Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 120 Closer to Him

After last night’s incident, Stella felt as though she had been given a new lease on life, so now, she cherished her life even more. About Lizbeth, she didn’t want to visit her or have anything to do with her in the future. She would just leave it all to Miles, as she felt that she didn’t have the intelligence to handle Lizbeth.

Once Miles was done with his meal, he gazed at Stella, who was still eating.

While Stella was drinking her soup, she lowered her head and didn’t notice that her hair had dipped into the bowl of soup.

Gazing at her from the side, Miles gently lifted his hand and tucked the strand of hair behind her ear.

From his point of view, she looked simply refreshed and innocent now. Just gazing at her lovely and alluring features, Miles figured that it had been a while since they shared an intimate moment together.

After stealing a quick glance at Miles, Stella continued drinking her soup.

In the month of October, the weather had turned cooler.

Stella was wearing a black shirt and a pair of long pants. The style and material of this shirt was rather similar to one from Amon that she had worn previously, but this one seemed shorter and had a slimmer cut. She didn’t know why she wore such a shirt, but it was probably because the person beside her preferred a gray and black palette. Unfortunately, he wasn’t wearing one on this day.

No doubt, Miles was the one who bought her this shirt, as it was placed in the apartment above the branch office. Frankly, Stella wasn’t sure why Miles had bought her such a shirt. As Stella didn’t want to be reminded of her experience in the detention center, she had disposed of the clothes she wore on the previous day.

As Stella continued to drink her soup, Miles was sitting beside her, gently patting her head as though she was his daughter.

The moment Stella finished drinking the soup, she pivoted and said, “I’m don—”

Before she could complete her sentence, Miles kissed her and drew her closer toward him.

Initially, Stella was startled and embarrassed as they were in public. Since Stella couldn’t resist his overbearing manner, she just accepted it willingly. Closing her eyes slowly, she realized there was a faint scent of cigarette in his breath, as well as an irresistible masculine scent, which pulled her deeper into her trance.

After kissing for a while, Stella was suddenly hit with the realization that they were still in a public area now. Noticing that everyone was casting strange glances at them, she immediately felt awkward.

On their way home, she leaned her head against him while he hugged her in a lopsided way. Both of them knew very well what would happen later.

Sure enough, before they reached the branch office, Miles carried Stella upstairs and she could hear that his breathing was quickening.

As soon as they entered the room, Miles laid her on the bed.
