"Stella had matured so much," Duchess Amelia said with teary eyes and Henry rubbed her shoulder to assure her that everything that just happened was real and their children were truly back.
They were surprised when they realized that Stella did not recognize the princes which was why she spoke with Francis first instead of greeting them. She had been so busy all the time that she did not even have the chance to check the portraits of the princes.
Henry realized that his daughter was indeed a grown-up lady now when she flattered Prince Fabian. She had grown to recognize what attractive men were and she even flirted confidently, perhaps without realizing it.
Everyone was surprised when Prince Aiden suddenly hugged Stella. If it was another man, Henry would have grabbed the man already and beat him up. Most especially since he dared to hold her right in front of him.
