Chapter 754
By the time they returned to the castle, Michael had not come home yet.
At the entrance, the butler stood with the household staff lined up neatly behind him.
The moment Aaron and Stella stepped out of the car, the butler gave a signal.
“Welcome home, Sir. Welcome home, Miss Stella p>
Their voices rang out in perfect unison.
Stella was still not used to that kind of reception.
Instinctively, she glanced at Aaron.
He held his unfinished cigar in one hand and took Stella’s hand with the other.
“You’ll get used to it p>
In that moment, he truly felt like the head of the family.
Stella had returned to the castle once before.
The staff had greeted her the same way then too, and she had felt just as out of place.
“Father has a meeting at the palace tonight,” Aaron said. “We’ll eat first p>
Stella nodded. “Okay p>
The long dining table was covered with dishes from Harbor City.
Once Stella sat down, Aaron said, “I thought you might not be used to the food yet, so I had a chef from Harbor City brought in p>
“Thank you, Aaron p>
The feeling of being cared for warmed something inside her.
It eased some of the discomfort she had felt earlier.
Back in Harbor City, people had always said marrying into the Wright family was a blessing she could only have earned over several lifetimes.
But after entering the Hogarth family…
She finally understood that there were families the Wrights could never compare to.
“Try it,” Aaron said. “See whether it tastes right p>
The moment he finished speaking, a maid stepped forward and served food onto Stella’s small plate.
Stella picked up a piece and tasted it.
“It’s good. It tastes just like home p>
The unfamiliarity she had felt began to fade again.
It seemed the Hogarth family had truly made an effort to help her settle in.

The siblings ate while making occasional conversation.
Before long, they were talking about Evan.
“He probably went to Seaborne,” Aaron said.
Stella went quiet.
Seaborne.
Before they left Harbor City, Lucas had called and said Evan had likely gone
Now Aaron was saying the same thing.
So Evan really had gone to Seaborne.

“Is Seaborne far from here p>
Aaron’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“What are you thinking? Do you want to go find him?” 1
A chill entered his gaze when he said the words *go find him p>
“No, not at all p>
“Stella, women of the Hogarth family do not need to waste their lives over romance p>
Stella said nothing.
Was he telling her not to become love-struck?
“I got over that a long time ago p>
Especially when it came to Evan.
Unless she was an idiot, there was no way she would still be hung up on Evan after everything he had put her through.
“And Felix?” Aaron asked.
Felix again.
For a moment, Stella did not know how to answer.
Especially under the quiet, dangerous pressure in Aaron’s eyes.
If she answered badly and Aaron grew suspicious of Felix, things could become complicated.
She still did not know the full truth about Felix’s phone call.
For now, she did not want to make a big deal out of it.
“Stella p>
“I’ll listen to you, Aaron p>
She had no idea how to answer, so she handed the decision to him instead.
Aaron paused.

Then he let out a low laugh.
“You’ll listen to me? Are you sure p>
“I’m sure p>
“Then starting tomorrow, you’ll train with Leah p>
“Leah p>
Stella froze.
Leah was one of Aaron’s security specialists.
Stella had seen her skills with her own eyes.
Why did Aaron want her to train with Leah? 1
