"Stellina, what are you doing there?"

Diego's voice jolted the attention of Stellina who had been watching the scene outside the window of the mansion for the past hour. Stellina was even more surprised to see Diego coming with two cups in each hand. As he got closer, the distinctive aroma of tea greeted Stellina's sense of smell.

"Why are you here all of a sudden?" asked Stellina, her gaze fixed on the two gels.

Diego stopped in his tracks beside Stellina and handed her one of the gels. "For you. I made these personally," he said as he held out his hand.

Stellina looked at the glass Diego handed her in surprise. Diego almost never made tea for Stellina. In fact, she thought he might be doing some other work right now.

"Why did you make this for me?" asked Stellina, showing her suspicion openly. "I don't think there's any reason for you to suddenly be so nice to me."

Diego's thin smile that signaled sincerity faded in an instant. Now the look of annoyance on his face was immediately a

    "Hey Diego, we met here!"As Diego and Stellina walked hand in hand out of the shop, Benigno suddenly appeared.

Various types of decorations and event trinkets filled the rooms of the mansion.Today's important event required Stellina to overhaul every detail in the rooms of the mansion. For some reason, Stellina could not just fix them one by one. Since yesterday, Stellina had even consulted with someone who was an expert in choosing room decoration colors. Only a few things had their colors chosen by the expert, while the rest were chosen by Stellina herself.Descending the stairs after checking the second floor, Stellina walked over to the dining room that was directly adjacent to the living room. Stellina's arrival sent the servants into a tizzy. They were suddenly nervous after receiving Stellina's watchful gaze.But on the other hand, Stellina was focused on t

Your lifetime salary alone won't be able to afford such an expensive silk dress, you won't escape my punishment," she scolded.Madam Massimo looked sarcastically at Cessa whose face was now deathly pale.Hearing Madam Massimo's sharp words, Stellina did not remain silent. She could not stand it when her servant was chastised and humiliated by Madam Massimo."Anthony should take Cessa downstairs.

Seeing Stellina busy taking care of Arianna was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen."Get ready Stellina, today I'm taking you to a special place."Stellina's face lit up instantly. It was unusual for Diego to ask her out without asking her first."Where are we going today?" asked Stellina with a sweet smile on her lips."Just come along, you'll find out later."After Stellina got ready, it turned out that Diego had brought her the house where he was born and raised. The house had now been transformed into a restaurant with a vintage style."Come in," Diego said softly. He took Stellina by the hand. Their arrival was welcomed by the owner of the restaurant."Hello, Diego, it's been a while since I've seen you, why do you look so fresh and young," Bruno greeted him kindly."You're sti

A bond between mother and daughter that even Stellina herself could not explain. With Arianna, Stellina feels like a perfect woman even though Arianna is not her daughter."Honey, I've only been gone for a while, I miss you, mom and dad have work to do first." Stellina replied softly while looking at Arianna's clear eyes that radiated sincerity."Mama, Arianna wants a pony. Do you want to buy it for me?"

In his mind, Matteo questioned who the stranger was who suddenly said the painting was a fake."What did he say?" asked Eston, interrupting Matteo's thoughts.Matteo immediately smiled stiffly at Eston. Of course he could not let Eston be swayed by the stranger's words."Sir, he may have just been joking," Matteo said, trying to reassure Eston.Eston shifted his gaze from looking at Diego and the stranger's backs, to looking at Matteo. The look of doubt on his face instantly faded and he returned to arching a proud smile."That's right. Why should we think about it? It is also possible that Diego took the man away because he wanted to reprimand him," Eston replied, nodding his head twice.Hearing that suddenly made Matteo breathe a sigh of relief.

Others were making preparations for heavy equipment to unload the large container from the ship.After the special stairs appeared and stretched out as a path, Matteo appeared with three bodyguards. They descended the stairs, with the three bodyguards occasionally keeping Matteo's body balanced."Don't forget to make sure the container doesn't fall and damage the goods inside!"

Don't make any mistakes that make him suspicious of all this." Diego reiterated Stellina's role. This time the beautiful girl didn't answer, she just looked

There was still a little time to prepare a few things.Stellina smiled gently at Arianna who had fallen asleep in the car, but when they arrived at the airport, her eyes were perfectly round. It was as if the little girl had been fully recharged to run here and there through the vast airport."Watch your step, sweetie, don't get in the way of people who want to pass.""Mama, the airport is spacious and very cool. I like it, are we going to wait here for a long time?" asked Arianna, holding her hair which occasionally covered her face."We'll just wait for the plan
