Love At The Next Stop Novel

Chapter 137 I Don’t Love You Anymore

Unknowingly, Stella’s face was covered in tears. She could not even hear Korbin calling her to watch the New Year Night Live from the living room.

She was anxious earlier, but her mood had relaxed now.

On New Year’s Eve, Miles called her again, during which she professed that she missed him half-heartedly with a smile, concealing all the complicated emotions in her.

During the New Year, Yulia and Korbin paid a visit to her place. She was seated on the sofa, watching some TV programs.

She expected Yulia’s glee but chose to ignore it. Yulia was probably gloating because she had successfully driven a wedge between Miles and her.

After New Year, Stella went back to work, burying herself in fashion design to stop herself from overthinking, for she did not want to live in the worries of the past.

As usual, she went into Matthew’s company building, where Audrey was present. Audrey was either in the opposite building or staring at her from afar.

After New Year, Miles returned home and was picked up from the airport by Stella, who had put on a normal face.

When they met again, they hugged and kissed. Stella pretended that nothing had happened as she kissed him with her head tilted, telling him how much she had missed him.

He replied to her in a hoarse voice while hugging her with one arm. Days felt like years when they were separated. It was tough to imagine the torture of separation for a year.

This time, Stella did not say ‘I love you’ to Miles because she was fully aware of the events that were going to unfold down the road.

At that moment, her only focus was to put on a show with Miles according to the script until their relationship ended.

Sadly, Miles had taken their act too seriously, and similarly, she was hopelessly addicted to and obsessed with the act.

They took a cab home from the airport. Once they were home, Miles eagerly brought her upstairs to their bedroom. There, he immediately started planting aggressive kisses on her.

She knew that it had been a month since her miscarriage, so it was safe to have intimacy with him.

After their passionate session, she lay down on the bed with her shoulders bare, facing away from him.

His phone suddenly buzzed. Feeling tired, he leaned back on the headboard and scrolled his phone to find that Yulia had messaged him on WhatsApp with some photo attachments.

Beside him, Stella knew very well about the content in the message. After all, she had asked Audrey to send the photos to Yulia, knowing that Yulia would make a fuss out of the photos even if she did not know who the sender was. Yulia being herself, she would definitely forward the photos to Miles without verifying the truth because those photos would put her at an advantage against Stella.

The photos included candid shots of Stella playing Go with Matthew, their dinners, Stella standing with her eyes closed as Matthew picked a fallen eyelash away from her cheek, and more explicit photos. There were too many to count.

Stella had never understood the effort needed for a photo shoot until she had to do so. After her miscarriage, Matthew seemed to have cleared up his feelings for her and settled into a mentor role, occasionally taking care of her like a father or an older brother.
