Chapter 6

Stella 's blood froze and she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.

She wanted to refuse and resist, but it was no use.

It wasn't until the very end that Mason seemed to calm down.

Outside, it was getting light.

Mason looked at the skinny Stella , then at the glaring red on the bed sheet, and he felt indescribable.

??Bang!??

Stella raised her hand and slapped him hard on the handsome face.

This slap also shattered all her fantasies about love.

Her eardrums were clapping, and she couldn't hear what Mason was saying, so she interrupted him, "Get lost!"

Mason didn't know how he left.

All the scenes from last night are in my mind.

After getting in the car, he called his special assistant Lucas and asked , "Check which men Stella knows."

Lucas was a little confused.

Stella got married, all she talked about every day was CEO Wright . How could she know any other man?

??

In the hotel.

Mason left.

Stella washed herself over and over again.

It was only when they were about to divorce that they became husband and wife. It was so ridiculous and sad to say the least.

In the morning, at 9 o'clock, Matthew brought breakfast over and did not notice anything unusual about Stella .

"I forgot to tell you last night that I have a separate house that is vacant. You can go and live there."

"It's not safe for a girl to stay in a hotel."

Stella shook her head and refused.

Favors are the hardest to repay, and she doesn't want to owe anyone anything.

Matthew knew she would refuse, "It's empty anyway, you can move in, I'm not going to charge you rent."

"But I can only stay for a month at most."

"One month is just one month. It's better than leaving it alone."

Matthew didn't know why she said she could only stay for a month, thinking that there was still a lot of time left in the future.

He drove Stella there.

The woman only had a simple suitcase and no other luggage.

After getting in the car.

Matthew talked to Stella about their childhood, and then took the initiative to tell her what he had done over the years.

I went abroad after high school, and worked and studied abroad as an adult. At the age of 20, I started my own company and now I am considered a wealthy boss.

Stella listened to his rich resume and thought about herself.

After graduation, she married Mason and became a housewife.

Matthew with admiration , "You are amazing."

"You can, too. After you left the village, I followed you. I saw you on TV and won first place in a youth piano competition... and you sang, right? You were my idol at that time..."

Matthew didn't tell Stella .

When he was studying abroad alone, his life was not good at the beginning. He learned a lot of bad things and gave up on himself.

Until he saw the news about Stella in the newspapers in China , these reports were like a light, supporting Matthew to slowly get up.

Listening to Matthew counting his glorious moments, Stella almost forgot herself.

Wait for Matthew to take her to her residence.

Before leaving, Stella smiled and said to him, "Thank you, I almost forgot my old self."

After settling down here.

Stella looked at the days and realized that there were only a dozen days left until May 15th when she would file for divorce again.

Thinking about what I promised Iris .

She went to buy the urn one morning.

Then, I went to a photo studio and took a black and white photo under the strange looks of the staff.

After finishing all this, on the way back.

She stared out the car window in a daze.

At this time, a phone call came.

It's Eloise .

" Stella , who told you to secretly give me money? I have no use for that money, so I'm saving it for you. If you want to do some business in the future..."

Over the years, Stella often secretly gave her money.

As a country girl, she had no use for money and saved every penny she had.

Listening to Eloise's concerned nagging on the other end of the phone, tears unconsciously covered Stella's face.

" Eloise , can you pick me up and take me home like you did when we were little?"

Eloise wondered.

Stella added, "On the 15th, I want you to take me back to our home."

Eloise didn't know why she had to wait until the 15th.

"Okay, on the 15th, Eloise will come to take you home."

Recently, the hospital sent Stella another text message asking her to go for a follow-up check-up, but she politely declined.

Since she had already decided to leave, she didn't want to waste any more money on treatment.

Stella looked at her account and found that she still had more than 100,000 dollar left. After she passed away, she could give this money to Eloise for her retirement.

State A these days .

Matthew often visits her.

She was often seen sitting alone on the balcony, lost in thought.

He also found that Stella 's hearing loss had worsened. Many times, she didn't hear him when he knocked on the door.

On the other side, the Wright Family Group.

After finishing work, Mason checked his phone as usual, but when he didn't see any message from Stella , his eyes darkened.

Assistant Lucas knocked on the door and came in.

