Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 1028

Whenever Stella brought up the past, Evan was the one most at fault.

He could not defend himself against any of it.

So now that he had lost the argument, he simply wanted to stop talking about it.

“You’d better let go of me,” Stella warned.

“No.”

The moment the word left his mouth, Stella stomped hard on his foot.

Evan grunted in pain and released her.

This woman…

“Are you really that heartless?”

He had already swallowed his pride and humbled himself before her, yet she still refused to soften toward him.

Stella turned and headed for the door.

“Where are you going?” Evan asked.

“Wherever I’m supposed to be. Are you going to stop me?”

“You can’t leave this place without my permission.”

Stella stopped.

Her expression darkened instantly.

The words brought her straight back to Hogarth Castle.

Back then, she had not even been allowed to step outside without Aaron’s permission.

And now Evan was doing the same thing.

Stella turned to look at him, her eyes filled with disgust.

Evan’s heart sank beneath that gaze.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I honestly don’t know what to say about you.”

Evan said nothing.

“You really are all the same.”

All the same.

As far as Stella was concerned, Evan, Felix, and Aaron were no different from one another.

“The same as who?” Evan demanded.

His unease deepened at her words.

Stella gave a cold snort but did not answer.

She did not need to.

That sound alone told Evan she was comparing him to Felix.

He knew exactly what she meant.

Every time Summer called, he had left Stella to go help her without the slightest hesitation.

Had he not behaved as though he had every right to do that?

“Are you planning to keep me locked up too?” Stella asked.

“No. It’s just that you…”

“What? It isn’t safe for me to go outside?”

Stella cut him off coldly before he could finish.

Evan paused.

Unsafe?

“We don’t know what Felix and Aaron are planning next,” he said. “Stay in Seaborne for now. I’ll investigate them thoroughly before we decide anything else.”

He had already made the mistake of letting her return to Eirden once.

At the time, he had assumed that as the cherished daughter of the Hogarth family, no one there would dare mistreat her.

Instead…

Back then, Evan had been under pressure from both Felix and Stella and had not been able to keep track of everything.

But things were different now.

From this point forward, he intended to uncover every detail of anything involving her.
