The more he thought about it, the more guilt gnawed at him. He looked at Stella with sorrow and regret

Steila, it’s my fault Lowe you an apology

Srella, not fully understanding his thoughts, gently reassured him “Sebastian, Fm fine. It’s all in the past now?

“Yeah. Sebastian murmured tiredly, nodding. “It’s all behind us. Let’s eat

This time, there was no fake laughter around the table. The usual light–hearted atmosphere was gone, replaced by a heavy, uncomfortable silence.

After dinner, Sebastian stood up and knocked his cane against Ernest’s leg. “Come with me.”

Ernest stood up and followed him.

Irene was about to follow, but Stella gently stopped her. “They probably need to talk. Don’t go causing trouble.

But Ernest, cold as ever, crushed the last bit of hope Sebastian had left with his next words. “So, what now? Going to use those shares to pressure me again?”

And even if Sebastian tried to go after him, the shareholders of the Lloyd Group would never allow it.

Sebastian, realizing all of this, sighed deeply. The anger left his face, replaced by exhaustion. “I’m too tired to keep meddling. Do whatever you want.

“Listen, I’ll say this one more time–Stella’s someone worth cherishing. Don’t wait till you regret it to realize what she means to you.”

“Yeah,” Ernest said, barely even caring.

Sebastian didn’t press further. After a short pause, he added, “The shares I hold are for Stella. If it comes to that, I hope you don’t make things difficult for her.

“After everything she’s done for this family–taking care of you all without a single complaint–she’s more than earned it.”

“I know,” Ernest said coolly.

Sebastian nodded, not saying anything else. He slowly walked out, leaning heavily on his cane, his steps shaky and unsteady.

Ernest watched him go, a flicker of complicated emotion flashing in his eyes before it vanished just as quickly.

“Stella, if you get the chance, come by more often or at least give me a call sometimes. I’m getting old, and it’s harder for me to get out. I might not be able to come visit you again,” Sebastian said.

Outside the villa, he patted Stella’s hand softly, reluctant to let go.

Life was all about hope. When a person lost it, they began to crumble within and without. Sebastian was fine that day, but there was no telling about the future.

Hearing the weariness in his voice made Stella’s chest tighten. She held back her emotions and smiled at him. “Sebastian, I know. I’ll call you more often.”

“Good, good. That’s what I’m counting on,” Sebastian replied, his smile genuine. He looked truly happy. If he weren’t so unsteady, he might have stayed longer to talk with Stella.

Stella helped him into the car, but he waved her off. “Alright, I should get going now. You take care and head home early, okay?”
