Keegan held her tightly and said, "Believe me, I'll do it."Stella closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. After ignoring Keegan for some time, she finally fell asleep.However, she did not get a peaceful sleep. In her dreams, she saw Trevor boarding the plane. During his journey back, the plane lost control and disintegrated in the air. Trevor was crushed and could barely be recognized.Stella woke up in a cold sweat from the nightmare. She looked out the window and realized that it was just beginning to dawn, but Keegan was no longer by her side.She glanced at her phone and found out that it was not even 7 a.m. yet.She then lifted the blanket and got out of bed. After draping her jacket over her shoulders, she walked out of the room.The house was silent, with only Maria tidying up Aurora's room.Suddenly, Stella had a bad feeling. She quickly dialed Keegan's number, but there was no answer. She tried calling Wenham, but it was the same.With a pale face, Stella ret
Of course, it was not safe to keep a girl waiting alone for several hours. Besides, Trevor was unsure about the exact traveling time. So, he had the pilot take the plane to pick up his daughter first, and he would catch a later commercial flight after obtaining the information.So, they parted ways at the airport. Trevor took a cab to meet his friend while the pilot and copilot flew the plane loaded with supplies back to Rivera.When Trevor got what he wanted and went back to the airport, it had already been three hours. Then, he booked the earliest flight back to Rivera.The private plane crashed into the sea five hours after taking off. At that time, Trevor was still on the other commercial flight without any phone signal, so he did not know about the accident. He slept for a few hours on the plane, which had just landed long ago.As soon as he disembarked, he called Stella. The flight arrived earlier than expected, so he wanted to tell her not to come and pick him up. However, h
Stella arrived at the airport shortly after, too. When she saw Trevor, she rushed into his arms and hugged him tightly.After returning to the Saun family, Stella had never expressed such intense emotions.Although the family showed great warmth toward her, spending more than twenty years apart still cast a subconscious sense of estrangement in their daily interactions.Trevor sometimes thought that it would be difficult for Stella to form a close bond with him after so many years of not being together.However, now that he was hugged tightly by Stella, he realized that he might have been overthinking.He figured that she had probably gotten the reserved trait from Wenham. Although they might not express their feelings openly, they care deeply about their family members.Thinking about her crying over the phone just now and looking at those puppy-like eyes, Trevor could not help but rub Stella's hair. Then, he said warmly, smiling, "You're about to be a mother. Don't cry so easil
"Wenham said, "We're not going to Mystonia anymore.""What?" Darcie was puzzled.Wenham continued happily, "Trevor is back. He didn't board the plane that crashed. For some reason, he took another flight. He was on that plane, so he couldn't call us."Darcie's expression changed slightly. She could not help but tighten her grip on the phone as she asked softly, "Are you saying that Trevor is safe? Is he with you now?""Yeah, I'll let him speak to you for a while," Wenham said before handing the phone to Trevor.Before Darcie could recollect herself, Trevor's voice came through, "Darcie, it's me."Darcie's heart skipped a beat. After a long pause, she said, "I'm glad you're back. You'll never know how terrified we were when we received that phone call from the embassy yesterday. We thought that you were... It's great that you're safe now. I'll have Sandra prepare some extra dishes when you come home with your dad. It's New Year's Eve today; let's have dinner together. Forget about
Darcie's expression eased, "Don't say things like that. Just talk to me before making any decisions next time. Don't take matters into your own hands. I know you have good intentions, but what you did might end up causing trouble for Jaylene."The man responded, "I understand."Darcie was about to say something more when the door suddenly pushed open, startling her. Jaylene rushed in and said, "Mom, Trevor is safe!"Darcie glowered at her, "Where are your manners? How could you barge in here without knocking?"Jaylene apologized but still felt very happy. She walked over to hold Darcie's hand and said excitedly, "Trevor wasn't in the private plane. He took a commercial flight back instead. I knew that such bad things would never happen to him."She paused momentarily before asking, "Mom, why are you not surprised?"Darcie said helplessly, "Your dad called and told me about it already."Why didn't you tell me? I've been crying for so long," Jaylene complained as she glanced at Da
'He is bad with his words. I have no idea why Stella loves him so much,' Wenham and Trevor thought to themselves."Then you should go home and celebrate. The e-hailing drivers are probably still working. You can order one online," Stella said, throwing his passport at him. "Goodbye."Holding his passport, Keegan finally realized Stella was angry at him for silently leaving her at home and going abroad with Wenham to find Trevor.Keegan, concerned for Stella's pregnancy, didn't want her traveling so far abroad. Anything could have happened to Trevor at that time, and Keegan was worried that Stella's health would be affected by the uncertainties.However, he had no right to stop her as Trevor was her brother.Around five in the morning, Wenham sent Keegan a WhatsApp message, telling him that the flights had resumed, and they could leave the country around seven.Wenham, not wanting Stella to come along, asked Keegan to persuade her otherwise. Knowing it was impossible, Keegan chose
Aldor couldn't help but burst into laughter this time.Keegan glared at him. Aldor, smiling, said, "This kind of reminds me of when you and Mrs. Kane first got divorced."This implied that everyone had turned against Keegan.Keegan kept quiet.Ultimately, Aldor still ended up taking Keegan to Cordelia's house. Of course, Cordelia had been joking earlier. How could she not welcome her grandson home for dinner?Baldwin was waiting at the door for Keegan. As the car came to a stop, he walked over, opened the door, and said, "Aldor, wait a moment. Mrs. Kane Sr. wants to speak with you."Surprised, Aldor stayed nonetheless.Chandler had been on a business trip a few days ago where a severe flu outbreak occurred. Unfortunately, he caught it and couldn't make it back home.Cyrene, still holding a grudge against Keegan for calling the police on Jackson, didn't make an effort to come over and pretend to please Cordelia, especially with her husband away.Fearing Cordelia, Dahlia chose t
The dining table was filled with lavish dishes, especially since Cordelia had planned to invite Sylvia over, the preparations were even more sumptuous.The five of them sat together at the table with about thirty different dishes served. It was Sylvia's first time having dinner with Aldor's boss, and she was very reserved. She was afraid to speak and even move, fearing that she might bring trouble to her son.Aldor gave Sylvia a set of utensils and said in a low voice, "Mom, relax yourself. Mrs. Kane Sr. is a very easy-going person."Sylvia nodded but only ate the few dishes placed right in front of her.Cordelia saw it and asked with a smile, "Sylvia, among all the dishes, do you only like the ones in front of you?"Sylvia was taken aback, and she shook her head. "N-No. They're all delicious.""Have some of them then," Cordelia said warmly before turning to Aldor, "Aldor, please help your mother with it. We must eat well and be happy on this joyous day."Aldor nodded and placed
