The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2118

Only then did Stella realize she had actually followed him into his bedroom.

They hadn't known each other for long, and they hadn't met many times. Such behavior was truly inappropriate.

No wonder Joshua asked that.

Would he think of her as the kind of woman who casually goes home with any man?

Stella instinctively explained, "I've never been to Leonard's house, nor any other man's house. As for you..."

Stella looked at Joshua and said softly, "You're Laurel's friend. I trust her judgment; she wouldn't be wrong."

Joshua took a step forward, his long legs slowly closing the distance between them.

As Joshua drew nearer, a flurry of panic inevitably rose in Stella's chest.

A bedroom was everyone's most private space.

Even though she was best friends with Abby Murphy, she wouldn't casually wander into Abby's bedroom when visiting her house.

Yet now, for the sake of looking at a pair of earrings, she had walked right into Joshua's bedroom.

Could Joshua have gotten the wrong idea?

It was approaching midnight.

Outside the window, everything was pitch black.

Although the room was brightly lit, it felt slightly dim compared to the daytime.

The tall, lean figure of the man slowly approached, and the entire space seemed to close in around her.

Joshua stopped right in front of her, his gaze growing exceptionally intense.

"You don't seem scared at all." He sounded genuinely puzzled. "Do you trust me that much?"

Though slightly flustered, Stella truly didn't worry that Joshua would do anything to her.

"Yes, I trust that you're not that kind of person," Stella affirmed.

"I don't even know what kind of person I am myself." Joshua's dark eyes seemed to hold the night itself, deep and endless.

He stared into Stella's eyes, speaking slowly and deliberately. "We are in the middle of nowhere. There is no one else in this villa but you and me.
