Stella lowered her eyelashes, staying silent.
She took her time finishing her meal until the driver stood by her side, clearly signaling it was time to leave.
She glanced at Beck, but he wasn’t looking at her, engrossed in his laptop.
Sighing inwardly, Stella gave him one last deep look before she got up and followed the driver.
As her car was about to leave the estate, she noticed another car driving in.
A sudden curiosity overcame her; she wanted to see what Beck’s date looked like.
Probably someone elegant and sophisticated, right? That seemed to be Beck’s type.
Lowering her eyelashes again, she cracked open the window.
But the passing car had its doors shut tight, leaving her clueless about its occupants.
The driver glanced at her through the rearview mirror.
Worried about being discovered, Stella rolled up the window.
“Let’s go.”
The driver pressed the gas, and the car slowly left the area.
Back at Boris’s mansion, Stella felt oddly out of sorts, finding no joy in anything, her thoughts constantly drifting back to Beck.
She had countless flings but never fell in love; men were tools to be used, not recipients of her scarce affections.
Especially not Beck. He was a legitimate heir of the Sanders family, born with a silver spoon, never knowing hardship.
The thought was both amusing and bitter.
In the evening, Dave called her.
“Stella, Morgan got picked up by Jason’s guys. Bet he’s scared witless now,” Dave laughed, expecting Stella to join in, but she remained silent.
After a pause, he asked, “You feeling alright?”

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
