Stella raised her eyebrow, flinging the man's hand away, "I've had a rocky life with ups and downs over the years and have teetered on the edge of hell several times, what wouldn't I dare?"
So Stella knew what kind of person Alfred was. The Marsh family was so complicated.
And he was a cripple who had mastered it all, so what kind of a man he really was, Stella knew more or less.
Ruthless and cold.
It doesn't even begin to describe Alfred, probably he is a walking devil.
"Stella!"
The man's tone was heavier, and the look in his eyes at her became sharper.
Stella looked somewhat puzzled at the sharpness under the man's eyes, and without waiting for her to speak, Hector said, "Why do you have to trample yourself like this?"
Trample?
That's a funny thing to say.
Stella, "When I'm not trampling on myself, I'm living like a walking dead. So what's the difference?"
The original sharpness in his dark eyes seemed to have something shattering in them at the moment, and he just looked at Stella quietly.
Stella withdrew her glance and turned towards her car, letting the men stand in the cold wind.
The danger on the man's body completely radiated and spread. Libby heard the news that Hector had arrived.
The aggression disappeared, and she flew out like a bird and was about to run to Hector, but what she just saw was Hector holding Stella's hand.
It seems to be advising her not to marry the cripple of the Marsh family.
Alfred, after being crippled, has an eccentric and changeable personality, could it be that he is worried about Stella?
Libby's heart was in her throat at the thought of these two being so nice back then, and it was clear that she did not want them to meet each other.
All these years, Stella had not been allowed to return, but in fact, they were worried about the resurgence between Hector and Stella.
When she thought of what happened back then, Libby became even more panicked. All these years since Stella didn't come back, she thought Stella was not between her and Hector anymore.
But when she looked at Hector just now, he didn't look like someone who had completely forgotten about Stella in any way.
Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward, "Hector."
The man returned to his senses.
The eyes that looked at her were tinged with tenderness.
"What did you say to sister?" She asked.
In front of Hector, there is still some restraint, so this is the difference between caring and not caring.
Because she cared for Hector, Libby always wore caution in front of him.
Even if she knows in her heart that this man never have her in his eyes.
The man stepped forward, took her hand and said, "Go in first."
No direct answer to Libby's question.
And the temperature of the man's hand made Libby felt cold.
She was scared.
......
It has been rainy for the past few days in Yee City, and the only food Emma and Lois have right now is a few potatoes that Emma got in exchange for working for a neighbour yesterday.
Lois looked outside at the foggy weather and felt cold.
