Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 150 The Sea Itself Parts Our Love

Stella said it was fine and asked Lisa not to tell Miles about her falling down the stairs last time. Lisa didn’t understand why, but since Stella had asked her to keep things confidential, she definitely would not betray her. As they hadn’t finished talking, they walked while continuing to chat and eventually came to an arch at the entrance of the garden.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Stella collided with someone next to her by accident, and her jade bracelet hit that person’s watch and fell to the ground with a clang. Looking at the bracelet on the ground, Stella then raised her head to stare at the culprit, only to see Miles’ gaze fixed on her jade bracelet.

Seeing Stella’s bracelet shattered into pieces, he looked up again to look at her. At first, Stella was a little angry and sad, as this was after all the last thing her mother gave her. But when she saw Miles, the thought of arguing about it disappeared because it was Lisa’s wedding after all. Besides, he was the person she made up her mind to stay away from.

“I will compensate for it!” Miles looked at the bracelet that had broken into three pieces on the ground.

“No need.” It seemed that no matter what Stella did, she could not make a clean break with him. Stella did not bump into him on purpose, and Miles was surrounded by a group of people, so it was obvious that he also did not mean to break her bracelet.

“I—will—compensate!” Miles reiterated with a determined tone. Stella did not continue to dwell on this issue and left with Audrey, leaving behind Miles and a group of male guests. Then, the man picked up the broken bracelet that had broken into three pieces.

After Miles returned to the company, he ordered his secretary to check the relationship between Stella and Audrey because it seemed that the two women really had a good relationship and did not seem like enemies. Soon, the secretary replied that Stella and Audrey indeed had a good relationship. It wasn’t clear how they met, but she heard that one night Audrey went to the factory to accompany Stella for the night, and they appeared to be best friends. Besides, Audrey had always been very supportive of Stella and Matthew being together.

Lighting a cigarette, Miles realized that Audrey sent him the nude photo in order to break Stella and himself up so that Matthew could be with Stella. Therefore, Stella should be in the loop about this matter. Upon putting the pieces together, Miles couldn’t help but snort.

The next time Miles took the initiative to ask Stella out was at Stella’s store in Murdough. This time she came to cancel the rent for the house in Murdough and also check on the store. It so happened that Miles was also at the Murdough branch.

Previously, Stella had the idea of making foreign trade because Miles might keep on bugging her when she was present in her own factory. She never had a place to hide from the man, which was why she wished to fly to different places and travel around the globe. Perhaps once she had seen much of the world, that person would gradually fade away from her mind. So, this time she came to Murdough to discuss with Audrey the address of the foreign trade company in Murdough, while the other location would be in San Jover City.

Miles sent her a WhatsApp, saying that he was in Wilson Bay and had something to talk to her about. However, Stella’s first reaction was to refuse.

Today, Murdough was very gloomy; there was no sun, but the sky was very blue. Under the blue sky, he stood there smoking in a gray shirt with his back turned. He had not yet seen Stella, and all the things in the background behind him were hidden with him only left in the world. For some reason, Stella felt that this back looked

Therefore, she explained, “I’m afraid that you won’t break up with me. So, I let Audrey make the killer move. The relationship between Matthew and I is the slow kind that prioritizes an emotional connection, unlike you and me.
