Chapter 428 Two Cars, One Pit

“How high is that ditch, seriously?”

It had swallowed both Rianne’s car and the one sent to tow it.

Rianne’s voice was flat. “The whole thing’s gone under.”

Stella’s lips twitched. “How deep is it?”

“About six feet, I guess? At first, only one wheel slipped in. Then the road was too icy, and when they tried to pull it out… the whole car just went down.”

Stella was silent.

Six feet?

“So now you need to call emergency services, right?”

Rianne looked at the mess in front of her–two cars now stuck. “Yeah, I probably should’ve done that earlier.”

It was clear this wasn’t going to get fixed anytime soon.

“Why don’t you come to Seaflats Cove first?” Stella offered.

“No offense, but how am I supposed to do that? Your car’s in the ditch with mine.”

This whole situation was a disaster.

“I’ll come get you,” Stella said.

“If your driving’s anything less than perfect, don’t bother. The roads are solid ice today,” Rianne warned.

Stella smirked. “You’re underestimating me.”

Her driving skills weren’t average–not after the kind of training Marie had put her through. Everyone thought the training was just physical. It wasn’t. That one month had been all about survival skills.

She glanced out the window at the snow–covered road. I guess I really do have to go myself.

“I’m not underestimating you. I’m worried about you. The roads are dangerous.”

“Just wait for me.” Stella hung up.

Rianne was probably freezing her ass off by the side of the road. No way she could just leave her there.

She turned to the butler. “Get a car ready.”

“Ms. Stella, are you planning to drive? Absolutely not,” he said immediately.

That caught Stella off guard.

“Mr. Abraham won’t allow it,” the butler added. “I’ll send someone to get Dr. Rianne instead.”

“You really think anyone else can handle this road right now?”

“You’re underestimating Mr. Abraham. He’s got some real experts around him. What just happened was an exception.”

Maybe so. But still, she was worried.

What if the butler sent another so–called expert who ended up in the ditch too?

He seemed to catch her hesitation and quickly added, “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure she gets here safely. You don’t need to go.”

He didn’t wait for her reply–just turned and left to make arrangements.

With Abraham gone, there was no way he was letting Stella get behind the wheel in this weather. If anything happened to her, he wouldn’t survive the wrath that followed.

Not long after he left, Stella’s phone rang. It was Abraham.

“Abraham.”

“The weather’s bad today. Don’t go out.”

That butler’s mouth works fast.

It hadn’t even been five minutes.

Stella muttered, “It’s not a big deal. I can handle these roads.”

“I said no.”

“Fine.”

Why’s he being so strict? I made it just fine the past three years without him.

“Be good. I’ll bring you something tasty later.”

His voice softened, like he was coaxing a child.

“You brought me food last night and I didn’t even get to eat it.”

“Yeah?”

“You’re bringing more?” she asked playfully.

Last night, he’d come home smelling like alcohol. She was so busy fussing over him she completely forgot about the chestnut cake.

Abraham said calmly, “Today’s something different.”

“Alright then.”

They chatted a bit longer before ending the call.
