Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 105 She Loves Him and Vice Versa

Yulia didn’t even tell Stella that she was coming to Murdough. By that alone, Stella was able to formulate an opinion about her. However, she didn’t let it show. No matter how innocent she was, she could be conniving when necessary.

Both women walked in front, while Miles and Matthew followed behind. Miles’ eyes were glued to Stella, so he tripped and almost fell when he was going down the stairs, which prompted him to curse under his breath.

Seeing that, Matthew chuckled. “Miles, are you getting old?”

“Well, that’s none of your business.” There was pride in his attractive baritone voice, which made Stella’s heart palpitate. No matter how many times she heard his voice, she was attracted to it as much as when she first met him.

A normal person uttering a curse word would seem unsightly, but someone of Miles’ status was an exception, for he rarely sweared. When combined with his voice, it made him sound like, in Stella’s opinion, a sexy ruffian who was both cheeky and domineering.

Meanwhile, when Stella was chatting with Yulia, she questioned why the latter was in Murdough. Yulia told her she came on a business trip, which coincided with the ball that was open to the public, hence her attendance. Her reply was fairly diplomatic.

After they parted ways, Matthew headed to a hotel, and so did Yulia. Stella was left walking alone with a spring in her step, but nonetheless seemed a bit bored while holding her handbag. All the while, Miles followed her without a word. From time to time, their shadows overlapped and parted when they passed under the street lights.

While Stella wasn’t intending to stop, Miles was already itching to make a move on her. “Aren’t you going to stop?” he asked begrudgingly from behind her. While he had seen her seductive side, this was going overboard.

“I need to go home.” She turned around to tell him with an innocent tone.

Upon hearing that, Miles hurried over to hug her. “Which house are you going back to? Do you really think you get to go home after fanning a flame within me?”

They weren’t too far away from Miles’ branch office, which meant they were close to his dwelling. Therefore, he carried her in his arms before walking back home in strides. Stella didn’t weigh a lot, so he had no problem carrying her all the way home before putting her down.

Miles’ voice was hoarse when he pushed her against the door. In a flash, he removed her clothes and carried her into the shower. The moment when they saw each other naked was when their hearts were closest to
