章節 70: He Is Going To Be Upset

"You can do as you please." He added looking directly into her eyes before he headed out of the study.

Stella stood rooted to the ground even after he had left. She pouted as she stomped her foot on the ground.

"And now he's going to be upset." She thought out loud as she made her way to his room.

"Adam?" She called his name knocking on the door of his room. "Adam?" After calling his name a couple of times and not getting any response, she turned around and made her way to her own room.

She knew that he was in his room but was ignoring her deliberately. Lying down in her bed she stared at the ceiling where a small crystal chandelier was hanging down and was dimly lit, giving out a warm pale white lighting to its surroundings.

Her mind was a mess right now. She knew she couldn't prolong her stay at his place as she felt it wasn't right to do so. But her mind was in a dilemma when she looked at his face and his expressions when she had said no.

"Ughhhh!" She let out a frustrated groan. 'I don't know what I should do. But I just can't stand seeing him sad.' She thought to herself.

Later in the afternoon, she went down to the dining hall for lunch thinking that she might be able to see him and talk to him. But to her misery, she was the only one at the dining table.

"Uncle Rob! Where's Adam? Isn't he going to have his lunch?" She asked the old butler when he was about to leave after serving her food.

"Young Master said he will be having his lunch and dinner in his room." The old butler replied politely. He could sense that something wasn't right when his Young Master had asked him to serve his lunch and dinner in his room. 'They are probably having a fight.' He thought to himself and excused himself. He still had to serve lunch to his Young Master.

-----------------------

"Is there anything you want to say?" Adam asked him when he saw that he was still standing even after serving his food. It wasn't like him.

"Ms. Stella was asking for you earlier when I was serving her food." The old butler replied.

"Okay! You can go now Uncle Rob." Adam gave him a soft smile. The old butler wanted to help the couple but he could only oblige to his Young Master.

Stella decided to have her dinner alone in her room since she knew that Adam wouldn't be showing up in the dining room.

Just as she was about to finish her meal, there was a knock on her door. Thinking that it might be Adam, she sprinted towards the door and opened it.

"Finally….." Her words got stuck in her mouth when she saw the old butler standing in the hallway holding a tray in his hands having two coffee mugs placed on it.

"Young Master is waiting for his coffee on the rooftop." The old butler said as he extended the tray towards her.

Stella didn't say anything for a while as she looked at the old butler with her eyes widened in shock.

"Thank you so much." She thanked the old butler with a wide smile on her face after she came out of her daze as she took the tray from him.

"It's my pleasure." The old butler replied politely with a faint smile as he watched her retreating figure.

-----------------------

"I thought you were going to take forever." Adam spoke up sensing someone standing behind him. He was lying down on the grass with his eyes closed.

Stella quietly walked next to him and sat down on the grass, placing the tray before her.

As if sensing someone sitting next to him, Adam opened his eyes and turned his head to his left only to find a pair of hazel eyes staring back at him.

"What are you doing here?" He asked turning his face away from her and closing his eyes again.

"I brought you coffee." Stella replied still looking at him. She decided not to tell him that Uncle Rob has given it to her. She didn't want the poor butler to get a scolding.

"I just changed my mind. I don't want to have some coffee." Adam replied, placing a hand on his his eyes as to block her view.

"How long are you going to stay angry at me? You know I don't like it." Stella added meekly.

"I said I don't want to have coffee anymore. You can leave." He spoke up without even looking at her.

His eyebrows furrowed when he didn't get any response from her. Before he could ask her once more to leave, he heard a sniffling sound which made his entire body freeze.

'Is she crying?' He thought to himself. 'Crap! You took it too far Adam.' He scolded himself. He threw all of his rationality out of the window when he heard more sniffling sounds and got up instantly.
