Chapter 42
Chapter 42:.
After hearing his words, Stella became so frightened that her body trembled and her legs weakened. This man... Did he want
her to die of a heart attack?
Although they had met earlier at the hospital, RK had not asked her or said a single word or question. He didn’t ask, which meant
he didn’t take Adrian seriously. It also meant that he hadn’t noticed anything particular about him. Now, why did he suddenly ask
that question?
What’s more, she didn’t ask him when she was standing in front of him, she asked a child! What did this man want to do? Stella
was so frightened that her hands and feet were trembling, and her heart was beating very fast.
But in the next second, for the sake of her precious child, she came to her senses and calmed down.
He looked at the father and son duo sitting on the couch and said, “Mr. Kingston, didn’t I tell you last time that Adrian is Emily’s
nephew, have you forgotten?”
But when Adrian heard her words, he felt very unhappy. He hadn’t even been able to say a single word before Stella snatched
the opportunity away from him.
At being called Emily’s nephew, the little boy pouted with a small mouth and felt unhappy. He looked at her angrily. What a great
liar! Couldn’t he tell others that he was her son? Adrian Richard was Stella Richard’s son! How could he be so shameful?
RK just looked at her, but said nothing. Stella didn’t know if he believed her or not. She nervously looked at the man’s face, trying
to find something in his expression. However, no matter how she looked, she couldn’t find anything.
Because no matter what, this man always had a calm and indifferent expression. You couldn’t tell from his face what he was
thinking.
However, Stella thought in her heart that, if only for a while, she was sure that the man had believed her. But it was only
temporary.
Now that this man had asked the question, it meant that she was beginning to doubt Adrian’s identity. Not to mention the
suspicion of whose son he was, at least the little boy lived with her at home.
It was normal for him to have some doubt about Adrian and perhaps find it strange. Was he thinking about why his ex-wife was
living with a child? He must have been thinking too much. How could he think so much?
“Adrian... hurry back to your room and go to sleep. It’s already getting late, and you still have to go to school tomorrow,”
Ga ln ovels . com fuels your imagination
Stella said, quickly patting the boy’s soft shoulder. It would be better if she went back to her room as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the more time Adrian spent in front of RK, the more uncomfortable she would feel.
She was very scared. Stella was afraid that RK would find out about Adrian, and then this man might hurt her. Stella could stand
anything, but the most unbearable thing in the world for her was for someone to hurt Adrian.
She couldn’t let that happen. Adrian was everything to her. She couldn’t even think about him being hurt.
How could Adrian’s little brain understand adult conflict? He thought Darling must have become infatuated with this guy because
If it weren’t for the fact that the little guy’s heart was as big as the ocean, he really wouldn’t be able to stand it. Just like that, for
the sake of his love, his own mother had abandoned him.
Normally, he would say, “Adrian, you’re Mom’s favorite,” “Mom’s pride,” and “Mom’s life,” and say a lot of sweet words like that.
But when the time came... Darling became instantly hostile. What did he do when he was in front of the man? She didn’t even
acknowledge him. If she could abandon him now just like that, what would happen in the future?
In the future, when they got married, there would be no room for him at home. Adrian said loudly, “Hmph!” He was showing his
anger!
He jumped off the couch in embarrassment and ran to his room. He was still wearing his panda pajamas, and when he walked
away so dramatically, the scene looked very desolate and depressing. He looked like someone who had been kicked out of the
house.
It was very funny. Adrian went back to his room, leaving only Stella and RK in the living room.
As for Emily, she was not at home. This girl liked to go out with her friends to the bars, so she didn’t usually come back. After
picking up the pants from the floor, Stella looked at the man and said, “Sit here and wait for me. I’ll go wash them for you...”.
“Okay,” RK replied nonchalantly. He acted like it was his house.
“So you...” Stella stood awkwardly and pointed to her wet underwear. She didn’t know whether he should take them off or not.
After being interrupted by the little fellow a moment ago, the ambiguous atmosphere between them seemed to have been
extinguished by a bucket of cold water. Neither of them had the same interest as before.
