Chapter 718 - Being watched (2) (1/2)

~ Seattle, Hill family villa ~

Few minutes earlier…

Stella smiled as she watched Sarah and Aiden fight next to each other.

”It's different now that Aiden joined.” Even Edward can clearly see that those three people are being easily suppressed.

”Our baby girl is different with Aiden.”, Stella softly said and paused before continuing: ”I thought that she does not know how to fight skillful enemies, but now I see that she was only holding back while waiting for him.”

”You think she did that on purpose?”

”Maybe it was on purpose...” Stella guessed. ”…and maybe he has the ability to unlock her full potential. Look how well two of them move together. Because of Aiden, Sarah is shining brighter than ever. I can clearly see that as soon as he showed up, Sarah increased her speed and accuracy drastically. She is so special…”

Edward smiled faintly while looking at the screen. ”Yes, she is our special baby girl…” He sighed. ”And two of them are a good match.”

Stella threw a side-glance at Edward and smiled. She didn't want to make a big deal of the fact that Edward, for the first time ever, acknowledged someone to be a good match for one of his daughters.

Stella's smile faded when she saw Sarah and Aiden holding hands. ”What are they thinking?”

Edward pulled Stella to sit in his lap. ”Let's see. Based on what we saw so far, it seems that this show is approaching the grand finale.”

Stella laughed. ”Grand finale?”

Edward nodded. ”I'm not sure if I'm more impressed by watching our baby girl and Aiden or by the fact that Jarred Smith and his nephew are in the audience as well.”

”Who?” Stella does not know who Jarred and his nephew are, but she can tell that Edward sees them as someone important.

Edward pointed at the screen. ”Those two. Smiths. They made a name for themselves by handling big contracts with the military. I will show you the details later.”

Stella leaned closer to the screen to get a better view of two men who are observing the fight. ”Military? How are they related to Sarah and Aiden?”

Edward slightly shook his head indicating that he does not know. ”Smith's bodyguards got inside LA Medical Center with Sarah and Aiden, provided support to Sophia and Felix, and they started a fight with those three before our kids took over.”

Stella could not suppress her smile. ”Our kids?”, she had to ask.

First Edward said that Aiden is a good match for Sarah, and now he clubbed two of them as 'our kids'! It seems that today is full of surprises. Good ones (mostly).

Edward awkwardly cleared his throat. ”Let's just say that the young man… impressed me.”

Stella inhaled more than necessary. ”I have only one wish.”

”What?” Edward reluctantly asked.

”That you say that to Sarah. It will mean the world to her… to know that you approve of Aiden.”

Edward frowned slightly. ”I will think about it… Look, look, it's starting.”, he gestured toward the screen.

”Oh, I hope you are recording this!” Stella exclaimed.
