Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 81 Thank You, President Grant

Lowering herself, Stella snapped Zachariah on his cheek and said, “I miss you, too! What are you doing here?”

“I’m here waiting for Miles with Dad. Why don’t you leave in our car? I haven’t seen you for so long and really want to have a good chat with you.” Zachariah seemed to have really missed her badly.

“Thanks, but I’m going home with this man here,” she rejected, feeling uneasy at the thought that Miles, who would also be in the same car, would stare at her.

However, Zane had sold his car a long time ago to pay off the debts, and they had come here with a cab.

Zachariah gazed at Zane in puzzlement, unable to understand his relationship with Stella since she was especially close with Miles before this.

“Hop on, Stella. This place is kinda far from the city, and it’s not easy to get a cab,” Matthew said over the window which had been rolled down.

As Zane and Stella were standing on the right side of the car, Matthew had to roll down the right passenger seat window, and the sight of Miles with his head lowered while he was on his cell phone appeared before Stella’s eyes. The way he was seemed as though he wasn’t concerned about them at all.

“No, thanks!” Stella replied, incredibly self-conscious that she was speaking to Matthew with Miles in between them.

“How about if I just send you guys home? It’s not easy to get a ride here, and there’s still much left to do after Mr. Levitt’s passing. I’m merely dropping you guys off, so what are you afraid of?” he offered again as his eyes swept across Miles’ face.

That’s right, she thought. What am I afraid of if I didn’t have a guilty conscience?

Glancing back at Zane, she received his approval, and they both got into the car. She and Zane sat on each side of Zachariah, and they chatted about his school the whole time. Every child willfully wanted to be the center of attention, and the atmosphere was harmonious as she asked him questions in a timely manner.

From the rearview mirror, Matthew looked at her and asked, “Why didn’t you have a child of your own since you like children so much, Stella?”

Before she could come up with a reply, Zane interrupted, “Too much pressure and yet to decide.” He sounded as though she would have a child with him in the future.

After Matthew sent Zane to his home, Stella followed him off the car as well. Upon touching down in Hollowcrest, she had immediately attended Alaric’s funeral without stopping in between to find herself an accommodation. Furthermore, she wanted to visit Lizbeth because she reckoned that it would be difficult for her to accept that Alaric was gone now.

Who would have thought that just a few seconds after they got out of the car, a group of people emerged from all directions and surrounded Zane with kicks and punches while he squatted in a corner holding his head, looking very pitiful.
