Love At The Next Stop Novel

Chapter 121 Naming Things the Same Way as Him

“Are you free this evening, Stella?” The light and melodious voice of a woman could be heard over the phone.

“I’m at the airport now, so I probably won’t be free!”

“It’s like this, Stella. My flight back to the States is also this evening, about the same timing as yours. Could you please change your flight time a little because I would like to speak with you for a while.”

Stella had long since heard that Audrey drifted away from Matthew because of her busy work, and it seemed like she wasn’t being dramatic or pretentious this time; she really wasn’t free. Since there were flights back to Murdough every two to three hours, and it was easy for her to make the change, she made an appointment with her at a cafe.

The moment she saw Audrey, she was still stunned by her elegance and unique temperament of an independent woman, and she stood up unwittingly as she greeted her. “How are you, Miss Fraser? I’m Stella Johansson.”

With a smile, she said, “I’m here to put in some good words for my ex-husband. He’s gentle and considerate, all in all a good man whom I don’t have the good fortune to spend time with because I’m too busy. Even though he likes you, I still don’t know who’s the one you like. But then, there aren’t many men in this world who are better than Matthew, so please think about it carefully. After you had a talk with him yesterday, he was very upset and had a drink. He didn’t even have such deep feelings for me back then, and though I’m not that interested in relationships, I know that it’s better to find a person who loves you rather than the person you love. That way, you can save yourself some heartache. Plus, you’ll definitely fall in love with him in time.”

After she had said her piece, Audrey left.

Initially, Stella didn’t feel anything toward her words, but something she said left a deep impression on her. Find someone who loves you rather than the person you like.

For that man, she went through jealousy and heartbreak; she almost went to jail as well, and she was anxious all the time. This was all because she really loved him a lot.

Despite that, were his feelings the same for her?

After changing her flight, Stella had two more hours to spare before her departure, and while she was waiting at the cafe, someone came to her—Matthew.

Audrey was probably the one who told him I’m here, she thought.

Among the countless divorced couples, it was difficult to find one that didn’t end up as enemies, but it was even more rare to find divorced couples who could maintain such a harmonious relationship. There were only a handful of people like Audrey who would still be willing to look for a girlfriend on Matthew’s behalf.

I don’t even know if Matthew was the nice person here, or if it was Audrey, she thought. Maybe both of them are similarly good people.

Just when she was pondering on this thought, Matthew passed by the glass door on the outside and came in.

Looking a little out of breath, Matthew gave her a little pendant made out of jade in the shape of a man with his feet on a sewing machine and looking very serious. “You’ll be starting your own brand soon, and I don’t have anything for you as a gift. This is a lucky charm my mother gave me when I was preparing to start Amon back then. A story lies within it, but I won’t tell it to you now. One day, you’ll understand it yourself. I wish you success!” After he said that, he turned to leave, and the charm remained with Stella.
