Chapter 1136: 011 Time flies, the promise of eighteen_2

Later, the three of them became close because of the elder’s influence.

Axel Hawkins was not repelled by her, which had once made Stella Carrington very happy. During that period, she was the envy of all the girls who yearned to be by Axel’s side, the man of their dreams.

Gradually, Stella’s admiration for Axel deepened, and this unique feeling made her increasingly proud. She even believed that Axel would eventually fall for her.

After all, Elena Duncan used to come back and meet with Axel during vacations, but as her studies intensified, she hadn’t returned to the country for several years.

However, despite her efforts, she still did not receive the expected return.

During meals, Stella Carrington did not like to talk, and Evelyn Willow also remained silent. After eating, Evelyn wiped her mouth and looked at Stella, "Did you invite me alone today because you don’t want me to attend your birthday party tomorrow?"

"That’s not it. Of course, you still have to come tomorrow. I just wanted to ask you for a favor. You and Axel have the closest relationship, don’t you?" Stella said softly to Evelyn.

Over the years, her personality had become more stable, and she was more capable of enduring things.

In the past, whenever she saw Daisy Willow, she was always confrontational, but now, she wouldn’t. Although she did not call her "mother," she could still respectfully call her Auntie.

Of course, all of this was superficial, just to make Simon Carrington happy. Violet Carrington, her mother, had told her not to be so stubborn, or else she would suffer in the future.

When she was a child, it was because of her stubbornness that Simon did not like her.

"Are you planning to confess to Axel again?" Evelyn almost guessed what she intended to do without needing her to explain in detail.

Indeed, over the years, he had always liked her, always thinking that Stella Carrington was a bit temperamental back then, but still a good person at heart, so he had always maintained hope for her.

Latter, it turned out that she wasn’t as bad as they had imagined, nor was she that difficult to get along with.

His fondness for her gradually grew, then evolved into liking.

But his affection for her was always silent, yet many people knew about it, his classmates could see right through it, and Axel knew as well.

But Evelyn knew that Axel refused Stella Carrington not because he liked her, but because the person he loved was Elena; Axel, treating him as a brother, had made this very clear to him.

Elena was the sister he cared about the most. If Stella Carrington and Elena had a conflict, he would naturally stand by Elena’s side, so how could he let Stella steal Axel away? Sometimes, he really didn’t know if Stella was genuinely naive or just pretending to be.

"Just tell me, do you really want to help me or not?" Stella’s eyes conveyed her emotions as she looked at Evelyn, knowing he liked her. But she wanted him to understand that true liking meant helping her achieve her goals.

"No help, let’s just go Dutch tonight." Evelyn pulled out his wallet, placed his share of the meal on the table, and prepared to leave.

He did not know how many times he had to say it before Stella Carrington would understand; to put it nicely, this woman was too persistent, but to be harsh, she was simply delusional.

"Evelyn, everyone says you like me, right? If you like me, why won’t you help me?" What frustrated Stella the most was that everyone could see that Evelyn was kind to her because he liked her. She was not a unfeeling animal, so she knew Evelyn liked her, but he had never actively confessed to her.

This person, she really didn’t know what to say about him. If Evelyn had taken the initiative to confess to her, then she would have let him help her pursue Axel right after his confession.

But frustratingly, this man had never confessed. He just silently waited by her side.

"You know I like you, and you still ask me to help you chase another man? Stella Carrington, do you have crap for brains, or what? I’m sorry, but you can mess around all you want. I’m not playing along." Evelyn had never been a gentleman, and he was always quite blunt, even in front of Stella Carrington.

But his heart was good; he liked Stella Carrington and hoped he could wake her up to face reality sooner.
