Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 516:

Stella didn’t want to go back just yet; otherwise, Emily would bombard her with questions about the red wine on her dress. Instead, she settled into a chair by the corridor.

“No, no. It’s late. It must be quite late back in the country. Why haven’t you fallen asleep yet?”

Damien’s initial excitement suddenly faded.

“Well, I can’t fall asleep. I just wanted to check how you were doing abroad, so I called.” Stella’s voice was so light that it concealed her true feelings.

“I’m doing very well.”

“What did RK do to you? Is everything okay?” Damien’s concern about RK lingered, despite his reluctance to mention him.

“I’m doing well. You don’t need to worry about me.” Stella frowned as memories of the earlier incident resurfaced.

“That’s good to hear. I’ll be home for the holidays, so you have to treat me to a big meal,” Damien said, sensing Stella’s desire to avoid the topic of RK.

About half an hour later, Damien urged Stella to get some rest. Reluctantly, she agreed and hung up the phone.

After ending the call, Damien felt as if he were dreaming. He pinched his face hard and winced at the pain, realizing he was indeed awake. It was Stella who had just called him, and he rolled happily on the bed.

Stella stood up and made her way to the dormitory.

Upon returning, she found Emily fast asleep. Grabbing her pajamas, she headed to the bathroom. Her phone had died, so she switched it off and placed it on the table to charge.

Meanwhile, RK, who was at Sophia’s place, had tried calling Stella several times, but all his attempts went unanswered.

He called the RK Mansion, but when they answered, they informed him that Stella hadn’t returned. They assumed she was with RK, so they didn’t bother to call her.
