Chapter 576 Stay Thirsty, My Friend

Abraham said, “Yeah. About us.”

“Us? What about us?”

He glanced at her, lips curving slightly. “With people talking about us like that, do you think Mom would just let it go?”

Abraham gently squeezed her hand, thinking back to what she’d said at the banquet.

Stella had already grabbed her pajamas and was about to head into the bathroom when she saw Abraham following her in.

She reacted quickly, blocking him with both hands.

Abraham glanced at the clothes in her arms, the smile on his face deepening. “Let’s shower together.”

Stella refused no matter what. But up against Abraham, how could she possibly win?

Once it was dry, he leaned down, brushing his lips against her ear. “What’s with that look, Stella? You not satisfied?”

Sniffling, Stella glared at him in the mirror, eyes full of complaint.

Abraham met her look and smiled wickedly. “So… should we-”
