Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 2093

"I've got a flight tonight, heading back to Greenfield with my husband. I hope next time we meet, we can be friends."

Stella stood frozen, unable to even muster a goodbye.

Compared to Maja's openness, she felt like a rat living in the shadows, unworthy of the light.

She even recognized her own pettiness, a pettiness so profound it was almost unbearable to face.

She couldn't bring herself to meet Maja's gaze, afraid of finding disgust there.

Truth be told, she admired Maja and longed for her friendship. But the truth had been exposed, making such a wish pure fantasy.

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

"Ugly."

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.
