Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 40 She Only Belonged to One Man

Stella had already thought it through and came to the conclusion that she would never develop further with Miles because he already had a girlfriend whom he was very protective of. In addition, he came and messed with a married woman like herself and made her pregnant without any regard for her body.

As a married woman, it was better that she didn’t have to end her marriage in a divorce, and Zane naturally understood her intentions. Faced with such an attractive woman all day, it would be impossible that he wasn’t tempted.

Tonight, as she lay beneath him, her heart was pounding especially fast as though she had some heart issues. The sight of Zane reminded her of Miles; she had only done it twice before and it was with the same man. The only one that filled her mind was the overbearing and compelling man who made her breathless and blew her mind.

On the other hand, Zane tried his best to overcome his mental barrier, but the thought that Miles had impregnated Stella before made him stop—first it was a stranger, then it was Miles.

I’m the third man in her life, he thought as he brushed his face in agony and got off her before returning to his room in embarrassment, leaving Stella with tears streaming down her eyes.

He still detests me, she thought, but she couldn’t help it because she simply couldn’t forget about Miles. Although it was wanton of her, she had no control over it.

By just being in her mind, Miles was able to create a ridge between the both of them. How amazing he was.

Ten days had passed, and Stella was busy during this whole time because she had to draw out the blueprints for a few projects. Learning with Kevin was very beneficial for her, and he spared no effort to teach her, just as he had promised Miles, putting in more than a hundred percent of effort.

Once again, Stella had to send the drawings to Miles, the person she wished to see the least right now.

Before knocking on the door, she heard him speaking with someone else in the room. Through the door, she could clearly recognize the other voice—William.

“President Grant, the project which you sent me to do in Murdough has been approved. I’ve been running around every day for two weeks,” he said, sounding as though he deserved the credit.

With knitted brows, Stella thought, No wonder he hasn’t been looking for me at the office recently because he was at Murdough. Initially, she had thought that he had stopped coming because of Zane, but it seemed like he didn’t have such great capability.

It was Miles who had done a lot, and she had an inexplicable feeling about it in her heart.

“It’s been hard on you,” Miles complimented in a half-joking manner. “When it is approved, you can start working there next month. Is there anything you can’t bear to leave behind in Hollowcrest?”

“I’ve been away from home since I was young, so I can leave my parents in ease. Monetary items are nothing to me, so I can leave them behind as well. But there’s a natural beauty that I can’t leave behind! Oh, my god. That body…” He went on to describe Stella’s figure and pretended to grab her chest with his hands.

Although they were separated by a distance, Stella could still feel the goosebumps on her body from his lewd speech, despite him looking like a decent man who wasn’t capable of saying such indecent things.

In her heart, she wanted to crush all feelings she had for Miles, which was akin to a small spark enough to start a prairie fire, because he wasn’t a man she could control. In addition, she didn’t want to be an indecent woman like Ximena who destroyed another family. Lastly, she wanted to prevent Miles from insulting her by making her his underground lover. This was
