Miguel nodded slightly. “Why do I feel like you‘ve been avoiding me lately?“.
“Have I?” Stella took a sip of water and concealed her emotions. “I‘ve agreed to go to Ahn City with you. What do
you mean?”
“It‘s not that, but... I don‘t know how to describe it.”
Miguel sighed again. He said, “Have you ever felt that you‘ve been avoiding me emotionally?” Miguel believed he
had made it clear.
Stella instantly frowned. She put the glass of water down and looked him in the eye. “That‘s irrelevant. I‘ve always
treated you like my own family.”
“Is that so?” Miguel was stubborn. He said, smiling, “We can be a family as husband and wife too.”
“Miguel!” Stella raised her voice at once. She said to him sternly, “Don‘t make jokes like that. I don‘t like it!”
Stella treated Miguel like Roger. When Miguel said those words, it brought her back to the time when Roger made

Stella felt like a failure. She had no idea what she‘d been doing all these years. She could not believe that she did
not realize Roger‘s feelings for her.

Miguel was surprised by her overreaction . After a short silence, he said, somewhat hurt, “Aren‘t you being a little
too conservative? We‘re family, yes, but we‘re not blood related. You don’t have to keep pushing me away...”
The weather was getting a little cool. Then, the rain started to pour.
It was almost midnight. Stella stood on the balcony and watched Miguel leave angrily.
She sighed heavily. They had just engaged in a very harsh argument.
Miguel said nothing. After looking at her for a few moments, he picked up her car keys and turned around.

Stella didn‘t know how to express her emotions. The feeling of exhaustion engulfed her.
For the past three years, she lived a peaceful and happy life. With her job and career on the rise, she had
everything she wanted in her hands. However, she inevitably felt empty and uncomfortable.
Looking back, she missed her parents and Roger a lot. Even so, she was fine with what she had.
Stella did not want to get involved or respond to Miguel‘s feelings. She was at a loss, having no idea how to handle

Miguel expected everyone to be asleep, but he found the living room brightly lit as he arrived home. He walked
over and saw his grandfather Marcus sitting on the sofa in his favorite black nightrobe.
Marcus Garcia sat there quietly. When he heard the movement at the entrance, he turned over to see Miguel. “Why
are you so late? Were you at Cicily‘s place again?”
Miguel nodded. “Grandpa , why are you still up so late?”
“I heard some gossip about you two today. You picked Cicily at Infinity Hall with flowers and looked pretty close,”
Marcus said in a casual tone. He sounded as if it was nothing serious.
Miguel observed the look on Marcus‘s face and was a little relieved to see that he wasn‘t here to ask questions.
“This is between the two of us. Don‘t bother.”
Marcus was older and more enlightened. In the past, he would use his influence to force a couple to break up, but
his son‘s tragedy woke him up.

Marcus never did something like that again. Instead, he was very careful at dealing with Miguel. “I‘m not lecturing

yourself a laughing stock...”
