"The entire wealthy circle in Seattle knew how much Stella Carlson loved Aaron Malone. People watched the childhood sweethearts grow from inexperience to maturity, finally getting married in a grand wedding ceremony.

On the day of the wedding, despite the alliance between the Carlson and Malone families, the groom ran away. Stella knew that Aaron had rushed to L.A. to take care of his ex-girlfriend, who had attempted suicide.

Unwilling to become the laughingstock of all Seattle, she gritted her teeth and dialed the number of her adversary, her tone almost commanding, "Ethan, come and marry me now. This is your only chance for revenge."

On the other end, Ethan Powers raised an eyebrow as he gripped his phone, staring at the floor littered with cigarette butts. "Did the groom run away?" he asked. "My darling."

In the evening, Stella was simmering soup in the kitchen.


After her grandfather's passing, Troy and Linda politely declined Stella's suggestion to continue staying at the Carlson family's villa and returned to their hometown. Since then, they frequently sent local chestnuts and red dates to Stella. In the first few days, they even sent a few pieces of wild ginseng, telling her to take good care of her health, which left her touched.


Putting glutinous rice, red dates, and peeled chestnuts into the chicken stomach, Stella cleaned the wild ginseng Troy had sent, poured water into the pot, added a spoonful of salt, and started cooking the soup over low heat.

A few minutes later, Stella came out of the kitchen, noticing that a comedy was playing on TV, directed by the same director as the one they had watched together last time.
