Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 376 376: She decieved me big time

Stefan was losing his mind. He couldn't reach Ella. She had left the house without telling him anything, and if that wasn't enough to worry him, she had left her phone behind, leaving him with no way to contact her.

He had called everyone he could think of, hoping she was with them, but to his growing frustration, no one had seen her. He had no idea where she had gone or why she had left without a word.

"Damn it, Dove, where the hell are you?" He muttered under his breath, gripping the steering wheel tighter as he continued driving. He had already searched all their favorite spots, except one.

His car screeched to a halt in front of a park. Without wasting a second, Stefan stepped out and hurried through the tall gates, scanning the area desperately.

He prayed he would find her there. But even after searching every corner of the park, she was nowhere in sight.

Sighing in defeat, he turned to leave, but just as he reached his car, movement on the pavement caught his eye. His breath hitched.

Ella.

She was walking absentmindedly toward the park, her posture weighed down by something invisible yet heavy. She barely seemed aware of her surroundings, her steps slow and aimless.

Stefan's first instinct was to rush to her, to pull her into his arms and to demand to know where she had been. But something about the way she moved made him stop in his tracks.

Something was wrong.

Of course, it made sense. After what they had learned about Michelle, how could Ella not be shaken? But they would confront Michelle soon—he had promised her that.

Silently, he followed her into the park, keeping a fair distance as she walked deeper inside. Eventually, she found an empty bench tucked in a secluded corner and sat down.

That was when he finally joined her.

She didn't acknowledge him; she didn't even glance his way. And then, in a quiet, hollow voice, she spoke.
