Love At The Next Stop Novel

Chapter 35 Why Can’t It Be Me?

Despite knowing the answer, Miles posed the question nonetheless. He should’ve been able to know that it was his baby just by calculating the days. Judging from his chilly tone, Stella knew he was angry. Even if what he showed was but a fraction of the true extent of his emotions, it was enough to frighten Stella, who was practically on the verge of tears.

“Y-Yours…” Biting on her bottom lip, Stella mumbled in a teensy voice.

“Mine? Yet you aborted the baby on your own accord even though you knew it was mine?” Miles rested his elbow on the gearshift while leaning closer to her.

The glumness of his voice made her shiver uncontrollably. She had a feeling that the vengefulness he showed while annulling Zane’s contract would soon be directed at her. “I—” The atmosphere in the car was tense and hostile. Stella could only manage a single word under the pressure.

“You what? Are you going to explain your reasoning behind the decision to abort the child without my consent?” Miles snapped while staring into Stella’s eyes.

While she wanted to explain that it was Zane’s fault, and that she wasn’t the one who decided to abort the baby, Miles’s anger over her presumed selfishness made her lose the will to refute his claims. Fine. He can think whatever he wants.

Luckily, it was dark in the car, nor did Miles turn on the headlights, or else Stella wouldn’t know how to face him. “Do I need a reason to do so? Zane and I are a married couple, so how should I live from hereon if I’m pregnant with your child? Even if I can no longer stay in a relationship with him, it’s not an excuse for me to carry another man’s child.” Stella straightened her posture while gazing into Miles’ eyes.

Miles held his mouth shut without saying anything. Later on, the car sped away until it pulled over outside of the area where the CCTV at Stella’s house covered. Although Miles didn’t utter a single word after that, Stella could sense the simmering anger lurking beneath his livid expression.

After Stella got out of the car, he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he made sure to watch over her until she got into the house, as she just underwent an abortion after all. The possibility of having children did cross his mind, as he thought it would be his chance to force Zane and Stella to get a divorce, but he never expected her to act so swiftly.
