Sherry thought they would find a cafe to sit and chat since they hadn't seen for long, but neither of
them made this request.
After a brief and gentle greeting, they said bye.
They were like old friends, who had their own lives, and it was enough to know that the other was doing
well.
When they arrived downstairs at the mall, Daniel was already there.
Sherry turned her head and took Stella's hand with reluctance.
The next time they saw each other would probably be the wedding day.
Stella had three children with her, and her body had not yet fully recovered, so she could not be a
bridesmaid.
They had made an appointment to be each other's bridesmaids a long time ago, and for whatever
reason, it was quite a pity.
Stella knew what she was thinking and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be there to accompany you on the night
before your wedding."
Sherry's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Of course."
"What about those kids?"
"I'll prepare delicious food for them in advance, they might cry at night, but it's okay. It's just one night."
Sherry fiercely hugged her, "You are so kind."
Stella patted her back, "Alright, although I can't be your bridesmaid. I will watch you go to the
happiness personally."
After Sherry left, Stella took Noah home.
She saw Archer sitting in his suitcase as she entered the door, raising his hand to greet her.
Stella was slightly stunned, "What are you..."
"It's been three months since Noah's surgery, and he's recovering well, and you, too, have given birth
successfully, so my mission here is over. It's time to go back."
After being used to living with Archer for the past half a year, it was more or less uncomfortable to hear
that he was leaving suddenly now.
Stella paused, "Does Clarence know?"
"Yes, I've talked to him." Archer got up and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back in a couple of months to
check on him again, or if you don't have anything to do, bring the baby to Riverside City. Over there, it's
also your home."
Stella gently compressed her lips together.
Archer pulled his suitcase, "Alright, I'm leaving."
"Hey…"
"No need to see me off. We will see each other again."
Despite what he said, Stella still walked with him to the door.
Archer never turned back, waving and getting into the car.
After the car drove away and was no longer visible, Stella withdrew her gaze.
Behind her, Noah had already run off to see his two sisters.
Alisa was looking after them.
Stella walked to the kitchen and said to Dolores, "Mum, Archer has gone back."
For no reason, she felt that Dolores wouldn't be able to stay for long.
"It's okay. Riverside City is his home, and it's time for him to return."
Stella was silent before she said, "What about you?"
She remembered that Dolores had once knelt in front of the James family's tombstone, saying she
wanted to pay her respects to the deceased Bancroft.
However, due to various reasons, it had never been carried out.
Dolores paused and turned her head to look at her, "Initially, I wanted to tell you about it later, but since
you asked, I will now. When I bring the child up a bit more, I will return."
Going back to pay for those sins she had committed.
Stella knew her thoughts, "Mom, things have already passed. It is unnecessary to cling to those
anymore. I know you have advised Clarence. By the same token, I also hope that you can be like him
and no longer be bound by those grudges."
Dolores smiled, "I'm not, but I have not been able to do my filial duty for thirty years, which is a regret of
my life."
"I understand you and support you, but you don't have to trap yourself for the rest of your life because
of regrets and guilt. Otherwise, the next ones to regret will be me and Clarence, who hasn't seen you
for over twenty years."
Dolores probably didn't expect her to say that. She was about to say something, but she just laughed in
relief, "Don't worry, I won't be there for too long. How can I let go of three such lovely grandchildren."
Stella showed a smile as she hugged her arm and whispered, "And such a beautiful and gentle
daughter-in-law."
Dolores smiled and touched Stella's forehead, "Yes, I can't let you go the most."
While they were talking, a male voice came from outside slowly, "So I'm an outsider?"
Dolores was awkward.
So was Stella.
...
Daniel was surprised when he learned that William would be back for his wedding.
Seeing him like this, Sherry remembered that he had once said that although he was nominal William,
he was actually a tool he had groomed for revenge.
Sherry waved in front of him, "What are you thinking about?"
Daniel withdrew his thoughts and put down his phone, "Nothing. William's flight is tomorrow night. I'm
going to pick him up."
"No, I've just called Stella. Clarence will go."
"Isn't he busy?"
Sherry smiled, "So what? William is his father-in-law, who has always had a problem with him because
of his previous affair with Stella. Can he not take the opportunity to behave well?"
Daniel smiled, not saying anything.
Sherry sat next to him, wrapping the wedding candy as she said, "Actually, no matter how busy a
person is, they will drop everything in their hands when the people closest to them are in need."
Thinking she was talking about Clarence, Daniel nodded, "Indeed."
Realizing that he had missed her point, Sherry was about to continue speaking when Daniel said, "Is
Channing coming back?"
"No, he called me this morning and said he had a lab report that needed to be finished this week and
couldn't come back. He wished me a happy wedding in advance." Sherry added, "But I think he is
avoiding Winnie."
Daniel didn't quite understand, "Why?"
"Winnie hasn't let go yet, and isn't she the bridesmaid? Chan probably doesn't want her to be
embarrassed."
Daniel nodded in an afterthought.
Sherry shifted the topic back, "Do you understand what I just said?"
"What?"
"If William didn't think of you as a son, how would he put aside his own son and come back for your
wedding?"
William might have been wrapped in hate in previous years.
It had been different a long time ago from before.
Daniel had once been a tool of revenge, but all those years they spent together
counted.
