The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Caught in His Net

Stella sniffled. “It hasn’t been three years yet

She looked like a little kid who had been bullied outside her face full of grievance.

Abraham let out a mocking laugh. Two months away–what’s the difference?”

Finished

That was how long it had been since Stella returned to Rivermount–just two months short of three years. She wanted to lower her head, but Abraham wouldn’t let her.

His grip tightened, forcing her to meet his gaze. “Nothing you want to tell me?

“Yes, plenty so much.”

There was so much she wanted to say. Every time those people bullied her, she had wanted to call him to come and deal with

them

Stella had intended to send Abraham to a five–star hotel. But he had kept her pinned on his lap, never giving her the chance to tell Abel where he should be staying.

By the time Abraham finally released her, the car had already pulled into the underground garage of Kingston Heights.

Stella was stunned. “You know I live here?”

She had used his card yesterday, and today he had tracked her down. Judging by his demeanor, he must have already investigated every detail of her life over the past three years.

Abraham stepped out of the car first. From the driver’s seat, Abel spoke up. It’s never difficult for Mr. Abraham to find out things. But, Ms. Dawson, you really hid yourself well these past three years. We never expected you to leave the country.”

Stella fell silent

Abel sighed. “And you even found your relatives… Sigh, anyway. Mr. Abraham is furious!”

That last part made Stella’s heart skip a beat.

She carefully glanced at the man standing outside the car. Not daring to delay, she quickly got out.

Back home, Stella immediately went to get him a pair of slippers. But the moment she opened the shoe cabinet, she froze.

Aside from her own slippers, there was another pair–worn, men’s slippers.

She felt the chill behind her and quickly pulled out a pair of her own unworn slippers for Abraham. “Why don’t you… wear mine for now?

A pair of pink slippers with bunny ears was placed in front of him.

Abraham’s eyes narrowed, the coldness around him intensifying.

“So, you’ve learned how to serve people now?”

Stella fell silent. Her expression stiffened at his words, and the bitterness in her heart became even harder to suppress. She quickly straightened her posture, looking at Abraham with teary grievance. “You know everything already?”

Abraham let out a low chuckle and slipped on her slippers. They were too small and didn’t fit.

A man as particular as he was didn’t say much. Instead, he walked further inside, glancing around. The more he looked, the darker his expression became.

She pouted. This isn’t from the Reed family.”

Abraham’s gaze sharpened as he turned to her.

Stella hesitated for a second before saying, “I bought it… with your money.”

Abraham was momentarily speechless. Hearing her words, for some reason, the coldness on his face eased slightly.

Finished

He walked over to the sofa, casually shrugging off his coat and draping it over the armrest. He also removed the scarf from around his neck.

“And you didn’t think to buy something bigger?”

Stella argued, “It’s not small, it was 1,500 square feet. That’s more than enough for me.”

Abraham still found it small. Back in Falvaria, even her private villa was no less than 5,300 square feet.

Not to mention, during her years at the Dawson residence, the estate was so massive that it would take her over an hour just to walk through it.

“Come here.”

Abraham’s commanding gaze landed on her.
