The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170 The Best Kind of Misunderstanding

Abel scratched his head. “Ms. Stella’s really hungry.”

Hunger makes it impossible to sleep. He knew the feeling well–it sucked.

Stella shot Abel a grateful look. It wasn’t often he spoke up for her.

Abraham didn’t miss that look, of course.

He pulled her into his lap. “Then let’s make something clear–you’re not allowed to go on any crazy diets.”

He still remembered that time Marie had gone on one. The doctor said she’d become seriously deficient in a bunch of essential nutrients. It had left Abraham with a lasting sense of dread.

The thought of Stella ever doing the same thing made his stomach turn.

“I won 1

“Ms. Stella’s not the type to gain weight easily anyway,” Abel said.

That much was true, Stella always had a soft, baby–faced look to her, but she’d never gained or lost much weight. She was just. Stella.

Abraham pinched her cheek. “I’ll have the kitchen make you something”

“Okay.”

Relieved, Stella skipped off to the kitchen to order a steak. She was honestly starving.

She noticed the kitchen staff had changed, but didn’t think much of it.

When she came back out, she overheard Abraham and Abel talking about Judson again.

Abraham gave a cold laugh. “Judson’s really something.”

He wanted to send Lillian to him? What the hell was that supposed to be?

Abel said, “Even I was surprised.”

When they called back and said Ethan wouldn’t be allowed to see Lillian anymore, Abel realized they’d totally misread the

situation.

Abraham sipped from his glass, eyes narrowing.

Abel asked, “What should we do on our end?”

Abraham replied calmly. “They don’t need to send her.”

Abel nodded “Understood.”

Of course not.

There was no world in which aliam would entertain someone like Lillian–sick or not, she wasn’t even close to his type.

“But keeping Ethan from seeing her? That part, I like.”

Abel beutated. “But if we go with that, the Keene family’s definitely going to think there’s something between you and Lillian

Ethan was obsessed with Lillian right now. If they cut him off entirely, it would drive him mad

Abel said. “Got ut. I’ll follow up

Abraham set down his glass.

Abel left, and Abrahamu looked toward the kitchen.

“You gonna just stand there?” he asked.

Stella stepped out slowly.

Seriously You’re playing match–breaker now?”

Telling Ethan he couldn’t see Lillian anymore–might as well have sentenced him to death.

Abraham pulled her onto his lap. “That’s not breaking them up. That’s doing him a favor.”

Stella stared at him. “Are you listening to yourself? That’s not what good people do

The Keene family treats Lillian like she’s contagious. I’m just helping them along”

Well, when you put it like that…

It really was doing them a favor–just not for Ethan.

The rest of the Keene family would probably thank him. Ethan, though, would be suffering

Stella thought about it again. “Okay, fine. You’re doing a good deed,”

Except the Reed family and Ethan were about to have a real bad time.
