LittleNovelChapter 264:
“Hehe, President, you're here?” Emily immediately shifted into a subservient and flattering tone, making Stella
almost want to roll her eyes.
Seeing RK’s arrival, Stella realized it wasn’t good for Emily to keep acting like this, so she signaled for her to
leave, indicating they'd talk later.
“Then, President, I'll head back to work first,” Emily said hurriedly, grabbing her bag and practically running out.
Stella couldn't help but feel disappointed. Emily, who always seemed so bold when they were alone, would
completely cower when RK appeared. What kind of friend was that? Shaking her head, Stella ignored RK and
walked into the ward.
RK, not noticing anything out of the ordinary, followed her inside.
In the ward, Adrian was playing on his gconsole. But when he booted up the game, he realized all the levels
had been cleared.
This was strange—he had only made it halfway through the game. How could it be finished in just a few days? It
was impossible, given how difficult the levels were. He had failed several times himself. Then it clicked—he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtremembered seeing RK playing his gthat day.
Was this bad uncle really so skilled at games? Adrian's mind spun with conflict. Should he admire RK’s gaming
skills or remain loyal to his Darling and keep ignoring him? God, he wished Alia were here to help him decide.
But wait—Alia’s father was this bad uncle. So, it should be okay to ask him, right? After all, it was like asking
Alia’s dad, not his own... right?
“Hey, bad Uncle!” Adrian's sudden call startled both Stella and RK.
“Huh? What's up?” RK tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart, keeping his face as calm as ever.
Stella also looked a bit confused. She felt a pang of sadness but quickly pushed it aside. After all, RK was
Adrian’s biological father. She couldnt deny their connection forever.
“How did you finish the game?” Adrian asked earnestly.

“Oh, it’s pretty simple. Here, letshow you. You just do it like this, and then like this...” RK took the
opportunity to sit next to Adrian, guiding him through the game.
Seeing them together tugged at Stella's heartstrings. Without a word, she turned and left the ward.
She found a quiet corner in the stairwell, took a deep breath, and called Emily.
“Hello? Stella?” Emily's voice cthrough, slightly muffled as if she was munching on snacks.
“Emily... it’s Adrian,” Stella started, her voice trembling.
“What's wrong with Adrian?”
“He... he just spoke to RK. He started talking to him,” Stella explained, choking back tears that soon flowed
freely.
“Huh?!” Emily was so shocked she nearly dropped her snacks. “What? Didn't Adrian say earlier that he would
take care of you and protect you? This little... | need to teach him a lesson tonight!”
“What should | do?” Stella sobbed, her emotions overwhelming her. She feared that if Adrian accepted RK, the
court would never grant her custody.
“Don’t be sad, don’t cry. It’s going to be okay. Maybe Adrian just had a lapse in judgment. Don’t overthink it,”
Emily tried to comfort her, but she was just as worried.

“I'm trying not to, but | raised Adrian with so much love and effort. He won't forget me, right? I'm his Darling. He
wouldn't abandon me, would he?”
“Of course not! You've been by his side for years. He won't be easily swayed by RK. Trust in that,” Emily
reassured her as patiently as she could.
Suddenly, someone on Emily’s end called out, “Hey, Emily, are you going to work or not?”
Before Stella could tell Emily to go back to her job, Emily fired off, “What kind of work could possibly matter
when my best friend is facing a crisis? This is a life-and-death situation here!”
With a friend like Emily, Stella felt both comforted and amused. Emily had truly been a rock during her toughest
years. With such a friend, it felt like her life hadn't been in vain.
“Alright, alright, I'm okay now. | just needed to vent. Adrian won't abandon me, so don’t worry. Go back to work.”
“No way! | can’t accept working for a company that’s also benefiting my best friend's enemy! | refuse!” Emily
declared boldly.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Get back to work now! We'll talk more in a few days,” Stella said firmly,
hanging up before Emily could protest any further.
