"What are you crying for?"
"Beck, I'll find a way to make it up to you someday."
Beck didn't say a word. Someday?
If she can't even manage a simple apology now, acting as if she knows nothing, what about the future?
He saw that lifeless look on Stella again, his hand resting on her back. After a moment of thought, he gave her a firm squeeze.
"Stella, come with me to the hospital tomorrow, get a check-up."
Stella was startled, thinking he had noticed something, and immediately stepped back.
"I won't go."
"Haven't you noticed? You've lost a lot of weight."
From the first time he saw her to now, barely two months had passed, but she had slimmed down significantly, looking rather pitiful.
Stella was supposed to be this vibrant, fox-like beauty. How could she suddenly look like this? Could there be something wrong with her health?
Stella lowered her eyelashes.
"Beck, I'm really fine, I'm just... lovesick."
Hearing this, Beck was close to bursting out laughing.
After stringing along so many guys, how could she claim to be lovesick? That's almost an insult to the word 'like'.
"Oh? Got someone you're into lately?"
He asked, nonchalantly lighting a cigarette, his face clearly showing disbelief—as if to say, let's hear your story.
It was then Stella realized Beck had no interest in her whatsoever.
Sure, Beck might seem like a player, but he's actually the most upright and innocent member of the Sanders clan. Given her current status as his 'sister', somewhat related by blood to the Sanders, he definitely wouldn't see her as someone to be involved with romantically.
Talk about shooting herself in the foot.
Stella felt a wave of disappointment, especially noticing his mocking expression, which made her feel even worse.
In Beck's eyes, someone like her probably doesn't understand what liking someone means.
"Beck, I..."
Before she could finish, Beck, losing his patience, tossed the cigarette into a nearby trash can.
"Alright, that person you 'like' is really unlucky then. Does he know about all the other guys you have on the side?"
Stella gave a bitter smile, meeting his gaze.

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....
