Chapter 176

Chapter 176:

She tried her best to keep her distance from him, but he moved closer and closer. Stella almost wanted to dig a hole to hide herself. The man firmly locked her in his arms. The more she twisted and struggled, the wider his smile became.

“Woman, if you keep moving like this, there will be a problem.”

Stella looked at his handsome face up close and was so scared that she dared not move her fingers. She wasn’t stupid, so there was no way she couldn’t understand what he meant. What’s more, she was so close to his body that it was obvious how she felt.

“I’ll give you another chance. Will you marry me, Stella?”

With such a clear sentence hanging in the air, Stella felt as if her brain had been struck by lightning. That wasn’t right; it wasn’t raining now, nor was there a clap of thunder. How could she have been struck by lightning?

Did she lose her mind after getting soaked in the rain? How could she have heard him say something like that? Was she stupid, or was he crazy?

She was stunned for a long time and didn’t say anything. It wasn’t until the man repeated his question that Stella realized she hadn’t misheard him. Just as she was about to seriously think about this problem, a tiny version of herself popped into her mind and punched her.

The tiny Stella glared at her and warned, “Stella, aren’t you stupid? Think about what he just said. He is probably just teasing you. If you seriously consider this, you are truly foolish!”

Stella didn’t move at all, as if she had been woken up by a punch. She sneered and said, “NO, I won’t! Even if you give me a thousand chances, I won’t marry you! RK, we are divorced. We have been apart for several years, and I don’t love you at all, so there is no way I would marry you!”

At the end of her words, she was extremely nervous. She was afraid that this man, with his strong self-esteem, would suddenly lose his temper. What if he hit her? She didn’t have Tristan’s protection at this moment.

“I’m teasing you, Stella. You are very interesting. You’re taking this too seriously. You don’t have to say that. I’m going to marry Sophia soon, so you had better be ready for me to be your brother-in-law.” He let go of her and looked at her with frivolous eyes.

He didn’t look serious at all.

Stella breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and rejoiced. Thank goodness she didn’t say yes just now. Otherwise, this guy would certainly laugh at her, and he might even make fun of her for the rest of his life. Oh, the thought of it was terrifying. There was no one more cunning than this man.

“I am sleepy. Please don’t pester me, Mr. Kingston. It’s time for your employees to get off work.” She was lying. She was very sleepy. She reached her hand and yawned. At the thought of him being her brother-in-law, Stella felt quite upset.

What was going on? She married him on behalf of her sister. Later, after her sister died, he asked her to divorce him. Now that he had found their child, Adrian, he wanted to fight for custody and marry her sister. If he got custody of her child, would Adrian call her sister’s husband “father” in the future?

Things were so complicated. What on earth was happening? Stella didn’t know why, but after hearing her words, RK left without saying a word. He didn’t even say anything cruel. It was so strange that Stella felt something was wrong!

Had he become dumb from getting soaked in the rain? Did he come to her house in the middle of the night just to talk about these things and mess with her? How could a CEO like him have so much time on his hands?

Unexpectedly, after stepping into the house in high heels, Emily wasn’t asleep. She was sitting on the sofa with a pillow in her arms, frowning. If the lights hadn’t been on the moment she opened the door, she would have been scared to death.

“Emily, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you sleeping at this hour?”

“Stella, there seems to be something wrong with Adrian!”

She frowned. Stella put down her bag after changing shoes and sat down beside her. She looked at her pale face and said fearfully, “What’s wrong with him? Tristan told me just now that he is fine about Alia!”

“I don’t know; I can’t explain it either. I just have a feeling that something is wrong with him. Maybe I’m thinking too much and being too sensitive.”

Seeing Emily’s anxious expression as she worried about the little boy, Stella patted her on the shoulder and said, “Go to sleep. I will pay more attention to him.”

She knew better than anyone else what kind of psychological trauma a child would suffer after undergoing something; she was a very typical example. In the past, when she lived in the Richard family, she was like a dependent.

Although she was also David’s daughter, that didn’t mean anything. Her father didn’t protect her, and Sophia and her stepmother bullied her.

Her status in the family was like that of a maid. That was why she refused to hand over custody to RK. He was about to marry Sophia, and with a hot-tempered princess like Alia, Adrian would never be happy living with them.

No matter how good the living conditions were, they were not as important as the true love that a family should have.

“Alright, then you should go to bed soon.”

Emily looked at her for a long time before she said these words and went back to her room.
