Crossroads

Chapter 87

After Stephanie and George returned to Wellington Villa, the servants prepared dinner for them. Attending the wedding put them in a heavy mood and made them lose their appetite. As a result, Stephanie ate some food casually and went back to the bedroom.

She went to the closet to pack her pajamas and planned to rest for a while before taking a bath.

When Stephanie packed her pajamas, she noticed there was a circle of faint bruises on her right wrist, which was caused by Kevin’s grip on her just now.

She thought of his angry and hopeless look just now, and her heart felt a little heavy.

Stephanie didn’t know whether it was because Kevin’s emotions infected her or because she knew the bad things Dominick had done.

“How cruel he is!‘ she thought.

If Dominick hadn’t happened to be in Aurorastra and couldn’t be contacted, George would have been furious at him on the spot.

While Stephanie was wondering what Dominick was doing in Aurorastra, the cell phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.

Stephanie was stunned for a moment. She threw the pajamas back into the closet and ran over to answer the call.

“Steffi, are you okay now?”

Stephanie looked a little surprised and disappointed and called the other party softly, “Auntie.”

“What’s wrong? You’re in a bad mood?” Diana could perceive the disappointment in her tone.

She immediately comforted her. “Is it because Kevin and Claire are having a wedding today? Steffi, don’t be sad. That bastard doesn’t know how good you are. Let’s find a better one.”

Diana had lived in a nursing home for most of the past two years due to her illness, but she learned about the wedding held by the Nelson family from watching TV and reading magazines. The more she knew, the angrier she became. She was also very worried about Stephanie.

Stephanie wasn’t very angry and murmured, “Actually, Kevin is not a very evil person.” Compared to Dominick, Kevin even could be considered a good person.

“Steffi, do you still like Kevin?”

Hearing what Stephanie said, Diana immediately became nervous. “Steffi, listen to me. A family like the Nelson family is beyond our reach, and we don’t care about it.
