Chapter 110: Stella's loyal friends

Amy and Stella froze in their little moment. The former slowly moved up to face the older woman who stared at her with a hint of shock. Stella could not believe it, she never thought a moment like this would come. Did Amy really just call her 'mom'? Her face started to light up from joy when she heard it again.

"Mom."

But Amy's lips didn't move. She saw the disappointment in the older woman as they broke the embrace and finally turned to find an irritated Nora staring at them.

"Mom, what do you think you're doing?"

"What now, Nora?" Stella let out an exhausted sigh.

"Did Dad put you up to this? Dad!" Nora snapped in her father's direction.

Richard stood up and went to his wife. He bent down so his face was inches away from hers. "I'm going to get some coffee", he told her to which she nodded before kissing her forehead.
