Chapter 249

Chapter 249:

It wasn’t just about Sophia, but about her mother as well. If David hadn’t fooled around with Isabella and had Sophia, their family might have been harmonious and happy.

Instead, everything became complicated. At the end of the day, Stella didn’t just resent Sophia and Isabella—she also held a grudge against her father.

After all, everything stemmed from David. He had shattered their family when he brought Isabella and Sophia into their lives.

Living in the Richard family felt like living in someone else’s home, watching them live happily while she...

At the same time, she faced endless provocations from Sophia and Isabella. Being young, she was defenseless back then.

Now that she was older, Stella wanted to stay as far away from Sophia as possible. She didn’t want anything to do with that woman anymore. But fate seemed to enjoy playing cruel tricks on her.

It was one thing for Sophia and RK to have a connection, but now she was caught in the middle. The relationships between everyone involved were already complicated enough, and now she was being dragged into it.

Sophia had come to the RK mansion that day—who knew if she would show up again?

As Stella spoke, she pushed RK’s hand away from her ankle. “Don’t touch me! If you like her so much, go to her. What are you doing here?” She turned her head to one side, not wanting to look at him.

She had nearly forgotten about everything until RK mentioned Sophia again, reigniting her anger. This man publicly parades around with Sophia, refuses to acknowledge our marriage, and yet he’s here acting like he cares?

Her frustration grew. He looked as fake as ever, and the more Stella thought about it, the more hypocritical he seemed.

“Don’t you have a great relationship with Sophia? Why don’t you ask her instead? Didn’t she tell you everything already?”

Stella’s words were laced with bitterness. She lifted her wet hand and shoved RK’s suit jacket, adding, “Don’t stay here!”

gαℓησν풆ℓs.com makes every story special The two of them didn’t have much of a relationship to begin with. They both knew their marriage wasn’t meant to last, so why were they acting like this?

“I have nothing to do with her,” RK stated suddenly, his voice as cold and emotionless as ever.

His words were hard to read, and Stella couldn’t tell what he was thinking. He was always so distant and enigmatic.

Stella felt anger rising inside her. Just days ago, RK and Sophia had been seen together in public, even making the news. Their connection was the topic of gossip, and here he was, claiming he had nothing to do with her?

She couldn’t understand it. They had been married for months, yet the world didn’t know about their relationship. RK was still being seen as a single man, while his close association with Sophia looked like a scandalous secret.

So, why did he care so much about her going out? Why did she need his permission to do anything, when he didn’t even consult her about his public appearances with Sophia?

It was completely unfair!

Stella fell silent, her frustration bubbling beneath the surface.

RK spoke again, breaking the quiet tension in the bathroom. “Sophia didn’t tell me anything because there was no need. I have nothing to do with her.”

He repeated himself, but this time, his tone seemed almost explanatory.

In Stella’s ears, there was an indescribable feeling stirring. She didn’t know whether to believe him or not.

Could it be true that he had nothing to do with Sophia?

But what about the things Sophia had said earlier, or the countless news reports showing them together? What was really going on?

Stella wanted to ask, but part of her didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of knowing she cared. Instead, she replied coolly, “Whatever. Sophia told me that we won’t last long anyway.”

She borrowed Sophia’s words to shift the blame back to RK. If he had any intentions of ending things, she wanted to know.

The room fell into silence again. Ten seconds passed, then twenty, with no response.

The bathroom grew quieter and quieter, the tension hanging in the air. RK stood there, still not moving, not answering, just waiting quietly.

Stella glanced sideways at him, her heart pounding. What was he thinking? Why wasn’t he leaving?
