The next morning, when Stella woke up, the little one was already sitting on the bed playing with his toys.

She got up and looked around. Clarence was truly sleeping in the sofa to calm himself down.

She carried the child downstairs on tiptoes without waking Clarence up.

In the kitchen, Dolores was already cooking breakfast.

In the dining hall, Archer also sat down on time to doze off.

She put the child on his dining chair and asked Archer to keep an eye on him. Then she went into the kitchen to help.

Dolores asked, “You were not scared yesterday, were you?”

Stella shook her head gently. “It was a bit dangerous. But fortunately, they were not seriously injured.”

Dolores sighed silently. “Whether it is in City N or Riverside City, accidents happened all the time. It must be hard for you.”

“I am fine with it.” While speaking, Stella took the egg custard in Dolores’ hand and paused for a second before saying softly, “Let me help you… Mom.”

Dolores said quickly, “It’s a little hot, so you should be careful.”

Stella nodded, “Okay.”

Dolores turned around and went to get a spoon, and only then did she realize what she just heard. She looked back at Stella and asked with disbelief, “What did you just call me?”

Stella smiled and said again, “Mom.”

Pausing for a few seconds, Dolores' lips curled up. “When did you get the certificate?”

“Just two days before coming to Riverside City.”

“When is the wedding?”

Stella replied, “I don’t know. We still need some time. If possible, probably the end of the year.”

Dolores smiled. “Good. It’s also what I have always been wishing for. If Clarence dares be bad to you, just tell me.”

“Thank you, Ms…. Well, Mom,” Stella replied.

Dolores patted her shoulder. “Don’t worry. You will get used to it.”

After the breakfast, when Archer was about to go upstairs, Stella followed.

He asked, “What is wrong?”
