Chapter 122
In the cafe.
Stella looked around the familiar decor but remained in silence. The waiter served them coffee. Both of them had ordered cappuccino. She actually preferred espresso. She liked the kind of pure bitterness.
Yvonne had a different preference-she had a sweet tooth.
It was only after Yvonne made her order that Stella ordered the same one. This was the very cafe she met with Guinevere the last time. She didn’t expect that she would come here again and sit on the very same table. The only difference was that now, she was with Yvonne.
It felt totally different. Yvonne didn’t know where to start. She called out to Stella out of impulse. But after she calmed down, she regretted it.
But seeing Stella even more anxious than her, she slowly calmed down.
“Do you want to tell me anything about that day?” She didn’t want to be judgemental, so she didn’t sound too definitive. She still hoped that it was a misunderstanding. Stella’s face turned sour. “I don’t know what I should say. Maybe you wouldn’t believe me even if I told you; even I find it ridiculous.”
Wasn’t it? When she was his wife, he never took her seriously and simply treated her as a dispensable houseworker.
