The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 214

In the beginning, Keen would still listen to her. But as he grew older, he began to dismiss her words with disdain.

"It was all his plan to set me up!" Keen's frustrated voice interrupted her thoughts.

"That brat, he purposely let me see you guys having a blast at the amusement park, then came running up to me, saying it felt great to steal my mom away. He even said I'd be mom-less from now on! He was scared I'd take you back, so he jumped into the pool. If he can jump, so can I! I'm not afraid!"

Keen's eyes, red with anger, locked onto Stella.

"We both fell in the water, and you chose to save him first, ignoring me. Are you really... planning to leave me behind?"

Stella paused for a moment, offering an explanation. "I didn't see you at the time; I didn't know you were in the water too."
