Travis and Stella looked up to see a tall guy behind them with an attractive smile.

The guy offered Stella a handshake, which Stella accepted willingly because no guy had ever done that to her. "I'm Arthur, and you?"

"Stella."

"What a beautiful name. Do you mind if I call you Ella?" Arthur said.

Stella nodded with a smile.

"How much is the leaf? You can take as much as you need."

"She wanted to take five pieces and the price was fifty dollars," the sales agent said to bail Stella out of the awkward moment.

The sales agent gave a don't-tell-him-I-lie-about-the-price sort of glance and Stella quickly took a few breaths within as Arthur gave the woman the hundred dollars.

"Take everything," Arthur said to the sale agent.

"Wow! Thanks very much. You two guys are fit to be a happy couple."

Travis's eyes sparkled as Stella and Arthur grinned at what the sales agent said. Is Stella falling for the guy already? Why was he always unlucky in the business of women?

"Thank you very much madam," A

    Travis rose from his knees and went inside to change his clothes into the old clothes he wore the day he stepped into the Morrison mansion.He walked out and left behind every other piece of clothing they bought for him.Stella was still crying when he walked to the sitting room and headed towards the exit door. And as he was about to turn the doorknob, the voice of the old Mrs. Morrison stopped him.“Travis, why don’t you take the clothes we bought for you?”Travis doesn’t turn back because he doesn’t want to see the tears of Stella anymore. Her weeping has already shattered his heart.“If I take them with me, people would think I am rich and they won’t help me,” Travis said before turning the knob and darted out into the snow.“Now about the debt,” Augustus was saying. “Give me the account number and I will pay half of it. And if you want me to pay the other half, it is on one condition. You should move in any way you know to make my daughter happy. Travis is the only person who bro

    Liam gave the old Mrs. Morrison a signal to stop her from talking about the family debts because the only topic Augustus could listen to for now was his daughter.Once Rocco brought Travis and Stella, he sat back beside his father, expecting the downfall of Travis. The moment Augustus raised his head, Travis looked down, staring at his and Stella’s feet. “Travis, what happened between you and my daughter last night?” Augustus asked.Travis let out a heavy sigh. He wanted to answer, but he didn’t know how to start or where to start.“Travis, don’t you hear?” Augustus raised his voice.“I confess my feelings to her,” Travis said, still staring at the floor. Augustus then looked at Rocco. “What did you think about this? I want you to judge him, and whatever judgment you place on him is what I would stand on.”Rocco grinned as he cleared his throat. “Travis did the abominable. His task is to work as a houseboy, but because of how Granny treats him, he begins to see himself through the

    Stella wanted to tell Travis she had already accepted him into her heart the moment he penned her into a blank paper. She wanted to tell him she had accepted him into her heart without a request from him.But the suddenly opened door and the angry face of old Mrs. Morrison put her into a rage. Stella stood and walked out of the room with a no-one-can-stop-me sort of face. Travis and Mrs. Morrison wondered why she was angry.Was it because of Travis’s proposal or the uninvited granny? They don’t know the answer, and the old Mrs. Morrison doesn’t want to know. She pointed at Travis. “What do you think you are doing? Did I hire you to chase after my granddaughter’s heart? Don’t worry, I know what to do.”The old Mrs. Morrison walked out of the room, leaving Travis with an unclear thought. Since Granny had caught him confessing his feelings to Stella, should he run away or stay to see what happened?The following day, Travis and Stella did their work together but without uttering a wo

    The old Mrs. Morrison stayed in the corridor, eavesdropping on what they were saying since she wasn't comfortable because she thought Stella would take revenge on her once she realized her father had been rich and wanted to take her away.Once Travis and Stella finished laughing, old Mrs. Morrison waited for them to say something, but silence crawled for a while.“What happened?” Old Mrs. Morrison thought to herself as she placed her palm on her mouth. “Have they known I am here?”She wasn’t sure, and so she stayed a little longer, trying to figure out what was happening between them. A soft sign came, and a soft voice of Travis followed. “I want to tell you something and I don’t know how to put it.”“What is that?” Stella asked.Old Mrs. Morrison furrowed her face and seriously wanted Travis to say his mind, so she brought her ears closer to the door.“I don’t know how you would react. Will you promise me you won’t tell anyone?” Travis asked.“I won’t.”“Not even to Granny?”“Not e

    Augustus shed tears of joy as he leaned his back on the wall of Private Key bank. He went there to confirm his account balance because he thought he might have received a fake alert from the unknown master. The notification he received didn't show the master's name or account number. All he saw was 95 million 35 thousand dollars. Augustus had thought he would never forgive Liam and Mrs. Morrison, but the happiness that was flowing within him made him forget the pain of how they treated him badly. If not for old Mrs. Morrison, who took everything he owned, the master might not make him a millionaire. Augustus called the private number back but it failed. He then went to the restaurant to have a good meal and then used the opportunity to relax and think of what he would use the money for. The first thought that crossed his mind was of his daughter. He must take her out of Mrs. Morrison's house so that he can show her love he failed to do since her childhood. Days went by and

    After getting home and relaxing for some moments, Mr. Williams checked his wristwatch and rose as Stella offered Mrs. Morrison a herbal tea. “I will be going home now. I have an important meeting to attend.” “Thank you very much, Mr. Williams, for being there for me on bad days. I appreciate it. God will repay you in abundance,” Mrs. Morrison said. Mr. Williams smiled. “You are always welcome.” The moment Mr. William left, Mrs. Morrison started the topic with Master. “Augustus, what are you hiding from me? Which master are you?” Augustus sighed. If he says the truth, who would believe the truth anyway? What is the point of saying it? “Mom is talking to you, Augustus,” Liam added. “I’m not the master that Mr. Lucian is talking about,” Augustus said. “Then you might have some connection with that master,” Mrs. Morrison asked. “I don't want to be repeating myself, Mom. I cannot hide from you.” “The way you show courage at Mr. Lucian’s company depends on someone or so
