Chapter 61 - Dinner (2) (1/2)

”Stella? How are you related to Rosaline?”

”How do you know her?” Stella replied with a question of her own, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

”You haven't answered my question kid. How are you related to her?” Liam repeated his question.

”What's going on?” Adam asked looking at the other two people. ”Who's Rosaline?” Adam asked looking at Stella.

”She… She was my mother.” Stella replied meekly, her eyes still fixed on Liam. ”How do you know her name?” Stella asked Liam once again.

”You resemble her a lot. She used to look just like you when we were in college.” Liam replied with a fond smile on his face.

”You knew Stella's Mom?” Adam asked him with a baffled expression.

”Not just her mother, I also knew her father back in the day.” Liam replied with a faint smile on his face as his mind drifted back to his college days.

”What!” Stella exclaimed. ”You knew both of my parents?” She asked him with her eyes widened in shock.

”Yeah! They were one of the on-campus famous couples. Moreover, we were good friends. Your parents and me and Martha, my wife, always used to hang out together.” He replied.

”Woah! So you guys were like really close friends.” Adam interrupted him.

”Yeah! We were like a gang, always hanging out together.” Liam replied fondly. ”Oh, and guess who else was with us?” He asked looking intently at Adam.

Adam narrowed his eyes at him. ”No way.” He shook his head sideways with his mouth agape.

Liam nodded slightly as if agreeing with his thoughts.

”So, the other couple that you use to tell me about were Stella's parents?” Adam asked him to which he nodded again.

”Umm.. Am I missing something here?” Stella spoke up, not following where the story was going.

”There were two more people in our gang Stella. They were a couple as well. They were Adam's parents.” Liam explained it to her. ”All six of us were like inseparable since the first year of our college. We were like the power couples of the campus.”

”You mean my parents knew Adam's parents.” She questioned him which was more like a statement, only to get a nod from him in response.

”The world sure is a small place.” She said looking at Adam.
