The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 1009

The Williams estate was sprawling-far more than just a single mansion. In fact, there were several buildings dotted across the grounds, and it wasn't uncommon for the family's security team to live there as well.

So when Joshua moved into the Williams estate, it didn't feel out of place at all.

Stella thought for a moment. "Is Joshua okay with this?"

Abby replied, "I asked him. He didn't mind-said it makes no difference to him where he stays."

Stella didn't insist any further. "As long as he's willing. There are more than enough rooms here, and if I want to bring someone in, it's never a problem."

"Good." Abby finally looked relieved. "Star, while I'm away, if anything comes up, you can always call me. Please, don't keep things from me."

Stella's voice was warm. "I know."

With that, Abby left.

Once Abby was gone, Stella gently hugged Nocturne Stella. She would never let anyone take away what belonged to her again.
