The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 You Don’t Knock, I Don’t Forget

She was an adult now–what if she’d been changing?

Abraham placed the remedy on the bedside table, sat down, and pulled the blanket off her head.

“What haven’t I seen, hm?”

Stella’s brain went boom at that, her entire body flushing hot.

She snatched the blanket back and tried to hide.

But Abraham was faster–he pulled her into his lap. “Be good. Drink the remedy before sleeping.”

The neckline of her robe dipped a little, and in that moment, Abraham got a very clear view of just how well she’d developed.

He cleared his throat and pulled the blanket tightly around her before handing her the cup. “Drink. Now.”

Stella wriggled. “I can drink it myself.”

“Behave.”

One hand pressed against her waist–his gentle tone carried a firm command.

Abraham knew she hated the taste of the remedy. If she got away from him now, she’d make up a dozen excuses not to drink

Stella sniffed the bowl. “Ugh… Can I let it cool a little?”

“Want me to

to feed you?”

Stella blinked, Feed?What did he mean by that?

She glanced up at Abraham cautiously.

And met his serious, focused gaze.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Meanwhile, Ethan was going insane.

The moment he saw that man’s car go through the gates, every event from the past few weeks smashed together in his head.

“When did this place get a new owner!”

“Not long ago–maybe in the past month, Jason replied after a moment.

Everyone had known Verdant Villa was vacant before.

Ethan scoffed. “The past month. Hah.”

A lot had happened in that time. Ever since he delayed the wedding with Stella, it had all gone downhill.

But what he couldn’t forget was the man he’d run into at Kingston Heights.

After that, Stella had disappeared from there–and now she was here.

Eddie and Rianne were connected to her Now Verdant Villa too?

Was she doing this on purpose?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got

Jason hesitated “Should we ask Ms Stella?”

From the looks of it, Stella was clearly living here now.

If Ethan wanted to buy this place for Lillian, he’d need to go through her.

That thought made Ethan’s face darken even further

“Ask her what? So she can humilate Lillian?“

Jason didn’t reply

Humiliation? From what they’d seen, Stella had been playing them both–Ethan and Lillian.

They’d been losing sleep over this villa, only to find out Stella was already living in it.

No wonder Ethan looked ready to explode.

Bazz, bzzz–his phone vibrated agai

Judson,

Ethan ignored it.

So Judson called Jason instead–and he didn’t dare ignore it.

“Sir.” Jason answered, voice steady.

“Give the phone to Ethan.” Judson ordered. His voice was tight and dangerous.

Jason glanced toward the back seat. “Sir, it’s your father.”

Ethan opened his eyes and took the phone. “Father.”

“You went to Verdant Villa again?”

Judson’s tone was glacial:

Ethan stayed silent.

Judson growled. “So you’re really ignoring everything I’ve said.”

His tone was like a loaded gun.

“I’m going to meet the Luke heir today.” Ethan said, slow and deliberate, voice heavy with exhaustion.

“You don’t need to,” Judson snapped–and hung up.

Ethan blinked in surprise at the abrupt ending.

No more scolding? That wasn’t like his father.

But deep down, an uneasy feeling had begun to stir

Her phone had been vibrating non–stop, but she’d silenced it and slept straight through to past 7 p.m.

When she woke up, she noticed several missed calls from unknown numbers.

Just as she was about to check, another unfamiliar number started calling.
