Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 72 Why Are You Being So Considerate Toward Him?

Stella was confused by Miles’s demand, but she complied nonetheless. As soon as she approached him, he pulled her into an embrace before rubbing against her chest. “Do you know what it is that a man can’t stand?” he asked.

While assuming that Miles had yet to read the posts as he wasn’t in the office, Stella didn’t know the answer, so she shook her head in confusion.

“You know I can easily delete that post.” After lifting his head, Miles regarded her in all seriousness.

Stella was shaken by his revelation. “Have you read the post?” Since he told her he never saw the post that Zane published regarding how he seduced Stella, she assumed that he didn’t care much about gossip. Besides, he wasn’t even in the office.

Miles nodded.

“You deleting the post and me replying to it will have a totally different effect. Deleting it means you’re feeling guilty, which will lead to you being perceived as a third party in my marriage. I can’t let it come to that, so I replied to the post to reveal the truth.”

“Is it worth it to put yourself out there like that?” He followed up with another question.

“I didn’t think too much about the consequences.”

“While a woman needs a man who understands her, the opposite is true as well. I am extremely fortunate to have gotten myself one such woman.” He hugged her tightly.

Stella didn’t think much of the post she published, so she didn’t expect Miles to be so affected by it. All she felt was that he was being dramatic. That night, he was exceedingly gentle toward her when they had sex. She ended up dozing off while listening to his gentle words.

When she got back to work the next day, all of her colleagues were looking at her with a smile on their faces. Instinctively, she felt that something was off, as they shouldn’t be treating her in such a manner, considering she had described herself as such an immoral woman. As soon as she arrived at the design department, Lisa was also all smiles. Out of curiosity, she sent Lisa a text. ‘Why is everybody smiling at me?’
