Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 126 The Point of No Return

“Didn’t he call you ‘Stella’ before? Why did he change to ‘Miss Stella’ now? We are finally of the same rank.” Miles was slightly happy to hear the kid calling her ‘Miss Stella’.

Stella originally did not want to mention this matter, but Zachariah quickly said, “My mother told me that if I only call her ‘Stella’, Miss Stella might not become my mother!” The child did not care much about these words, but Stella realized that Miles’ expression had changed. She did not dare to look at him, but she knew that the veins on both sides of his temples were throbbing. However, he pretended that nothing had happened.

Because of Zachariah’s words, Stella was more or less distracted because she wanted to know what Miles was feeling now. A few moments later, Miles’ phone rang—it was a call from the company headquarters, saying that there was an urgent matter in the company and that he should go back.

Hence, Miles told Stella that he still had some things to deal with back at the company, and she should stay here first if she wished to stay with Zachariah a little longer. Stella agreed, but when Miles was leaving, she looked at him with probing eyes, hoping to see that he was not really angry.

But Miles’ expression was deep, and he also gave a deep look at Stella which was unfathomable as the deep sea.

After Miles got into the car, he made a phone call to his home in Canada. This call was made to his housekeeper at home, asking her to keep an eye on Adele and tell him in time if she made any surprise moves.

Stella accompanied Zachariah for a long time until Matthew came and the nanny went back.

Today, Matthew’s expression was calmer compared to the day Zachariah was injured, and there was more gentleness in between his eyebrows. Previously, Stella went to him to return his jade pendant, and that day, Matthew had unconsciously revealed his state of mind. All along, he did not want Stella to know what he was thinking and feeling.

After all, the world was full of things that weren’t meant to be, and Miles was also his good friend, so he did not want to steal his friend’s woman away from him. But it was clear that Stella also remembered that day’s events when she saw him. At that time, because Zachariah was injured, they were in a very anxious mood and did not think much about it.

But then when she thought about it, Matthew’s annoyed ‘take it’ could only be from someone who was in love with her.

Thinking of it made Stella blush. She peeled an apple for Zachariah as Matthew stood behind her with one hand in his pocket. Staring at Stella’s back, he asked, “So you’re back, huh?”

“Yeah,” Stella answered mildly. “I came back with him, and he also came to see Zack just now. However, something happened in the company, so he left first.”

Matthew looked down and smiled bitterly.
