Chapter 252

"I knew it! You really are the kindest, Jules. Bringing this little guy over was the right call. Look how well-behaved he is. You won't regret keeping him." "Enough already." Julia shot her a look, annoyed by the chatter. Stella shut up instantly. Cradling the golden retriever, Julia walked to her office. Stella trailed after her. She tried to hold back but finally blurted out, "Since you're keeping him, why not give him a name?" Once a pet had a name, it was harder to send it away. Stella was calculating. Julia stroked the puppy's fluffy little head. "A name, huh?" "Yeah! Do you have any ideas?" Stella's eyes lit up with anticipation. Julia lowered her gaze, studying the small animal in her arms for a long while before finally saying, "His eyes are bright like the stars. Let's call him Nova." "Nova? That's adorable. Hear that, buddy? That's your name now. Are you happy with it?" Stella grinned and reached out to tug Nova's floppy ears. "Don't mess with him. He needs to rest."
