Chapter 415:
Most of the time, people paid too much attention to things that were overly practical or realistic, often neglecting
many precious aspects of life.
To be honest, the more precious things were, the more difficult they were to grasp. Sometimes, in moments of
inattention, they would cquietly, catching you off guard.
For instance, RK’s mother always thought that RK’s father didn’t love her. She believed their marriage was a
shackle for him. However, Mr. Kingston loved his wife deeply, albeit without her knowing.
Although Stella did not know the details of what had happened between them all those years ago, she guessed
they must have missed each other very much. It was not easy for them to be together, and they shouldn't have
been heartless to each other due to a little misunderstanding.
In truth, there were many wonderful things, just like RK’s parents. Perhaps they fell in love at an uncertain time,
but such feelings are subtle. It might have happened before they even realized it, yet they never acknowledged

Sometimes, Stella felt lucky. Although she had been badly hurt, at least she had a happy and carefree life with
RK. In contrast, RK’s parents were deeply in love with each other, but they remained unaware of it. They had
lived together for many years, yet they didn’t know each other's true feelings. That might be fate and their
destiny. What a pity...
“Then, Grandma raised me. | grew up safe and sound. Later, Grandma passed away, and the RK Group became
my company. Fortunately, the RK Group hasn't fallen, so | can be regarded as worthy of my grandma's trust.” RK
took a sip of wine as he spoke.
“If you had been here two years earlier, you would have been able to chat with Grandma. It’s a pity you didn’t
get to meet her. She was a very humorous old lady, but always quite strict. In short, she taughta lot.”
Stella said regretfully, “I heard from Mrs. Cassidy that the old madam was a very temperamental person. |
always wanted to meet her, but it’s unfortunate that | never had the chance.”
“It’s okay. | will take you to see Grandma at her grave next year.” Stella nodded dazedly, feeling that something
was wrong with his words. “Well, let's not talk about my family. Let's talk about your family.”
“My family... | think you should know it very well.” Stella felt that after so many years, Sophia must have told RK
about their family. Perhaps he knew more than she did.
“It’s okay. I've heard a little about it.”

RK replied, “I didn’t pay much attention to your family.”
“To be honest, | haven't been back to the Richard family for many years. There are many things | don’t know.”
Stella scratched her head in embarrassment.
“What about the past? | want to know what happened to your mother before she passed away.”
Before her mother passed away? It seemed that Stella couldn’t remember many things. At that time, she was
very young and could only vaguely recall her mother’s appearance. To be honest, she couldn’t say much about

“What | can remember the most might be the celebrations and birthdays with my mother. David rarely came
home. Except for very important days, | spent every day with my mother and the housekeeper. | never felt
lacking compared to the other children.”
“I didn’t know until | heard that they could ride on their father’s back like a horse and that their fathers would

dumplings with them.”
“Oh, that was when | realized that my life was incomplete.”
Stella smiled as she said, “I asked Mom, ‘Why doesn’t Dad chome?’ She always toldthat Dad was busy

“Later, | gradually learned that he wasn’t very busy; he had another family outside. Many times, | felt he was
cruel and unwilling to give my mother andmore care and attention. Although my mother and | lived in the
Richard family home, it felt as though the outside world was his real home. We were just strangers with blood
relations.”
Stella’s smile beca bit awkward. “I don’t know what happened later... | heard from David that my uncle
made a scene at hand cut off all ties with our family. Mom also wanted to divorce David. It turned out that
David and Isabella had a child... It was Sophia.”
“When Mom found out, she insisted on a divorce from David. Later, she fell ill from anger and died soon after.
They sentto a boarding school. | haven’t been hfor a long time, so | don’t know what happened there.”
“Compared to you, | may be lucky. Although my family is not happy, at least my father comes home. Our family
has never missed any celebrations.”
