Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 119 Throwing a Fit

As a thought crossed her mind, Stella thought, Miles is really something! In just a few days, he managed to settle things with Lizbeth. From the looks of it, the reason Lizbeth tricked me is because she hopes that there will be someone who will provide for her financially in the future. In the first half of her life, she has enjoyed all the wealth, but for the rest of her life, she’ll have to live all alone. Now that she’s entering her autumn years, it’s understandable for her to have insecurities, which results in her acting that way.

“So, there isn’t a video of you?” Stella asked abruptly, as she found it difficult to think straight at the moment.

“No. Even if there is, nothing can be done. I saw the concrete was about to fall off, so I called Zane to go upstairs and check on it, but it can’t prove anything. What’s there to prove? She just heard some rumors and attempted to take you for a ride.” Miles explained in a straightforward manner and continued, “Speaking of which, was it even worth it for you to do that?”

With a bitter smile, Stella said, “Maybe I’m just insensitive, which is why I’m always feeling scared.”

Without saying anything further, Miles continued to drive toward the direction of his branch office.

Initially, Stella was feeling really sleepy, but after asking the few questions that had been troubling her, she suddenly hit upon a thought. We’ve already broken up, and he’s the one who proposed it. Yet, he didn’t say anything about getting back together again. Now that he saved me, what’s the deal?

As soon as the car parked in the basement, she got out of the car and surprisingly didn’t feel as sleepy.

While walking, she staggered and sprained her ankle by accident. Her high heels had fallen off about half a meter away from where she was standing. Gawking at her heels, she stood on one foot and supported herself with one hand against the wall.

When Miles saw that, he walked over to pick up the heels for her. Then, he bent forward and placed the heel next to her.

Pressing her lips together, Stella refused to put it on, as though she was throwing a fit and was upset at someone. Who else could she be upset with?

“Wear it. The floor is chilly,” said Miles. Indeed, the temperature in the basement was much lower compared to the temperature outdoors.

Seeing that Stella didn’t move an inch, Miles kneeled down and grabbed her by the ankle as he forced the shoe on her.

However, Stella was unwilling to cooperate—she was never the type who would give in easily.

As Miles raised his head to glance at Stella, she looked away and ignored him.

“Behave and put it on now,” Miles emphasized once again.

Upon hearing that, Stella could sense the feeling of helplessness from the tone of his voice. Her tears trickled down her cheeks as she was confused of her own emotions, not knowing whether she was feeling wronged for herself or toward Miles.

Sniveling, Stella wasn’t too familiar with this bitter and painful feeling, one she had never experienced before.

All of these emotions which she had never known of, she experienced all of it after knowing Miles.

In the end, Stella gave in. After putting on the shoe for her, Miles held her hand and led her into the house.

He could still tell that Stella was unwilling.
