The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Should They Even Have Feelings for Each Other Now?

Finished

As soon as Rianne was mentioned, Tessa suddenly remembered something. “Last time I called her, she said the hospital got approval for a new weight loss drug. Come with me tomorrow to check it out?”

Stella took a sip of her Coke.

She glanced Tessa up and down. “Why are you even looking into that?”

Tessa wasn’t fat at all.

“My cousin is almost 440 pounds, and he’s so desperate to lose weight it’s making him depressed.

Stella nodded. “Alright, then.”

Personally, she thought life was too short to obsess over appearances–especially weight loss.

Dieting meant giving up so much joy in life. You couldn’t eat what you wanted, couldn’t wear what you liked, and worse, you ended up hating your own reflection.

After parting ways with Tessa, Stella returned home.

Seeing the pile of shopping bags on the couch, still unpacked, her chest tightened slightly.

She walked over and sat beside them.

Reaching into one of the bags, she pulled out a receipt. Her gaze lingered on the payment account listed.

Her phone buzzed.

Glancing at the screen, she saw it was Patrick’s secretary calling.

There was no need to guess why the Reed family was trying to contact her.

She rejected the call without hesitation.

Immediately after, Patrick himself called.

Stella didn’t even bother. She let it ring and then hung up.

At the Reed family home, Patrick’s expression darkened when Stella ignored every call. He turned to Susan.

“I told you to keep Lillian away from her. Why did they run into each other again?”

Susan’s face was stiff. This time, it really wasn’t Lillian’s fault, she just…. Ugh!

Trying to explain the situation between Stella and Lillian was exhausting.

Patrick glanced at his phone, where the trending news was still displayed. The photos of Ethan and Lillian at the hospital were everywhere.

“Her fiancé taking her sister‘ to the hospital? Are you out of your mind, or is she?”

Susan opened her mouth but had nothing to say.

Patrick’s anger only grew. “I had already arranged specialists for her. Why the hell did you let her run around with Ethan?”

Susan tried to defend herself. “But Lillian’s been so sick–I just wanted her to feel a little better. You know how she and Ethan grew up together. They’ve been friends since middle school, they have history.”

“History? Susan, you’re seriously talking to me about their history? Should they even have feelings for each other now!”

Patrick’s tone was sharp, his face stern.

Susan fell silent.

Technically, he was right. But in reality, things were never that simple.

Patrick turned to his secretary. “Get the car ready.”

“It’s already late. Where are you going?”

Susan glanced at the time, puzzled.

“Kingston Heights.”

He was going to see Stella?

Susan immediately said, “I’ll go too.”

“No. You’ll just end up arguing with her.”

Patrick had always been dissatisfied with how Susan handled her relationship with Stella.
