Hearing Zayden’s offer, Stellar couldn’t deny that she was tempted."Alright, I’d love to give it a shot!"A satisfied smile spread across Zayden’s face.He reveled in the feeling of having her within his grasp, unwilling to let go."I’ll personally take you there tomorrow.""Then…" Stellar was about to say she needed to head back and prepare.But the moment Zayden sensed she was about to part ways with him, he quickly spoke up."Senior, I didn’t just come here to see you today. There’s someone I want to take you to meet.""Who?""Our old mentor. He’s in town for a while. Would you come with me to visit him?" His gaze was sincere, almost pleading.Stellar hadn’t expected him to be so respectful toward their teacher.Back when they were younger, she assumed Zayden hated their mentor and their fellow classmates—practically everyone except her.Maybe she had misunderstood him.With a warm smile, she nodded."Of course! I haven’t seen him in so long. Let’s stop by a shop and pick up some g

That made sense—Joy would never let something like that spread. Stellar remained silent for a moment, considering that Stephen was still a senior engineer at SA Aerospace. She decided not to speak ill of the place. "Let’s just say it wasn’t a good fit for me." Stephen frowned slightly, suspecting she had encountered something unpleasant. "What’s next? Do you have any plans?" On this, Stellar had nothing to hide. In fact, she spoke with a hint of excitement. "My junior mentioned an opportunity at Starlight Aerospace. I’d like to give it a shot." She had meant to share her good news with him. But as soon as she said it, Stephen’s frown deepened. "So, you'd rather accept his help than mine?"Stellar was caught off guard. "What?" Stephen’s voice grew heavier. "Do you really think he’s just helping you out of kindness? He’s making sure you owe him…" Who knew what else he was planning behind the scenes? "That’s your bias talking." Stellar emphasized, displeased. "He’s

Stephen draped his coat over her shoulders, his voice gentle yet firm. "Be good, just hold on. I’ll take you to the hospital." With that, he scooped her up effortlessly and strode out of the room. Nestled against his familiar embrace, Stellar felt a deep sense of security. Her tense body gradually relaxed, and before she knew it, she drifted off to sleep. When she woke again, daylight was streaming through the windows. She was lying on a hospital bed. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Stephen, seated at her bedside, his gaze locked on her. "You’re awake." There was unmistakable relief in his voice. Her hazy mind slowly cleared, memories flooding back in an instant. Clutching his neck, clinging to him, kissing him deeply—fragments of those intimate moments flashed through her mind, making her cheeks burn. Had she really thrown herself at Stephen like that? But before she could dwell on the embarrassment, a realization struck her, and her expressi

"I moved out of my family home years ago and have been living independently ever since. Of course, I have experience."Stephen’s response was confident.Zayden was momentarily speechless, his expression darkening as a cold glint flashed through his eyes.At the critical moment, Stellar intervened. "Alright, enough. Stop arguing. I’ve already requested a caregiver to take care of me. Right now, I need rest. If you two want to keep bickering, please take it outside. Thank you."Stephen and Zayden were speechless.With nothing more to say, the two men had no choice but to leave reluctantly.Once they walked a distance from the hospital room, Zayden dropped the act. His gaze turned cold and menacing as he looked at the man across from him."Stephen, there’s something you should know—I grew up with Stellar. We have a bond that outsiders can’t come between."Stephen’s expression remained indifferent.Zayden spoke each word with warning. "If you know what’s best for you, stay away from her.

At that critical moment, several figures suddenly rushed over from a distance. One of them shoved Percy aside before landing a heavy punch straight to his face.The force knocked him off balance, sending him tumbling to the ground."You scumbag! You used your wealth and power to get my sister pregnant, then tried to shut her up with money. “And now that she won’t bow to you, you have the audacity to ask for your money back? You’re absolutely shameless!"Look, everyone! This heartless bastard ruined my innocent daughter’s life! She was a good, decent girl, and now she’s been completely destroyed!"Dawn’s mother, Dolly Jones, had arrived, dragging her son along, and behind them was a swarm of media reporters, cameras flashing relentlessly."Click! Click!"The lenses zoomed in on Percy, capturing every angle."I can’t believe the great Percy Moore turned out to be this kind of man! No wonder his family went bankrupt!""Serves him right!""Mr. Moore, do you have anything to say for yours
