Serena Lockwood felt it again. Her little sister had changed. She had become more positive and ambitious, radiating a sunny, dazzling light. Especially after coming out of Carson Wynn's office, she was smiling like a rising sun. It felt as if the Stella Lockwood from their childhood had returned.
That's right. The Stella Lockwood who was spoiled by her big brother and doted on by Mr. Lockwood, the Stella Lockwood who smiled with bold confidence and unabashed pride—she was back.
It was a beautiful sight.
She smiled and gently tapped her sister on the forehead. "Look at you, grinning like a carefree fool. This is just the beginning, but it's a good start... Stella, you're becoming more and more impressive. Your big sis really misjudged you this time. Your instincts were good after all, but the whole process had me on pins and needles... Come here, let your big sis give you a hug. My little girl is finally all grown up..."
Filled with relief and joy, she hugged her little sister.
