So, the owner of Wave Residence was now a venerable age of sixty-six? And Stella was with someone like that?

Yorick's breathing became more labored. Just as Orion was about to say something, his phone started buzzing. It was a call from Cloudia.

Orion glanced at Yorick, "Sir, it's Mrs. Larkin."

"Take it," Yorick muttered almost instinctively.

He could barely hear his own voice, nor did he catch what Orion had said afterward. All he could think about was Stella possibly being with a sixty-six-year-old man. Was she really degrading herself for a man?

Orion answered the call, "Mrs. Larkin."

Orion looked back at Yorick, whose expression was growing darker by the second. Before he could reply to Cloudia, Yorick pushed the car door open and stepped out.
