Secret Wealthy Marriage
Chapter 1137 - 011 Time flies, the promise of eighteen_3

It was because Elena Duncan had always treated her as a sister that they both took care of her. Regardless of how much she disliked Elena Duncan and his cousin, but his cousin and Elena Duncan were genuinely good to Stella Carrington.

Once, he also despised Stella Carrington.

Until one time on the street, when he accidentally saw Stella Carrington giving the food from her bag to a stray dog, he changed his opinion of her, feeling that this girl also had a kind side.

However, Stella Carrington’s stubbornness regarding Axel was too much, so much so that it made him very angry.

"..." Stella Carrington had never imagined Evelyn Willow would be so out of line and just walk away like that.

The one whose brain must have been caught in a door was her own, liking someone yet being so rude to herself.

Stella Carrington, feeling stifled, called the waiter over to settle the bill and angrily took a taxi home alone.

The next day at Stella Carrington’s birthday party, it was not as lively as she had imagined, for Axel and Evelyn Willow both did not attend. She could understand why he didn’t come after yesterday’s unpleasantness with Evelyn Willow.

She didn’t want him to come either, but knowing Evelyn Willow, even if he was extremely angry, he wouldn’t gossip in front of Axel Hawkins, so why didn’t Axel come in the end?

Elena Duncan had to take a university exam, so she wouldn’t return to the country recently; surely it wasn’t because of Elena Duncan.

"Stella Carrington, didn’t you say that two handsome men would come? What time does this party start? It’s already late, why haven’t we seen the campus hunk and his entourage?" Stella Carrington’s classmate, also her arch-nemesis, was Laura Clark. She was prettier than Stella Carrington and had confessed to Axel Hawkins, but Axel Hawkins had always ignored her.

She had never understood why Axel Hawkins would bother with Stella Carrington and not her. How the hell was she inferior to Stella Carrington?

So, for Stella Carrington’s eighteenth birthday today, she didn’t really want to come, but she wanted to see Axel Hawkins one more time. After all, everyone had graduated, and it might not be possible to see him in the future.

But after waiting left and right for a while, she still didn’t see Axel Hawkins and his entourage, Evelyn Willow.

"Yeah, yeah, Stella Carrington, is it possible that the campus hunk and his handsome sidekick aren’t going to come?" the other classmates chimed in. Officially, they were there to attend Stella Carrington’s birthday party today, but many of them wanted to take this opportunity to take a photo with Axel Hawkins for a keepsake.

When they took graduation photos at school, Axel Hawkins acted cool, and after taking the group photo, he left.

Everyone missed the chance to take a personal photo with him for keepsake, so they all hoped to take advantage of Stella Carrington’s birthday party—as the campus hunk was expected to come, they all did, whether they had the time or not.

Otherwise, knowing Stella Carrington’s personality and the way she treated people, how could it be possible for so many people to attend her birthday party?

"I’ll go make a call and ask." Stella Carrington was embarrassed by what they said, since Axel and Evelyn both had agreed, and now the two of them were dropping her at the last minute? That’s just out of line.

"Go on, go ahead, everyone here is waiting." Led by Laura Clark, everyone was cheering her on.

Stella Carrington cast a gloomy look at Laura Clark, this woman who just wanted to make a scene and see her embarrassed. Was she really that pleased with herself?

However, Laura Clark was not intimidated at all and faced Stella Carrington’s glare head-on.

Finally, Stella Carrington backed down, avoiding her gaze, since everyone was waiting for her to call the campus hunk.

Stella Carrington directly dialed Axel Hawkins’s number, and when Axel saw it was her calling, he immediately answered. Stella Carrington felt somewhat reassured; at least he answered her call, which meant he wasn’t intentionally avoiding her.

"Axel, it’s my birthday today. When will you and Evelyn Willow get here? Is there a traffic jam or something?" In front of everyone, Stella Carrington asked very gently.

"No, Stella, Kent has had a little issue over here, and I might not be able to make it for now. Evelyn Willow just picked up a gift from me, he should be arriving soon, sorry about this." Stella Carrington put the call on speaker, so Axel’s words were heard by everyone.
