Edith looked closely at Stella's face. It seemed like she saw a glimpse of her own daughter in Stella as her eyes welled up in tears.

Stella got emotional too, but not to the point of crying.

She was different from the family in the room with her. She had been carefully taken care of by Rainee since she was a baby and had no idea that she had been switched. She had never personally experienced the pain of losing a loved one for the past twenty years.

However, the Hall and Saun families had gone through the death of a grandchild and a daughter, who was also Wenham's wife. It was a tragedy for them.

That was the reason why they were so easily overwhelmed by their emotions as soon as they saw Stella, who was well and healthy, appearing in front of them.

Stella felt a hint of warmth in her heart, suddenly filling her emotional void that had been empty for the past several years. Edith held her hand and asked gently, "Stella, have you been doing well all these years?"

    Stella could immediately sense that the atmosphere in the room became somewhat awkward as soon as Darcie spoke.Wilfred's friendliness disappeared, and the look on Edith's face turned nonchalant. Daryl took a sip of his wine without saying anything. Trevor's gaze paused before he greeted her flatly, "Hello, Darcie."Wenham stood up awkwardly and asked, "What brings you here?"Darcie replied gently, "You forgot your blood pressure medication. I was worried that you couldn't buy it here, so I brought it for you."Trevor kept his lips pursed and remained silent. Blood pressure medication was not an emergency pill like nitroglycerine; it was not needed to be always carried around.However, Wenham did not think too much about it. He took the medication and said in a low voice, "You could've just asked someone to bring it over. Why did you come personally?"Darcie replied softly, "Mr. and Mrs. Hall Sr. have been in Rivera for some time now, and I wanted to pay them a visit. And... I al

    Stella did not know what to say in response. The atmosphere turned awkward again. After a moment, Wenham chimed in, "Stella, just accept it as a blessing from my wife."Stella had no choice but to take it and thanked Darcie politely. Edith stared at Darcie for a while before turning to her son and said, "Daryl, have the waiter prepare another set of utensils."Darcie quickly waved her hand. "It's okay, Mrs. Hall Sr., I'm going to leave now. You all have a good chat with Stella." Then, she turned around and said to Wenham, "I'll get a room ready in the house for Stella as soon as possible. I can ask Jaylene to switch rooms with her, too, if she prefers Jaylene's room. I can't wait for Stella to live with us."Wenham looked a little moved as he gently patted Darcie's arm and softly said, "Thank you so much."Darice smiled and replied, "It's my duty."Then, she bid farewell to everyone politely and left.Although Darcie was gone, Stella could still feel like the atmosphere was not a

    Just twenty minutes ago, Keegan was bargaining with Vermont on the phone while sitting in his car."I reached home at three thirty in the morning yesterday just to tail that person for you! Ten thousand? Am I a beggar to you? At least one million!"Keegan's eyelid twitched. "A million? Do you even deserve it?"Vermont could only get along so well with Keegan solely because of how shameless he could be. What Keegan said hurt his self-esteem a bit."How do I not deserve it? Do you realize how old I am now? I can't believe I stayed up so late for the sake of your ex-father-in-law. I'm putting my life at risk here! I have probably one less day to live now because of how tired I got last night. Isn't a day of my life worth one million? Your wife demanded two and a half million from me when you were slashed at the bar back then! How am I not worth it if even you're worth that much?"Vermont could just not forget about the two and a half million, so he had to take the opportunity to ask

    When Keegan watched Stella walk inside, he wondered if Leighton would beat Trevor right then and there after discovering that she was his cousin. Keegan tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and picked up his phone to call Leighton.Leighton's phone rang after taking just a few steps. He got upset as soon as he saw the incoming call from Keegan.Keegan was not only the ex-husband of Stella but also her current boyfriend. There was no way Leighton would be happy to receive a call from him. However, Leighton answered the call anyway after considering what Keegan had done to help him before."What is it?"Leighton spoke coldly, showing no interest in talking with Keegan. But Keegan was not bothered. He figured Leighton would eventually realize he was far more "affectionate" toward him than his immoral cousin, Trevor."On your left," Keegan spoke flatly.Leighton paused and turned his head to look. Then, he saw the window of a Mercedes slowly rolling down next to them. Keegan was

    Leighton glanced at it and gave it back to Keegan. "I don't smoke."Keegan laughed. "It's not a lighter, but a prank toy my friend gave me. I'm too old for this, but I figured kids like you might like it."Although Leighton did not like being referred to as a kid, he felt a little tempted when he heard it was a prank toy. He lifted his gaze and asked, "Is it a lighter that sprays water?"'It would be boring if that's all it does, judging by how well it's made.' Leighton said inwardly.Keegan glanced at him. "Why would I bother giving you something like that?"'It's not?' Leighton got more interested in it. "What does it do then?"Keegan grabbed his phone and sent him a picture. "Read the instructions yourself."Leighton read it, and his eyes immediately lit up. He wanted to have it, but he hesitated because it was given by Keegan, his crush's ex-husband. 'What kind of man am I if I accepted this gift?' Leighton thought to himself.Then, he cleared his throat and said, "I didn't

