In the past, whenever Kaylyn felt a little unwell, Ethan and Joel would both become extremely
nervous.
Once, the four of them went to a park together.
She had no idea whether Kaylyn got sunstroke or suddenly fell ill again.
In short, Kaylyn inexplicably suddenly felt like fainting.
Ethan and Joel rushed towards Kaylyn together.
Ethan even pushed Stella to the ground in a moment of desperation.
But, no one noticed.
Ironically, when Ethan saw her bandaged hand afterward, he even asked her how she
Stella’s thoughts were interrupted by a feeble voice.

“Joel, I lost my balance. It had nothing to do with

mother.”
eyes,
Kaylyn shook her head at Joel, and tears fell from her looking pitiful.“It’s all my fault. My sickly body is just so useless…”
Joel pouted, saying, “But, I saw it with my own eyes that Mom pushed you down.”
He then turned his head to look at Stella with a serious expression.
“Mom, you have always taught me the importance of owning up to one’s mistakes. As an adult, Mom… you won’t go back on your words, will you?”
In terms of nursing Joel’s health, Stella had spared no effort.
But in his daily studies, Stella rarely bothered herself about him.
At the age of only five, Joel could speak three languages, with excellent eloquence.
At such a young age, he sometimes managed to leave adults speechless.
As per Ethan’s mother, Joel’s intelligence resembled Ethan’s when he was young.
But now, Joel, for the sake of the beautiful girl he liked, turned against Stella instead.
As an adult and Joel’s mother, Stella naturally had to lead by example.
How could she expect her child to do what she couldn’t do?
If she didn’t keep her word, how could she educate her child in the future? Stella looked at the two figures, father and son, surrounding Kaylyn. Suddenly, she felt that they were more of a family and she was an outsider.

She had no expectations for this father and son for a long time. However, seeing Joel’s attitude toward her, Stella inevitably felt the pain a little.
She looked down into Joel’s eyes. “You’re right. I did tell you to apologize if one makes a mistake…”

Stella paused for a moment and then said word by word, “I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I apologize?”
If it were before, Stella would have compromised for Joel.
But today, she did not.
Joel instinctively said, “I saw you push Kaylyn.”
Stella did not defend herself but instead smiled faintly.
“Who says that I did something wrong by pushing her?”
“Mom, you said that hitting someone is wrong…”
Stella explained coldly, “I also said, do not bully others, and vice versa. If someone keeps crossing the bottom line, you…do not hesitate to beat back.”
Although Joel was intelligent, he was just a five–year–old child. e was just a five–year–old child.
He didn’t expect Stella to say such words, and for a moment he was at a loss for words.
Just then, Brenden’s voice came from the side.
“Joel, you shouldn’t have spoken to your mother like that.”
Hearing that, Ethan and Joel turned their heads towards Brenden, as if they had just noticed his
presence.
Joel said blankly, “Brenden?”
Ethan’s brows furrowed, and he said, “Why are you
here
Brenden, as Stella’s friend since childhood, Ethan had seen him many times, and Stella often mentioned him in front of Ethan.
As far as he knew, Brenden had never had parents since childhood, and he had been living with his grandparents.
In junior high school, Brenden’s grandparents passed away one after the other, leaving only Brenden alone.
Occasionally, Stella’s mother discovered Brenden’s musical talent and took him as her student.
Back then, Brenden was solitary and melancholic, ignoring anyone.
It took Stella three years to finally be fully accepted by Brenden, who treated her as a friend. However, for some reason, since Brenden first met Ethan, he had a strong dislike for Ethan. “Since you can meet your ex–girlfriend, is there any problem for Ella to have a meal with me? grew up together since childhood.”
Brenden’s voice was calm, but what he said was concise and meaningful, carrying a strong sen of irony.

Furthermore, it tore apart the fig leaf that covered Ethan and Kaylyn without mercy.
Ethan’s eyes dimmed and his handsome face turned gloomy.
“Stella, go back with me.”
Stella indifferently refused, “No. Brenden and I haven’t finished our dinner yet.”

Ethan’s voice tinged with a hint of coldness.“Stella, I’ll say it one last time. Go back with me.”
Stella knew that Ethan was in a rage.
If she didn’t give in now, then… he would not easily end it up with cold violence.
He would do something to make her bow down.
Stella could never forget that stormy night.
She was drenched all over, sitting on her knees in a disheveled manner at his feet, tearfully pleading with him to give Joel back to her.
He looked down at her and asked, “Do you know you were wrong?”
Her tears fell to the ground like raindrops, and she could do nothing but agree to apologize for Kaylyn’s drowning.
He always seemed to have a way to deal with her.
With this in mind, Stella revealed a quiet smile and softly uttered a word through her red lips, “No.”
Ethan’s eyes turned cold, and his lips tightened.
“Stella, you better think about the consequences.”
“Mr. Dodson, whatever means you have, just bring them on.”
Her weakness was nothing but Joel.
And now, she no longer wanted Joel, so Ethan had nothing that could threaten her.
Stella turned to Brenden and said, “Brenden, the air here is not good. Let’s go somewhere else to have dinner.”
Brenden remained quiet for a few seconds and then nodded gently.“Okay.”
Stella didn’t glance at the three again. She picked up her purse on the table and was about to leave?
Just then, Joel’s stubborn voice came from behind her.
“Mom, are you not going to apologize to Kaylyn?”
Stella’s footsteps only paused for a few seconds, and then she left without looking back.
Ethan watched after Stella, his gaze turning cold and deep.
Joel also gazed after Stella, a hint of confusion appearing on his cute face.
He wondered, “Mom seems different from before.”
Kaylyn noticed the father’s and son’s gazes on Stella, and a deep chill flashed across her
eyes.
She suddenly let out a low exclamation, “Ouch!”

Ethan and Joel were instantly drawn to Kaylyn.
Kaylyn’s face was pale, and her body was trembling. She looked as if she was about to faint.
Ethan was worried, and he quickly lifted Kaylyn in his arms.
