Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 79

Chapter 79 Didn’t Treat Her Well Enough

Then, a sudden thought came to his mind—Miles realized they rarely shared such a warm embrace with one another. Most of the time, they would just end up getting straight to it most of the time, so sharing an intimate embrace like this was just rare.

Instead of laying Stella back on the bed, Miles continued to hold her and enjoyed the sweet scent that came from her hair.

Because of her petite frame, Stella appeared lean, but in fact, she was kind of fleshy, so it was a nice feeling to hold her closely.

Leaning against Miles, she looked like a little girl who was gentle and needed protection at the same time, which was a rather unusual sight for him.

Frankly, Stella was someone who appeared soft on the outside, but was actually strong on the inside. She would cry sometimes, but she rarely showed the weak side of her, as she was exactly the type that kept pressing through whenever things were rough for her.

This was the first time Miles ever felt she was like a precious little daughter to him. Drawing himself closer to her, he leaned his own forehead against hers.

As she was already fast asleep, she didn’t fight back, all gentle and submissive within his arms. Miles only felt this was such a precious moment that had to be cherished.

Admittedly, he was indeed a little too harsh on her in the past. He had always treated her as a woman, and most of the time, saw her as a woman in bed.

In fact, she was just a young lady in her early twenties. He was much older than her, and yet, he didn’t treat her well enough.

Staying in the same position for quite a while, Miles continued to hug Stella until he felt pins and needles in his arm, then he placed her down. Perhaps because of the soup she had finished just now, her fever seemed to have subsided and droplets of sweat could be seen on her forehead.

After covering her with a blanket, he continued to sit by her side throughout the night.

Unfortunately, there was only one bed in Stella’s house, so he didn’t have anywhere else to rest his head. Then again, the crucial reason for staying beside her was that he was worried that Stella would kick off the blanket while sleeping.

The dim light from the bedside lamp was shining upon Stella’s face, which appeared somewhat exhausted and feverish.

Surprising even himself, Miles didn’t sleep throughout the night, but he wasn’t feeling sleepy at all.

During daybreak, Stella’s fever seemed to have subsided. She got up and headed to the bathroom, and when she pushed the door open, she saw a man’s back.

Letting out a shriek, Stella closed her eyes with her hands and walked out of the bathroom. As she only caught a glimpse of the man’s back, she wasn’t sure who it was.

Sitting down on her bed, she was trying to figure out who that man was. Just then, a man’s face came to her mind—Miles Grant’s face.

A moment later, Miles walked out of the bathroom. “Have you forgotten that I was the one who sent you home last night? How ungrateful of you!” Walking toward her, he then placed his hand over her forehead. “No more fever. I should leave now then.”

As soon as he headed to the door, Stella’s voice sounded from behind him. “President Grant, are you a man who has a strong possessive desire?”

The moment his hands reached for the door knob,