    Leighton was different from everyone else in the room; he had never met Freesia, so he did not share a deep relationship with her. That was why he had not paid much attention to this cousin, who seemed to appear out of nowhere.However, he was quite pleased to have a new cousin in the family. It meant he now had someone to use as a shield if his father ever complained about him again in the future. After all, this cousin did not grow up in his family, so he figured she could never be more outstanding than him. In that way, he would no longer have to be the worst-performing member of the family and be despised by his father.Leighton pushed the door open after adjusting his clothes. Then, he saw his crush sitting in the middle of his family.He was shocked.Stella was stunned too. She paused and was unsure whether she should put the piece of prawn into her mouth or not. Keegan had previously told her about the relationship between Leighton and Trevor, so she already knew that Leight

    Trevor was a petty person. He refused to reveal Stella's identity to Leighton when he asked for a photo of his long-lost cousin. His plan was to let him find out during the family gathering and make a fool of himself. He found it entertaining to know that Leighton would have to suppress his anger and frustration in front of Edith and Wilfred, especially since he was not letting him have his way.However, to his surprise, Leighton laughed strangely instead of getting upset.When Trevor inquired about the reason behind the laughter, Leighton composed himself and said, "I'm just overjoyed to know that my celebrity idol is my cousin."His words left Edith stunned. "Stella is your celebrity idol?" she asked."Yeah, grandma. Remember the voice actor I told you about?" Leighton's voice softened as he explained.Edith had taken the time to know her grandson's interests, so she knew who he was referring to. "You mean Dusk Galaxy?"Leighton nodded.Edith was not familiar with animated cha

    Seeing Wilfred and Edith's reaction, Stella realized that she had misspoken. She was about to rectify her words when Wilfred said, "We have plenty of fountain pens at home. They're not THAT rare. Besides, it's the thought that counts. I personally think tea leaves are a better choice than a pen."Stella was a bit surprised to hear that. "But, I've never seen a Carpi fountain pen in all life," she said, trying to justify its value through its rarity.Unexpectedly, Wilfred unwrapped the gift box Darcie brought and presented Stella with a Carpi fountain pen. "Here. Take a good look. It's yours if you like it. If you don't, we can go to Royalburgh and pick out one of the many fountain pens in my study. And, if you like them all, I can give you my entire collection," he said.Wilfred's generosity shocked Stella. She tried to decline the offer and said, "That's okay, Grandpa. I'm not particularly skilled in calligraphy. I was just curious."However, Wilfred insisted. "What do you mean? Y

    Keegan moved from initial resistance to reluctantly listening, and eventually to questioning."Why do these novels portray men as so stupid and brainless, yelling at the female lead as if they have intermittent explosive disorder?""Is the male lead sick? Forcing the female lead to donate a kidney, is he out of his mind?""How many years would they get for calling the police in their world?""Why is he so dumb? The supporting actress claims the female lead pushed her into the water and he believes it? Is checking surveillance footage illegal?""Stella, are you making fun of me?""I can't learn this. It all feels so neurotic. What does the female lead see in him?"Stella retorted, "Who cares if it's neurotic? Just mimic that stupidity, that's how these innocent women like men who protect them like that."Keegan was very reluctant, but his brain was more compliant than his body. Without needing to study deliberately, everything he heard stuck in his mind.So when Keegan mentione

    Keegan's expression darkened with anger. "You're being completely unreasonable!"Stella crossed her arms, wearing an expression that seemed challenging. "You let her take it. Let's see if I dare."Jaylene hadn't actually wanted those junk items in the first place; she was deliberately trying to stir up discord between them. Now that her goal was achieved, she put on a sympathetic look."Keegan, I don't want it anymore. Don't be angry. Your health is more important. Didn't the doctor say to keep your emotions stable?"Turning her head, she reproached Stella. "Stella, are you here to help Keegan recover his memory or just to provoke him?""Shut up, you brat! Do you even have a say here?"Acting under the guise of a drama, playing the role of someone lacking in manners, was incredibly satisfying.She’d wanted to curse this brat for a long time!Jaylene's lips twitched, but she held back, tearfully saying, "Stella, if you don't like me, I'll leave. There's no need to humiliate me l

    Jaylene understood the situation perfectly. Even though she didn't particularly like these cold, mechanical devices, she put on a pretense of surprise, saying, "Really, Keegan?"Keegan nodded. "Choose one you like.""Keegan!" Before Stella could finish her sentence, she couldn't hold back her sharp voice, "With your pile of junk that I can't even touch normally, she takes a look and now you want to give it to her? What's the meaning of this?!"Keegan frowned, apparently not comprehending her current anger at all. "Jaylene gave me a gift, and I'm giving her one in return. What's the problem?""What problem?" Stella's eyes started to redden. "I can't touch them, so why should she be able to? Have you forgotten, or do you have inappropriate feelings for her?"Keegan's expression darkened. "This makes no sense!"Jaylene secretly delighted in this, hypocritically trying to calm things down, "Forget it, Keegan. Since Stella minds so much, I don't want it anymore. You've strained your r

