Chapter 830
Back in Eirden, Stella was restless too.
She had not seen Felix all day.
He had not come by once.
Then, that evening, Gray reported, “Mr. Hernandez has people preventing ours from searching for
Summer.”
Stella’s hand paused around her pen.
She looked up at Gray.
“He sent people to stop us too?”
“Yes.”
Gray nodded, his expression grave.
Stella had made it very clear to Felix that she would find Summer no matter what.
And now…
Felix was just as determined to protect her.
Stella took a slow breath.
“I understand.”
“What should we do?”
“Keep looking.”
The two words came through clenched teeth.
Even if Felix was determined to help Summer, Stella was just as determined to find her.
No one would be allowed to stand in her way.
Gray nodded.
“I’ll send more people.”
“Okay.”
Gray left.
Stella was alone in the study.
An icy chill surrounded her.

Felix
What kind of man was he really?
Back in Harbor City, he had seemed like someone she could trust.
So why was he doing this now?
Stella could not understand why Felix was protecting Summer so fiercely.
When Aaron returned, he found Stella sitting alone in the study.
There was an unlit cigarette between her fingers.
In her other hand, she turned a lighter over and over, as though she might light it at any moment.
Aaron frowned.
He walked over, pulled out the chair across from her desk, and sat down.
The moment Stella saw him, she came back to herself.
She was surprised he had returned this early.
“The housekeeper said you probably wouldn’t be back for the next few days.”
“Do you want to smoke?”
“Yes.”
When men were frustrated, they smoked.
They acted like it worked better than drinking.
Stella wanted to see if it would help too.
Aaron saw the frustration between her brows.
A faint smile touched his lips.
“What’s bothering you so much that you want a cigarette?”
“Everything.”
Stella did not hide it.
It was the truth.
Everything around her was exhausting now.
The Hogarth family.
Felix.

And Evan
Evan sent her three messages almost every day.
Sometimes, he even called to talk about Felix.
“Tell me,” Aaron said.
“Can I go to Ravaria?
Stella looked at him.
