Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 153 153: I hope you will not let me down

"How did you?" Before she could continue her sentence, Stefan responded.

"I saw him driving away," he stated calmly, not wanting to startle Ella.

Ella lowered her gaze and nibbled her lips, contemplating.

"Why was he there? I know he did not injure you like the other night. So I suppose he was there to talk, right?" Stefan inquired, his gaze tracing the expressions on her face.

Ella nodded, not choosing to keep it to herself now that he was aware of the truth.

"He did come to talk, but the conversation never went there and I had him thrown away," she relayed.

Ella was so irritated by his statements that she felt disgusted to even speak with him. Back then, he was such a sweet guy who would chat to her gently, only to reveal his true face when he called her a whore and a slut.

She understood how much she didn't know about him, or was she that blind as to never see past his pretense?

Stefan exhaled and believed her comments, which did not sound contrived, because he knew she would never lie to him about Max.

Stefan couldn't figure out what was wrong with him or why he was still after her despite being the one who had ended the relationship.

He took a big breath and stretched out to hug her, surprising her by surprise.

"I so want to erase his existence from this world, but I can't, unless I know what he wants from you now when you have already moved on."

Ella blinked as she remembered Max's comments, sighed, and buried her face in his shoulder, hugging him back.

"I simply hurt his ego by forgetting him too soon, and now he can't digest it," she whispered, forcing Stefan to break away and glance at her in confusion.

"Are you sure you loved that guy? Now I want to go crush that giraffe face for having a male ego." Stefan scoffed as he pulled a chair for himself to sit on.

He was enraged, and his hand was dying to punch that man for having such a small brain.

Ella grinned as Stefan mentally cursed Max and kept his temper for her.

She desired this kind of security in her life, where she would feel safe and appreciated.

"You can see that I have weak vision and a foolish heart, which is why I fell for such a scum."
