Hearing Stella’s explanation, I finally heaved a sigh of relief, albeit secretly.

This chatterbox definitely couldn’t be let in on the real deal. She just couldn’t keep a

Serena was nestled cozily in his arms, occasionally gazing up at him with a lively smile. The sight was rather heartwarming, reminiscent of a father-daughter bond.

Stella’s eyes were darting around. Her biggest hobby had been gossiping. If something felt off, she just had to stick her nose in it.
