Chapter 248 A Brewing Storm
Ever since he had left those marks on her body, hiding her feelings had become even more precarious.
And yet, he had known everything all along and had kept teasing her.
Thinking about it. Stella wanted to bite him again.
But when her eyes landed on the wound at Abraham’s neck, she decided to let it go.
After breakfast-
Abraham went straight to the study. Eddie finished eating in the kitchen and came out, glancing over at Stella.
Stella quickly turned around, pretending not to see him..
“Running away again, huh?”
Eddie crossed his arms over his chest, clearly displeased.
Stella knew why Abraham had kicked Eddie out earlier – he had noticed her discomfort.
Now, seeing Eddie purposely cornering her. Stella turned back around and meekly called, “Eddie.”
Eddie walked over and gave a sharp snort. “Feeling better?”
Stella froze.
She knew exactly what he was asking about and so did he. But how was she supposed to answer something like that?
Her face instantly turned bright red, and she didn’t dare lift her head.
Seeing her silent. Eddie gave a little laugh. “I asked you a question.
… I’m feeling better, Stella mumbled.
Why is he even asking about this?
Is this really something he should be concerned about?
Eddie said, ‘Girls have to take better care of themselves. Abraham’s always spoiled you, but when it comes to this kind of thing, men often aren’t exactly human,”
Stella said nothing, her face burning hotter.
Eddie kept lecturing her.
“He doesn’t know how to control himself, but you should know how to protect yourself. You can’t treat that kind of injury like it’s nothing”
“Please stop talking,” Stella finally blurted out, unable to hold it in anymore.
She was too embarrassed to even look at him.
You- Eddie started,
Ungrateful brat. I’m just trying to help here..
“I know I don’t appreciate your kindness, Stella cut him off. “So I’m begging you, just stop.”
Eddie’s mouth twitched. “You little-”
She ran so
fast that if this were a school event, she would have won the track meet easily.
Eddie stood there, dumbfounded.
Did she really just say Troll That little brat… definitely no good intentions there
“Running that fast… Abraham’s years of worrying about her were a total waste. At this speed, even if enemies came after her. no one would catch her.”
In the blink of an eye, she was gone.
Looks like the medicine I had someone buy for her worked pretty well, Eddie thought, watching the empty hallway.
Scratching the back of his head, he turned–only to meet a pair of icy, sinister eyes.
Abraham stood at the top of the stairs.
Eddie froze at the sight of him. His heart skipped a beat. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Do you think she needs your concern?” Abraham’s voice was cold and filled with displeasure.
Eddie said nothing
“Sorry, I overstepped.”
Come on. max… Brother and husband are two completely different roles
Just then. Abel came over from the other side. “Sir.”
“Speak. Abraham said.
“Miss Evie has secretly arrived at Rivermount,”
Eddie stiffened.
Abraham’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
“She’s accompanied by people from Miss Marie’s side, Abel added.
People from Marie’s side
Eddie’s mouth twitched. “What does that mean?”
Abel glanced at Eddie, then looked back at Abraham. “It’s likely Miss Marie sent her to try to take Miss Stella away.”
Eddie’s heart jumped violently.
No way. She wouldn’t dare, would she?Stella isn’t just Abraham’s little sister anymore.
If she dared to pull something like that now, she was asking for death.
“This must be a misunderstanding! Eddie protested. “Abel, you can’t just assume she’s here to kidnap Stella just because she brought people from Marie’s side. That’s not right.”
Abraham’s face darkened as he shot Eddie a cold glance.
Under that look. Eddie’s confidence crumbled. “Okay, okay…maybe not.”
But what if Evie rally was convinced by Marte to try and take Stella away?
“Wait a second. That doesn’t make sense. Those two hate each other. You know that.”
2/3
“Precisely because they’re enemies, it’s the perfect cover, Abel said calmly..
Eddie was getting anxious,
Damn it. Abel might actually have a point…
And with how aggressively Marie has been searching for Stella these past two years….
