The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 574 The Kind of Love You Don’t Share

The commotion inside had been loud enough to catch everyone’s attention–especially since those two women had been bawling their eyes out as they got kicked out.

Bottom line, Stella had made another splash tonight.

By morning, the rumors would surely be flying: she really was being treasured by the Dawson family.

Abraham came out, and when Marie spotted him, she called out, “Abraham.”

Stella turned around too–and saw him.

Without saying a word, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. “Let’s go home.”

“Okay.”

They had just taken two steps when a woman called from behind them. “Abraham.”

They both stopped.

Abraham turned slightly–and the woman was already walking up behind him. “You should reconsider my father’s proposal. It’d benefit her too.”

Stella turned around.

And there she was–the woman the two gossips had mentioned earlier. Melissa.

From what they’d said, Melissa had liked Abraham since high school.

Stella knew her, of course. Back then, Melissa used to always try to get close to her.

But she only managed it a handful of times–probably because Abraham eventually shut that down.
