Love At The Next Stop Novel

Chapter 43 She Likes It, so He Likes It as Well

Stella clenched her fists tightly, but she quickly accepted it; she knew she could never control a man like that. Hence, she might as well just let it go and not care about him so much.

“So she’s your woman, President Grant? You should’ve told me earlier that she’s your woman! You transferred me from Hollowcrest City to Murdough because of this, didn’t you? I wouldn’t have fought over her with you if you had told me this earlier.”

With that, he turned around in a huff and left. Before leaving, he even cast a frustrated look at Stella. Letting out a sigh of relief that the incident had passed, she plopped herself onto the bed, still feeling rather flustered.

When Miles saw the entrance tickets on the desk, he casually commented, “Looks like you’ve been enjoying yourself for the past couple of days!”

“Yeah, I’ve never traveled far since I was born, and this trip opened my eyes, so I was in a good mood,” she admitted with downcast eyes.

As she rubbed her fair and delicate hands together, she felt a pang of unpleasantness in her heart over what he said earlier. By announcing their relationship in such a brazen manner, he was definitely not trying to protect her, but she couldn’t figure out the exact reason why he would do that either.

“Have you been to the undersea tunnel under the tower?” he asked.

“Not yet.”

Chuckling heartily as though he already expected her reply, he suggested, “Should I take you there?”

After what happened with William, Stella felt that it would be safer to travel with a man rather than going everywhere alone, especially since this man’s words could greatly affect William’s actions. Thus, she nodded in agreement.

The undersea tunnel could be explored by traveling in electric carts. Miles bought tickets for two and they sat while waiting for the small electric cart to arrive at the revolving platform. It was the first time for a small town girl like Stella to ride something like this, so it was a novel experience for her. Then, they got into the train and it started moving into the tunnel.

Maybe Miles had been on this ride many times before, so he wasn’t curious about it as he sat down while she looked outside the window. After the train entered the tunnel, the bright, colorful neon lights in the tunnel lit up, and there was even music.

Despite the fact that she was already an adult, she still acted like a child when she saw the view. When the music reached its climax and all the neon lights lit up, Stella, who was standing in the front of the cart, turned around to Miles behind her and said, “It’s so pretty.”

Although it was just a quick glance, she saw that his eyes were half-closed. Uh, he was the one who suggested coming here, so why is he dozing off when the view is so pretty?

When he heard that, Miles took a look at her and saw that her eyes were twinkling with delight. He had never seen her smile so brilliantly before.

Previously, she would half-conceal her smile because she was trying to hide her true thoughts, acting as though she would expose herself if she laughed. Maybe she was timid and lacked a sense of security, which explained why she didn’t want to expose her emotions easily in front of others. Also, it could be because she felt a little inferior since she was married, and her marriage was not a happy one.
