Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 82 It’s Sold

“Thank you for saving Zane. You really saved his life, so it’s only natural that I’m grateful to you,” she replied honestly without hiding her emotions.

In fact, she felt it stronger and stronger that it was easier for her to maintain this sort of superior-subordinate relationship with Miles.

“Who are you to say this? As Zane’s ex-wife? Or his current girlfriend?” he asked, still struggling with this issue.

Speechless, Stella didn’t give this topic much thought because all she was thinking about was to relay her thanks to him.

After a long pause, she answered truthfully, “I didn’t think about that.”

“If you’re thanking me on his behalf, then you’re done and can leave now. But if you’re thanking me for yourself, then I would like to ask how you’ll repay me. Don’t swear to me saying you’re going to be a slave for me since it won’t be the first time that you’re saying that, and I won’t believe it anymore. So fine, you can leave now.” With his head leaning on the headboard, Miles started reading, leaving Stella feeling awkward all of a sudden.

Everything she said was pointless, and she quietly left the room.

Unexpectedly, someone else showed up at the house the next day—Gabriella.

This baffled Stella because not only did Gabriella not return to Miles when she asked her to in Murdough, but she even went to her hotel to hide from him on purpose. So what’s the meaning now that she came here voluntarily? she wondered.

However, she didn’t want to stick her nose into his affairs with his ex.

Seeing Gabriella seated on the couch when he came downstairs, Miles asked, “What are you doing here?”

Shooting up from her seat, she lunged forward and grabbed his arm, saying, “Let’s talk upstairs.”

From Stella’s point of view, she thought that he seemed a little helpless when facing Gabriella, and it looked as though she had forced herself on him.

In his room, Miles threw himself on the couch and asked nonchalantly, “So tell me, what’s your request this time?”

Standing in front of him, Gabriella appeared indifferent as she made a ‘pay me’ gesture. Without a moment of hesitation, Miles immediately knew what she meant—money.

“What happened again?” he asked, frowning.

“My boyfriend’s visa expired and, unfortunately, he was caught by the police. This is a rather sticky situation, and after thinking about it, you’re the only one I know, so I’m here to borrow some…” She trailed off, looking sheepishly at him.