    The standoff lasted for over twenty minutes before Keegan grabbed a book and knocked the beetle off Jaylene's neck. The beetle fluttered twice and suddenly flew up, landing on Jaylene's face.Jaylene screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted.As she collapsed, the bug flew off again."Jaylene?"Keegan called out to her.He looked up at Stella and said, "You go start the car, I'll carry her to the hospital."As he spoke, he signaled to Stella.She understood and coldly grunted, "So troublesome."Walking over to Jaylene, she squatted down beside her and slapped her face twice.Jaylene immediately opened her eyes and reached out to push her away. "What are you doing!"Stella was prepared and had already moved back before she could be pushed.She shook her tingling hand and innocently said, "Jaylene, you fainted because of the bug. I was just saving you. Don't believe me? Ask Keegan."Jaylene nearly ground her teeth. Did she think she hadn't heard? She was intentionally exposing h

    Her fingertips trembled with a mix of horror and excitement. Just as the teapot was about to slip from her grasp, Keegan suddenly said, "Jaylene, don't move."Jaylene froze, instinctively thinking Keegan had regained his memory. She had barely twitched when Keegan loudly stopped her again, "Don't move, absolutely don't move."Jaylene wanted to say something, but then felt an itching sensation on her neck, as if something was crawling slowly. Goosebumps erupted all over her body.By now, Stella had turned around and saw Jaylene standing stiffly with the teapot in hand. Her eyes quickly assessed the situation and then she noticed the beetle crawling on Jaylene's neck.It was an unknown species, not overly tentacled but as long as a little finger, its mouthparts slightly twitching, genuinely alarming in appearance.Stella murmured, "It's so big."Jaylene couldn't see what was on her neck, unsure if it would bite or if it was venomous. She stood frozen in place, her voice trembling,

    Seeing him, Stella even lowered her eyes and softly praised, "Mr. Kane, you acted very well."Keegan glared at her, his voice low and intense. "If you keep watching like this, Coco will cut ties with me tomorrow."Stella replied confidently, "No, she won't. After accepting the red envelope, she can tolerate you a little longer."Keegan asked sharply, "Did you teach her to ask for red envelopes like this?""Don't falsely accuse me; I didn't teach her.""You may not have taught her directly, but you set an example. Have you forgotten how you always make me buy things for you?"Stella was speechless. Whenever she wanted Keegan to buy her something, she would often say, "Gifts are only surprises when given voluntarily. If reminded, it shows they don’t like me that much."It had to be said, Coco had learned the essence of it.Stella also felt a bit awkward, thinking that in the future, she needed to avoid such flirtatious conversations between spouses in front of the children. They

    Could she figure all this out?Keegan frowned, casting a disappointed look at Coco. "Are you not listening to me now?"Coco raised her gaze defiantly and stated, "Aunt Stella taught me that if I don't want something someone gives me, I can say no. I don't want this hairpin.""Didn't she teach you that even if you don't like something, you should still say thank you?"Coco fell silent for a moment, then reluctantly said to Jaylene, "Thank you, Aunt Jaylene, but I don't want it."Jaylene hesitated with her hand extended, unsure whether to retract it or leave it there, managing a strained smile. "Then what do you like? Next time, I will get you something you do like."Coco asked, "Do you want me to do something for you?"Jaylene was taken aback. "What?"Coco replied seriously, "Aunt Stella says offering help without reason is either deceitful or thieving. Since you don't like me, why else would you give me something? You want me to do something for you, right?"Jaylene forced a s

    Leighton's incident did indeed revive their suspicions.Jaylene was gullible, but Darcie might see through this scheme. "Keegan, why didn't you go to work today?" Jaylene chose to ask directly at first.Keegan remained composed. "I've been busy with the press conference lately and haven't had much rest. Now that things have slowed down, I thought I'd take a break and relax."Jaylene spoke gently, "You should rest well. Since you came back, you've been busy, and you've been postponing Dr. Stone's follow-up appointments. Keegan, I'm really worried about your health. Since you're resting these days, I'll arrange for Dr. Stone to give you another check-up. Stella has been living here to assist your recovery for so long. We need the doctor to give a clear assessment of whether there's been any improvement. Otherwise, it's not good for Stella's reputation to stay here so long, unmarried and under one roof."Keegan nodded. "Okay, please arrange it. Thank you."His response was decisive,

    Stella had just descended the stairs when she heard that remark, causing her eyelids to twitch as she thought to herself, “Damn it! He really knows how to come up with excuses!”Upon hearing this, Jaylene's eyes briefly flashed with disdain, but she ultimately accepted the shoe covers Keegan handed her. As Keegan led Jaylene into the house, her eyes continued to scrutinize every corner.There were a couple of pillows on the sofa, couple mugs on the table, wedding photos of Keegan and Stella on the walls, and even headbands and hair ties scattered on the table. The house exuded an unmistakable feminine touch.Jaylene's expression darkened, but when Keegan turned to ask if she preferred tea or coffee, she adopted a gentle, harmless demeanor. "Tea would be perfect."Keegan invited her to take a seat and called for Maria to prepare tea. Jaylene spoke softly, "Keegan, I heard from Stella that you brew Dragon Well tea better than anyone else. Is there a special technique?"Stella paused
