Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 37 I Came to Visit My Woman

Miles tapped his finger on the bowl on his table.

Did he magically conjure this out of thin air? Stella walked up to the table to check on the contents in the bowl. “What is it?”

“It’s chicken and vegetable soup.”

Before she asked him for a reason, she recalled that she just had an abortion, so he was in fact trying to nurse her back to health. Instantly, her heart was filled with warmth. She and Zane had been trapped in a vicious cycle in their relationship. Despite his repeated declarations of love, he never actually acted on them. His lack of care toward her was perhaps because the child didn’t belong to him.

No wonder he wanted me to come take care of the plants. It’s just an excuse to get me to drink the soup. After she downed the soup, she went back downstairs, forgetting to even thank him.

When the janitor was cleaning the broken vase shards, she found a bunch of keys on the rack, so she asked, “President Grant, are these your keys?”

Upon checking on them, Miles replied, “No, but you can give them to me.” He figured that Stella might’ve left them there after she tried to use the keys to help her reach the crystal vase. From what he could see, he deduced that all of Stella’s keys were with him. With a conniving smile, he thought, Great. I have some leverage against her now.

When she got home at night, Stella couldn’t find her keys. Figuring that she might’ve left them in the office, she didn’t dwell on it. Since Zane was at home, he was the one who opened the door for her. After dinner, he told her he needed to leave the house for a bit and wouldn’t be back until for quite some time. She grunted upon hearing him. After all, they were living under the same roof, so at the least they were showing some common courtesy.

After that, she went and took a hot shower in the bathroom. She had her own bathroom in her room, so she didn’t normally pay attention to her attire after a shower. Besides, Zane wasn’t in the house. Her face was round and fair, while her hair was slightly curled up. She left her room in a slightly disheveled state, as her bathrobe was slightly undone, partially revealing her chest.

She was thirsty, so she poured herself some water in the living room, only to see someone smoking while sitting on the sofa in the living room. The man who was examining her as if he were the master of the house was none other than Miles.

Startled by his presence, Stella spaced out for a moment before asking, “President Grant, aren’t you afraid that the master of the house might come back while you’re sitting here, pretending to be him?” Upon realizing her lack of modesty, she quickly tightened the bathrobe around her body. It wasn’t until then that she recalled she’d left her keys in his office this morning.

It wasn’t until Zane walked in on them did Stella shoot up from where she sat like a frightened animal. Although Zane knew she used to carry Miles’ baby, he never witnessed them being intimate. Therefore, they were caught red-handed while committing adultery. While it wasn’t the most glamorous thing to be caught doing, it was the ugly truth that

Strictly speaking, Stella wasn’t his woman, as he never even touched her. Thus, he collapsed on the ground before asking,
