Neville withdrew his gaze. "No, | didn't expect you to be so concerned about Marvin."

Stella smiled. "Mr. Connolly, anyone would be concerned if you offered them a million dollars."

Abby interrupted from the side, "Exactly, Mr. Connolly. You don't need to offera million. Just a hundred

thousand, and I'd treat Marvin like royalty."

Neville chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Alright, I'll ensure all the details about Marvin are sent to

you, Ms. Cameron."

He glanced at Marvin. "Before we go, I'd like to talk with Marvin."

Sensing the moment, Stella said, "I'll wait for Marvin downstairs."

With that, she and Abby left the hospital room, thoughtfully closing the door behind them.

Once they were gone, Neville raised an eyebrow and asked Marvin, "Are you sure it's her?"

More animated, Marvin nodded earnestly. "Yes, it's her. | want her to be my mom."

Neville scratched his chin thoughtfully. "If it were any other woman, it might be easier. Money could sort it out

even if she had a husband and kids. But this woman is married to Haynes. It won't be easy."

Marvin insisted stubbornly, "I don't care. | want her as my mom!"

"Timing is everything," Neville laughed. "Six months ago, it might've been impossible, but now, there's a good

chance."

"In the past half-year, what Haynes has done for his ‘first crush' has becpublic knowledge. His judgment and

that of his son seem uncannily similar. Even his kid favors this ‘first crush.""

"Now, Stella's living on her own." Neville looked down at Marvin, "This is your opportunity. I've set the stage.

Now, it's up to you."

Marvin's face showed none of a child's innocence. He nodded resolutely, "I'll do my best to win her over!"

"That's the spirit." Neville ruffled his hair with a gentle smile. "When you want something, go after it, even if it

requires a bit of cunning. But tell me, what is it about her that you like?"

A while back, Marvin had transferred to a prestigious kindergarten. Within days, he said he liked a woman and

wanted her to be his mom.

When Neville first heard this, he thought it was sscheming woman trying to cozy up to Marvin. After some

investigation, he discovered the woman was Haynes" wife.

She seemed to be a stay-at-hmom, rarely appearing in public. There weren't even any photos of her online.

People knew Haynes was secretly married but had no idea who his wife was.

There had been quite a stir about Haynes and another woman. Many speculated that Haynes' secret wife was

Rachel.

Marvin explained, "I observed them for a few days and noticed the way she looks at her child-so full of warmth.

No other mother gazes at their child quite like that. It madethink that's exactly how a mom should be."

As night fell, Abby dropped Stella off at her apartment. It was already late, and Marvin had fallen asleep in the

backseat.

After parking, Abby watched as Stella carefully carried Marvin out of the car.

"Stella, are you sure you want to care for this kid? | know the pay is good, but | feel his dad isn't someone you

want to cross. If anything happens to this kid, he won't take it lightly."

Stella's expression was calm. "I know."

Abby was confused. "Then why are you doing it?"

Now that the initial allure of the money had faded, Abby had many concerns. If the boy were fine, all would be

fine. But if anything happened, Stella could be in serious trouble.

Stella sighed softly, "Abby, | just want to find something to keep myself busy."
