A second chance for the CEO
Chapter 34
Anna laughed and put the necklace away.
She didn’t do anything else, and she knew that Stella always liked simplicity, so she certainly wouldn’t wear or buy anything too expensive.
Originally she had let someone else prepare a necklace, but now she realized that the necklace was given to her by Nathan, and that was more important than any jewel, so she thought that was enough
Anna Collins came from a wealthy family, her ancestors were government officials, and her mother was a famous model, so from an early age she had already attended many occasions, so she had a fascinating beauty.
Stella’s dress today was basically what she thought it was, even the stylist thought it was really perfect.
“Liam, please come down with Mom, your father is waiting for you!” Anna said to her great–grandson, who was reading a book full of drawings.
Anna was rather impatient to see Nathan’s expression when he saw Stella’s transformation.
Stella’s appearance was exquisite with fine features. Every part of her is simply perfect and just right, and her beauty is like an orchid in the middle of the grain, dazzling like the peony on the tree, but lets it penetrate deeply into people’s eyes.
Stella felt exaggerated, dragged her skirt and, a little uncomfortable.
“Grandma…” She rarely dressed like that.
“Shall we go down together?” Anna ignored her.
“Mom, come on.” Liam was wearing a plaid suit, leather shoes and a bow tie, just like the English gentlemen.
His mood seemed good today, but Stella was still worried about his health.
“Grandma, do we really need to take Liam?”
“It’ll be fine, and there’s a doctor at the party, and it’s good for Liam to get out and about, he can’t stay at home all the time.“,
Madame Collins consoled her, and also made Stella feel a little relieved, she took Liam’s hand and went downstairs.
Nathan was looking at the financial magazine when Stella came downstairs, he closed the financial magazine and threw it on the coffee table, then looked straight ahead.
Stella wore the dress he had helped her make to measure, a red dress with a mermaid skirt. Considering her previous back injury and the fact that it hadn’t completely disappeared, he had helped her ask the designer to design a dress that covered her back.
Stella could feel Nathan’s deep gaze on her, he seemed to be dissatisfied with her outfit. Of course, at first she had also felt that this outfit was rather unsuitable for her, and now, looking at his expression, she felt like changing.
This time Anna Collins also came down.
“Nathan, what do you think of Ella’s outfit? It’s beautiful, isn’t it?”
“It kind of is.” Nathan said this lightly, while looking away, he was definitely reluctant to admit his feelings!
Anna smiled silently for a while, even though she was nearsighted, she wasn’t blind. Naturally, she could see Nathan’s expression as

he looked at Stella arriving.
She had lived so many years that she could clearly understand the meaning of that look.
It was a desire to possess.
“You three, hurry up, it’s about to start, it’ll be bad to be late.” Anna said, hurrying them along.
As the weather outside was very cold, the temperature was below zero, Stella put on a coat because her dress was very thin, so when she arrived in the lobby warm enough, she took it off.
Tonight was the Collins family’s annual party, and naturally it was full of guests. In addition to the company’s employees, many famous businessmen from the city also attended, and this was the first time Stella had appeared as Nathan’s wife, so she received everyone’s full attention, so the focus of the media and party guests was on her.
She followed Nathan to the center of the hall, and around them many people came up to greet him, and since there were so many people there, Nathan also carried Liam in his arms, and Stella put her hand on his arm and calmly followed him.
Even though the whole time she didn’t say anything, no matter where she went, she didn’t let anyone get her attention, she looked like a dazzling star.
Before tonight, the townspeople had always seen Stella as a joke, they thought that even though she had tricked her way into marrying into the Collins Family, she still suffered the cold treatment of her husband.
Her husband threw her away to go abroad, and left for four years.
Everyone thought so, so in the past, she never appeared in public. But today, with one look, everyone knew their thinking was
wrong.
Stella was a one hundred percent beautiful woman, and where was Nathan’s cold treatment of her? On the contrary, he always worried about leaving her behind, so his gaze occasionally fell on her body.
This family of three was really an extremely aesthetic scene.
Nathan knew that Stella didn’t like everyone being in that environment, and Liam didn’t like following him everywhere either, so when he started to get busy, he directed them.
“Take Liam out for a bite to eat.”
Stella knew he was thinking of them, so she nodded and pulled Liam out of his embrace.
“Liam, let’s get something to eat.”
She took Liam to the long front table and let him sit down.
Liam, sit here first. Mom’s going to get some food.”
Stella picked up a few things, then brought them back to Liam, and this time she heard applause, she turned her head to look. It turned out that Nathan was representing the Collins family to make a speech.
Nathan had always in a boastful person, he also had some capital, no matter what his background looked like, he was considered one of the best, and although he was born into a family with a golden cradle, he had gradually come to accept and learn about the Collins family business. In these ten years, in his hands, the Collins company had become more and more splendid.
A glass of champagne appeared in front of Stella, she was startled and raised her head. When she looked clearly at what was in front of her, she suddenly had a sort of icy sensation all over her body.
