The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1946

Stella blinked in surprise and looked up at the man holding it.

Joshua stood in the doorway, offering the delicate flowers to her.

"For you, Star."

Seeing the affectionate smile in Joshua's eyes, Stella's breath hitched. A sharp pang of sorrow pierced her heart, and her eyes burned with sudden emotion.

She didn't take the bouquet; instead, she turned her head away, unable to meet his gaze.

Joshua wasn't deterred. He gently took her hand and murmured, "Star, we haven't been on a date in a long time. The weather is beautiful today. Let me take you out for a bit."

Stella honestly wasn't in the mood for a date, but seeing Joshua bringing her flowers and carefully planning an outing, she knew he was desperately trying to make her happy.

She just didn't have the heart to refuse him.

Finally, she accepted the flowers and nodded. "Alright, let me change my clothes first."

Joshua's smile deepened. "I'll wait for you downstairs."

A short while later, Stella came downstairs dressed for the day.

Joshua asked, "Is there anywhere specific you'd like to go, Star?"

She shook her head.

Joshua looked at her tenderly. "We've never actually been to the movies together. Want to catch a film first?"

"Okay," Stella agreed.

Joshua drove them to a luxury cinema downtown.

He hadn't rented out the entire theater this time, and the moment they walked into the lobby, they drew everyone's attention.

"Wow, that guy is gorgeous! Is he a movie star?"

"Take a picture and post it! Maybe someone knows who he is."

"Ugh! The hot guy already has a girlfriend. Talk about a total letdown!"

"They look so perfect together! What a gorgeous couple."

Before heading into the screening, Joshua turned to Stella. "Wait here for a second. I'm going to grab some drinks and popcorn."

"Alright."
