Carol’s response was very different, and what’s more, she didn’t say anything and still blushed.
As for Gabriel, Stella was a little understanding. Although most people thought he was kind and polite, in reality he was distant, so people often got a strange kind of feeling, and his last words to Care were clearly not his usual kind of words. If he wasn’t attracted to Carol, he wouldn’t say something like that.
“You’re crazy!” Carol groaned and looked away awkwardly.
Stella knew it was because she felt embarrassed, so she didn’t bother with her anymore and just called the waiter to pay the bill
When Nathan returned, he looked at Stella sitting on the sofa and doing something very serious, and he couldn’t see her action clearly, he only noticed something light blue.
She didn’t even notice his return, she kept lowering her head.
“What are you doing?” He couldn’t control himself from coming closer, he stood behind the sofa and spoke.
“It’s nothing!” He surprised her, and she immediately put the object in her pajama pocket and looked at him.
Nathan saw all her actions, sat down on the sofa and held out his hand to her.
“What did you hide before? Take it out, let me see.”
“No, you saw wrong.” Stella shook her head and smiled.
“I didn’t see it wrong, you clearly hid something.” Nathan exposed her lie.
“You saw it wrong, I’m serious.”
Nathan didn’t want to talk to her too much, he moved around her waist, and groped in her pocket, when his hand was grabbed by her. She took the opportunity to push his hand away, and hooked his arm, changing the subject.
“I want to talk to you about something.”
“What do you want to talk about?” Nathan was still too focused on the subject from before that he didn’t care about her.
“Today, when I had dinner with Carol, we ran into Gabriel.”
“So?”
“So…” Stella smiled. “They seem to be attracted to each other…”
“Is that so?” Nathan’s attention finally shifted, he looked at Stella. “My cousin likes Carol?”
“What kind of attitude is that? Why use that kind of tone? What if he likes her? Is Carol bad?” Noticing Stella’s attitude, Nathan smiled hastily.
“That’s not what I mean. It’s just that since that happened, he rarely communicates with girls. In all these years, he’s never had any kind of relationship with women, so I felt a bit strange when you said that…”
“What happened?” Stella didn’t think about finding out Gabriel’s secret either.

Chapter 139.
She just felt that this kind of thing is related to Carol, so she should know what these things are about.
Nathan’s eyes were somewhat imposing, he let go of her shoulder and leaned back on the sofa.
“A while ago, Gabriel had a girlfriend, actually his first girlfriend. Then he was stopped by his grandmother, and then, after a moment, that woman jumped into the river to kill herself…”
Stella hadn’t expected this kind of thing to happen… She was scared for a long time.
“That year, why did Grandma try to stop them? Was it because of her family background?”
“It wasn’t that.” Nathan undid his tie. “That year he was only twenty and he met her during his studies at university. I was only about ten, I don’t remember much, but it was once that I heard Grandma say, because she thinks the girl isn’t honest with her brother, and has ulterior motives.”
“But that girl jumped into the river to commit suicide…”
“I’m not too sure either, But after that time, my brother became seriously ill, almost unable to survive. Every day his grandmother looked after him by his side. Then he got better, but he kept it a secret and didn’t mention that girl again, and in the ten years since then, there hasn’t been a girl by his side to this day…” Nathan shrugged. “If he really likes Carol, then that’s necessarily a good thing too, supposedly Grandma would be very happy.”
That year, reporting on Gabriel’s affair, Stella had also never attended, never seen him in person, so she didn’t really know the real situation. She couldn’t judge him, but that thing had already mattered for ten years. Everyone shouldn’t persist stubbornly in the past, the future is the important thing.
Just as Nathan said, if he really likes Carol, that’s not a bad thing.
Stella only thought of this when she lowered her hand, her hand suddenly raised by him.
“Why are there so many bruises on your hand?” He tried to let go of her finger to look.
Stella regained consciousness, looked at her left hand, and it was the hand that stung because of the needle, she moved her hand.
“It’s okay, it doesn’t really hurt…”
“What are you doing?” Nathan frowned, his gaze fixed on her hand. If it’s a bruise, don’t you need to bandage it? If your hand is bandaged, what happens to me?”
At first, Stella didn’t understand what he meant, but after a little thought, she suddenly understood and blushed.
“I used my right hand, not my left.”
“No.” Nathan smiled temptingly: “You used both hands.”
Stella felt she couldn’t stand this straightforward man, she patted his hand and didn’t want to discuss it any further.
“I want to sleep, you go take a shower.”
She said as she went to bed. After a while she lay in bed and listened to Nathan’s words
“It’s been three months, why should I always do it this way?”
Stella didn’t mind his words, she just felt him sit down next to her.

Chapter 139
“Our daughter is three months old.” He looked at the newest pregnancy test form.
“Right.” Stella frowned.
Didn’t he come during the check–up the last two days?
Nathan perked up in a split second and used his hand to caress her cheeks,
“It’s been three months, that means…”
He intentionally slowed down his words, and stella was affected by his action, but didn’t understand his words.
“Don’t you remember the doctor’s words? After three months, I could..” He smiled and grabbed her shoulder.
Stella immediately nderstood his intention, she immediately reached out to resist against his chest, preventing him from leaning
- in.
“No.”
“Why not? The doctor said that after three months, we could do it. Do you want to suffocate me? How long do you want me to hold back?” Nathan wasn’t satisfied.
“I’m not going to let you hold back, okay? Nathan, isn’t your brain full of these things?” Stella blushed a little.
