The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Foreman nodded. "Yeah, when I was studying abroad on my own, I used to cook for myself all the time."

Abby looked at him with interest. "Where did you study, Mr. Richards?"

"Solmaris," Foreman replied.

Abby's eyes lit up. "No way-that's where Star and I studied too!"

Foreman smiled softly. "What a small world."

Since Foreman was already helping out in the kitchen, Abby rolled up her sleeves and joined in.

After breakfast, Foreman said, "I've already sent someone to investigate the unknown individuals lurking around. We should hear back in the next couple of days."

"Thank you for taking care of it, Mr. Richards," Abby replied gratefully.

Foreman just smiled, answered a call, and stepped out.

Three days later, the investigation was finished.

Stella and Abby were moved into a hotel owned by the Richards Group.

As Stella walked away, Foreman watched her retreating figure and murmured, "If only Star could stay here forever."

But he knew her too well.

The closer he got, the further away Stella seemed to drift. Managing to keep her close for three days had already pushed the limits.

Still, he couldn't really complain. At least he'd spent three days with her-shared meals she'd cooked herself, even sipped the herbal tea she'd made.
