Stella desperately wanted to storm downstairs and smash everything in the house, but the thought of Eleanor made her hold back.
She thought to herself, 'The Hayes family owes me, and I'll make sure to settle every score with them, one by one.'
The next day was the weekend, and Henry arrived at the Hayes residence early in the morning.
Eleanor was now well enough to join the family for breakfast.
Stella would never eat with the others unless Eleanor was there. Seeing Eleanor at the table, she finally emerged from her room.
Lately, breakfast always included a bowl of polenta, and Stella was finally well enough to enjoy it.
Henry smiled at Stella and said, "Stella, it's such a lovely day, and since it's the weekend and I'm free, how about we go out for a while?"
Stella wasn't keen on going, but Fiona quickly chimed in, "Come on, Stella. We haven't had the chance to show you around since you came back. Look how thoughtful Henry is.
"Why not go with him and see how much the city has changed in the past three years?"
Seeing that Stella remained silent, Fiona kept shooting her meaningful glances, subtly urging her to look toward Eleanor.
Stella gave Henry a strained smile and replied, "Well, I suppose I'll have to trouble you then."
Henry said, "No trouble at all. We're going to be husband and wife soon. It's only right for me to do this."
Naturally, Stella couldn't show her dislike for Henry in front of Eleanor.
Eleanor watched as Stella ate more polenta, her face beaming with joy. She said, "Even though you've been in the hospital lately, I can see your complexion has improved so much. Keep this up, and I will surely see your old healthy self again."
Fiona quickly added, "Stella, why not go out for a walk? Who knows, you might recover even faster."
Stella could tell Eleanor wanted her to get some fresh air.
Eleanor wished she could take Stella out herself, but her own health wouldn't allow her to be out for long.
Not wanting to add to Eleanor's worries, Stella reluctantly agreed.
After breakfast, Martin arrived just in time to give Stella her acupuncture session. Once it was finished, Stella finally started getting ready to go out by picking an outfit.
Just then, Fiona walked into her room and asked, "Stella, what are you wearing out?"
Stella pulled out an outfit and showed it to Fiona.
Fiona said, "Henry bought this for you, didn't he? Well, you should wear it. And take this phone. It's old, but just keep it with you for now. When you get back, you can get any new phone you want."
Stella thought, 'Fiona is pulling out all the stops to please Henry.' She replied, "No, I won't need it. I'll be with Henry, nothing will happen."
Fiona said, "But you'll need to stay in touch. What if something happens to you after you go out?" She caught herself, realizing she'd almost let her true thoughts slip.
She quickly forced a smile and said, "Stella, I didn't mean it that way. I'm just worried about your safety."
Stella's face darkened with barely concealed contempt. She thought, 'Right, I'm the Hayes family's golden goose now. If I ran away and Henry pulled his investment, wouldn't that mean the end of the family?'
She said flatly, "I won't be taking the phone for now. I'll stick with Henry the whole time. I won't run off."
Fiona, finding it awkward to insist, took the phone back with an embarrassed smile. She said, "Alright, let's wait till tomorrow. I will take you out to get a new phone and anything else you need."
Stella couldn't even be bothered to respond. She thought bitterly, 'Now that I'm about to be married off, she suddenly remembers to buy me things? How utterly revolting.'
She said, "I'm going to get changed."
Fiona replied, "Go ahead. Henry's been waiting for a long time. Don't keep him waiting." With that, she walked out.
Stella changed into fresh clothes and emerged, her appearance as striking as ever, a real head-turner.
Henry reached out and took Stella's hand.
She thought to herself, 'The Hayes family owes me, and I'll make sure to settle every score with them, one by one.'
