She swore–if her pores ever got clogged, she was absolutely billing those two for emotional damages.

After all these years…

They’d been side by side forever, yet the second they started dating, they couldn’t go a minute without acting like newlyweds.

Abraham coaxed Stella for a few more minutes before finally hanging up.

Marie rolled her eyes at him. “Didn’t expect you to be this good at dating. We used to worry you’d scare Stella off.”

To be fair, Abraham’s feelings for Stella had never been a secret–everyone in both the Dawson and Luke families had known for a long time.

That was why the elders from both families had always treated Stella so well.

Family was family. And if she was going to be family, of course they’d treat her like one of their own.

It was just that Abraham had always carried himself so seriously. Sure, he was good to Stella–but too

serious.

So serious that it felt more like an elder scolding a child. Great for a dad, maybe, but definitely stressful for a boyfriend.

But looking at him now? All that worry had been for nothing.

The way he’d spoiled Stella over the phone just now–it was more than fine.

Come to think of it, he’d always been gentle with her. Even when he looked stern, the moment Stella pouted, there was always a smile behind his eyes.

Abraham shot Marie a sharp look.

That wiped the teasing grin right off her face. “Why are you giving me that look?”

Fine. So serious could mean different things.

Like now–when he looked at her seriously, it was totally different from how he looked at Stella.

Total favoritism.

Abraham smoothed out the sleeve of his jacket. “Stay away from Dan.”

“I know.”

Marie nodded.

That man was practically already married to someone else. What would be the point of staying in touch?

Even if Dan was going to be in Falvaria for a long time and they were bound to run into each other, Marie had made up her mind–she wasn’t going to stoop that low again.

Abraham gave her a side glance. “You did that to him?”

He’d seen it. Dan’s forehead and chest were still wrapped in thick bandages.

For Marie to land him in the hospital like that, she must’ve hit hard.

And the soup stains on his chest?

Clearly Marie had dished out some extra punishment after arriving at the hospital.

Dan used to be the only man Marie ever treated gently. That tenderness? Long gone.

Marie nodded. “Yeah, I just didn’t expect his skills to be so lousy. Maybe I hit too hard.”

Five years ago, Dan had been strong. Marie knew that.

But this time? She took him down without even trying.

In her eyes, even Dan’s sidekick Cynn fought better than him now.

Abraham’s lips curved into a rare, satisfied smile.

Back at the Luke family estate.

Stella was staring at an entire collection of heirloom jewelry. She didn’t really feel anything about it, but she still put on her best enthusiastic face.

“Wow, you really have so many beautiful things!”

and Marie.”

Madam Lyla beamed. “Of course. I’ve been collecting these for years, all for you and

Stella glanced down.

There were emeralds, gemstones, sparkling jewelry of all kinds.

“Wait, this necklace–it’s so pretty. Did Abraham buy it for you?”

Madam Lyla had just noticed the necklace around Stella’s neck and admired its unique

Stella touched it gently. “Marie made it for me. Cute, right?”

Madam Lyla nodded. “Very. What’s it made of?”

“She said the stone was stolen–kidding. Probably just something she bought.”

Knowing Marie, if she said it was stolen, it probably meant someone tried to scam her.

And anyone who dared try that? Never ended well.

Madam Lyla raised a brow. “She can do that too?”

She’d known Marie could make clothes, but jewelry too?
