The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 649

If it hadn't been for Keen, she would never have held on to the marriage for so long.

After the divorce, if not for her career-something she truly cared about-she wouldn't have bounced back so quickly. It would have left her gutted, feeling lost about the future.

With these thoughts swirling in her mind, Stella gave a slight nod, signaling her agreement.

Joshua, despite being so young, seemed to understand things even more clearly than she did.

"What would you do if you met the person who matters most to you?" Stella asked him.

"I'd do my best to make her wishes come true," Joshua replied.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than his phone began to buzz.

Joshua stopped chatting and told Stella, "I need to take this call."

Stella nodded.

Watching him walk away, she found herself wondering who else would be calling Joshua, aside from their group. But then again, it wasn't really surprising. Joshua was so outgoing and easy to get along with he could make friends anywhere, in no time at all.

A few moments later, Stella's own phone vibrated with a text from Foreman.
