You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Chapter 471 Loveless

The Stewart family only heard about Burnham and Stella from someone else.

Before they asked Burnham about it, they had already done a thorough investigation on Stella.

They had found out everything about her and Damian, including why Clarissa had been so against Stella dating Damian in the first place.

When Burnham reached home, his family remained silent and tossed the sheaf of documents at him.

“This is impossible!” he cried out, refusing to believe the information on the documents.

Stella slept with old men for money and was even violated by her stepfather once. She had also suffered a miscarriage before.

His dad remained silent and let his wife do all the talking.

She turned toward her son with a gleam in her intelligent eyes.

“I’m not as indirect as Mrs. Tyson. I’m much too afraid of letting you get hurt. That’s why I’ll be as straightforward as possible, and it’s also why we want you to know the truth. You know how accurate our investigations always are.”

“This is impossible, Mom. Stella isn’t like that.”

She just scoffed coldly, choosing not to answer to her son’s ignorance.

Instead, she asked a different question.

“What kind of person do you think your Aunt Clarissa is?”

“She’s gentle and kind-”

“Apart from those. Do you think she has the same upbringing as we did?”

“No, but Stella-”

Before he could speak, she cut him off again.

“Mrs. Tyson only bloomed in her later years, so of course, she wouldn’t have the same upbringing we did. But even someone like her was against Damian and Stella dating. Do you think it’s purely because she hated Stella’s family? You may not know this, but Mrs. Tyson herself didn’t come from a good family. So that wasn’t the reason at all.”

“But-”

“You don’t have to argue with me. You’re my son, and I know both your strengths and your weaknesses. You’re too gullible and I know Stella must have told you plenty of nice things, but these facts are in black and white. I know you won’t suspect us of anything otherwise.”

Burnham was truly stunned speechless, and his mother finished her talk with a last warning.

“I don’t care if you’re just playing around with her, but don’t bring her home. Don’t even think about marrying someone like her. Your father and I will not touch upon this anymore, but I trust that you understand well enough.”

Burnham remained quiet.

His mother smiled. “Oh, a friendly reminder. You should protect yourself well, especially as a doctor. Who knows what kind of men she’s been sleeping around with.”

After that, she turned around and walked upstairs.

Burnham stayed in the living room, staring blankly at the documents in front of him as he fell into a dilemma.

Wrenna and Damian visited the Tyson residence for dinner and heard Ellie saying something to Clarissa the moment they walked in. While their conversation was mostly unreadable, they did hear the name ‘Stella’.

Ellie immediately changed the topic once she caught sight of the couple.

Wrenna, however, didn’t think too much of it.

She sat down and smiled. “Were you two talking about Stella? It’s alright, I know she’s dating Burnham now.”
