NovelGolder 720 The Calm After Tears
If any servants really had been bought off, Madam Evelyn would show no mercy.
The butler’s face hardened. “Rest assured, I've already begun the investigation.”
The package alone proved this was no small matter. The timing was too precise.

For so long, nothing had happened while Abraham was home, and yet the moment he left on a trip, someone
pulled this vile trick.
“From now on,” Evelyn said coldly, “all parcels and mail are to be strictly monitored-especially anything meant
for Stella or Rongchuan.”
“Understood. Leave it to me.”
Orders already flowed down through the household staff.
But Evelyn's eyes glinted with lethal intent. Whoever dared make a move under her roof-she would skin them
alive.
Downstairs, Abraham coaxed Stella into eating more than she thought she could.
“Not another sip,” she protested, pressing a hand to her rounded belly.
Seeing her so full, he chuckled and set the soup aside. “All right, no more.”
Just then, Marie's nflashed on his phone. Abraham rubbed Stella's hair gently.
“Marie's calling. I'll answer.”
Stella nodded, meek again. “Okay.”
She was always easy to soothe-Abraham only had to wrap her in steady words, and her insecurities melted
away.
He stepped aside and picked up.

“Talk.”
“Where the hell were you? | called earlier and you were offline!” Marie snapped.
The first time, Abel had answered for him. The second time, the phone had been shut off.
“On the plane,” Abraham replied evenly.

Marie huffed. “Well, big trouble blew up at home, did you know? Stella calledbawling her eyes out! What's
going on? You've never had women around you, so how did someone pull this stunt?”
“Abel explained it to you, didn’t he? Get back quickly. Stella’s been crying herself sick.”
Abraham said calmly, “I'm already home.”
“You are?” Marie blinked. “That fast? So-how’s Stella?”
“She's eating.”
Marie: “..."
Eating? Already?
The mess had been huge, and Stella had cried herself raw-yet just like that, her brother had soothed her?
“She’s not crying anymore?”
“I told you. She’s calm now. Eating peacefully.”
Marie exhaled in relief. If she was calm, then the worst had passed.
“Good. Good. But seriously, how did you manage it?!”
Stella wasn’t supposed to be this easy to comfort.
Abraham ignored the question. “Tessa-have you found her?”
“Ugh, don’t bring that up, brother.” Marie groaned.
The moment he mentioned Tessa, her headache returned full force.
“What a mess... At this point, | think Tessa might already be dead in the hands of the Morris family. But don’t you
dare mention that to Stella. | don’t want to risk her breaking down again.”
Abraham’s voice stayed flat. “She isn’t dead.”
“Not dead? Then why haven't they

Marie chewed on that. “So | didn’t press them hard enough? Should | have Derrick torch Ashen Pact some

“...” Abraham pinched the bridge of his nose.
“Do as you see fit,” he said at last.

explosions were hardly excessive.
The siblings exchanged a few more words before hanging up.
When Abraham returned to the dining room, Stella was already in the sitting room.
A fresh delivery of children’s clothes had arrived, and she was holding up each tiny outfit with wide eyes.
Abraham approached, his voice low. “What you should be choosing now... is our wedding attire.”
