Chapter 18

Chapter 18:.

Stella didn’t understand why he wanted her to change seats. But thinking about those big blue eyes, she sighed resignedly. She had no choice.

After settling into the car, she looked at RK. Sitting next to him, she suddenly felt a shiver run down her spine. A wave of fear swept over her.

RK handed her a paper bag that he had placed in the car and said, “Change your clothes.”

When he finished speaking, the partition of the car lifted up, separating the back seat from the front seat. Thus, the space became smaller and it seemed that only the two of them were alone inside the car.

“Huh?”

Stella looked at the paper bag on her lap. The logo was clearly visible and she could feel the dress inside. Earlier, in the banquet hall, when she had nearly fallen over, she had spilled red wine all over her clothes.

Since she was dressed in white, it seemed very obvious....

Stella clutched the bag tightly. She looked at the man and didn’t know what he wanted to do. Sending her home and giving her clothes, were these really things a boss would do for an employee?

She handed the bag back to him, placing it between the two of them. “No, thank you. I’ll be home soon,” she said in a cold tone.

“I said change it,” he repeated, his tone neutral but charged with undeniable menace.

Still, Stella refused, in a firm voice. “I’ve already told you, I don’t need it. I’m not going to change.”

And even more? He was still sitting inside the car? Did he want her to change clothes in front of him? Just dream, Stella thought.

“Do you want me to do it for you?”

His voice was cold and, when Stella looked into his face, it seemed a little frightening. It was as if he was going to rip her skin to shreds if she didn’t obey.

But Stella was not one to back down easily. She glared at him angrily.

L푎t푒st ch푎pt푒rs in gαl푛ovels.cøm “Who forces someone to change clothes like that, what right do you have to order me around?” Stella turned to him, boring her beautiful blue eyes into his. “Rene Kingston! Tell me, what are you trying to do?”

His voice was cold and full of dissatisfaction. “It was your fiancée who tried to trip me up, but you supported me in front of her.

Not only that...you even bought me clothes.”

He scoffed, a smirk on his lips. “We’re already divorced and you’re about to marry Sophia.

Don’t you think helping your ex-wife in front of your future wife and buying her clothes is a little ridiculous?” What did he mean by all this?

They were divorced, why didn’t he let her live her life peacefully? Why did he keep showing up in front of her?

There was no need to leave any feelings in his heart. Now that he was about to marry Sophia, why did he want to drag her back to the France Branch? Did he want her to see him get married?

RK did not respond and looked away. His deep blue eyes were fixed outside the window, as if he hadn’t heard what she was saying.

Stella clenched her fist and spoke coldly, “I hope Mr. RK knows very well what he is. He will soon become my brother-in-law; I hope he remembers that.”

Shortly after she finished speaking, the black Rolls Royce pulled up in front of her house.

Stella grabbed her purse and quickly got out of the car, practically running. Because... she didn’t understand this man at all. He was about to marry Sophia, so why was he doing all this for her? Why was he giving her false hope?

Being around him like this, Stella would prefer to stay in France, far away from him. Then she would not see him, nor would she have any illusions about him.

She had tried hard to tell her heart to stay away from him, not to think about him. She didn’t want to repeat the mistakes she had made years before.

On the balcony...

Ever since Adrian had learned to walk, he always went to the balcony, sat down and waited for Stella to come home. That way, he could see his darling as soon as she arrived. Today was no different.

Adrian took his small stool, placed it on the balcony and sat on it, waiting for his beloved. Although they lived on the tenth floor, he wasn’t afraid at all.

As he waited, he saw a black Rolls Royce pull up in front of his building. He had seen this car before...

“This car has appeared in front of our house two days in a row, bringing my darling home. Could this man be her suitor?”

wondered Adrian.

With that thought, the little boy pulled out his childish cell phone and started taking pictures of the car underneath. He was determined to ask his aunt about the man who was chasing his darling!

As he was about to take some pictures of the car, the black window of the Rolls Royce, which was closed before, suddenly rolled down. The man’s handsome face appeared before him.

It seemed that the man knew of Adrian’s presence and realized that he was taking pictures. Because when he rolled down the window, the man was looking in his direction. His gaze was so sharp that it almost gave Adrian a heart attack.

Adrian quickly decided to hide, but in his haste he forgot that he was still sitting on the stool. As a result, he fell backwards, landing on his butt with a painful thud.

“Ouch!”

He groaned, rubbing his sore butt.

After picking up his phone and sitting back down on the stool, ready to take more pictures, he realized that the car had already disappeared.

“Adrian, my baby... Where are you?”

As soon as Stella got home, she started calling her baby. Just looking at her sweet face he could forget all his unhappiness.

Adrian heard his darling’s voice, rubbed his sore bottom and went out to the balcony. But since he was still a little sore, he frowned and said, “Honey... you’re back.”

Stella heard her baby’s voice and asked, “What’s the matter, my child, aren’t you happy?”

Adrian rubbed his sore butt and said, “It’s nothing. I just saw your colleague from the balcony. He brought you home again.”

Before she left, the car windows had already been closed. After sending her back, he left immediately. That’s why Stella had never thought that Adrian would see RK.
