Chapter 35

Stella was really strong if Mitch and Cooper stick to their ‘men don’t hit women principle, they might end up in a hospital bed, courtesy of Stella.

“Humph, Mitch, you better remember this. If I run into you again, I’m gonna beat you to death!” Stella glared at Mitch.

I was truly moved by Stella’s determination. I decided to pay the rest of her expenses.

Stella loved the nightlife, but she’s also a skincare junkie. I advised her to get more sleep, saying it would do wonders for her skin. She laughed and said, “Sometimes, hormonal imbalances can mess up your skin too. We’re almost hitting 30, so a sex life is essential!”

“Well, isn’t that just a matter of time? Better have a backup plan!” Stella replied, quite boldly.

Otherwise, I’d rather stay single than invite trouble.

“Oh, by the way, Barbara said she wants to go on a trip with us after her engagement party this weekend. Me and Alicia are already in. Are you coming?” Stella asked again.

*Where to?” I asked back.
