Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 121:

“There’s no need!” Stella quickly grabbed the bag of medicine from Tristan’s hand.

“It’s getting late, Tristan. You should go back. You still have to work tomorrow. I’ll ask Emily to help me apply the medicine later,” she said, trying to make it clear that his presence was no longer needed.

She shot a pleading look at Emily, hoping her friend would take the hint and cooperate.

But Emily had no intention of helping. She stretched lazily and said with a fake yawn, “Oh, I have work tomorrow too.

I’ve been worried about you all day, Stella. I’m so tired. I’ll go to bed now. I’ll leave the medicine thing to you and Mr. Davis…”

“Emily…” Stella grabbed her friend’s hand, trying to prevent her from escaping. How could Emily be this shameless? If she had just called the police earlier, none of this would have happened!

As Adrian’s godmother and her best friend, how hard could it be to help apply some medicine? Stella could see right through her—she was setting her up with Tristan on purpose!

“Emily, if you don’t help me apply this medicine, I’m not putting it on tonight!” Stella said, trying to guilt her friend into staying.

The two of them exchanged exaggerated winks and silent glares, but Emily wasn’t budging.

In the end, it was Tristan who broke the standoff. “In that case, I’ll leave. Miss Emily, I’ll leave Stella in your capable hands.”

He gave Stella one last glance, and with a sense of finality, turned to go. Tristan would never force her into anything, no matter what.

Emily, now that Tristan had spoken, didn’t protest further. She nodded. “Alright.”
