Chapter 1099 Diana was delighted to meet Stella. “Stella, I thought you wouldn‘t come.”
When Stella saw Diana, she finally showed a genuine smile on her face. “I left in a hurry last time, and I couldn‘t
congratulate you. How are you coming along?”
“We‘re good.” Diana rubbed her belly, wanting to share the joy of her pregnancy with Stella. However, after some
thought, she decided not to for fear that Stella would start overthinking After a few pleasantries, Michale and Diana
took their leave. Before leaving, he looked at Stella for a few moments, only smiling and saying nothing.
Diana could not help but whisper in his ear, “Am I imagining things? Why are you looking at Stella in such a strange
way? Are you two still not over what happened back then...”
Michael sighed. “I‘m sorry for her and Roger for what happened back then, but there‘s no other way. I only hope
they‘ll let it go eventually. We‘ll try to make it up for them too.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt the mention of Roger, Diana suddenly thought of something. “I haven‘t heard about Roger in a long time...”
She then got a little worried. “Why isn‘t he here at an event like this?”
Diana was unaware of the fact that Roger was not the Sealey family‘s biological child. Michael had no plan to tell
her anything, so he said, “Roger is more willful than Stella. It‘s only natural that he doesn‘t show up.”
Diana nodded but felt something was wrong.
Grandpa and Grandma Sealey were a bit patriarchal and preferred boys over girls. As their daughter–in–law, even
she could sense it.
However, Grandpa and Grandma Sealey did not seem to favor Roger a lot. When they told them to invite Stella to
pay her respect on behalf of her father at the funeral, they did not say a word about Roger.
It was as if Roger was not a member of the Sealey family.
Diana couldn‘t help but voice her doubts.
Michael put his arm around her shoulder and nudged her nose with a smile. “You‘ve become paranoid since you got
pregnant. Roger probably didn‘t want to come. Don‘t overthink things.”
“Is that so?” Diana touched her head and felt a little embarrassed. “I’m probably overthinking then...”
Stella and Weston came to the funeral hall. As soon as
they arrived, the others automatically made way for them.
Stella found it ironic to see her relatives speaking so nicely to her after ignoring her for years. She stared at the
portrait of Grandma Sealey with a strange feeling.
Despite that, she still paid her respects. After all, it was her father‘s family.
Stella had fond memories of them over the years. She just did‘t expect the world to be so unpredictable as soon as
they tore the superficial peace, revealing the cold and hard truth. It was cruel.
Weston portrayed himself as a very understanding son–in –law and accompanied Stella to speak to her relatives.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey did not plan to stay long. Besides, both knew very well that as long as Weston stayed, these people would be
here not just to pay their respects to the dead but to
strike up a conversation with Weston.
Stella was finally able to rest for a while, so Weston let her lean on him. “Feeling tired?”
“I‘m fine.”
Weston cupped her chin. “Don‘t push yourself too hard. You‘re here to pay your respects on your father‘s behalf.
It‘s alright if you want to leave now.”
Stella said nothing and rested while leaning on him.
Suddenly, Ben came in from outside. He glanced at Stella and hesitated a little. “Mrs. Ford...”
Stella knew Ben had something to say to Weston, so she stood up and gave them space. “I‘m going to the
washroom.”
Ben watched her disappear in the distance before whispering in Weston‘s ear, “Mr. Ford. Nicole and Belle are
looking for you right now. They‘d like to meet you.
