servants what happened. Now, what would she say when he asked about her swollen lips? Seeing that she didn’t move, Abraham raised an eyebrow. “What? Should I come over and carry you?”
FI.. I’m just not hungry” Before she could finish speaking, he had already stood up from the chair and walked toward her with long strides.
Stella hadn’t even processed her thoughts when he was already standing right in front of her. He swept her off her feet and carried her toward the dining room.
“Ah!
Stella let out a small “Ah!” and blushed beneath her mask.
