Chapter 161 - You Havent Told Her Yet (1/2)

”Young Master?” The old butler mumbled when he saw Adam's car being pulled before the front porch. He was about to call him when a servant came and informed him about his arrival.

Adam stepped out of the car and made his way around the car and opened the passenger seat door. Before Stella's feet could touch the ground, Adam stopped her and picked her up. Even when she tried to resist, he didn't listen to her.

As he was carrying her inside, the old butler greeted the duo before showing his concerns about Stella.

”Is the Young Miss alright?” The old butler asked. His forehead was creased, showing three deep horizontal lines. At some point, he had started to refer her as the Young Miss of this house, even though she was against it.

”I am completely fine Uncle Rob. You don't need to worry about me. Adam is over reacting, just like always.” Stella replied to him, giving him a bright smile.

The old butler heaved out a sigh of relief before he came to the main topic. ”I was about to call you, Young Master. There's a lady who is currently waiting for you. She said she has something important to talk about to both of you.”

”Did she tell you her name?” Adam asked him.

”Cecilia Aldrich.” The old butler replied.

”What is she doing here? I don't even know her.” Adam frowned as he looked at Stella, who shrugged her shoulders.

”Don't you know her?” Stella asked him as he began to walk towards the stairs.

”I know about her and her family. don't know her in person.” Adam replied. ”I will take you to the room first. You should have some rest.”

”But Uncle Rob said she wanted to talk to both of us. And I have had ample of rest in the hospital.” Stella argued with him. ”Either you carry me to the living room yourself, or put me down this instance.” She glared at him.

Adam looked at the little kitten in his arms who was trying to act all fierce and sighed. He could never win against her.

”Don't move, or you will fall. I will take you there.” He replied to her as he changed the direction he was walking in.

”To what do we owe the pleasure of your company?” Adam spoke up as he walked in with Stella. He had one of his hands shoved inside his pants' pocket, while the other one rested on Stella's lower back. She had forced him to put her down before entering the room. And like always, he gave into her demands.

”Are you alright, my child?” The lady who was clad in a black shirt and wide-legged trousers asked as she stood up from the couch. Her eyes were fixated at Stella with concern written all over her face.

”Umm…. Do I know you?” Stella was utterly confused as to why this lady, who she had no links to and whom she had never met before in her entire life, would show concern for her.

”Unfortunately, you don't.” Cecilia sighed with a pained expression on her face.

”Have a seat, please.” Adam asked her politely, to which she complied and sat on the single sofa chair. After Cecilia had settled down, Adam guided Stella to sit on the couch across her before he sat down next to her. All this while, he didn't move his hand that was resting on Stella's lower back. Somehow, he was having a bad hunch about this meeting.
