Chapter 437: Know The Truth
"Stella is the same as me. She is a member of the Black Eagles special force. And the man you saw a few days ago was not her boyfriend but her team leader, my subordinate. When you recognized Stella, they were both undercover in the cafe as a couple." Sean paused when he saw her shocked.
"Since you recognize them, their mission that afternoon automatically fails." Sean continued again. "And why I brought her here tonight is part of my mission. I can’t tell you what it was, but there was nothing between her and me. That is the truth. She’s just my colleague, nothing more."
Sean ruffled her hair gently when he saw her in a daze for a few moments like she was cosplaying as a mannequin.
"Do you understand what I’m saying?"
She nodded, "H-mmm... I understand." Rose understood why Stella suddenly disappeared after they took their high school exams a few years ago. It must have something to do with her joining the military.
"Brother, Stella disappeared four years ago because she was recruited into your division?" She felt amused to realize this. She never thought her beautiful and graceful best friend would join the army and become one of the special forces.
She remembered that Stella’s parents were active in the military. Still, she didn’t expect Stella to follow in her parent’s footsteps.
"Yes. You could say that. Stella entered through special recruitment. But I’m sorry, I couldn’t tell you anything more. And it would be best if you didn’t ask her this either. Because as a member of the Black Eagle, she can’t tell anyone about this... including her family." Sean explains.
Like him, his parents knew he was a military officer but never knew which division he was in. Only his grandfather and Uncle Nicholas Spencer knew because they were both an active military leader.
