Love At The Next Stop Novel

Chapter 41 You Don’t Even Dare to Look At Me?

Anyway, she could never finish the drawing for today. Hence, she decided to leave, thinking that it wouldn’t be nice to keep Zane waiting.

After taking a cab to the address given by him, Stella waited outside in the hallway while Zane was still taking his psychological test. By the time he was done, he appeared exhausted as he said to her, “It’s your turn now!”

He had also seen the bluish hickey on her neck, which was small but clear, and he knew that it was definitely from that man. She’s so brazen. Can’t she be more discreet about her affair?

This was the first time that Stella was consulting a psychologist, and it was naturally nervous for her. However, the psychiatrist, Dr. Garcia, told her not to be so uptight as she was merely there to help her analyze her feelings. Just as well, since her heart was in a mess now.

The friendly Dr. Garcia first asked about her relationship with Zane, and she replied, “I can’t really say, but I thought of getting along with him when we got married because we have already tied the knot, and nobody walks into a marriage with the thought of divorce.”

“Then are you thinking about anyone else in your mind?” Dr. Garcia asked.

Miles’ figure flashed across her mind, but it disappeared almost immediately, and the look in her eyes darkened as she answered, “No!”

Sensing that she was lying, Dr. Garcia suggested, “Why don’t you lie down on the therapy bed, Mrs. Levitt? I’ll give you a hypnosis to see what you’re thinking deep down in your heart. This will help you to sort out your feelings and also help you through the crisis in your marriage. What do you think?”

This idea scared Stella because she had too many secrets. Once she was under hypnosis, she wouldn’t know what was happening and would spill the beans to others. The secret buried deeply in her heart was Miles, and she wouldn’t rat him out.

Despite that, as she sat there in the quiet room, if she didn’t get onto the therapy bed, Zane would think that she was guilty and wanted to sabotage their marriage. Meanwhile, she had hoped that this marriage would have a happy ending.

Caught in a dilemma, she got onto the bed. After Dr. Garcia said some things to her, she lost control over her state of mind and Dr. Garcia began her questioning. “Do you like Zane?”

“Not that much.”

“So who do you like?”

Stella’s heart protected the name so fiercely that she wouldn’t even say it in her subconscious state when asked, and Dr. Garcia knew that she had run into an obstacle. “What’s the name of your first man?” she asked instead.

But Stella still refused to say it.

“Do you know him?”
