Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 1000

Over the past few months, Stella had also quietly begun gathering people she could genuinely trust.

With their help covering her movements, she managed to leave Mance Island without trouble.

After leaving the island, Stella headed back to Sevi Valley first.

On the way, Remi said, “Good thing we got out fast. Felix’s and Aaron’s men really did start searching for you.”

“Their people were already there. Of course they were going to look for me.”

They had spent weeks turning every place upside down trying to find her.

Now that Felix finally knew she had been on Mance Island, he was bound to come after her the moment the operation against Litt ended.

Why could he not simply let her go?

Stella sighed.

She truly did not know what to say about Felix anymore.

“At this point, I have no idea why they’re still looking for me.”

Litt was already dead.

So why did Felix still want to find her?

The same went for Aaron.

Surely there was nothing left about her that they could exploit.

Before, they had wanted to use her as a bargaining chip in exchange for whatever Litt could offer them.

But now?

What could they possibly want from her this time?

Remi had no idea how to answer.

“Let’s return to Sevi Valley first,” she said.

As for what happened next, Remi had already contacted Amos for instructions.

His response had been clear.

She was to stay close to Stella and make sure she did not slip away halfway through the journey.

…

One day later, in Seaborne, the doors to the operating room finally opened.

Amos had been leaning against the wall.

The instant he heard the door, he straightened and turned toward the doctor coming out.

“How is he?”

He was asking about Evan.

To take Litt down this time, Evan had once again risked everything.

Litt had lost his life.

Evan had nearly lost his too.

Amos stood outside the recovery room with a cigarette between his fingers.

He took a drag but did not go inside.

A woman appeared behind him.

Her long, wine-red curls fell to her waist, giving her an appearance that was both gentle and alluring.

A warm hand settled on his shoulder.

“You haven’t slept in days, have you?”

There had been no chance to rest on Mance Island.

After returning to Seaborne, Amos had remained awake because of Evan’s condition.

Without turning around, he reached up and closed his hand around hers.

“Why did you come?”

He had not wanted her to see any of this.

They were no longer on the battlefield, but Evan’s injuries were still severe.

Amos did not want her anywhere near scenes like this.

“I came to see you,” she said softly. “I was worried.”

At those words, some of the tension finally left Amos’s rigid posture.