" CEO Wright , we found out that the man is called Matthew , and he seems to be Stella 's childhood sweetheart."

Whether in Mason 's cognition or in previous media reports.

Stella 's childhood sweetheart has always been Mason .

The assistant told him that Matthew was someone Stella met when she was raised in the countryside.

So, Stella knew him earlier than she knew herself.

Mason recalled the man with the evil-looking peach blossom eyes and frowned.

" CEO Wright , Mr. Brown is waiting for you outside."

Mason ordered, "Tell him I have something to do today."

The assistant was surprised.

These days, CEO Wright has been having fun with Jose and other rich kids after work . Why did he change today?

Mason took the president's special elevator to the underground garage, and then drove straight to the hotel where Stella was staying.

But when we arrived, we found out that Stella had moved out a few days ago.

Mason suddenly felt annoyed. He took out his cell phone and opened the address book over and over again.

I made up my mind to call Stella , a call came in. It was Sophie .

"What's up?"

" Mason , I heard from Iris that Stella is getting married."

Mason's blue eyes tightened.

After the interview, Sophie went to find Iris .

I just found out that Iris and Stella 's younger brother was planning to marry Stella to an old man in exchange for 300 million.

Seeing that Mason didn't reply for a long time, Sophie added fuel to the fire,

"I heard from Iris that Stella asked for 300 million dollar as a dowry. I never thought she would be such a person..."

"He also said that since your cooling-off period has not passed, it is not convenient for you to get married, so hold the wedding first."

??

Stella didn't know that her mother and brother were still preparing for her wedding and didn't take what she said seriously.

Until this day, Stella received a text message from Iris , " CEO Thompson has already picked the date, and it happens to be the 15th of this month."

"There are still four days left. You should prepare to get married. You must win the man's heart this time. Do you understand?"

Stella looked at the two text messages and felt indescribable.

fifteen??

It's a day of reunion and celebration??

It was also the day she and Mason agreed to divorce...

Or the day when she was forced to get married...

It was the day she decided to leave...

Stella was afraid that she would forget again, so she wrote these things down in a notebook.

After recording.

She began to write her suicide note.

She picked up the pen, but didn't know what to write. In the end, she left a message for Eloise and another for Matthew .

After writing, she placed the suicide note under her pillow.

Three days later.

On the 14th, it rained particularly heavily.

The cell phone was on the coffee table, ringing continuously.

They were all Iris calling, asking where she was?

She is getting married tomorrow, so let her go home and prepare to marry into the Thompson Family .

Stella didn't reply. She changed into a new crabapple-colored long dress today and put on some delicate makeup.

She had a good physical condition, but she was too thin and too pale.

Stella looked in the mirror and saw her delicate and bright self, as if she had returned to the time before she married Mason .

Take a taxi to the cemetery.

She got out of the car holding an umbrella, walked slowly to her father's tombstone, and put down a bunch of white daisies.

"dad."

The cold wind was howling and the only sound I could hear was the tinkling of raindrops hitting the umbrella.

"I'm sorry... I didn't want to come here, but I really have nowhere to go."

"I admit that I am timid and afraid of walking alone, so I chose to come to you..."

"If you want to scold me, go ahead."

Stella said softly, then sat down next to the tombstone and hugged herself.

She turned on her cell phone and heard vicious messages from Iris .

" Stella ! Do you think you can get away by hiding?"

"Your brother has already taken the money. CEO Thompson has connections everywhere. How can he let you go?"

"Think it over carefully. It's better to get married properly tomorrow than to be found and tied up and married."

"Know the current situation..."

I read the text messages silently.

Stella typed back, "I don't want to go back. Tomorrow, please come to the western suburbs to pick me up. I will wait for you in front of my father's tombstone."

Iris received Stella 's reply but didn't think much about it. She thought she had accepted her fate and finally stopped calling.

Stella enjoyed a moment of peace.

She sat here all day long.

After nightfall, she took out the little puppet that her father had carved for her when she was a child, held it carefully in her arms, and used her body to block the dark night and heavy rain.

Time passed minute by minute, and the clock struck 12 in the distance.

It's the 15th.

Stella looked up at the endless dark sky, her throat filled with bitterness.

At 3 o'clock in the morning.

With shaking hands, she took out the medicine from her bag...
