Chapter 1162
Having her two children with her, Stella naturally didn‘t mind having more space for herself.
“Great,” she agreed immediately, not wanting to trouble the waitress anymore. “Just lead me there, then.”
“Thank you for your understanding, Madam.”
Each child by Stella‘s side, Both Elias and Emma, could now speak in simple sentences. Although they were little
over two years old, their development was closer to that of a three or four–year–old toddler, especially Elias, who
was a little too smart for his age.
Stella even brought him to a doctor to get examined. Everything about him was found to be normal, but she still
could not help but worry about him. The doctor assured her not to be too worried about it and told her to come
back again in a few years to check his IQ.
Suddenly, Stella‘s phone rang.
“Where are you?” she asked as soon as she answered the call. “Why aren’t you here yet?”

right now.”
“Don’t you have your assistant with you?” Stella frowned.
“We managed to score a huge deal today,” Miguel replied, “so I let them all go home. I’m here alone.”
“But I have Emma and Elias with me.”
“Okay,” Miguel replied, sounding as if his feelings were hurt. “I’ll go upstairs myself then…
“How old are you?” Stella asked, finding his reaction amusing. “Seriously, you’re acting like a child. How much did
you drink? If you can’t even climb up the stairs…”
“Okay,” Miguel interrupted her before continuing in good humor. “I get it, I get it. I’m going upstairs to find you
guys now.”
As soon as Stella hung up…. Splat!
Emma hurled the contents of a bowl in her hand toward Elias. There was now a massive red, sticky blotch of jam on
his shirt.
Elias frowned and glared disapprovingly at his sister before yelling, “Naughty! Emma is naughty!”
Stella had little choice but to hurriedly wipe the jam stain off her son‘s shirt with a napkin.
Emma sat quietly on the side, watching her mother and brother with a guilty look on her face as she covered her
ears with her hands.

Seeing this, Stella‘s anger quickly subsided. She naturally had no heart to reprimand her daughter, so all she did
was pick Elias up in her arms and tell Emma, “Be a good girl and stay here, okay? Mommy‘s taking Elias to the
restroom to clean him up, understand?”
Emma nodded.
Stella was still a little unsettled, so she called for a waitress. “Could you please keep an eye on my daughter for a
minute? I need to take my son to the restroom to clean him up so he won‘t catch a cold.”
“Sure,” the waitress nodded. “No problem, Madam.”
The waitress was watching Emma in the room when someone called out for her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe hesitated for a while, but she quickly thought of the safe and perfectly guarded restaurant and how quiet and
well–behaved the little girl usually was.
“I need to take a customer‘s order,” she told Emma, “so just stay here and wait for your mommy, okay?”
Emma nodded and stayed in her seat, quietly waiting for her mommy like a good girl.
Seeing this, the waitress turned and left.
Meanwhile, downstairs, the meal proceeded under a strained atmosphere.
It wasn‘t long before Weston put down the fork and knife in his hands and got up to leave.
“Mr. Ford,” Daisy sprung up on her feet. “Full already?”
He had barely touched the food.
“Yeah,” Weston responded tersely and strode away.
But he only took one step before feeling something hitting his leg.
Slam!
A little girl with a cute round face had bumped into him and fell butt–first onto the floor. Her eyes reddened. She
looked as if she was about to burst into tears.
WAAA!!! WAAA!!!
