The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228 A Secret Long Buried

“You sure like prying into other people’s business, Abraham said coldly.

There was a clear chill in his tone.

Eddie shrank back instinctively under his glare, swallowing nervously and then his brain practically exploded.

“Abraham, you’re a damn beast! She’s- she’s the one you raised–she’s been calling you brother‘ for twenty years!”

“Thud

Something smacked Eddie square in the forehead, cutting off whatever he was about to say.

“Hey I’m just saying–Eddie spluttered.

lis I trong to call it out?

“You even hurt her?!” Eddie fumed. I was wondering why you didn’t answer the door no matter how long I kept ringing. Turns out you in that situation- do you even realize how dangerous that was?”

If nothing unexpected had happened, Stella and Ethan had never crossed that line.

After all, Stella’s standards were too high there was no way she would fall for a man whose heart belonged elsewhere.

So during those two years of their engagement, they probably hadn’t even held hands.

But Abraham…

Eddie winced again.

Turns out you were raising her for yourself all along! No wonder you treated her so differently.

“Wherever you went, you brought her along. When Marie stole her away, you nearly tore Marie apart

So this wasn’t a little sister you were raising it was a future wife!

The realization hit Eddie hard.

And it finally explained why, back in Fleule, Stella had been so closely guarded buzz too close.

Those suitors, those marriage proposals all had mysteriously fallen through.

–

not even a single male mosquito could

Because Abraham had long since decided no one else could take his little girl away.

–

Abraham’s cold gaze swept across Eddie. “If you say one more word, I don’t mind giving you some practice with surgical

needles.

Eddie shivered.

Same threat as always.

Over the years, whenever anyone dared say a single extra word about Stella, Abraham’s attitude was exactly the same.

No wonder Abraham had always looked annoyed whenever he or Victor called Stella Tittle sister.”

Turns out even words were too much

From the very beginning, she had been for Abraham alone.

“All these years, she’s treated Stella like a daughter. And Marie too if she finds our you turned her beloved little sister into your wife, she’ll go ballistic. She might even hide Stella away where you’ll never find her again.

This was way

foo

Abraham, you—

insane.

“After all these years, I can’t believe I didn’t notice you were hiding feelings for Stella all along. You’re a damn sly fox.

The more Eddie thought about it, the more worked up he got.

Everyone in Fleule knew Abraham treasured the little girl he picked up.

As a sister—a sister!

“Medicine,” Abraham said flatly, cutting him off.

(One word, ice–cold.

He clearly had no intention of arguing.

Eddie’s face twitched.

He numbly pulled out fever medicine from the medical kit but as for the ointment Abraham wanted, he didn’t have any

He had never expected Stella would be hurt like that.

And honestly, given that Abraham had never been around any women all these years, he hadn’t thought the medicine would ever be needed.

Now, needing it urgently where was he supposed to find it?

Eddie shoved the fever meds and some anti–inflammatory medicine into Abraham’s hands. “I’ll have someone buy the ointment. You’re a damn animal.”
