Marshall came here by bus, but Stella did not even have her ID with her. She could only come by a private car, where each passenger would get off at different places. In that way, the car would have to make a few different stops, which would cause her to arrive slower than taking a direct bus.
So, he decided to stay after thinking about that.
Arthur did not know what had happened, but he was delighted to have a guest over. He had provided Marshall with a place to stay and also cooked various delicacies for him.
Marshall was still worried about Stella, so he did not really enjoy any of the food.
He stayed at Arthur’s place for two days, yet Stella did not show up. On the third morning, he suddenly woke up from a nightmare.
There was always an endless fire in his previous dreams. However, this time, he dreamed of Stella jumping off the bridge with Keegan.
He was drenched in cold sweat as he abruptly opened his eyes. He stared at the old ceiling above him. It took him some time to finally get over the nightmare.
It had been three days, and she should have arrived regardless of the type of transportation she took.
Perhaps she had never intended to come here in the first place.
Marshall dared not to waste any more time, so he quickly packed up and wanted to bid Arthur farewell.
Arthur had gone out for a walk very early in the morning because he could not sleep for long after getting older.
Although Marshall was not very used to staying there, he was polite. Plus, his good looks made a favorable impression on the neighbors within just a few days.
So, when they heard that he was looking for Arthur, they immediately told him where he was. Very soon, Marshall found Arthur exercising in the park.
As he was approaching Arthur, he overheard some elderly ladies who had just finished exercising having a chat.
“I went up the hill a few days ago and saw someone hiking up the rock again.
