The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299 I Will Go With You

Stella leaned comfortably against Abraham’s chest.

Just like when she was little, whenever Abraham helped dry her hair, she always sat still without moving

Abraham looked down and saw the tip of her small, cute nose, slightly flushed.

Her round checks, already soft with baby fat, were now rosy and warm.

Stella had already been tired, and now with Abraham massaging her like this, sleepiness quickly crept in.

Abraham’s gaze dropped further and noticed her towel had come loose.

She had developed well over the past few years, and looking at the barely–covered curves, he couldn’t help but let a faint smile curl at the comer of his lips.

No one knew what new thoughts had just taken root in Abraham’s heart.

Completely unaware, Stella lazily spoke, “Abel said there’s a situation. Was it that heartless b’stard Derrick again causing trouble

“He wouldn’t dare now,” Abraham said flatly.

Things had already gone wrong with Monroe, and he was swamped. He didn’t have the time for anything else.

Stella opened her eyes a little. Then what is it?”

“We need to head back to Rivermount.”

Hearing that, Stella’s brows twitched hard. “Not going back to Falvarin? I miss Mom.”

Ever since Evelyn had shown such a supportive attitude over the phone, Stella had started feeling a lot more at ease.

She’d wanted to go before, too, but the moment she thought about how things were progressing with Abraham, she didn’t know how to face it.

But Evelyn’s reaction had surprised her, and comforted her at the same time.

Her hair was almost dry. Abraham tossed the towel aside. “Do you want me to take you back first?”

“What?” Stella blinked.

Abraham said, “Something came up. I need to head out. It won’t take more than a few days.”

“Then I’ll go with you,” Stella said softly, her voice sweet and gentle as her arms wrapped around his lean waist..

She really did miss Evelyn, but she also truly didn’t want to be apart from Abraham.

Hearing her mutter and grumble in that half–asleep voice, a mischievous smirk tugged at the man’s lips. He scooped her up. and tossed her onto the small bed, following right after with a dominant move.

Meanwhile, over in Rivermount, Ethan rushed to Seaflats Cove the moment he heard about the intense shootout that happened there last night.

But by the time he arrived, the place had already been cleaned up. Everything looked completely normal.

Just then, Tessa happened to be walking out.

1/2

at Seaflats Cove..

By the time she woke up in the morning, the place had been restored like nothing had ever happened.

Seeing Ethan, Tessa frowned. “What are you doing here pretending to care?”

Not even if she were dead would Tessa believe Ethan actually cared about Stella’s well–being.

Ethan’s face, already grim, darkened even more. He gritted his teeth. “I’m asking you! How is she?” His eyes had turned cold.

Tessa’s patience ran out. “What does it matter to you? Ethan, you’ve already got Lillian in your heart, don’t go stuffing Star in there too. Star would think it’s filthy. And she doesn’t need it.”

Ethan’s breathing grew ragged. His fists clenched. “I just want to know if she’s okay.”

Tessa snapped back. “People always wait until they lose something to realize they care. But Star was never yours to begin

with

With that, she turned and walked off, not bothering to say another word to him.

When Abraham came back to Rivermount, Tessa had already seen things clearly.

Even if Lillian didn’t return, Stella would never end up with Ethan.

Especially when she remembered the wedding dress Stella had tried on. Tessa had overheard something that day- something about the dress being designed by a certain company.

At the time, she hadn’t thought much of it.

But now that she thought back, it didn’t seem like Stella went to try on the dress because of Ethan.

It was because that wedding dress was designed by a particular company.

And from how it looked, that company was very likely connected to Abraham.

Ethan was an idiot. He never gave Stella his real heart And back then, Tessa had even felt sorry for Stella for a long time. But now that she saw things clearly, it turned out Stella never gave him her heart either.

“Star’s really something. Tessa muttered to herself as she drove.

Ethan stood in the cold wind, wanting to go inside to check, but the guards didn’t budge an inch.

When Eddie came out, he saw Ethan’s guy, Jason, still arguing with the security team.

Eddie didn’t want to get involved at first. But thinking about how furious Abraham had been this time, he figured something major was bound to happen now that they were back in Rivermount.

He finally pulled his car over and rolled the window halfway down.
