Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 596:

Adrien knew Stella was frightened, but the hot spring wasn’t very deep, so he didn’t understand why Stella wouldn’t come down. She shook her head and sat still, soaking her feet in the water. “All right.”

Adrian looked at Stella with disappointment before stepping aside. RK approached Stella. “Come down. The water is very shallow.”

RK understood why Stella was hesitant. He wanted her to overcome her fear. Even if she didn’t learn how to swim, she shouldn’t be afraid of the hot spring.

Stella continued to shake her head, frightened by memories of what had happened last year, especially when she saw Adrien. She recalled falling into the sea while pregnant with Adrian.

RK, seeing her refusal, was determined to encourage her. “I will hold you. Don’t be afraid. Come down,” he urged, refusing to give up.

Emily observed from a distance, aware of Stella’s fear of water but confident that it wasn’t deep. She could stand and let the water reach her shoulders.

When Stella noticed Emily approaching, she mustered her courage and slowly supported herself, reaching out to RK’s hand as she came down. As she realized it wasn’t that deep, she felt less scared.

Meanwhile, Ruben had been staring at Emily, puzzled by her indifference. He thought that even with his sudden confession, she shouldn’t ignore him.

Emily sensed Ruben’s gaze but pretended not to notice as she swam back and forth. Finally, Ruben decided to approach her.

Emily felt Ruben’s presence and prepared to swim away; however, she was not as fast as he was, and he caught her.
