Chapter 183 - And I Love You The Most (2/2)

”I sprained my ankle last night. But this happened here, at home. Those people don't have anything to do with it.” She explained it to them as her eyes lingered over Scott who was sitting there quietly, looking down at his plate as he continued to eat.

Adam settled her down on a chair next to his. ”Why did you come down here on your own? You could have called me?” Adam reprimanded her.

”I am hungry, can I have some food first? I will have your scolding after that.” She added before turning her attention towards their guests. ”Adam must have informed you guys that I am fine, you guys didn't have to do this.”

Adam just shook his head as she continued to converse with others and took out his phone. His fingers moved over the on screen keyboard fluently and typed a text before sending to the old butler.

”What happened to him?” Stella asked, pointing towards Scott, who hadn't looked up at her for even once.

”Can't you tell? He's angry at you.” Katherine replied to her as she patted Scott's shoulder. ”He was damn worried about you when we heard about what had happened back at the mall, didn't even sleep a wink last night and came here first thing in the morning.” She continued as she looked from Stella to Scott and then back to Stella.

Guilt began to rise in her as she looked at the people sitting on the table. She was the reason that they had ruined their weekend for her. She was the reason their were sitting there. Even though she knew them because of Adam, except for Scott, they had treated her like their own family all this time. ”I am so sorry for troubling you guys.” She muttered a sincere apology. ”And thank you so much for always treating me like your family.” She thanked them as her eyes began to tear up.

”What are you thanking us for?” Blake frowned at her sudden emotional outburst.

”Exactly, girl. You are our family.” Lillian added with a genuine smile, shocking everyone. It was the first time they were seeing her smile like this. Of course, except for Blake.

”Why are you getting so emotional, woman?” Katherine added with a confused expression. ”You don't need to thank us for anything, ever. And I am speaking for him as well.” She added the latter part pointing a finger towards Scott.

Their replies made Stella smile wider. She knew that Scott was just angry with her and would be in a while. So, she wasn't worried about him. ”Ahh! I love you guys so much.” She exclaimed in joy. But before she could hear a reply from them, she heard someone clearing his throat. She moved her eyes to look at the man who was sitting next to her with a grumpy expression as he stared at her with his narrowed eyes.

”And I love you the most.” She added with a bright smile, showing off her pearly white teeth as she hugged him from the side.
