It was exactly her style.
If not for the softness and warmth of this room reaching straight into her heart, Stella might have forgotten what she truly liked.
After marrying Evan, she had slowly given up all the colors she loved.
Evan might have been a mess when it came to their relationship.
But his taste had always been restrained.
Black. White. Gray.
His room had always been decorated in those colors, with no trace of anything softer or more feminine.
Even after they got married, he never allowed her to change a thing in his room.
“So this is what it feels like to be home,” Stella murmured. “Even my preferences finally feel free again p>
A lot of people believed that once you got married, wherever your husband was became your second home.
But in all the years Stella had been married to Evan, there had been very little in that house that she actually liked.
Seeing that she was pleased, the housekeeper nodded.
“Your bath is ready, Miss. Please get some rest p>
“Okay p>
Stella nodded.
Just as the housekeeper turned to leave, Stella stopped him.
“When will my father be back p>
She had only just returned today, and she wanted to see him.
During all those years in Harbor City, she had missed her father deeply.
Ever since they had found her again, even though they had spent very little time together, both her father and Aaron had made her feel the warmth of having a family.
The housekeeper checked his watch.
“Sir will probably be back late tonight. There have been some developments involving the royal family lately p>
Stella had heard a little about what was happening in Eirden.
And with something that serious going on, her father would naturally be busy.
“That’s a shame. I guess I won’t see him tonight p>
“If you wake up early tomorrow, you probably will p>
Stella looked at him. “Has he been leaving early every day lately p>
“Yes, Miss p>

Stella fell silent.
Leaving early. Coming home late.
Whatever had happened was clearly more serious than she had thought.
But no matter what it was, there was nothing she could do to help.

Not long after Stella showered and got into bed, Jennifer called.
“Dora and Fiona were arrested. Did you know p>
“That was my final gift to them p>
Jennifer went quiet.
So Stella had planned it all along.
“When you only threw them out of the Wright estate, I thought you were really going to stop there p>
“Didn’t I tell you they had something even more hopeless waiting for them p>
“Oh, right. I remember now p>
Stella had said there would be one last gift.
She just had not said when.
Jennifer had assumed Dora and Fiona would be arrested the moment they were thrown out of the Wright estate.
But a whole day had passed.
“Wait, they saw the news about Aaron meeting you at the airport, right p>
Could that have been the final gift Stella meant?
If so, it really was a big one.
After all, they deserved to understand exactly what they had brought down on themselves.
Felix standing behind Stella had already been enough to leave Dora and Fiona in despair.
Now they had seen how close Stella was to Aaron.
That probably made it even worse.
The Wright family had likely believed they might still have a chance to recover once Stella and Felix left Harbor City.
But then they saw Aaron Hogarth.
How exactly were they supposed to come back from that?
Stella said, “They probably did p>
