The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2136

The large theater screen played a familiar opening sequence.

It was the exact same movie she and Joshua had watched three years ago.

A suffocating wave of dread washed over Stella.

Was it a coincidence?

Or...

The theater was pitch black, illuminated only by the faint, eerie glow of the screen, which hid the shock on her face.

It took a long moment for Stella to shake off her paralyzing disbelief.

She slowly turned her head to look at the man beside her.

Joshua seemed completely oblivious to her reaction, his attention fixated on the screen with unusual intensity.

As if sensing her unblinking stare, he turned to meet her gaze.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me instead of watching the movie?"

"Why are we watching this film?" she asked.

"Is there a problem with it?" Joshua replied.

Stella locked eyes with him. "This movie came out years ago."

His dark eyes were remarkably bright, reflecting the light from the screen.

He looked genuinely confused by her question. "Are we not allowed to watch older movies?"

"We can," Stella said tightly. "But why this specific one?"

Joshua's tone was indifferent. "I have no idea. Aurora picked it out. Should I call and ask her for you?"

He pulled out his phone, making a move to dial Aurora's number.

Snapping back to reality, Stella stopped him.

She took a deep breath. "Forget it. You don't need to ask."

His dark eyes were as deep and quiet as the ocean. "Have you seen it before?"

Stella offered a soft hum of agreement. "Yes."

"Did you watch it with that bodyguard of yours?" Joshua asked.
