The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 58

Back at the coffee shop.

Asher stepped forward, speaking respectfully to Stella, who was resting her eyes. "It's about time."

Upon hearing his voice.

Stella opened her eyes, her mist-filled gaze carrying a hint of lazy gentleness.

Julian, sitting just a short distance across from her, felt his heart skip a beat the moment she looked up...

For a split second, he felt like he was looking at the Stella who had spent the last three years with the Sinclairs.

If he looked closely, Stella was undeniably stunning.

Back in school, countless people had stopped to admire her beauty, only to retreat when they experienced her fiery temper...

As for their marriage.

Even though she had tried so hard to change for him, the sheer humiliation of being bought for five hundred million dollars had tainted everything!

That was why he refused to be intimate with her...

Seeing the sudden softness in her eyes now, Julian's chest tightened.

"Actually, we..." don't have to divorce!

Before he could finish the sentence, Stella stood up.

The lazy gentleness vanished from her eyes, replaced by a cold demand. "Grab him and let's go!"

The illusion of softness shattered the moment she spoke.

Julian froze.

His heart plummeted just as quickly as it had soared, completely jarred by her rapid shift from warm to ice-cold.

Asher nodded. "Yes, ma'am!"

Stella turned and headed for the door while Asher stepped up, fully prepared to drag Julian out by the collar.

He truly was Stella's right-hand man—they had the exact same ruthless temperament!

Julian's face turned livid. "I can walk!"

The moment he spoke, the pain in his jaw flared up intensely!

This wretched woman, where did she get this kind of monstrous strength?

Every time he opened his mouth, his jaw felt swollen, the pain piercing straight to his core!

Stella chuckled. "If you had just been this obedient since yesterday, you wouldn't have taken so many beatings!"

Julian glared at her.

Hearing the word 'beatings' only fueled the vicious resentment in his eyes!

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of The City Registry.

As he stepped out of the car, Julian hesitated.

He knew perfectly well that the moment he finalized the divorce with Stella today, he would be walking back into a nightmare at the Sinclair estate.

And it wouldn't just be him; it would affect Ivy, who had already been kicked out of the Sloane family...

If he lost his value to his grandparents because of this divorce, he wouldn't even have the money to pay for Ivy's medical treatments.

So, he couldn't get divorced...

In just a few seconds, Julian calculated the stakes.

Even if just for Ivy's sake, he couldn't divorce Stella until his grandparents got their hands on that Zenith Cipher!!

"We need to talk," Julian said, his voice suffocatingly tight.

But Stella didn't give him a single second to hesitate. The moment the words left his mouth, she grabbed him by the tie.

And forcefully dragged him out of the car!

It was a brutal, merciless movement.

Julian was choked, letting out a muffled, "Ugh—!"

This damn woman, why was she so violent? What had the last three years meant to her?

She was the one who insisted on marrying him...

And now, why was this happening?
