The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1934

"We definitely will." Roger cast a sidelong glance at her, his fingers tightening around hers as he beat her to the punch. "We should get going."

With that, Roger pulled a stunned Stella through security and into the departure lounge.

As soon as they sat down, Stella pulled her hand free and deliberately looked away.

Seeing her lack of enthusiasm, Roger didn't push it.

It wasn't until the plane landed in Cabinda that she reacted.

Considering Roger's status and afraid his face would be recognized, Stella not only refused to support him but deliberately kept her distance.

Roger shot her a look, his expression reverting to its usual icy detachment.

At the arrivals gate, Charlotte and Anthony were already waiting.

"Charlotte!"

After not seeing her for two months, Stella had missed her terribly.

The moment she spotted her, she couldn't control her emotions and ran over without a second thought.

Seeing this, Charlotte raised an eyebrow, slipped her hand out of Anthony's, opened her arms, and ordered him blankly, "Step back."

Anthony frowned, but obediently stepped aside.

"Charlotte, it's been so long." Stella threw herself into Charlotte's arms, hugging her very carefully because of the nearly six-month pregnant belly. "I missed you so much."

"Welcome home." Charlotte smiled, gently stroking her hair, her voice soft. "Did you have a good time?"

"Yeah." Stella nodded, her eyes growing damp.

Aside from the days Roger treated her like a fool and she worried he was hallucinating, it had been a very relaxing trip.

"I'm glad you're back." Charlotte smiled warmly, taking Stella's hand and placing it on her belly, though her tone held a hint of complaint. "These two haven't been behaving."
