Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 77

Chapter 77 He Wanted Her?

He’s right. This isn’t the first time. Then again, since we’ve broken up, we shouldn’t be seeing each other in this state, right?

Once Miles was done putting on his pajamas, he took a seat on the couch and asked Stella, “Did I get you correctly? You’re planning to rent the shop?”

“Yes.” Stella briefly related the incident about the landlord needing the shop to pay his debt, and of course, she didn’t mention the deal between her and Zane.

“What about Zane? Can’t he help you with this?” he asked, his words filled with contempt.

“No, he can’t.”

“If you wish to rent my shop, aren’t you supposed to pay me a price? After all, I’m a businessman, and I didn’t sign up for charity,” said Miles indifferently.

With her face blanched, Stella didn’t quite understand what he meant, but she did know that money was not a concern to him.

“What… What do you want, then?” asked Stella. “I don’t have the money now, but I can give you a bill signed in acknowledgement of debt. Based on the sales forecast for my boutique, it won’t be a problem for me to earn back the rental in 3 months.” She had one of her hands raised up, as though she was stating a pledge.

“I don’t need money.” With his eyes squinted, Miles’ expression was as though he was about to give her a taste of her own medicine.

From the looks of it, it seemed like he had made himself very clear, and it depended on whether Stella could take the hint.

As Stella hung her head, she figured she had nothing but her own body. Is this what he wants? When they were together, he had expressed countless times that he was really infatuated with her body.

And before she arrived, he even took a bath… All of these just led to a single assumption—he wanted her.

With that, Stella slowly unbuttoned her shirt.

Not knowing the reason, whenever she was in front of Miles, she could be exceptionally bold. If this was another man before her, she certainly wouldn’t be able to do the same.

Perhaps it was because he had seen everything about her, thus having nothing to hide at all. Or maybe it was because they had slept together several times, so once more didn’t really matter. In any case, she was nothing but that woman’s replacement anyway.

“Stop undressing yourself!” Miles demanded while squinting his eyes, and a line appeared between his brows. “Miss Johansson, is this the only trick you have whenever you’re lonely or whenever you beg someone?”

Confused, Stella didn’t understand what Miles meant, but since he had asked her to stop undressing, she only felt more embarrassed.

“Change of conditions?” asked Stella as she recalled the first time when she undressed herself in front of him, for he didn’t choose to sleep with her either.

It seemed like he wasn’t a person without self control after all.

“I find it… filthy!” Miles stated every word loud and clear.
