The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 621

Stella shot Haynes a surprised glance. "You know about this?"

He shrugged. "When I was younger, I spent a few years racing."

Fast cars-every man's dream, Stella thought. Not one of them could resist.

From what she knew, all three of her brothers had a thing for racing. She'd seen Skyler's old trophies and photos from his racing days lining the shelves in his study.

At the Williams estate, Skyler's garage looked more like an auto show, packed wall-to-wall with cars-an almost ridiculous display. And Jonathan, Israel, and Coleman? Their collections could rival a museum.

Compared to them, Aurora didn't own as many, but every car she drove was top- of-the-line.

It seemed the whole Williams family had inherited Skyler's love for racing.

Stella used to think she wasn't interested. But after dabbling in it for a while, she had to admit-genes were a powerful thing.

Still, if given the choice between the violin and fast cars, her heart always belonged to the violin.

After Haynes's answer, Stella didn't ask any more questions.

But Haynes, unusually chatty tonight, wasn't finished. "So, you're into cars too?"

He wasn't talking about knowing how to drive he meant racing.
