Chapter 1310: Chapter 1313

Soon afterward, Angelina found out that Stella’s surgery was successful, and she rushed over to visit her.

She then arrived with Henry Moore following closely behind her.

Angelina seemed to pay little attention to him. She just sat down in front of Stella and sighed. “I’ve been so worried about you! I was relieved to find out that you were safe, but it turned out that you’d gone blind!

I’m so glad everything turned out well in the end. Oh… when will Elias and Emma be back?”

She had been babysitting the kids for a while and had grown quite attached to them.

“They won’t be back for a while still,” Stella replied, smiling. “Once my eyes have healed completely, I’ll bring them home as soon as I can. In the meantime, though, I’m sure the Garcia family is taking very good care of them, so don’t worry.”

“That’s good to know,” said Angelina. She was just about to say something else when she noticed that Henry was listlessly toying with her hair.

“Stay away from me!” she snapped, swatting his hand away from her.

“How long are you going to stay mad at me?” asked Henry as he looked at her helplessly. “You know well enough that I’ve cut all contact with Guinevere Cohen!”

Stella froze a little when she heard the name, hit by a sudden realization of just how far she’d come since everything that had happened to her in the past.

Angelina quickly covered Henry’s mouth and glared at him. How could he not know how inappropriate it is to mention that name? Has he forgotten what happened between Guinevere and Stella? Unbelievable!

Henry took her hand and pulled it down, then gave her a meaningful look. “Don’t worry. Stella is not as fragile as you might think.”

He then glanced at Stella and added, “Am I right?”

The corners of Stella’s mouth twitched. Ignoring his obvious jibe, she merely said, “It looks like you get along with Guinevere really well. You seem to know everything about her. It seems that even the slightest thing about her can’t escape you.”

“Can you not ruin everything for me?” snapped Henry, his face darkening as soon as he heard her. “Do you know how hard it was for me to coax this stubborn woman?”

Angelina completely lost her patience when she heard this and didn’t want him there for a second longer.

She looked downtrodden as if genuinely losing her temper now.

“If you don’t leave now, then I’ll leave myself! I just can’t let you stay here and be an eyesore to Stella!” she yelled.

Sensing that she was serious from her tone, Henry slowly stood up. “Fine.”

He then snatched her handbag and told her, “I’ll be waiting for you outside.”

“Why are you taking my handbag?” she asked as she shot up to her feet.

“I don’t want you sneaking out without me behind my back, leaving me alone out there waiting for you like an idiot. So I’m taking your stuff as collateral so you won’t bail on me.”

“You-”

Angelina was speechless, but she had no other choice but to just watch him as he walked out of the room.

Stella sighed as she observed her friend being visibly upset before she asked her, “What is going on between you and Henry Moore exactly?”

“Nothing,” Angelina replied. “He seems to be pursuing me, though.”

She then casually added, “I’m wondering if there’s something seriously wrong with him. He used to despise me in the past, but as soon as he found out that I have a child, he changed completely and started to follow me around everywhere, trying to woo me…”

She found his behavior very strange indeed, and it completely changed her impression of him. He couldn’t possibly want her because he liked the fact that she had a child, could he?

Or perhaps he had a secret medical condition that made it impossible for him to have his own children, so now that he found out Angelina was a single mother with a child, could he be planning to seduce her so her child would be his?

But none of that made sense to Angelina.

Stella felt conflicted. After a while, she reminded her friend, “Do you remember the woman named Faye that I told you about?”

Angelina paused, then said, “Yeah.”

“They say you look exactly like her… I’m just worried that Henry Moore might use you as a substitute…”

Angelina’s expression changed drastically, but she smiled and tapped her fingers on the table. “Actually, I have considered this, but didn’t they also say that the woman is already dead?”
