Chapter 48 She Is Pitiable
She had been dying to ask about Yvonne North. That woman piqued her curiosity, and she put Stella at a loss. When Stella asked that question, she didn’t turn his way, but she could see him glancing at her from the corner of her eyes.
A long while later, he said, “And you said you aren’t jealous.”
Her face turned redder, and she stared downward. “I’m just asking.”
At that, Miles pointed at her face. “So what’s with the blushing?”
Even though there weren’t many people on the streets, Miles would get them into a car crash if he kept driving that way. Hence, Stella quickly stopped the conversation by not talking. She looked outside, and fireworks were donning the sky. They bloomed for a single, gorgeous moment, and then they were gone. She saw fireworks that cost a hundred grand a second on her Twitter before, but they were pretty. Hollowcrest had a lot of rich people, for Stella saw fireworks that bloomed in the shape of a heart, while some bloomed in different colors. They’re gorgeous.
“Look. They’re beautiful.” Stella smiled at him as she spoke.
Upon hearing that, Miles took a glance. “Where are these coming from?”
“I-I think it’s from Lake Jojo.” Stella confirmed the direction. The same place we hugged, and the same place he told me I owe him a child. His mood was really bad then.
Stella thought he would send her home, but he drove further and further away from her house. Instead, he was driving them closer and closer to his house. Today’s New Year’s Eve. Where is he taking me? “Where are you taking me to, Mr. Grant?” she asked. She was a married woman, and staying out for a whole night was making her feel guilty enough, especially when she was staying with Miles.
“Home,” he replied calmly.
“B-But I’m a married woman.” She sounded nervous.
At that, Miles gave her a cryptic look. “So? Does that have anything to do with making dumplings?”
D-Dumplings? Stella thought he was going to be brazen and bring her back to his home so he could do her. “But if you didn’t bump into me, who would you ask for help then?” Stella asked.
