Chapter 9

Chapter 9:.

Stella heard his voice and looked up.

The word “no” caught in her throat as she met his deep blue eyes. The man continued to stare at her, and on his face was written, “It will not be accepted.”

Without waiting for her response, he walked over and settled into the black car parked beside the road. Her actions clearly indicated to him, “Follow me.”

Not only did he invite her to follow him, but he left two tall bodyguards stationed next to the car, watching her. Stella was speechless. She wondered, “If I refuse, will they catch me and put me in the car?”

But anyway…

Inside the car…

When Stella got into the car, she gave her address to the driver and kept quiet. RK wasn’t someone who liked to talk either, so the atmosphere inside the car was very quiet.

RK was sitting in the middle of the back seat, but Stella did her best to stay as far away from him as possible.

She sat near the door and maintained her posture as if she was looking out the window. Even without speaking, sitting next to this man was always torture for her.

She didn’t speak at all but still felt as if someone was pressing a knife against her neck all the time. RK’s gaze was too strong….

As Stella felt suffocated, her phone rang.

“Ding, dong…”

Stella looked at the phone and saw that it was her best friend Emily. She answered and said, “Hello.”

“Honey… When will you be back? The baby misses you…”

But the voice coming from the other end of the phone wasn’t Emily’s; it was baby Adrian’s voice. Her heart skipped a beat at the sound of her son’s voice.

She didn’t want RK to know about Adrian, so she quickly covered the phone with her hand.

Then she glanced at the man next to her and noticed that his expression was still cold and indifferent. He had heard nothing. Stella let out a sigh of relief.

“How could he suspect that I had a child? For him, I had already aborted the child then? He doesn’t know that I gave birth in secret.”

Meanwhile, Adrian was still waiting for her response. As he was about to speak again, Stella said, “I’m on my way and will be home soon. Wait a bit.”

He kept his voice low and avoided uttering the word

“Mommy.” Although he didn’t know it, she still thought it best to avoid him as much as possible.

But the person on the other end didn’t seem to have any intention of hanging up. He said cheerfully, “Then it’s okay. I’ll talk to Mommy on the phone so you won’t get bored on the way.”

Emily’s voice, full of mock irritation, was as follows. “You little rascal! Are you using my phone to talk to your mommy? How can you be so naughty? Trying to save money for her, are you?”

“You only think of your mother; then what about me, your beautiful aunt?”

“Auntie, you just said you are my aunt but not my mother. Don’t you know that blood is thicker than water? Of course, I will be on your side.”

Adrian looked at Emily and told her matter-of-factly as he shook his head. But when Stella heard his voice, she felt like they both wanted him to disappear.

The whole car was filled with their voices. If they kept this up, no matter how much she cried, it wouldn’t be long before she was on display in front of him.

Stella scolded Adrian several times in her heart, but when she spoke, her tone was still calm. “You don’t need to do this. I’ll be back soon.

Eat, take a bath and go to sleep. There are too many people in the car anyway. I can’t talk.”

When Stella finished talking, she hung up the phone and looked at RK’s reflection in the window. The man was looking at her out of the corner of his eye….

Although there was darkness in the car, she still saw his cold blue eyes staring sharply at her. Silence resumed, but RK suddenly changed his attitude.

His cold voice reached her ears. “Do you think the car is full?”

He echoed her earlier words, clearly looking for trouble.

Stella bit her lip and replied, a little embarrassed, “No, it’s not like that…”.

In her mind, she thought, This man is so…. It was inconvenient to talk to her baby in front of him because she didn’t want him to know about Adrian.

“You’ve been out of the country for six years – how does it feel?”

The man’s voice was low and calm. It was as if he were having an ordinary conversation with her, but his words were full of mockery.

“I am happy… very happy.” While she was with her baby, her life was full of joy, and every moment was precious. Adrian was everything in her life.

“Hmm…”

RK’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, and her response was evasive, as if she was just casually asking. If she didn’t respond, he didn’t much care.

“I hear you’re marrying my sister. Congratulations.”

Stella said in a cold tone. After her divorce six years ago, it was not impossible for her to limit herself to maintaining the relationship of boss and subordinate for the time being.

She had long since given up on him, and she no longer cared about the past; she wasn’t going to stay anchored in her past. But this time, she got no response from him.

Not a single word…

Stella turned her head and looked in the man’s direction. She saw his deep, cold blue eyes staring at her. His gaze was very sharp, like a knife falling on her.

After a minute, she said, “Do you want me to get married?” His voice was cold. His blue eyes were so deep that it was hard for anyone to tell what he was thinking.

Stella pursed her lips. She didn’t think she had said anything wrong. After all, it had been six years since he had divorced her to marry her sister Sophia, hadn’t he?

“It’s not a question of whether I want them to get married,” Stella replied.

“It’s just that I don’t think there’s anyone else in X-City who’s more eager than Mr. RK to marry her.” His lips curved into a smirk.

Why was he pretending like that? If not, why was he in such a hurry to marry Sofia and divorce her?

Stella’s lips curved into a sneer. She felt like someone had poured a cup of bitter coffee into her heart. It was just that there was only bitterness, not sweetness.
