Chapter 61: Dinner (2)

"Stella? How are you related to Rosaline?"

"How do you know her?" Stella replied with a question of her own, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"You haven't answered my question kid. How are you related to her?" Liam repeated his question.

"What's going on?" Adam asked looking at the other two people. "Who's Rosaline?" Adam asked looking at Stella.

"She She was my mother." Stella replied meekly, her eyes still fixed on Liam. "How do you know her name?" Stella asked Liam once again.

"You resemble her a lot. She used to look just like you when we were in college." Liam replied with a fond smile on his face.

"You knew Stella's Mom?" Adam asked him with a baffled expression. 

"Not just her mother, I also knew her father back in the day." Liam replied with a faint smile on his face as his mind drifted back to his college days. 

"What!" Stella exclaimed. "You knew both of my parents?" She asked him with her eyes widened in shock.

"Yeah! They were one of the on-campus famous couples. Moreover, we were good friends. Your parents and me and Martha, my wife, always used to hang out together." He replied.

"Woah! So you guys were like really close friends." Adam interrupted him.

"Yeah! We were like a gang, always hanging out together." Liam replied fondly. "Oh, and guess who else was with us?" He asked looking intently at Adam.

Adam narrowed his eyes at him. "No way." He shook his head sideways with his mouth agape.

Liam nodded slightly as if agreeing with his thoughts.

"So, the other couple that you use to tell me about were Stella's parents?" Adam asked him to which he nodded again.

"Umm.. Am I missing something here?" Stella spoke up, not following where the story was going.

"There were two more people in our gang Stella. They were a couple as well. They were Adam's parents." Liam explained it to her. "All six of us were like inseparable since the first year of our college. We were like the power couples of the campus." 

"You mean my parents knew Adam's parents." She questioned him which was more like a statement, only to get a nod from him in response.

"The world sure is a small place." She said looking at Adam.

"It sure is." Both Adam and Liam spoke in unison.

"The last time we met your parents was when your mother gave birth to you. We even came bearing gifts." Liam fondly spoke to Stella as a picture of a tiny baby girl popped into his mind who was crying nonstop. "But soon after you were born, they suddenly moved out of the city without informing us, and we lost contact after that. Both me and Paul tried to look for them, but no matter what, we couldn't find them." He continued with a sad smile.

"It wasn't until five years back that we finally managed to get hold on a news about them. But we were too late. I am sorry kid." Liam looked at Stella with teary eyes. "Me and Paul tried to look for you as the news only stated about their death, but we couldn't find you, no matter how hard we tried. I didn't give up on the search even after Paul died." 

"Why would you search for her?" Adam interrupted him.

"How can I let my god-daughter face the world all alone? The search is still on, but I will call it off now since I have found you." He replied wiping a tear that has escaped his eyes.

"I am your god-daughter?" Stella was utterly baffled. 

"Not only mine. You were our god-daughter. The three of us were your god-parents. Ethan and Rosaline chose us to be your god-parents the day they found out about your existence sweety. Everyone was so happy that day. But we missed Carolyn a lot that day." He replied to her as his eyes teared up again thinking about his best friends.

"She was your Mom, right?" Stella asked shifting her eyes to Adam. 

"Yeah! She died giving birth to me." Adam replied softly. 

"I am so sorry Adam." Stella said softly squeezing his hand.

"You don't have to be sorry." Adam replied giving her a soft smile.

"We threw a surprise baby shower for your mother." Liam spoke up after a minute. "Guess who was there other than the three of us?" He asked Stella.

"Who?" Stella replied with a question of her own.

"Your boyfriend." Liam replied with a grin.

"What?" 

"What?" 

Both Stella and Adam spoke up at the same time. They turned their heads to look at each other and then looked back at Liam.

"Yes, your boyfriend was there as well. He was around four years old at that time." Liam chuckled looking at the dumbstruck couple sitting beside him.
