Chapter 508<\/p>\n
The vacation photo shoot time just for the two of them had finally come to an end.<\/p>\n
As they returned to Betrico, the beautifully crafted photo album from their trip arrived at Chivers Residence.<\/p>\n
Cherise sat on the sofa, flipping through the album, the smile of her face growing wider.<\/p>\n
The photos were surprisingly good, not like the forced poses of regular photo studios or photography workshops.<\/p>\n
The actions were all natural, filled with genuine emotions.<\/p>\n
When Cherise smiled, Morris smiled along with her. When Cherise acted playful, he smiled too, his eyes glowing with adoration.<\/p>\n
In the south of the city, at a high\u2013end, private villa, Stella was lost in thought. Since the other day after Arthur\u2019s questioning and the cold, unrecognizing gaze she received, Stella had been home and seemed distracted.<\/p>\n
In the garden, an elderly woman, appearing kind and gentle, watched Stella sitting beside her. After taking a sip of coffee, she spoke. \u201cStella, what\u2019s wrong? I\u2019ve never seen you like this. Is your new job not going well?<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it\u2019s not, just talk to your father or Tristan. They can arrange something for you. Don\u2019t let yourself suffer, dear.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stella shook her head. \u201cNo, Mom. The new job is fine. My boss and colleagues are great, and I don\u2019t need to change. Besides, using connections to get a job isn\u2019t right. It can lead to gossip.\u201d<\/p>\n
This elderly woman was Stella\u2019s mother, Cora<\/p>\n
Cora smiled, almost teasingly. \u201cWhat\u2019s the big deal? Many people get good jobs through connections. There\u2019s no fairness in the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it\u2019s not about work, then it must be about your feelings. It\u2019s about Arthur, the one sitting in the position now. Am I right?\u201d<\/p>\n
When it came to her mother, Stella had no reason to hide anything, and she nodded. \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cora wasn\u2019t surprised. \u201cOh, you\u2019ve met him already? That was quick. Did something unpleasant happen when you met?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cora understood her daughter well. Stella nodded again. \u201cYes, we ran into each other at a work event a couple of days ago. Arthur didn\u2019t recognize me at all. He even asked if I was from the Walton family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cora seemed to brush it off lightly. \u201cSo, this is why you\u2019re so distracted? I thought it was something serious. You\u2019ve been through much worse. Are you really that afraid of this moment?<\/p>\n
Stella was confused. \u201cSo this is nothing serious? Mom?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRight, it\u2019s nothing,\u201d Cora replied. \u201cYou\u2019re already in your forties. Don\u2019t let something small mess with your mind. If you like him, then pursue him wholeheartedly, even if his status makes you feel like you\u2019re reaching too high.<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides, we\u2019re not out of his league. We\u2019re a perfect match. There\u2019s no family in Clusia that compares to the Walton family. You should learn from Lydia. She may seem quiet, but she knows what she wants.<\/p>\n
en she likes something, she goes for it and doesn\u2019t miss a single chance. At your age, are you really afraid of failing?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReally? Lydia has someone she likes? I didn\u2019t hear her say anything about it. Who is this gentleman? I never see her showing any interest,\u201d Stella asked, puzzled.<\/p>\n

Cora smiled. \u201cShe\u2019s had someone she likes for a long time. Her room is full of his photos. Compared to the Walton family, they\u2019re from a smaller background.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, well, by the way, his grandfather is an old friend of your failer, a businessman. Ask Lydia if you don\u2019t believe me<\/p>\n
Stella didn\u2019t ask any further questions, letting out a soft sigh.<\/p>\n
Outside Ebb & Flow, Lydia sat in the driver\u2019s seat, her eyes fixed on the entrance to Ebb & Flow<\/p>\n
The man Lydia liked was Truman, from the Simpson family. Just as Cora had said, the Simpson family was a small business family, not quite on the same level as the Walton family.<\/p>\n
This was the third day Lydia had been staking out Ebb & Flow. She had also started staking out at Artiverse Entertainment, but Lydia couldn\u2019t access the underground parking lot because if required facial scanning. So, she had pinned her hopes on Ebb & Flow<\/p>\n
For the past three days, Lydia hadn\u2019t seen Truman. But from the look of it, she didn\u2019t seem ready to give up.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, Truman showed up today. He got out of a large SUV parked at the entrance.<\/p>\n
He had barely stepped into Ebb & Flow when Lydia, noticing him, quickly got out of her car and followed him inside.<\/p>\n
As soon as Lydia entered, she started looking around, scanning the inside of Ebb & Flow. \u201cStrange, I saw him come in. How is it that as soon as I walk in, I can\u2019t see him?\u201d<\/p>\n
Suddenly, someone tapped her on the shoulder from behind.<\/p>\n
Lydia turned around, and standing there, looking at her, was Truman.<\/p>\n
She was instantly a little flustered, feeling like she had been caught in the act of spying. \u201cOh, well, Mr. Simpson, hello.\u201d Truman crossed his arms over his chest. \u201cAlright, tell me who you are and what you\u2019re doing sneaking around here. You\u2019ve been following me for days. What\u2019s your deal?<\/p>\n
\u201cHow do you even know my last name? From Artiverse Entertainment to my house, and now to Ebb & Flow? You\u2019ve been stalking me like a maniac. So annoying. You are a stalker. You definitely are one.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026 I\u2026\u201d Lydia stammered, struggling to find her words.<\/p>\n
But then, she gathered her courage. \u201cMr. Simpson, I like you. The moment I saw you, I liked you. My friends all like the celebrities from your company, but I\u2019m different. I\u2019m not as superficial as they are. I like you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Truman tilted his head, looking at her in disbelief. \u201cDo we know each other? What family are you from? You\u2019d better head home, hit the books, and get some homework done.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPlenty of people like me, but I\u2019m a firm believer in not marrying or dating, so\u2026 I\u2019ll pass. Goodbye, take care.\u201d He gestured toward the door.<\/p>\n
Lydia refused to leave. She stood there stubbornly. \u201cNo way. I know exactly what you like and what you\u2019re into. I remember you saying in an interview that you like women with long hair, women who can cook, and women who are bold.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I have all that! I\u2019ve got long hair, I can cook, and I\u2019m bold. There are so many people who\u2019ve confessed to you, but none of them are like me. They\u2019ve all been\u2026 been\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Lydia stopped short, unable to finish her sentence.<\/p>\n
Truman frowned, feeling uncomfortable. The things she was saying seemed to remind him of those obsessive fans his<\/p>\n

celebrities had to deal with, just as wild, just as unsettling.<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss,\u201d Truman suddenly asked, \u201cYou think I\u2019m impressive, right<\/p>\n
Lydia nodded, eagerly. \u201cOf course.\u201d<\/p>\n
3<\/p>\n
\u201cHuh? Well, that\u2019s right. So, if I\u2019m really this amazing, how could not have a girlfriend? I already have one. Please leave. Turn right, left, whatever\u2026 Just go. Thanks, and take care,\u201d Truman said, his tone firm.<\/p>\n
