Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 74 Starting Over

Yulia would bet that while Miles didn’t care if Stella was a divorcee, someone of his status would never tolerate her sleeping with another man once they got together. He would never tolerate a woman who was of two minds. Other than that, Yulia was also certain that he would believe in what his confidant told him. While watching Stella leave, Yulia knew she had made a worthwhile bet.

Despite the fact that the weather was warming up when spring was almost over, it was raining the day when Stella quit her job. She needed to go through all sorts of administrative procedures while doing so. Meanwhile, her colleagues were still gossiping about her relationship with Miles, claiming that she wasn’t bothered at all after they broke up.

In fact, Lisa was the only one who expressed her concern. “Why did you resign all of a sudden? What’s the point?”

“Miles is in a sour mood right now, which makes things awkward.”

“Do you mean whenever you bump into him?”

Knowing that Lisa was referring to Miles, Stella hummed in the affirmative. She only needed the human resources department’s approval for her resignation as she didn’t hold an important position that would warrant Miles making a personal request that she extend her tenure. He wasn’t in the office that day, so Stella left without his knowledge. Even though Kevin did ask for her to stay, she could sense it was more of a token gesture.

After she resigned, she turned her focus to taking care of Lizbeth at the hospital. Since the latter was about to undergo an operation, she figured she should help Alaric take care of her. He wasn’t getting any younger, so he would have a hard time bearing the responsibility alone. Therefore, she spent the next few days taking care of Lizbeth.

One day, Lizbeth asked abruptly, “Don’t you need to go to work?”

“I already quit my job.” Stella hung her head low while focused on peeling an apple.

“So you and Miles…” While observing Stella’s expression closely, Lizbeth probed carefully.

“We broke up.”

With a hum, Lizbeth said, “Well, everybody has their own demons to face while in a marriage. Some people never looked back after having an affair, while some repented, but the couple never got back together, citing irreconcilable differences. I also used to be attracted to handsome men, and had even thought of having an affair, but in the end, I turned my attention back to my family after having kids with Alaric.”

Stella merely let out a grunt. After experiencing so much hurt in her relationship with Miles, she thought she might never fall in love again.
