Chapter 270: Chapter 270 I am not the same Stella you used to bully

Stella knew that in the face of RK, she mustn’t take his words seriously, but at the mention of the child’s custody, she couldn’t help the urge to rebuke his words.

"Stella, I am Adrian’s father. Don’t I have the right to raise him and protect him?"

"Is what you are doing protection? I know you want to fight over the right to Adrian’s custody, but can’t you wait a little longer? Can’t you continue the fight after Adrian accepts all this? Do you think that this is for Adrian’s sake? If things go on as it, I will not be the only one, but he will hate you as well."

"That’s impossible! Adrian won’t hate me. I am his father!"

Hearing the word "father" from RK, Stella couldn’t help sneering.

"Do you think that if I tell Adrian about how his father divorced his mother for an irrelevant woman when his mother was pregnant with him, not to mention compelling her into getting rid of the child, how could you be so sure that he won’t hate you? Wouldn’t he hate you to the core where he might decide to cut off all ties with you? By then, you won’t even have the right to be considered a stranger."

"You won’t!" RK’s face was full of certainty. "It’s because you care about Adrian. You won’t sadden him. If you brief him about the past, not only will you feel sorrowful, but he will feel the same. You won’t willing to do so!"

Indeed, Stella couldn’t bear to tell Adrian about it, nor could she bear him to learn about the fact, RK, his father, had insisted on not keeping the child. Above all, she knew that Adrian was a child, who could not bear such a huge blow.

"RK, I see you have gotten a grip of me. Let me tell you something. Don’t think that I am still the same Stella you used to bully and hurt at your will. Right now, since I am willing to return to X city, I have never had the thought of allowing you to hurt me again. Right now, you will never be able to harm me again." They were the ones who had given her all the suffering and tears she had experienced in France. She couldn’t forgive them, nor would she ever do so.

To be honest, she had never thought of allowing Adrian to identify with her paternal family. Since Adrian shared the same surname as her, she had never intended for him to return to the Kingston family. Even if RK was there to compete for custody with her, she wouldn’t back down.

So what if he fought head-on, had she ever been afraid or backed down? She has been with Adrian for years and had built a strong bond with him. She had a stable income and no bad habits. With how RK had Alia by his side, she believed that Adrian’s custody would end up in her hands nonetheless.

Adrian would be with her forever.

"Well, Stella, I don’t want to bicker with you. I called you to hear just to have a meal with you." RK interrupted her in helplessness. Deep down he understood that it was meaningless to squabble with Stella over such a trivial issue, so he sat at the table and ate in silence.

"Why did you get me to come over for a meal?" After some time, Stella mustered the courage to ask.

"Nothing. I was suddenly reminded of the fact that ever since you returned to X city, I haven’t had the chance to treat you to a proper meal. Now it’s time to make up for it!"

"Thank you then."

"There is no need for that. Taking good care of Adrian is your greatest gratitude to me."

"Ah? Have you changed your mind about competing for Adrian’s custody?" Stella exclaimed in excitement.

"Nothing. Before I obtain the right to his custody, you took good care of Adrian for me. I owe him a lot. I am not a competent father." RK announced with a look of annoyance on his face.

"Adrian has never chided you, which means that he doesn’t hate you in his heart. If you make it up to him, he will forgive you!"

"What’s wrong? Aren’t you afraid that I will compete with Adrian’s custody?" RK shot a look at Stella with a smile.

"It’s one thing to be afraid, but it’s another thing for you two to make up. After all, you are Adrian’s father. That is an unalterable fact."

"When did you become so reasonable?"

"I have always been reasonable, all right?"

After work, RK drove Stella straight to the hospital. Alia was there as well, having fun with Adrian.

"Look at me, look at me, I am a highly skilled gunman."

"Wow, watch me transform!"

"Roar! Huh!"

"Hey! Demon, where do you think you are going?"

The two children have a good time in the ward. Fortunately, Adrian could not get out of bed yet, else, the hospital would have been torn apart.

"Darling, Bad Uncle, you are here!" Adrian greeted.

"Aunt Stella, Daddy, hello." Alia greeted politely.

"You are not allowed to call my dad ’Bad Uncle’." Alia corrected Adrian.

"Bad Uncle,’ ’Bad Uncle’, ’Bad Uncle’."

With every time Adrian called out, Stella was starting to feel that ’Bad Uncle’ was an affectionate nickname.

RK wasn’t bothered by the address, ’Bad Uncle’. With a chuckle, he let it slide.

Stella then took out the sumptuous dinner she had brought with RK and set it on the table for the four of them.

"Darling, don’t we look like a family of four?" Halfway through the meal, Adrian stopped. After giving it some thought, what he spoke was enough for Stella to vomit blood.

"Adrian don’t talk nonsense. We are from two different families. It is just that we are sitting at the same table for the time being." Stella wasted no time in correcting.
