Chapter 170 The Best Kind of Misunderstanding Abel scratched his head. "Ms. Stella's really hungry." Hunger makes it impossible to sleep. He knew the feeling well-it sucked.
Stella shot Abel a grateful look. It wasn't often he spoke up for her.
Abraham didn't miss that look, of course.
He pulled her into his lap. "Then let's make something clear-you're not allowed to go on any crazy diets." He still remembered that tMarie had gone on one. The doctor said she'd becseriously deficient in a bunch of essential nutrients. It had left Abraham with a lasting sense of dread.
The thought of Stella ever doing the sthing made his stomach turn.
"I won 1 "Ms. Stella's not the type to gain weight easily anyway," Abel said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat much was true, Stella always had a soft, baby-faced look to her, but she'd never gained or lost much weight. She was just. Stella.
Abraham pinched her cheek. "I'll have the kitchen make you something" "Okay." Relieved, Stella skipped off to the kitchen to order a steak. She was honestly starving.
She noticed the kitchen staff had changed, but didn't think much of it.
When she cback out, she overheard Abraham and Abel talking about Judson again.
Abraham gave a cold laugh. “Judson's really something." He wanted to send Lillian to him? What the hell was that supposed to be? Abel said, "Even I was surprised." When they called back and said Ethan wouldn't be allowed to see Lillian anymore, Abel realized they'd totally misread the situation.
Abraham sipped from his glass, eyes narrowing.
Abel asked, "What should we do on our end?" Abraham replied calmly. "They don't need to send her." Abel nodded "Understood." Of course not.
There was no world in which aliam would entertain someone like Lillian-sick or not, she wasn't even close to his type.
"But keeping Ethan from seeing her? That part, I like." Abel beutated. "But if we go with that, the Keene family's definitely going to think there's something between you and Lillian Chapter 170 The Best Kind of Misunderstanding Ethan was obsessed with Lillian right now. If they cut him off entirely, it would drive him mad Abel said. "Got ut. I'll follow up Finished Abraham set down his glass.
Abel left, and Abrahamu looked toward the kitchen.
"You gonna just stand there?" he asked.
Stella stepped out slowly.
Seriously You're playing match-breaker now?" Telling Ethan he couldn't see Lillian anymore-might as well have sentenced him to death. Abraham pulled her onto his lap. "That's not breaking them up. That's doing him a favor." Stella stared at him. “Are you listening to yourself? That's not what good people do The Keene family treats Lillian like she's contagious. I'm just helping them along" Well, when you put it like that...
It really was doing them a favor-just not for Ethan.
The rest of the Keene family would probably thank him. Ethan, though, would be suffering Stella thought about it again. "Okay, fine. You're doing a good deed," Except the Reed family and Ethan were about to have a real bad time.
People called at a marriage alliance, but in reality, the Reed family had always depended on the Keehes.
That dependency was growing shakier by the day. With everything riding on Lillian, and tensions already high. Ethan was their last remaining If the Keenes now barred him from seeing her the Reed family would go into full panic mode.
Abraham took her hand in his. "Stella, all these years you've been here, Was there nothing that made you happy! "There was She thought for a second, then answered seriously.
Abraham frowned. "Who gave it to you! He remembered the reports Abel had dug up. Just reading them made his chest feel tight.
Stella smiled. "I have a really profitable studio" "Hm Oh and don't calltomorrow I'll be at the stuall day" "Why" Tve got to work overtOne of our biggest clients has a new project. I want to get it right." Chapter 170 The Best Kind of Misunderstanding
