Hearing that Vasily (aka King) is asking Stella about Sarah's birthday, Stella's alertness went up by few levels, but she kept her cool façade while responding: "If I can make it, I will go there."
"When are you leaving? I will send her a present.", Vasily said like he didn't notice Stella's cool attitude.
"No need to send her presents. You should know that you are one of the people she does not want to see."
Vasily chuckled. "People change, Milena. She does not want to see me one day, and tomorrow I might be her favorite Uncle. You are the proof that with the right motivation, people WILL change."
Stella was cold so far, but after hearing his words she became icy. "You are wrong. I didn't change. I was forced into something. There is a difference, but you would not know that even if I draw it for you."
"Milena… Soon, you will realize that we are both doing what we believe is the best for the family."
