Chapter 283: Stay Out Of Trouble's Way

"If they are, then we definitely are talking about the same person." The corners of Stella's lips turned up in a wide smile before she turned her attention towards her husband. "I need you to take her to Lillian, like right now.""What?" •Adam• raised her eyebrows as he shook his head right away. "There's no way I'll leave you here on your own.""Come on! It's not like I will be alone here. I have Mr. Parker to look after the things and make sure that the press conference goes smoothly. And I have those bodyguards from the base to protect me. It's not like something could happen to me among all these people." Stella spoke up and let out a frustrated groan. She didn't mind him being protective of her, but at times he would just become too much."I am not taking any risks with your." He stood his ground and refused to give into her pleas. "You don't get to have a say in this matter. I will never take a risk with your security, especially not now that you are…" His words trailed off as he managed to stop himself from stating the matter of her pregnancy out loud."But, it's important that she meets Lillian." Stella spoke up once again and she tried to convince him to say yes."A matter can only be important for me if it concerns you, so no buts. I am not leaving you here alone." He refused to listen to her reasons as he folded his hands across his chest."Umm… guys?" Elena interrupted their back and forth banter as she couldn't keep her mouth shut any longer. "It's fine if you just tell me as to where I can find her. I will just grab a taxi." She spoke up in a relaxed manner. For her, the more important matter was to find her way to Lillian. She couldn't care any less as to how she would reach her."No! I am not letting you go alone. Moreover, if she really is with Blake right now, someone needs to be there with you. Someone who knows the place and it's people around. Or else they won't let you place even a single step inside the premises." Stella shook her head in a no as she explained it to her. Turning her attention back to her stubborn husband, she tried to coax him into saying yes."You wanted to know why I was asking you all those? And how does she know Lilly?" Stella asked him. "Because Lillian is her step sister, or at least that's what I think so far. But even if there's the slightest chance of my doubts coming true, then Lillian will have a family. Of it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have asked you to leave me here on my own.""What?" •Adam• question her as his eyebrows shot up. He shifted his gaze from his woman to the other lady who was giving him a forced smile and then back to his wife with his jaw hanging low in utter shock. 'STEP SISTER!' The words echoed in his mind as he refused to believe them. From what he knew about Lillian, she didn't have any family. From where did this step sister of hers popped up now."How are you sure that she isn't lying?" He asked Stella, giving the other lady a skeptical look. His hard to get self was starting to resurface as he kept the lady a scrutinizing gaze. Blake was like his family. The mere reason was enough for him to be protective of any woman who was Blake's life partner."I have my own reasons for trusting her. Moreover, she was sent here by Carston." Stella answered him before Elena could say anything in response. "He was the one who told her that she might find her lost step sister here. But like you said, they cancelled the plan last minute." She stared into his eyes intently and pursed her lips in a pout.After staying quiet for a minute, •Adam• let out a tired sigh. "You won't back out, will you?" He shook his head helplessly after finally tearing his gaze away from her face. "I would have felt better with leaving you here if Katherine and Scott would have been here." He mumbled under his breath."It's not their fault that Scott had to leave for Amsterdam yesterday. And you know how inseparable those two are." Stella let out a low chuckle. She wanted to hug her worrying husband tightly, but they were still in the hall and it was better to refrain from doing anything which would give them away."I know." He exhaled out another tired sigh before turning his attention back to Elena. "I will drive you there." His words made the woman to smile brightly as she lightly jumped in her spot in excitement. He shook his head in helplessness. He wouldn't have given into his wife's pleas if it wasn't for the fact that Lillian and Blake were back at the base. There was no way she would be allowed to step anywhere near the abandoned mansion, let alone inside.Shifting his attention back to his lady, he narrowed his eyes. "I will come back as soon as I drop your friend here off at the mansion. You better behave yourself till then and stay out of trouble's way." He flicked her forehead lightly."Yess, Boss." She replied in a low voice and bobbed her head up and down like an obedient wife."Good!" He exclaimed as a faint smile embraced his lips. "And no need to tire yourself or your mind out. If the questions coming from reporters become too much for you to handle, just ask Parker to take care of it for you." He added with a smile, only to get a nod response. He knew it was useless to give her any instructions because she would do as she liked."Now off you two go." She ordered them in a firm tone to which the other two people only nodded. "Drive safe." With one last instruction to her husband, Stella shooed them away. Before she began to follow •Adam's• tracks, Elena didn't forget to engulf Stella in a bear hug and muttered a low thanks next to her ear.******Join on discord: https://discord.gg/jgP7DmsIf you are reading the story on some other site besides W e b n o v e l. com, then the content is stolen.
