Chapter 1161 - 017 Birthday Banquet VS Engagement Banquet
Stella Carrington hadn’t expected Elena Duncan’s eighteenth birthday to be taken so seriously.
Stella was planning to call the Design Company to come decorate the house for tomorrow’s birthday banquet when she saw Simon Carrington and the others come in. In addition to Simon and Daisy Willow, there were Carolline Ruiz and Bryan Hawkins, as well as Axel’s beloved younger brother, Brandon Hawkins.
They had all come, just to celebrate Elena’s birthday?
Elena was so favored by her father, and Stella had nothing to say about that. But even Axel’s parents favored Elena so much, which she found really hard to swallow. Over the years, no matter how much she tried to please Carolline, Carolline was always just polite to her.
Even so, Stella stepped forward to greet them, "Auntie, Uncle, you’re here? Axel and the others have gone to school; they’re not at home, I’ll give him a call."
"No need, Stella," Carolline quickly cut in, "We came to give you a surprise. If you call him, it won’t be a surprise anymore."
"Yeah, Stella, have Elena and the others gone too? And what about Liam?" Daisy Willow looked over at the shoe cabinet, it seemed aside from Stella’s slippers, the others had all gone out.
"Yes, they’ve all gone, I am the only one at home," Stella nodded, replying with slight annoyance.
"Actually, Stella, you should also participate more in school activities. Young people shouldn’t always stay at home alone," Carolline said, not appreciating Stella as much as she did Elena.
"Auntie, there’s actually an event at home today. My classmates just left not long ago, and as you can see, the living room and dining room have not been tidied up yet." If this had been said by Daisy Willow, Stella would have retorted firmly, but since it was Carolline who said it, Stella naturally had to respond politely.
After all, Carolline was Axel Hawkins’s mother.
