Chapter 451

Stella wiped away her tears, forcing a smile “Yeah, I used to be a flirt master, but why have I become so weak now? Love really can be a killer.”

I chuckled lightly, a sour feeling creeping into my heart. I, too, had lost ten years of my youth to the so-called love.

Neil and Mitch hadn’t come out yet. They were probably still chatting.

As I prepared to drive home, I noticed a small figure darting around a corner not too far away. It looked like Hiram!

Unsure, I decided to wait in my car. After about ten seconds, sure enough, Hiram appeared again, sneaking glances at his wristwatch and looking around cautiously. Karina was nowhere in sight.

Could it be that Neil brought him? But would Neil just leave him alone outside? I didn’t think so.
