Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 122 Let’s Go Stargazing

Snuggling in his embrace, Stella lifted her head and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Well, I mean things about the future, like where to go for vacation? Where should the children attend school? In Solaria or overseas? All of these things about the future.”

When Miles said that, Stella could see the corner of his mouth curved up into a smile. It was such a rare sight.

Gaping at Miles, Stella was dumbfounded. Children? I’ve never thought about it.

“What are you looking at?” asked Miles as he put his arm around her shoulders.

“You look good when you smile,” Stella complimented sincerely.

Hearing that, Miles broadened his smile into a big curve.

In a playful manner, Stella took out her phone and snapped a picture of him smiling.

After knowing him for so long, Stella realized she didn’t have a single photo of him in her phone.

In this photo, his legs were crossed, and he was smiling lightly at Stella.

Once she was done taking the picture, she was dragged over by him.

The next day, Stella went to the boutique and requested her shop attendant to compile a list of guests to invite. After that, she would go through the list and add a couple more people in.

Picking up a pen, she started jotting down a few names. Mrs. Miller would surely attend, but as for President Miller, it would depend on Mrs. Miller. Hence, she wrote President Miller’s name in a bracket beside Mrs. Miller’s name. The next name was—Matthew Xenon.

On second thought, she had a bad feeling about it. Considering that it was a sensitive period between Miles and her, it would be better if she didn’t invite him.

Clenching her fists, Stella somehow felt it wouldn’t be nice to not invite him. After all, he was the one who had led her to where she was now. Then again, if he attended, it would be rather awkward too…

After writing down Matthew’s name, Stella spent a long while mulling about it, thus had subconsciously drawn a lot of dots beside his name, which indirectly represented her confused mind.

In the end, she crossed out the name.

Subsequently, she compiled all the remaining guest lists into one list and asked the shop attendant to make a copy with the computer so they could present it to Miles later.

There were a lot of names, but since Miles wasn’t too familiar with the people in the fashion line, he just scanned through the list.

How come his name is not on the list? Did Stella do it on purpose?

Upon thinking about it, Miles stated that there was no problem with the list.

Hence, Stella began to send out the invitation cards.
