Love At The Next Stop Novel

Chapter 49 Where Does It Hurt?

Stella was exhausted from Miles’ movements. Her body rejected him at first, but eventually, it started to cooperate with him. This is probably the so-called ‘married woman’ he needs.

Just like that, Miles hugged her, and they drifted to sleep. When Stella woke up the next day, she saw Miles wearing his shirt on the bed, facing her with his back. It was the last day of the year last night, and she didn’t expect the year to end by her finally falling for him.

Miles heard her getting up, and he said, “You’re awake?” Stella nodded, and she frowned when the pain from last night shot up within her. “I didn’t do it with you before this because you had a miscarriage,” he explained.

So he had a lot of sexual thoughts about me? Well, at least I know he had it in Murdough. At that thought, she turned away, her face scarlet.

“What are you doing today?” he asked.

“I’m going home.” She noticed her voice was hoarse after saying that. Maybe I was too tired last night.

“Why don’t I take you to see the lights?” he said.

“No,” she replied immediately. “I don’t want to show up in public with you.”

Hollowcrest wasn’t a big place, and so was the world. She was worried she might bump into anyone she shouldn’t; that would ruin her life.

At that, Miles snorted and turned around. “Worried your reputation as a good wife would be ruined? Don’t worry. Your life’s already riled up the moment you slept with me. I’m letting the whole of Hollowcrest know you’re my woman.”

Stella blushed again after he said that. She’s always so adorable when she blushes, he thought.

After that, Stella pulled the blanket down. “But I don’t want to. I can’t get a divorce that way.”

When Miles heard that, he stopped buttoning his shirt for a moment. “You have me, don’t you? I’ll send you home.”

“It hurts,” she grumbled. “Can I lie down for a bit more, Mr. Grant?”
