Chapter 1219

Stella took a deep breath and walked inside slowly.

Her back was kept straight. Not only was she nervous, but she was also trying to look more presentable in front of

her elders, fearing that she might not meet their expectations.

The private room was huge, and four people were sitting at a round table in the middle.

An amiable-looking elderly couple sat next to each other, whom Stella had seen on a video call before. They were

her grandparents, Wilfred Hall and Edith Wade.

Wenham was sitting beside Edith. Although he gained a little weight, he still exuded a graceful presence. The look in

his eyes showed a hint of excitement when he saw Stella coming in.

Seated beside Wilfred was a middle-aged man with sharp and distinct features. He looked somewhat familiar to

Stella and was strikingly good-looking. He seemed to be in his late forties, but his well-maintained physique would

make him look only a few years older than Keegan if he changed his hairstyle.

Stella took off her mask, and Wilfred could not contain himself and said, "My dear granddaughter."

Edith's eyes turned red. She tugged Wilfred's sleeve and said softly, "Don't scare the child."

Wenham immediately stood up and pulled out the chair next to him. "Stella, sit over here," he said.

Trevor held her hand and introduced everyone to her," You've seen our grandparents in the video call before, and

obviously, you've met Dad too. This is our uncle, Daryl. He came along with our grandparents to see you

specifically. His wife has a talk to attend at Frecford today, so she can't be here. We'll arrange another time for you

to meet her."

Stella clenched her fists nervously. She was always chatty but suddenly did not know what to say when faced with

this family's anticipating gaze.

Trevor paused and put the gift box he was holding on the table. "Grandpa, Grandma, Stella brought this gift for

you."

The couple was delighted. "How thoughtful of you," Edith praised Stella.

"Thoughtful children always have a difficult childhood. Just look at how skinny she is." Wilfred added.

Edith felt distressed upon hearing that. "I'm sure that she suffered malnutrition when she was younger. Trevor

showed me a photo of her in fifth grade, and she looked like a little dwarf."

Stella was speechless. It was undeniable that she was not tall, but calling her a little dwarf was a bit of an

exaggeration. She started growing taller and taller after her second year in high school.

After listening to his grandparents' outrageous remarks about Stella, Trevor coughed and said, "Stella wasn't that

short. Look, she's all grown up and is a pretty woman now."

"Of course, she is. Nobody in our family is too short anyway," Wenham said.

Then, Wilfred added, "That's because of the good genes in the Hall family. I'm glad that she looks like Freesia and

not you."

Wenham was taken aback. Then, he whispered, "Her nose looks like mine. We both have a tall nose bridge."

"No, she looks like me. Trevor looks like me; Stella looks like Trevor, so Stella looks like me." Daryl chimed in.

Wenham's expression grew dark. "How can my children look like you? Stop flattering yourself. I can't tell which part

of you is attractive at all."

"Could you ever have such two good-looking children if it weren't for Freesia's genes?" Wilfred expressed his

dissatisfaction.

Wenham was left speechless once again.

Stella was shocked that the family was actually arguing with each other over whom she resembled.

She shifted her puzzled gaze to Trevor. He cleared his throat and said calmly, "You'll get used to it."

Stella felt like she had finally found where she inherited her feisty character from.

The family argued for quite some time before they finally realized that Stella had been standing there all along.

Then, Edith immediately said, "Let's not talk about it anymore.

Trevor, tell the waiter to serve the dishes now. I'm sure that Stella is starving, right?"

Stella put on her iconic fake smile. "It's fine. I'm not that hungry."

"Come, sit next to me. Let me have a good look at you." Edith said with an amiable smile.

Stella walked somewhat awkwardly to Edith and was pulled to sit between Edith and Wenham.
