Chapter 1231
An unusual feeling crept into Stella's heart. She had always been sensitive to scents. Moreover, she had been
curious about the various fragrances emitted by plants since she was a child. This further developed her passion for
cultivating flowers and plants. She had even created potpourri sachets back then. Now she realized where her
unique hobbies might have come from.
"Why did Darcie take over the business instead of Trevor?" Stella asked, seeking clarity.
"Well, Darcie was the co-founder of Enchanted. But, your mother was the one who created the signature perfume
that established the company's reputation in the industry. It's called Secret Garden," Keegan explained.
"After Aunt Freesia passed away, your Uncle Daryl managed the business for a while, but he didn't know much
about perfumes. So, he handed it back to Uncle Wenham after a couple of years."

he decided to assume control.
Darcie was well-versed in perfume-making and business management. She provided guidance to Wenham when he
first took charge of Enchanted. They spent a lot of time together as widows and gradually developed feelings for
each other.
Wenham married Darcie six years after the passing of his first wife.
The Hall family did not approve of this union, as Enchanted was Freesia's life's work. They were not happy with the
idea that her widowed husband and his second wife were managing it together.
Additionally, Wilfred had helped Darcie out when she was financially struggling during the early days of establishing
Enchanted. They treated her like family and felt betrayed now that she was involved with their late daughter's
husband not long after her death.
Since then, the Hall family started distancing themselves from Wenham. They would not have kept in touch with the
Saun family if it were not for their grandson, Trevor.
Stella remained silent for a while after listening to Keegan's explanation.
"Actually, Uncle Wenham is a simple and honest man. He treated Aunt Freesia really well. He was in a terrible state
for the first two years after her death. He lost a lot of weight and suffered from anxiety.’
"But, that didn't stop him from remarrying someone else! He moved on so easily," said Stella.
Keegan was stunned to hearthat. "Have you ever considered the pain and loneliness of losing a loved one? Some
people choose to bear with it, while others choose to bury their past and start anew. You can love more than one
person in a lifetime, Stella. Uncle Wenham has more to live for.
"If I leave this earth before you, and the days of yearning become too painful, I want you to find someone else. I
want you to love and cherish him, " he paused and added, "But not more than how much you love me."

Keegan's words left Stella dumbfounded. 'I wasn't blaming Uncle Wenham for moving on. I'm just saying that he
moved on too soon. I would never be able to move on that quickly,' she thought.
Stella had imagined what would happen if Keegan died first, but she quickly brushed it aside. She would tell herself
that they were still young, and there was still a long journey ahead. Subconsciously, she avoided the topic of death
because she could not fathom what life would be like without Keegan. At the same time, she did not want to
envision him with someone new if she passed away first.
Stella often let her emotions control her first when it came to love. 'Why does he want me to find someone new
when he's gone? Doesn't he love me anymore?' she thought. Soon, she realized that Keegan had said those words
because he did not want her to feel alone after his death.
"What if I can't control myself and end up loving him more?" Stella teased.
Hearing that, Keegan clenched the steering wheel and went deep in thought. He paused for a long time before he
said, "It's fine... You'll still be buried next to me when your time comes, and we can be together forever."
