Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 2103

Stella sat in a worn-out armchair, her mind wandering as she looked out over a desolate stretch of North American borderlands. This place was poor and chaotic, not unlike the Wild West she'd read about in dusty old books. It was the perfect hideout for someone like her, someone who needed to disappear for a while.

Dave knew this area like the back of his hand, and she felt safe here, away from trouble. But no matter how secure she felt, a wild idea kept flickering in her mind -she wanted to have Beck's child. She wanted Beck to remember her forever.

She had always been like a street rat, scurrying through life, secretly admiring Beck, the golden boy who seemed to have it all. It was foolish, she knew. Her affection would only bring him trouble. But for once, she wanted to be reckless. Dave was right; maybe she was just fooling herself, but she couldn't help it.

She lowered her lashes, her fingers absently playing with the bottle of pills. "Dave, just think of me as crazy," she said with a wry smile. "I really do like Beck."

Her words were tinged with resignation, a hint of defiance in her voice. "Hopelessly in love. I don't even know why. Maybe it's karma. I've always seen men as meal tickets, using them to get by. But Beck is different."

When you love someone, you just know they're unlike anyone else.

Dave was at a loss for words. He opened his mouth, then closed it, glancing at Stella's frail form. He sighed. "As long as you know what you're doing. I can't stop you, but there's no guarantee you'll even get pregnant."
