Jaylene looked at the cheap canvas bag and compared it with her designer bag that had not even been used. It was a struggleto maintain her smile.’ How could she bring herself to swap my high-end bag for this poor offering? ' she thought.
"Stella, you're so thoughtful," Wenham praised.
Suppressing the sourness in her heart, Jaylene opened the bag and could not help but sigh. Sure enough, as she suspected,Stella had given her only cheap, low-quality items.
Stella smiled, as she said, "You can have a good look at them, Jaylene. If you don't like them, | can exchange more stuff for you.
Jaylene looked at the insincere look on her face and forced a smile. "Since you personally chose them, | bet they must be thebest in your eyes. Our tastes are so similar. If you like them, I'm sure | will too.”
Stella paused. She looked at her and smirked. "That's good to hear."
With their daughter officially moving back home, Wenham was overjoyed. He busied himself in the room, as he feared that hisdaughter might feel uncomfortable. After everything was set up, he spent quite a while chatting with Stella. It was mostly abouther childhood. Stella shared her stories with him, and over an hour had passed before they knew it.
Darcie, who had been quiet the whole time, reminded them, "Wenhan,, it's getting late. Let's go back to our room. It's Stella's firstday here, so she might need some time to get used to the room by herself.”
Wenham nodded reluctantly and turned to Stella. "Stella, get some rest. My room is upstairs from yours. If you need anything,just call me."
“Alright. Good night, dad.”Jaylene bid her farewell, as Wenham and Darcie left the room.
Trevor sat on the bed and opened the drawer of the bedside table. He took out a photo album and handed it to Stella. "Open itand take a look," he said.
Stella hesitated. She grabbed it and opened the first page, revealing a wedding photo.
The man stood tall and handsome in the picture with a hearty smile. The woman had solid features and a hint of determination inher eyes. She looked like Stella, except for the mole on her nose.
She gently brushed her fingers across the people in the photo and murmured, "So, you questioned my identity when you firstsaw me?"
With such striking similarities between the two and Stella's age being close to the deceased Saun family daughter, Trevor wasdetermined to verify it no matter how improbable it sounded.
Trevor nodded. "When you and Keegan got married, we were all abroad. Jaylene wasn't feeling well at the time, so we couldn'tmake it to Keegan's wedding. | would have brought you back years earlier if | had seen you, then."
Sometimes, things in this world just seem to happen by chance.When Keegan got married, Trevor had already booked his flight. But suddenly, Jaylene caught the flu, which quickly turned intopneumonia.
Since it was an epidemic, everyone in the family except Trevor fell ill. He had no choice but to cancel his flight and stay to takecare of everyone.
At the time, several people in the group did not make it to Keegan's wedding. They were all urging him to send a photo, butKeegan did not.
They all knew that Keegan did not like to take pictures, so he might not even have taken any wedding photos.‘Who's the unfortunate girl that got stuck with this guy?’ thought Trevor back then. He did not imagine that it would be his sister.
Stella continued to turn the album pages. The first few were pictures of her parents at work and at home. There were also photosof them with their other relatives. Stella turned a couple more pages and came across an image of a baby lying in a wickerbasket. The picture seemed to be taken when the baby was a month old.novelbin
