The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 860

Stella’s expression relaxed. “Alright.”

She turned her head, her gaze landing on Joshua, who stood quietly nearby.

They’d arrived together, after all—it would feel rude not to invite him along. But then again, it was Neville’s birthday, and showing up with Joshua in tow felt awkward. The two barely knew each other.

Stella hesitated, uncertain, when Neville’s deep, magnetic voice cut through the moment.

“Joshua, I’m taking Star out for dinner. I’ll see her home myself tonight.”

He didn’t bother to hide the hint of finality in his words.

Joshua’s tone was neutral, betraying nothing. “In that case, happy birthday, Mr. Connolly.”

Neville twirled the keychain in his hand with a careless air. “Thanks. I have to say, getting a gift from Star herself on my birthday really does make it a good one.”

Joshua’s eyes flicked to the keychain dangling between Neville’s fingers, and his own hand tightened at his side.

“Then I won’t intrude on your celebration any longer,” he said.

Neville gave a lopsided smile. “Come on, Star. Let’s go.”

Stella nodded goodbye to Joshua and left with Neville.

Joshua stayed where he was, watching the two of them walk away. He didn’t move for a long time, his expression as calm and unreadable as ever. Yet Simone, for reasons she couldn’t quite explain, had the impression his mood was far from light.

She stepped up beside him. “Joshua, I haven’t properly thanked you for today—”

Her words were cut short by his crisp, clear voice.

“You once saved me. Helping you was the least I could do.”
