NovelGoldShe plastered a smile on her face and tried to look unbothered.
Its not like the media made everything up.
We should take this as a test run for the day the divorce becomes official.
Matthews brows furrowed in displeasure.
What do you mean by that? Stella met his gaze steadily.
Exactly what it sounds Like.
This time, anger flashed in Matthews eyes.
Do you really want a divorce? Is it because of Sanford? Stella felt a lump in her throat as waves of sadness washed over her.
She wanted to ease the tension in the car, only to realize that she didnt even have the strength to keep smiling anymore.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen she looked at Matthew again, her expression was one of weary resignation.
From the very beginning, it was you who wanted a divorce.
You brought it up first. Since then, you were going out with Lindsay to various public events, causing the media to speculate about our marriage.
Did you ever stop to consider how I felt during those times? Stella gently removed Matthews hand from her face. Theres no need for you to clean my face.
Im heading home, anyway.
It doesnt matter whether my face is dirty or not; Im just exhausted.
If you really want to driveall the way back, it would be best if you refrain from saying things neither of us wants to hear.
She leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes, leaving silence in her wake.
For a while, Matthew just watched Stella with a complicated expression on his face.
It was a mix of guilt, heartache, and resignation.
Before long, he finally started the car again and drove in the direction of Prosper Bay.
Stella seemed to sense the moment they pulled over in front of the villa.
She immediately opened her eyes, unbuckled her seatbelt, and got out of the car without so much as a goodbye.
She walked straight into the house without a backward glance.
She had just stepped into the foyer when her phone rang.
It was Miley calling.
Stella took a deep breath to calm herself, and then she pressed the answer button.
Mileys voice rang out from the phone, laced with clear anger.
I just returned from a business trip and overheard the models at the company discussing the launch event. Why did Matthew bring Lindsay with him? Even if hes lost his memory, he shouldnt have been so inconsiderate. How could he do this to you? Stella felt completely drained and had no desire to continue the conversation. She responded faintly, Miley, Im really worn out.
I dont want to go into this right now.

Upon hearing this, Miley quickly asked, Where are you? I cover so we can talk in in person.
Stella declined, saying, Theres no need; its already late, and you just got back from your late trip. You should relax.
III manage on my own.
Just then, Stella saw Matthew walk into the room.
Her eyes showed a brief spark of surprise, but she masked it quickly.
Miley continued to give advice over the phone before reluctantly ending the call.
Stella had no desire to engage in a conversation with Matthew.
She got up to go upstairs.
Matthew watched her as she began to leave and said, Cordell is going to conduct stests ontomorrow. Will you cwith me? Stella stopped, caught off guard by his request. However, she was also curious about the state of his amnesia.
After a brief pause, she consented, Alright.
