Chapter 1117: He’s Not as Important as You
Vincent Warner furrowed his brows, feeling naturally unable to thank Kai Jacobs."Was it him who brought you over here in the first place?"
Stella Charlie glanced up at him: "What do you mean by ’brought’? He helped me secure a spot to study abroad, I came willingly."
Vincent Warner: "Why did he help you so much? Isn’t it because he likes you? Just because you don’t feel that way doesn’t mean he doesn’t."
Stella Charlie smiled and said, "Actually, I also thought that at first, but then he told me the reason."
"Oh?"
"The one who donated the cornea was his sister."
Vincent Warner fell silent, finally refraining from speaking any words of dissatisfaction about Kai Jacobs, and was somewhat able to understand Kai’s actions.
The matter of Stella Charlie and Vincent Warner’s marriage had already been shared with Kai Jacobs through chat days earlier.
Kai Jacobs always respected Stella Charlie’s choices and decisions, and he wasn’t really surprised that the two of them would reunite, because he always knew Stella carried regrets about their past relationship.
Back then, when he suggested that Stella Charlie leave, he simply felt that her circumstances at the time couldn’t continue as they were, as it would ruin her life.
Now she has become a better version of herself, has matured values, and when looking back at that past relationship, the feeling would be different from before.
Presumably, her choice now, regardless of the outcome, means she wouldn’t ruin her life over Vincent Warner anymore.
But he still hoped the two of them could be together happily, because Stella Charlie had endured enough hardship in the first half of her life.
Vincent Warner stayed with Stella Charlie in Serephina for more than half a month; during this time, except when Stella Charlie was at work, the two were almost inseparable.
That day, like usual, Vincent Warner booked a restaurant and arrived on time to pick Stella Charlie up from work.
"Stella, seeing you and your husband so in love, you should return together, right?" The boss asked as he walked out with Stella Charlie from the company.
Stella Charlie looked off into the distance at Vincent Warner waiting outside the company, and with a light smile, she answered the boss: "We haven’t discussed that issue yet."
In her heart, she had concerns; going back meant she would have to give up her promising job and start over.
If her relationship with Vincent Warner was without problems, she felt she could make some sacrifices for this marriage.
But now she hadn’t gained approval from Vincent Warner’s family yet, and since they were his closest kin, if his mother refused to accept her, she didn’t know what Vincent’s final choice would be.
Nonetheless, these were issues they had to face. She knew Vincent Warner couldn’t stay here with her forever.
The boss smiled and said, "Actually, I wanted to tell you some good news."
Stella Charlie paused, looking at the boss with confusion.
"I’ve been considering expanding into the Chinese market, and I’ve done some preparation work before. Now that you’ve married over there, you can continue working with us."
Upon hearing this, Stella Charlie smiled with relief and joked, "Could it be that you want to expand to China just for me?"
The boss humorously replied, "You’re indeed worth it. You’re a rare talent, and I’m always worried someone might poach you, but hasn’t Mr. Warner already stolen you away?"
"You’re the one paying my salary, you’re more important than him."
"Alright, you two hurry up and go on your date; my new boyfriend has also asked me out to a movie. If it’s good, I’ll recommend it to you."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
After waving goodbye, Stella Charlie walked straight toward Vincent Warner’s car.
