Chapter 1483

The place was empty, and no one was there.

Although that was the case, Stella did not believe that it was just her imagination. The feeling of beingwatched was simply too intense and impossible to ignore.

‘Could it be paparazzi?’ she wondered to herself.

The Palace had finished airing for some time now, and the show’s popularity had cooled down too.Although the role gained her some fame, she was not particularly a hot shot that would make paparazzifollow her.

Just as she was thinking about that, Keegan’s car pulled up in front of her. “Get in.”

Stella snapped out of her thoughts and got into the car. In the car, Stella kept looking out of the windowuntil the car finally drove out of the parking lot. Then, Keegan asked,” What were you looking at?”

Stella averted her gaze. “I feel like someone was watching me when I was waiting for you just now, butI couldn’t see anyone around.”

Keegan paused. “I’ll have Aldor check the surveillance footage later.”

Stella was a little surprised. “I thought you would say that I was just overthinking.”

Keegan turned the steering wheel, as he said, “I certainly hope so.”

Overthinking would be a lot better than someone actually following them.

It was not easy for someone to enter the building of Vinci Rivera, but… even Keegan himself could notbe too certain that the office was entirely safe. So, it would be better for them to be more cautious.

Keegan drove the car into a garden-like place.

Stella thought that Keegan was taking the opportunity to bring her to meet some friends. But it turnedout that it was actually a private restaurant when they went inside.

The place was quiet and secluded. However, the menu was outstanding.

During the meal, Keegan asked, “Have you officially changed your name?”

Stella nodded. “Yeah, I’m going to have my mother’s last name. We’re just waiting for the right time topublicly announce it now.”

Keegan paused before he said, “Is Uncle Wenham okay with it?”

Stella said, “Dad was the one who suggested it. He said it was an agreement she made with Mom along time ago.”

Wenham loved her so much, yet he was fine with her having his wife’s last name. That made Stella feelthat Wenham

must have loved her mother very much. Otherwise, he would not have honored this promise that noone knew about even after so many years.

He could just be selfish and make Stella have his own last name since nobody would have knownanyway.

Keegan recalled some shattered memories from his childhood, and he could remember that Wenhamand Freesia were indeed the most loving couple among his parents’ friends.

His own father was obsessed with work while his mother indulged herself in materialistic pursuits.Although Marshall’s parents would always be very respectful toward each other, they seemed to lackthe intimacy of a married couple. As for Carter’s parents, they had an open relationship. Vermont’sparents were perhaps the closest, but they were more like partners who shared a common goal.

Only Trevor’s parents were different.

Keegan remembered a time when their kindergarten organized a picnic to improve the relationshipbetween the parents and children.

Cordelia knew about it and forced his parents to participate with him.

It suddenly rained midway through the picnic. Afraid of her bag getting wet, Dahlia ran off to findshelter, leaving him and his father behind.

His father hurriedly packed their things and picked him up before finding a place to hide from the rain.

He turned around to Trevor and saw something that he would never forget.

Freesia held Trevor up while Wenham shielded them both with his coat. The rainwater flowed abovethe coat and down Wenham’s back. Then, Freesia extended her arm and lifted the coat behindWenham to prevent him from getting soaked.

He remembered this scene for many years, and he envied them very much. It was to the point wherehe wished that he could be a part of their family. He had no idea why he felt that way. However, nowthat he had gone through a marriage, he only realized that he envied the love and care they showedeach other. He envied having a normal family relationship.

Now, he was indeed going to be a part of that family. It made him wonder if, in a way, his childhoodwish had finally come true.novelbin
