Chapter 2092

No sooner had she hung up with Dave than she heard a noise outside.

Continuing her chat, she wandered over to open the door.

And there, like a scene straight out of a movie, stood Beck, a cigarette dangling from his lips, its smoke weaving mysteries around him. What was he thinking?

Stella froze, words deserting her, baffled by his sudden appearance.

Stella's mouth opened and closed, still at a loss for words, but she followed him.

Entering the living room, she saw Maja engrossed in a video game, an idle controller suggesting Beck had been playing too.
