Chapter 227

Chapter 227:

Stella was about to lift her right foot when suddenly, she let out a soft cry. “Ah!”

She didn’t know if it was because she had fallen off the horse, but her right ankle was sprained. It hurt so much!

“What’s wrong, Stella?”

Seeing this, Kelly quickly moved forward to help her walk and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Is your foot injured?”

Kelly looked down and said, “Let me help you walk! Let’s go back to the room first!”

“Okay,” Stella replied.

Before she could finish her words, the two of them were about to walk forward together when Stella felt someone else’s hand on her arm.

RK placed one hand on Stella’s shoulder and the other on her arm. Additionally, the black horse, whose reins he had been holding, miraculously walked back to the stable on its own. Wasn’t it too well-trained?

She wondered why she had allowed herself to touch that horse earlier. It seemed amazing that it could recognize its owner!

When Stella was held in his arms, she felt an indescribable sensation—something strange. She shrugged her shoulders, trying to push away the hand on her shoulder.

However, the man didn’t intend to remove his hand. Instead, he tightened his grip. He had no intention of letting go!

Stella said awkwardly, “I’m fine. Kelly can help me walk...”

This man... Didn’t he tell her before that she wasn’t allowed to announce their relationship in public? Wasn’t he the one who wanted to keep a distance from her?

Why had he changed now? Instead, he was doing this in front of everyone!

Kelly, who had seen through their relationship, wanted to step back. However, Stella was holding her hand, and Kelly could see the uneasiness and resistance in her friend’s eyes.

She then spoke, “Mr. Kingston, let me help her—”

“She is my woman. You don’t have to touch her.”

As soon as RK finished speaking, he picked Stella up in his arms. There was no asking for permission from anyone!

Damn it! What was this man trying to do?

What was he talking about in front of Kelly?

Just this morning, when Kelly came over, Stella had been trying to clarify her relationship with RK, repeatedly saying that she had nothing to do with the president. But now, things were like this...

He had made it very clear!

Stella was beyond embarrassed.

Looking back, Kelly didn’t know what to say!

Kelly secretly smiled behind her, and in her eyes, it was as if she were saying, “You lied to me again!”

Stella buried her head in RK’s arms awkwardly, trying to avoid Kelly’s gaze, so as not to be teased by her friend.

On the way back, RK didn’t say a word. Stella didn’t know if he was still angry with her or if he was just being his usual quiet self.

Originally, this man didn’t talk much, but now, in front of her friend, he was even quieter.

Moreover, with Kelly present, the age gap between them became even more evident, highlighting the generation gap between Stella and RK.

RK carried her back to her room, and a subtle feeling grew in Stella’s heart.

Whenever Kelly came to the RK mansion, Stella had never allowed her to enter her room.

That was because... it was obvious that the room belonged to two people.

In their shared room, there were not only Stella’s belongings but also men’s clothes, slippers, and other male items.

If Kelly came in, she would immediately see that RK and Stella had been living together for a long time.

This time, Stella thought RK would stop Kelly from entering the room.

However, to her surprise, he didn’t! She didn’t understand why RK was acting so strangely that day. Kelly followed him into the room, and he didn’t respond at all!

How could he allow someone to enter like that? Wasn’t he afraid of people gossiping about him?

Didn’t he usually value his privacy above all else?

In the outside world, RK had always been known as a bachelor.

However, that day, he didn’t seem to care at all. He let Kelly in without a second thought.

“Stella, are you okay? Does your foot still hurt?”

In the room, RK asked a servant to call the doctor, so for the moment, only Stella and Kelly remained. The man was not in the room, so the atmosphere was much more relaxed than before.

Stella shook her head. “I’m fine. I just accidentally sprained my ankle. It hurts a little, but I should be fine soon.”

Kelly looked at Stella’s right ankle, which was slightly red and swollen. It was clear she had sprained it.

Then Kelly added, “I have to say, Stella, Mr. Kingston really cares about you.”
