Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 2093

She remained in place long after Maja had left until Beck came over, glancing at the floral arrangement she had designed and grimacing.

That snapped Stella back to reality. Looking at Beck's handsome face, she felt a sharp sting, especially on her cheeks, as if she had been slapped repeatedly.

Her pettiness, her darkness, and yet she dared to harbor such feelings.

No wonder she felt like she was on borrowed time. People like her belonged in a darker place.
