Chapter 231 No Mercy Left
Stella glared at him, cheeks puffed, her eyes still shimmering with a few stubborn tears.
Abraham cupped her small chin and kissed her still slightly feverish lips.
“What should I do with you, Stella, when you’re this silly?” he murmured.
“Hmph!” Stella huffed.
“Who says I’m silly? I lived just fine without you these past three years! Last year I even made seven million.”
Who calls someone who makes millions a year stupid? I’d like a whole stack of idiots like that.
Hearing her say “seven million,” a deep, amused light flashed in Abraham’s eyes.
“Alright, my Stella isn’t silly,” he said softly.
Just adorably foolish.
Stella sniffed. “I can’t walk.”
When she tried to get out of bed earlier, the pain from her injury was excruciating. She could barely move now.
Without a word, Abraham scooped her into his arms.
Stella looked up at his sharp jawline, her heart thudding uncontrollably.
Even now, it still felt like a dream last night felt like an unpossible dream come true.
She had fantasized about this so many times, always believing it could never happen.
Yet somehow, it had.
And judging by Abraham’s attitude, he didn’t seem to reject the change between them at all.
Downstairs
Abel was already waiting.
When he saw Abraham carrying Stella down the stairs, he immediately stood and bowed slightly. “Abraham”
“Back to Verdant Villa,” Abraham instructed.
Seeing Stella curled up in his arms, Abel could pretty much guess what had happened the night before.
After all, he had been ordered to “get lost, and Eddie had been sighing all night while sending people to buy medicine.
After years of restraint, it had finally exploded.
Hearing that Abraham was taking Stella home, Abel hesitated and stepped forward. “Patrick’s outside.”
Abraham was speechless.
Stella was speechless.
The two of them exchanged a glance.
Stella looked at Abel. “He’s standing outside?”
Seriously….he hasn’t frozen to death yet? Stella thought.
Abraham lowered his head to look at her. “Dors Stella want to see him?”
Abel added, “He’s here to see you.”
Abraham’s frown deepened.
The irritation in his eyes was clear.
He said coldly. “Not seeing him.”
Exactly the answer Abel expected.
After everything the Reed family had done to Stella, there was no chance Abraham would show them any mercy.
Especially after what happened with the car accident – Abraham would make sure they suffered.
And right now, they were like fish being fried alive in hot oil.
Without even glancing toward the door, Abraham carried Stella straight outside.
Patrick, realizing he couldn’t get through Abel, had been waiting in the freezing cold.
The snow and wind whipped across his face like knives.
Patrick had no idea how long he would have to wait but he knew he had to see Abraham and Stella today, no matter what.
Just when he was starting to lose feeling in his legs from the cold the front door finally opened.
He saw Abraham carrying Stella outside.
She was bundled up in a creamy white down jacket, her head tucked into a thick hood.
In Abraham’s arms, she looked tiny almost like a little girl
Seeing Stella like that. Patrick didn’t think much of it.
Rubbing his frozen hands, he instinctively tried to move forward.
Only to realize that his legs were so numb he almost collapsed into the snow.
“Mr. Abraham, Stella!” Patrick called out urgently, barely keeping his balance as he staggered toward them – but the bodyguards immediately stopped him.
Patrick’s heart nearly jumped out of his chest.
“Stella, Stella!”
Seeing Abraham’s icy face, Patrick quickly turned his desperate gaze to Stella instead.
But Stella’s face remained buried firmly against Abraham’s chest, ignoring him completely.
“Mr. Abraham, we need to talk! And Stella- you’ve misunderstood your parents! Tell us what you want we’ll do anything!”
Patrick’s voice cracked with desperation.
Danned Susan, he cursed silently. Adhways stirring up trouble!
Especially now, when Stella wouldn’t even give him a glance – Patrick’s hatred toward Susan reached new heights.
2/3
The moment their eyes met, Patrick instinctively swallowed hard.
