Stella did not want her situation to affect everyone’s mood, so she hurriedly invited them inside, “It’s cold outside, come in and
have a seat.”
She was about to show them into the villa when the door of the Lincoln slowly opened and a man nearly 6. 2 feet tall stepped out of the car.
Stella thought that after Alpha dropped off the two, he would leave directly. Unexpectedly he got out of the car, walked
up to her and ordered in a cold voice, “Stella, do a physical examination on her first.”
Stella was stunned for a moment, then looked at the intact Taya, “Are you okay? Not feeling well?”
Without waiting for Taya to blush, Harper next to her immediately spoke up, “Isn’t she having a hard time getting.
pregnant, so please help.”
Only then did Stella snapped back to attention then and hurriedly led the three of them to the living room, inviting them to sit on the sofa before turning to get the pulse-diagnosing pillow.
After asking Taya to stretch out her hand, Stella raised her finger and rested it on the pulse on Taya’s wrist, lowered her head and concentrated on taking the pulse.
At that moment, the pantry door opened, and gentle-looking Henry came out neatly in a gray suit with a cup of coffee.
When they saw Henry in Stella’s house, Taya and Harper looked at each other with a shocked expression in their eyes.
In contrast to their surprise, Henry was very calm. He placed the brewed coffee on the table and looked up at them.
“Enjoy your coffee…”
He said this as if he were entertaining his guests. He was polite and courteous, but also a sense of being the host. Could it be that something had happened between Stella and him?
Stella did not explain much and simply lifted her head to respectfully say to Griffon, “Alpha, Taya’s fertility problems have not changed much from what they were before. However, there has been some improvement with the medication I have prescribed. I recommend continuing the medication for a longer period of time.”
The previous dosing period was so short that it was normal for the effects not to appear immediately. Moreover, it had been over six months since she stopped taking the medication, so how could she be pregnant?
However, Stella believed that Taya still had a good chance of conceiving a pup as long as her medication was adjusted in a timely manner according to changes in Taya’s health.
Stella’s words gave Griffon a glimmer of hope and also rea*sured Taya, “So how long do I need to take the medicine?”
Stella put away the pulse-diagnosing pillow, looked at Taya, and smiled knowingly, “Try once a month, if you don’t get pregnant, take another month, try again, repeat the process and you’ll see how long it takes…”
Taya blushed, and she felt so embarra*sed that she wished she could just disappear.
But Griffon sitting next to her replied calmly, “Well, I will try my
best.”
Harper couldn’t help but burst out laughing so loudly that even Stella and Henry laughed along with her.
Taya felt very embarra*sed in front of her best friends, and she wondered if she would have the chance to catch them in their
foolish behavior in the future?
After Griffon got the answer, he left all the bodyguards at the villa and instructed them to protect Taya, then he got up and went to the pack.
As soon as he left, the temperature in the living room picked up little by little, and they casually lounged on the sofa, hugging their pillows and gabbing.
Harper had been visiting Stella regularly for the past six months and had told Stella about Taya’s disappearance.
They all knew what their friends had gone through, so they did not talk too much about it, just about weddings and such.
After being teased by Stella and Harper many times, Taya looked up at Henry who was busy in the kitchen and asked, “What’s going on with you and him?”
Stella took a sip from her cup of coffee, looked at the man in the open kitchen and smiled faintly, “He proposed to me.”
Taya and Harper’s eyes widened at the same time, “He proposed to you?”
Harper, who was more shocked than Taya, asked another question, “When did this happen, why didn’t I know?”
Stella put down her European coffee cup, rested her elbows on the pillow and said softly, “Just a few days ago he got down on his knee in the snow and asked me to mate him. I had wanted to surprise you, so I didn’t tell you…”
Does Stella now mean that she has agreed to his proposal of mating?
Both Taya and Harper couldn’t believe it, but they did not know what to say, they just stared at Stella in disbelief.
Stella leaned back on the sofa and looked at the surprised expressions on their faces, “Are you wondering why I agreed?”
They nodded, and Stella stretched out her white fingers, pulled back the curtains, looked out at the snowy landscape, and
whispered, “For the past six months, Henry has been looking after me with such care that I feel… I am loved.”