RK did not answer. He got up from the couch and asked where the bathroom was before going inside. Stella held the man’s
pants in her arms and stood there, feeling a little unnatural no matter what she looked like. She felt like a big wave that had yet to
settle.
Five minutes later, the man emerged from the bathroom. He was wearing only his shirt, and his lower body was wrapped in a
bath towel. Stella shook her head. If this continued, she felt she would become his fangirl. She was going crazy.
“Here, wash it for me.”
Stella lowered her head and blushed because suddenly a pair of male briefs appeared before her eyes. Stella’s face turned
apple red. Just now, she really wanted to wash it. But now, with what this man said or did, no matter how she looked, it didn’t
seem to feel right. She felt strange.
For a moment, she stood motionless. She didn’t know whether she should take it or not. Take it! She really wanted to wash it.
She didn’t need to think too hard. It didn’t seem right to her. She was the one who soiled his pants. So no matter what he said,
she had to wash them. She couldn’t afford to compensate him with money.
He opened his thin lips and said, “Do it; it’s not like you never washed it.” As she said this, she took Stella’s hand and handed her
black underwear to her.
Then he walked past Stella and sat down on the couch. He was like a great lord, sitting there waiting for his servant to wash his
pants.
What a shameless, shameless punk! This bastard! He was becoming increasingly rude to her. He was behaving as if Stella owed
Stella stomped her foot in anger and walked into the bathroom with the man’s pants in her hand. She wasn’t about to give up. If
she had known earlier that the man would behave like this, she would have been more careful.
I would never have been so kind as to help him apply the medicine to the wound on his hand and even help him buy it.
Look at the man; where was the wound on his hand? It looked perfectly fine to her. He could even pinch it and hit it – he could do
anything! After Stella married into the Kingston family, the Richards stopped giving her money.
They always treated her as if she had married into a rich and powerful family. They wouldn’t pay her tuition or living expenses.
It was obvious they wanted her to go to the Kingston family for these expenses. Of course, before she married RK, David only
paid her tuition. Also, they only paid her tuition until she turned eighteen; after that, it was paid by Tristan, who worked hard
outside and earned for her.
But after she married RK, Tristan seemed to disappear from her world. As a result, Stella had no one to pay her tuition and child
support. At that point, she mentioned to him that she wanted to go out to work, but he didn’t agree.
He just told her that if she listened to him, he could pay her expenses every month. As it turned out... the meaning of “paying
attention to him” involved things like helping him wash clothes and socks.
So, every day I had to cook for him, change his clothes.... Every day I had to be at the door waiting for him when he came home
from work. I couldn’t sleep before he came home, I had to wait. All that became the meaning of “listening to him”. But things
didn’t end there.
Of course, he wasn’t just paying her tuition. Stella was studying at a well-known university, and tuition, living and housing
expenses were expensive.
The money was only enough to cover her monthly living expenses, but not enough to pay for tuition or room and board.
So when it came time to pay her tuition, this man would trade her obligation to do the housework for the obligation to sleep with
him. They were legal husband and wife, so it was a very normal thing for a couple.
But the situation between them was very different. She had no problem sleeping with him, but... she wanted to do it for love, not
for some exchange between them.
At first, Stella tried to borrow money from her friends, but they were all the same age as her, students. So they couldn’t lend her
tens of thousands that way. Later, the teacher started to insist her to pay again and again.
They didn’t treat her well even though she was just reading her book. Sometimes they even asked her to stay outside the
classroom listening to the lecture.... It was a warning.
In the end, Stella had to decide to risk everything to have a relationship with this man. Therefore, even though she was married
into a wealthy family, this man had given her a single penny for no reason.
Thinking about it now, Stella felt even more aggrieved. Six years ago, she had to wash that man’s clothes and underwear.
Six years later, even after getting divorced, nothing changed for her. She was still doing the same thing. Stella felt she owed this
man something in her last life, and so she had to pay him back in this one.
Fifteen minutes later... It took Stella a lot of effort to wash the pants and underwear, dry them and take them out. But when she
came out of the bathroom, she heard laughter coming from the living room. When Stella came out, she saw that Adrian, who had
just been sent to sleep in his room, was now sitting on the couch in the living room. Father and son were sitting on the couch,
chatting and laughing happily.
