Stella's mood was excellent after seeing Marvin, whom she hadn't seen in a long time. Even her voice was softer than usual.
"The restaurant was incredibly busy tonight, and the service was slow," she explained. "That's why I'm a little late."
Seeing the gentle smile playing at the corners of her eyes, Joshua felt an inexplicable surge of annoyance. He said nothing more, lapsing into silence.
Stella quickly sensed that his mood had soured again.
Assuming it was because her lateness had kept him from his meal, she said promptly, "Sorry I'm late. I'll make sure to be back earlier tomorrow."
Joshua's brow twitched. "Tomorrow? You're going out with Neville again?"
Stella nodded. "Yes. His grandmother is in Solmaris now, and I'm going to pay her a visit."
"I'll go with you," Joshua stated.
"No, you don't have to," Stella refused. "Your wound hasn't fully healed. You should stay here and rest."
Joshua frowned. "I can't let you go alone. What if you run into danger…"
"Joshua, don't worry about me," Stella cut him off. "Neville is picking me up directly tomorrow. I'll be perfectly safe."
Joshua fell silent.

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....

Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
