Chapter 7 Where Did She Get the Money to Go Shopping?

Ethan strode inside and sank onto the couch, pulling out a cigarette.

Before he could even light it, Stella walked over, snatched it from his fingers, and tossed it straight into the trash.

Ethan’s face darkened. “What the hell are you doing?”

When had anyone ever treated him like this?

Back when he was with Lillian, no matter what he did, she never said a word.

Stella simply said, “I don’t like the smell of smoke.”

Ethan was speechless. This woman… fine, whatever.

Gritting his teeth, he held back his anger. But the two trending posts from this morning still burned in his mind. His family had been blowing up his phone all day.

“The news today—Tessa posted it for you?”

Was she seriously trying to cancel their wedding? Wasn’t this going too far?

Stella didn’t answer. She walked over to the fridge and took out a small cake.

She hadn’t eaten enough at lunch, and after shopping with Tessa for two hours, she was starving.

Ethan nearly exploded at how she was ignoring him. “The wedding is between the two of us—why did you have to make it a public spectacle?”

Fine, if she wanted to vent at him, he could take it. But blowing it up like this, letting the whole city watch? Ethan couldn’t forgive her for that.
