Chapter 626

"Stella."

The single word made Jaxon's breath catch in his throat.

He knew why she was calling. It wasn't just about an apology-there was more to

it.

He wanted her to get his mom out. He'd even confronted Blaise Larkin about it. Who would've thought that a father-his own flesh and blood-could be so cold, so heartless? Now, Blaise spent all his time and energy on his new family.

And Stella's indifference right now was the last straw. All the self-control Jaxon had left snapped. "Stella, she's your mom. That woman from outside has taken her place. You're really okay just watching this happen-"

"The one who let that woman take her place was Ursula," Stella replied, her voice light, almost bored.

Jaxon clenched his jaw. "I know it was Ursula. That's why I kicked her out of the Larkin house."

"With her health, you know she won't last long out there. She's paid more than enough for what she did, don't you think?"

"Isn't that enough to make things right for you?"

He sounded desperate, as if kicking Ursula out was some grand gesture he'd done for Stella's sake.

Stella just snorted. "Whether I'm satisfied or not isn't your concern, is it?"

"You-"
