“Thanks to your good wishes.” She placed the coffee before him.
“You’re not here just to chat, right? What can I do for you?”
“There is a piece of news, actually.” He took a sip of his coffee before continuing, “I’m taking Devyn abroad tomorrow.”
“Abroad?” Stella’s expression turned into a frown.
Slater responded nonchalantly, “Mr. Clark helped connect with an overseas hospital well-versed in her mother’s illness. Devyn wants to reset her life in a new place. Her two brothers will accompany her.”
“That’s good,” Stella murmured softly.
“She felt too awkward to face you, so she sent me to bid you farewell,” Slater explained. Then, he added, “She believes she owes you an apology.”
Stella offered a reassuring smile. “It’s alright. She doesn’t owe me anything. She just made a decision.”
Slater tightened his lips before presenting a gift box to Stella.

“Devyn sent this for you.”
The box was rectangular and wrapped beautifully.
Stella paused briefly before accepting it. “Thank you.”
She could see the tenderness in Slater’s eyes as he spoke of Devyn, and asked, “Are you two together now?”
Slater showed a flicker of surprise and touched his nose, looking sheepish. “I’m sorting out my life and work. When you’re ready to see her again, I can bring her back for a visit Slater’s visit was brief. After handing over the gift, he departed.”
Stella opened the gift box after he left.

She lifted the dress, observing how smoothly the fabric flowed from the left shoulder. The dress was elegantly tailored, with plump shapes and black gauze on one shoulder enhancing its overall quality.
The combination of black and red lent it a rich vibrancy.
The design was impressive.
Stella sighed softly. If Devyn hadn’t made such a choice, she might still be running her online shop, potentially on the brink of fame.
As she was about to return the dress to the box, she noticed a piece of paper tucked inside.
Opening it, she found a note. It read, “Stella, this dress was designed for you. It’s a wedding gift.”
Devyn had penned the message.
“You are a great teacher and friend. I made a mistake this time. I realize I may not deserve your forgiveness, and I won’t ask for it. My hope is that we might become friends again someday.”
