Love At The Next Stop Novel

Chapter 94 Are You Flirting With Me?

Stella’s anxious gaze almost burnt a hole through Miles, as though she would not let go of him if he refused to take back what he had said.

His gaze traveled down to her smooth and tiny hand, which was gripping his wrist with considerable force.

He had wanted to get to his car and leave, but the thought disappeared as he started strolling down the street instead. “But I always have the impression that you’re with him.”

“That’s not true! It’s all fake! I did watch a movie with Xavier, but we’ve never had any form of intimacy!” Her body was slightly tilted toward him. Frowning, she looked at him walking away and followed closely behind.

There was a saying that went, ‘words of a man on his deathbed always come from the heart’. Even though Stella was nowhere close to death, the desperation was similar. Feeling that the deadline of her departure was inching closer, she would not allow the misunderstanding between them to go unresolved.

She heard his voice that was more relaxed now. “Who’d believe that?”

At that moment, they happened to be walking past a crowded area. It appeared that a makeup brand had recently opened a store there, and many women were gearing up to throng the store for the massive opening sales.

Gradually, her grip softened on his wrist, and her hand finally gave way.

Freed from her grip, he casually wandered 5 meters away in front of her.

“Miles Grant, if you don’t believe me, I will publicly announce the size of your manhood!” jumping in frustration, Stella yelled out behind him. Since she had recently measured his size, her memory was still fresh. Given Miles’ gentlemanly and sophisticated image that was immensely popular among women, the crowd around them would likely be very interested in the information.

Miles wondered how she managed to muster up the courage to threaten him. Sliding his hands into his pockets, he turned around slowly while glancing at the crowds of young women that were heading in and out of the popular store.

Heh, our proper young lady has learned some tricks to threaten people. After selling my looks at the show today for her, she is now going to sell her knowledge of… my private parts. Damn.

“Who did you learn this trick from? That’s quite obscene,” he turned around and uttered. She was still fuming at his distrust. They were not in bed now, and she was not acting out at him. She simply could not stand being labeled as promiscuous by him, especially when she was leaving the country soon.

Despite her attempt at rationally assessing the situation, and despite the fact that she had consented for Yulia to pursue Miles, she still had a sliver of hope that she could be with him. He was the first and only man in her life. For a woman, getting intimate with a man would also mean that she had given her heart to him. It was understandable that she had her fantasies about Miles.

Under the dazzling lights of Hollowcrest City’s night, she fired back at him, “I learned everything from you!”

Of course I have picked up all my tricks from you, Miles Grant!
