Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 2070

Stella sat in silence the entire time, her eyes calmly fixed on the objects scattered on the coffee table.

Boris let out a sigh. If Morgan was the storm, Stella was the eerie calm that sometimes followed.

"Elle, head up to bed now."

Only then did Stella lift her gaze, offering him a gentle smile, "Okay, Dad. Don't stay up too late, alright?"

Through his years, Boris had never heard his son utter such words.

Nor had he ever truly embraced the role of a father, but in that moment, something stirred in his heart, his lips pressed tightly before he sighed.

"If you ever run short, just let me know."

"I'm fine, Dad. The twenty thousand you gave me last time? I haven't even touched it."

Boris said nothing more, retreating upstairs to change before heading out to meet one of his lovers.

Stella remained alone in the living room, the vastness of the space amplifying her loneliness, making her feel as if she was the only person left in the world.

But this was nothing new; solitude had always been her constant companion.

Just as she was about to head upstairs, the phone rang - a special ringtone that instantly spread fear through her. Her face paled as she quickly answered.

A man's hoarse voice came through, "I'm sending someone for you tonight."

This man was the head of the JG organization, a figure Stella had unwisely entangled herself with to escape a dire situation with Alan, another dangerous man. She had no choice but to seek protection from someone even more powerful.

Stella's silence was broken by the man lighting a cigarette, "What, Stella, you dare to refuse me now?"
