Marshall paused, a moment of youthful charm flickering in his eyes.

Feeling guilty for the lie she concocted, Stella dared not meet his eyes. "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be going in

now."

"Wait," Marshall called after her.

Stella stopped and turned to look at him.

Marshall stepped out of the car, opened the back door, and pulled out a bouquet of flowers. "I passed by a flower

shop on the way here and thought of bringing you some flowers. It's been a while since you stayed here, and I

thought your room could use a touch of freshness."

The gesture left Stella stunned.

Marshall certainly knew how to make a move. 1

If this had taken place before she got to know Keegan, Stella would have probably fallen for someone as

outstanding as Marshall. It wasn't about the romantic aspect of the flowers, but Marshall's attentiveness that

touched her heart.

"Don't you like it?" Marshall asked softly as Stella remained silent.

Stella accepted the flowers and smiled. "No, I love it. Thank you."

Marshall smiled back, his gaze tender. "That's good."

Stella watched him leave. She adjusted the flowers in her hand and was about to enter the house when her phone

rang.

She grabbed the device from her bag and answered the call.

"Hello, is this Stella Hall?"

"Yes. May I ask who's calling?"

"We're police officers from the city bureau. The case of your kidnapping has been closed, and there are some

personal items of yours here. Could you come by to pick them up when you're free?"

Glancing at the time, Stella replied, "I'm available right now. Can I come over immediately?"

"Of course. Please remember to bring your ID."

After hanging up, Stella left the flowers in the guardhouse and took a cab to the police station.

Upon arrival, a police officer immediately approached and assisted her with the paperwork. Once everything was

settled, Stella sat outside and waited.

In no time, the police appeared with a sealed bag.

The police opened it and took out the items inside for Stella to confirm.

They were belongings stolen by the kidnappers during the incident—specifically her purse and some jewelry.

There were only a handful of things in the bag, and they were all accounted for.

Stella closed the bag and suddenly realized that the pendant that used to hang on it was gone.

She opened the bag again and checked, but it wasn't there.

Seeing her rummaging around, the officer asked, "What's wrong? Is something missing?"

Stella nodded and said, "There used to be a rabbit pendant on this bag. I thought it might be inside."

"There was no rabbit pendant when we searched for evidence at the scene. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Stella was momentarily stunned. "I wouldn't be mistaken. My best friend also has one like it, and it's always been

here. On the day of the incident, I saw it was still there when the kidnappers took my things. Maybe it got lost." 2
