The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2068

"The second is that she meant absolutely nothing to me, so there was no need to bring her up," Joshua said.

"Which one... do you lean toward?" Stella asked.

"Whichever it is, if I chose to forget her, it means I was already done with her."

Joshua casually tossed the ring back into the box. "This person doesn't matter to me anymore. Why go looking for a headache?"

Hearing those words, Stella didn't know if she should feel heartbroken or relieved.

All she could manage was, "That's a very healthy mindset. Admirable."

Joshua smiled faintly and let the subject drop.

"Let's head back."

...

Over the following weeks, Stella spent every spare moment she had at the Auto Repair Shop.

Keeping her promise, she always texted Joshua before she headed over.

Most of the time, he showed up. Only once or twice was he too tied up with business to make it.

Slowly but surely, Stella finished the intricate custom paint job.

This time, there were no disasters.

Joshua personally inspected the car with Stella present.

Though the ordeal had dragged on for quite some time, the final result was flawless.

After signing off on the vehicle, Joshua turned to her. "The car is perfect. So... next up, I'll need to rely on you to help me find the woman who played the violin in the gardens."

Stella braced herself. "...Right. I will do my best to look into it, but I can't guarantee I'll find her."

Joshua offered a gentle smile. "That's fine. Knowing you're willing to help is enough."

After witnessing how ruthlessly demanding Joshua had been over the fender bender, his sudden easygoing attitude gave Stella a strange sense of whiplash. She wasn't used to him being this agreeable.

"Since you're satisfied with the car, I'll be heading out," Stella said.
