Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 133 Divorce

It was apparent that Stella was not in the wrong today, but why was she terrified by Miles in the end?

The next day, Stella was in the factory when she received the message that Audrey was going back to Southlin.

The name Southlin sounded good to her, so she asked Audrey what she was doing in Southlin and what the place had to do with Audrey.

Audrey texted: ‘My father-in-law passed away. He worked all his life in the town and raised a good son, but unfortunately, I’m not fortunate enough to be his daughter-in-law.’ Stella then realized that Southlin was Matthew’s hometown. So, the old man using the sewing machine carved on the jade plaque has died?

However, it was not a good time to get involved too much with Matthew now that her relationship with Matthew was sensitive to Miles. After all, Miles was going to kill Matthew previously. Audrey said she did not sleep all night last night when she recalled everything that happened in the past, including her and Matthew’s meeting in America. She even sent Stella some photos from that time.

Stella carefully looked at the photos and realized that Matthew had not changed much, but now he did look calmer and more mature than before. In fact, he now looked more like a gentleman. After looking over these photos, Stella was particularly interested in a photo of Matthew and Audrey on the university campus. There was a vague figure behind them, and the picture should be taken with a DSLR camera. And thus, the focus was on Matthew and Audrey. Still, Stella saw the person in the background at a glance. He did not look much different from now and still looked arrogant and cold, with a hand in his pocket and a straight gaze. At that time, he already liked black and gray clothing.

Stella’s heart couldn’t help but thump. It’s Miles!

The corners of her lips could not help but turn up into a smile, and a shy look surfaced on her face as her heart silently recited his name. Miles, Miles.

Audrey seemed to have taken Zachariah and Matthew back to their hometown to attend the funeral.

After a few days, Stella was sitting in Miles’ office when someone suddenly pushed open the door and came in. At that time, Stella was standing behind Miles with her hands around his neck. When she saw someone coming in, she froze for a moment and then realized it was Matthew. He was wearing a funeral badge on his left arm, and when he saw Miles and Stella, he bowed deeply to them. Stella had heard that there were places with such a custom that when someone in the family passed away, the descendants of the deceased must go to the families who sent bereavement money and thank them one by one. But Stella did not expect that in such a big city, Matthew still strictly abided by this custom. After all, Miles was not Matthew’s elder and could only be considered as a peer. It appeared that Miles had given Matthew some bereavement money, and so he was aware of the news of Matthew’s father’s passing. Moreover, Stella understood why he did not tell her.

Matthew’s expression was grave and serious, and with a rustic air, he bowed and said, “Thank you.”

Then, he left. After he left, Miles looked up and looked at Stella. “W-Why are you looking at me?” she asked.

“You already knew about his father’s situation? He told you that?” Miles asked.

“N-No, Miles, we haven’t been in touch. What made you say that?”

“Your hand that you pressed on my shoulder kept its original strength. There was no shock! Thus, I know that you probably already knew the news of his father’s death. Since the person using the sewing machine on the jade plaque is his father, I’m sure you’re somewhat familiar with this person. In any case, you definitely won’t be so calm, right?” Miles raised his head slightly and looked at Stella behind him.

Stella did not refute him. Anyway, she did not have a place to live in Hollowcrest. After all, she had a grudge with her father for so many years, so originally, she did not want to stay with him, but she could not ignore his weak and ‘gradually old’ tone when he talked to her. In any case, they were biological father and daughter, and besides, she and Miles had not gotten married, so it wasn’t appropriate for her to keep living here.
