The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 86

He didn't respond immediately.

Instead, he pressed her small head against his chest, gently stroking her hair.

His touch was soft, filled with quiet reassurance.

Stella tilted her head up, her soft lips brushing against his Adam's apple. She paused for a moment.

Feeling the immediate shift in his body's reaction, her breathing grew heavy. "But this is something I absolutely have to resolve."

Her biggest fear was that the parasitic ghost would claw its way back into her body.

And that it would hurt Bash again...!

The searing heat between them instantly cooled into serious tension.

He looked down and kissed the tip of her nose, swallowing the words 'Don't be afraid'.

The dark intensity in his eyes was slowly swallowed by absolute, ruthless violence!

"The things that happened over the last three years are just too bizarre. So bizarre that...!"

Even someone as fierce as her felt a lingering trace of terror.

Thank god she didn't have any memories of being intimate with Julian. If she had remembered anything like that, she would have murdered him the second she woke up.

That disgusting bastard!

Forget about 'not easily inviting the desire to kill'!!

If she didn't completely destroy that ghost, she would never rid herself of the suffocating resentment burning inside her!

But based on Master Lucius's warning, it seemed acting on her murderous intent would end very badly for her...

Even so, she absolutely refused to swallow this humiliation!

Stella was truly exhausted.

By Sebastian's side, she finally felt a rare sense of safety. Leaning against his chest, she drifted off to sleep mid-sentence.

Sebastian pulled out his phone and sent Kellen a message: [Speed up the search for the person I asked you to find!]

When his little star had looked up from his arms and whispered 'I'm scared...' it had ignited a suffocating, terrifying rage deep within him.

When had Stella Channing ever been afraid of anything or anyone?

Nothing in this world should ever make her utter the word 'scared'!

Since that thing dared to make her feel fear, he was going to rip it out from the roots and destroy it!!

Kellen replied: [We have a lead!]

Reading the message, Sebastian glanced down at the sleeping girl in his arms, tightening his embrace just a fraction.
