Stella was speechless.
Everything she had asked him was purely literal, with no hidden agenda. But hearing him say it made it sound like she had some ulterior, obsessive motive.
When she didn't respond, Joshua continued, "Sorry, but I don't give my personal address to strangers just for the sake of a few flowers."
With that, he hung up.
A cool breeze swept past, snapping Stella back to reality. She hadn't even asked for his home address, had she? She just wanted a drop-off location so she could send a courier.
She looked down at the Black Roses in her hand.
Any plant grown in the Quinn family's botanical gardens was incredibly rare and exotic. These few blooms were easily worth millions of dollars.
Stella wasn't short on money. But perhaps because she grew up in an ordinary family, she despised waste. Even though Nora provided her with a comfortable life now, she couldn't just casually toss something so valuable into the trash.
Setting the flowers aside, she began packing up the items in Joshua's car.
He didn't have much in there, and nothing seemed overly precious.
When she opened the final compartment, her eyes landed on a familiar velvet box.
Almost on autopilot, she popped the lid open. Inside rested an even more familiar object—a ring.
Stella recognized it instantly. It was the wedding ring she had custom-designed. And judging by the size, it was clearly the women's band.
Even though she knew it was her own creation, she couldn't stop herself from slipping it onto her ring finger. It was a perfect fit.
Checking the engraved initials on the inner band confirmed it beyond a shadow of a doubt. It was hers.

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
Can’t wait to see what joshua will do...
Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