In the past, she always thought she was born to be hated by others, and she had never thought she was loved by someone
Facing out the window, Stella stood in the translucent white light of the snow and said faintly, “Henry had asked me why I agreed to his proposal and I said, I also want to know what it feels like to be loved…”
Stella’s words made Taya’s heart twitch hard, as if she could empathize with her, and felt distressed for her.
Harper, next to her, asked Stella very rationally and calmly, “Stella, do you love Henry?”
Stella was very frank and serious in her reply, “We have a long future ahead of us, maybe I’ll fall in love with him at some point…”
She couldn’t guarantee that she would fall in love with Henry, but she would do her best to let go of the past and have a good life with him.
As for loving him or not, that did not seem to matter…
For her, loving someone meant being willing to go through fire and water for them.
If she did not love him, she would not mind his actions too much and therefore wouldn’t hurt herself.
Now, Stella had also figured it out. The constant love-hate
entanglement would only torment her, so it was best to let go and start afresh.
And… Her revenge plan against Eric had worked, hadn’t it?
At the time she jumped down the stairs, Eric was so frightened that he was trembling all over, his face was so pale and bloodless that he did not even have the courage to stand up and look at
her.
Eric would never have let Andre take her away if it wasn’t for his fear of losing her.
For Eric had said that if Stella was to die they would die together, and she must always be with him.
But this time, when he saw her lying in a pool of blood, he finally chose to let go.
Stella also knew that Eric loved her as much as she had loved
him, but falling in love was the beginning of suffering.
Stella’s goal had been achieved, so she did not care what kind of torture Eric would encounter in the future, she just wanted to start her life over.
Henry, in the open kitchen, heard Stella say that she would fall in love with him in the future, he slowly lifted the corners of his lips into a calm smile.
He did not ask Stella to fall in love with him now, as long as she wanted to start a new life again then he would do his best to love
and care for her.
Harper understood what Stella meant, and nodded towards her, “If you’ve made your decision, then I wish you and Henry a long and happy future together.”
Stella raised a broad smile and said thank you before she turned her head to Taya, “What about you, do you approve of me and Henry getting mated?”
Taya naturally had no objection, but…
She asked with some concern, “You and Henry are getting mated, Eric won’t come to stop you, right?”
Eric was as much of a complete lunatic as Amon. If Stella and Yarnell got mated, Taya worried that it would irritate him even
more.
Stella fearlessly replied, “I don’t want a mating ceremony, I’ll go straight to the mating certificate, and after that, Eric will stop naturally.”
Even if he were powerful, Eric would have no reason to pester her after her mating, not to mention that the Sinclair pack would never let him come to Arcadia again.
Taya heard this and said nothing more, she only hoped that Eric would leave Stella alone and let Stella have a good life for herself.
Harper was not worried about Eric, with Griffon’ men
protecting Stella, there was nothing Eric could do, it was Brown’s pack she was worried about.
Henry was younger than Stella, and he was also innocent and handsome, with a gentle manner and elegant temperament. He knew how to respect and care for women and was born in a scholarly pack. Such a man was the pride of his parents.
Harper was worried that if Stella mated him, Henry’s parents would object because Stella could not have pups.
Both Taya and Harper had their own concerns, which were explained to them once and for all by Henry at dinner, with the solemn promise that:
“Ms. Palmer, Ms. Duke, I’ve already spoken to my parents, and they both agree to our mating, no worries.”
“As for Eric, I’ll not fear his power or his means. I’ll protect Stella well and never let anyone harm her.”
Taya and Harper looked at each other and nodded their heads in
agreement.
As friends of Stella’s, they wouldn’t interfere much as long as her boyfriend was good to her.
They put away their worries, picked up their folks and savored the meal cooked by Henry.
As the four of them sat around the table talking and laughing, the camera hidden in the corner slowly turned.
Eric, who was locked up in a room far away in the Imperial City and unable to move freely, saw the scene on the surveillance
camera.
His expression was so grim that he wished he could tear apart the man who kept bringing food into Stella’s plate.
Stella, are you going to mate him?
Well, wait for me. I’ll definitely give you a mating present.
