Chapter 252

At least Roger could grow up in a place like this. He had lived up to her parents’ expectations. If her
parents could witness this, they would feel relieved, right? It was just that she had embarrassed them.

Stella didn’t know if she’d ever have a career that her parents would be proud of. She sighed and
randomly walked into a tea shop, ordered a cup of milk tea in boredom, and waited for Roger to finish
his class.

She checked on her savings and thought about her next career plan. She had considered what Roger
told her, but considering her relationship with Weston, there would be a lot of inconvenience if she did
go down that road. If her relationship with Weston were to be discovered, many people would be
affected. She always had the worst plans for her relationship with Weston.

“A milk tea latte, please.”

After ordering her drink, she sat down in a corner. When the man paying at the cashier in front of her
heard her voice, he turned and looked at her instinctively. When their eyes met, she was surprised. “Mr.
Hall?” She didn’t expect to bump into him in such a small tea shop.

And neither did he.

He was a little surprised but quickly returned to his usual polite self. Smiling, he nodded at her. “What a
coincidence for you to be here too. Coming over to see Roger?” Stella nodded and glanced at the boy
holding on to Mr. Hall. She smiled and greeted him.” Long time no see.” Bryce was thrilled today,
getting the rare chance to visit the university his father worked at. Justin Hall, a lecturer, would
constantly be swamped at work and had little time to care for Bryce.



Some time ago, upon quarreling with Tina, he finally realized that they had both taken their children for
granted, not giving them the time they deserved. Since then, he had subconsciously made up for it
whenever he could.



Initially overjoyed, Bryce became alerted when he saw her. “Hello, Ms. Steele.” Although he still
greeted her politely, he obviously didn’t sound too enthusiastic. He also averted her eyes as he stood
behind Justin.

Stella knew that the little boy must’ve assumed a general impression of her and didn’t say

anything When her drink was served, she asked the staff, “Can you help me pack it, please?”

Bryce looked at her, and his eyes flickered as he knew she was avoiding him.

In the end, he withdrew his eyes.

He didn’t expect to encounter such a scene when they met again. Once she got her milk tea, she said,
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.” He nodded, took the chocolate drink Bryce ordered and gave it to
him. “We’ll leave after we finish the drink.”

Bryce nodded. When he saw her leave, he was relieved and sat in front of his father. Justin was
amused to see his son act as if he was facing an enemy. “You don’t seem to like her very much, do
you?”

Bryce was startled and sat up straight. He shook his head, expressions solemn.“I don’t dislike her.”

“Then why were you so worked up just now?”

“It’s just that…”



Not knowing how to explain, he studied his father’s face carefully. After a while, he said,” Father, will
you get mad if I tell you the truth?”

Justin was startled.

He looked at his son’s cautious look and felt uneasy. “Just say it. What is it that you can’t tell me"
