Chapter 2: Getting Married with Samuel

Hanson returned to the villa the next morning. He sat on the sofa, rubbing his temples, a trace of fatigue on his cold face.

"Stella, come here and give me a head massage."

He finished speaking, but there was no response for a long time. In the past, whenever he came home, Stella would happily greet him, ask about his well-being, massage his shoulders and back, and make him happy. He looked around the huge villa, only to find it cold and deserted, without Stella's presence.

At this time, Aunt Chen stood at the kitchen door and said helplessly: "Stella hasn't come back since yesterday..."

Hanson's handsome face flashed with impatience, and he rubbed his eyebrows again. He knew that she was angry because of the cancellation of the engagement party yesterday, and she was throwing a tantrum again. He took out his phone, opened Stella 's chat interface, and saw the breakup text message she sent. Hanson laughed angrily. Break up? Would she be willing to do that?

He stood up with his slender body, picked up his coat from the sofa, and contacted his secretary at the same time.

"Ann, book a ticket to Country M immediately to discuss the MA1 meeting."

Aunt Chen couldn't bear it, so she stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, Stella didn't come back all night, aren't you worried? Don't you want to comfort her? After all, an engagement is such a big deal, and it's cancelled just like that. Which girl can stand it!"

Hanson certainly understood what Aunt Chen meant. He curled his lips and said coldly, "I don't have time to coax you."

After that, he left directly. The meeting in Country M would take a week. He gave Stella a week to calm down. By then, wouldn't she come back obediently?

Stella flew back to Xiangcheng, spent a night at the airport, and took a taxi back to her small house in Xiangcheng the next day. Looking at the two-story house in front of her that carried her beautiful childhood memories, she felt a warm current in her heart. This sense of belonging was something she had never felt in the seven years she had lived in the extravagant capital.

She was about to push the door open when the door of the villa next to her suddenly opened and a hurried figure walked out and passed by her with anxious steps. Stella recognized him and called out, " Brother Samuel . " Samuel was anxious and suddenly heard a familiar soft voice. He turned around in surprise and saw Stella with a smile on her face.

"Xingxing? You're back?"

Stella smiled: "Brother Samuel, I'm back."

She grew up under the care of Samuel, who was also her neighbor's older brother, and they had always had a good relationship. However, she had been spending all these years in the capital with Hanson and had no chance to come back.

Samuel was surprised for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly burst into great surprise. He walked quickly to Stella: "Xingxing, help me."

"What's the matter?"

"Marry me."

Stella subconsciously took a step back. What kind of favor is this? Too outrageous!

Samuel also knew that this was too abrupt, and he hurriedly explained, his voice choking with sobs: "Jiaojiao had an accident in Country J, and she left a child. I want to bring the child back, but the policy there requires me to get married before I can adopt a child. I really have no choice now, Xingxing, just help me get the marriage certificate, and when I come back, I will divorce you."

This request was unreasonable, after all, Stella would be remarried. But Samuel couldn't care less at the moment, as the war was raging in J Country, Jiaojiao was dead, and he had to bring back the child she left behind.

Stella felt a pain in her heart. She seemed to realize the bad result. Her face turned pale and her voice trembled: "Sister Jiaojiao...what's wrong?" She had been in contact with Sister Jiaojiao and knew that she was in Country J. When the war broke out in Country J , she asked her to come back as soon as possible, but she did not reply to her message.

A tear fell from Samuel's eye: "She...is dead."

Stella's footsteps trembled, and she almost fell to the ground. When she was a child, she was often taken care of by Sister Jiaojiao, a gentle and strong sister next door. Unexpectedly... Now her only bloodline is in such a dangerous place, and she must bring the child back.

Stella immediately said, " Brother Samuel , wait for me. I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you after I get the documents."

Getting married is a very easy thing. The man and woman go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to take a photo, do a notarization, read a declaration, and stamp it with a steel stamp, and the marriage certificate is in hand. It's such a simple thing, but she has been with Hanson for seven years and has not waited for it. The engagement party was cancelled on the eve of the engagement. It's ridiculous!

Fortunately, she was still young, and it was not too late to turn back. She still had a long life ahead of her. Samuel took the marriage certificate, thanked Stella, and rushed to the airport. Time was urgent, and there was no time to waste. If he delayed for a second, the child would be in danger.

Looking at Samuel's anxious departure, Stella clasped her hands together and said, "I hope that Samuel and Jiaojiao's child can return safely."

Stella didn't know that when she said this, a circle of white light surrounded her.
