The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 424

Mr. Walden gave Noah a meaningful look. "You rarely go out of your way to plead for someone."

Noah's eyes, a striking shade of blue, held a calm depth-like the ocean on a gentle morning.

"Because she's worth it."

For a moment, not only Mr. Walden, but even Stella herself, felt a ripple of emotion.

Mr. Walden regarded Noah, his gaze serious.

"Noah, you're still young. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment."

Noah smiled. "Mr. Walden, this isn't about sentiment. I'm just speaking honestly.

If you took the time to truly get to know Ms. Cameron, I doubt you'd be willing to let her go so easily.

Let's say I owe you a favor for this. How does that sound?"

Mr. Walden shook his head with a helpless chuckle. "You're something else, you know that?"

Stella glanced at Noah and spoke softly. "Mr. Noah, thank you for wanting to help me. But there's really no need."

Her voice was quiet, yet steady. "As Mr. Walden just said, there are many paths in life. Being chosen by Mr. Walden is one path. Finding my own way is another.

Not everyone is suited for the same road.

As long as you choose the right path, every road will eventually lead to the same destination."
