Back when Eleanor was alive, she used to say that Jordan must really like Stella, and if those two ever ended up together, Stella would be the happiest girl in the world.
Mary had once listened to Eleanor talk about Jordan's past. He was a boy who'd been through so much, and he needed love just as much as anyone.
Mary was sure that if Stella and Jordan were together, they'd be happy for the rest of their lives.
Stella never imagined that just agreeing to give it a try would turn Jordan into such a lovesick puppy.
Even though she was heading to the office, he insisted on taking her. The whole way, he never let go of her hand, shooting her little smiles every now and then.
She was getting more and more flustered by how sweet he was being.
Jordan grinned and said, "Better get used to it. I'm probably going to be even clingier from now on."
"You'll get bored with looking at me eventually," Stella teased.
"Not a chance," Jordan replied. He knew deep down that from the moment he lost his family, Stella was the only one left who truly cared about him. So he would never get tired of her.
He wanted to cherish her forever. Even a whole lifetime with her wouldn't be enough. He wished he could be with her for ten lifetimes over.
Stella had no idea what he was thinking. When they arrived at the office, she said to him, "I'm heading up now."
"Go ahead. Call me if you need anything," Jordan said.
Stella gave a slight nod.
When she got to the office, Nola immediately noticed that Stella seemed different today. "Ms. Hayes, you seem to be in a really good mood today," Nola said.
Stella looked at her and said, "Yeah. Nola, have you ever been in a relationship?"
"I did back in college," Nola replied.
"Honestly, I never thought I'd ever be able to fall in love again, but now it really feels like I am," Stella said.
Nola was a little puzzled. 'Wait, isn't she already married? And I just heard Mr. Erwin personally dropped her off. Does she actually have that kind of feeling for Mr. Erwin?' But Nola didn't ask any more questions.
Later that day, when Stella went out to run some errands, she unexpectedly ran into Monroe again. But Stella didn't notice him. Monroe was the one who spotted her first.
Just as Stella got out of the car, she saw an old lady fall not too far away. The people passing by acted like they didn't even see her, but Stella, despite being unsteady on her feet, rushed over and helped the old lady up.
She asked patiently, "Ma'am, are you okay? Are you feeling alright? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
The old lady clearly wasn't the type to fake an injury for money. She smiled, "No, no, it's fine. Just helping me up is more than enough. So many people just walked by and ignored me. I thought I was going to die here.
"You're a good girl, dear. Good people like you will always be blessed."
"Are you really sure you don't need me to take you to the hospital?" Stella asked again, still worried.
"No, it's just an old injury. I'm old, you know. Don't worry about me. You go ahead and do what you need to do," the old lady said.
Stella didn't push it any further. As she turned to leave, she kept glancing back to make sure the old lady didn't fall again. Her worried expression was so genuine. It was clear she wasn't just putting on a show.
That was completely different from Anna. The last time Monroe had gone out with Anna, they'd seen an old lady fall on the ground, and Anna had just walked right past her like she didn't even notice.
Monroe had always thought Anna was kind. So he had wanted to ask her why she ignored that old lady. Monroe actually wanted to help, too. After all, if Anna hadn't helped him before, he wouldn't even be here now.
But Anna just dragged him away, and he got distracted by something else at the time and totally forgot about it. Thinking about it now, Anna had been pretty cold that day. On the other hand, Stella was so warm and kind.
'Did I get something wrong about them?' Monroe wondered.
