Chapter 682

With those final words, she didn’t afford Matthew another look and raced away.

Matthew yearned to chase after her, but his feet felt as if they were weighed down by tons.

He had foreseen this possibility, yet when it manifested, the emotional toll was far more excruciating than he had ever imagined.

That evening, Stella returned to Seamarsh with Clint alone.

“Did Maverick renege on his promise as an act of spite because you suggested divorce?”

“No…” Stella faltered, struggling to find the right words, her head throbbing.
