Chapter 263 A Heart That Never Healed.
That man had left a deep mark on her life, only to disappear just as Marie had fallen for him the most.
Abraham pressed his forehead. Till send a few people with you. It’s complicated over there.”
Because it was so far from the surrounding cities, it had become a regular gathering place for underground figures.
Marie said. “No need.”
“Marie.” Abraham’s tone grew heavier.
Ever since the Tom family incident, he’d been overly protective of everyone around him.
Especially the people who mattered most.
Marie said, ‘I have someone.”
She wasn’t foolish enough to head to a place like Frapucu alone. She knew perfectly well just how dark that place could be.
Hearing her say that. Abraham grunted in acknowledgment, agreeing.
The call went quiet,
Stella looked at Abraham. “Mr. Morris is still alive?”
Dan Morris. Stella still remembered the first time Marie had brought him to meet her.
The man had neat short hair, tightly pressed thin lips, and those phoenix eyes that seemed to speak on
their own.
His character was wild and unruly, a sharp contrast to Abraham’s cold sternness, which made him particularly memorable to
Stella.
She had only met him three times. By the fourth time, she’d received news that he was gone and with him, he’d crushed
Marie’s heart.
Abranam said. “It might not be him.”
Stella said, “I hope it’s a miracle.”
She ached for the feelings Marie had buried in that man.
Abraham played with her slightly chilly hand. “Cold?”
“Not at all.”
It didn’t even feel cold inside.
Still, Abraham fetched a soft, furry jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
He knew Stella hated wearing anything too heavy in winter, especially anything that restricted her arms, so her wardrobe was full of all kinds of jackets.
Stella said, “I’m really not cold.
“Be good.”
His voice was full of indulgence. In the end, Stella obediently put the jacket on
Dinner that evening was warm and lively. With the heavy snow outside, Stella loved nothing more than cooking up all kinds of hot dishes.
1/3
Abraham asked, “Why do you like eating this way?”
He wasn’t too fond of this kind of soupy meal.
Stella said, “It’s warm”
“Are you cold?”
No, but when you see the snow outside, eating like this just feels right
Abraham chuckled. “So you still know how to catch a feeling, huh?”
So much drama over eating.
Stella asked, “Where are Eddie and Victor?”
It was unusual for both of them to be missing.
Abraham said, “Eddie went to find Evie. No idea where Victor is.”
Hearing that Eddie went to find Evie, Stella swallowed a mouthful of radish and said, “You really scared Eddie today.
She had been scared too.
Jonathan had just caused trouble in Scaflats Cove today- who would dare mess with him at a time like this?
Abraham said, “Scared of what? I just told Abel to throw her out of Rivermount.”
Stella was speechless.
Throw her out of Rivermount! A girl?
Her mouth twitched. “That’s not very nice, is it? What were you planning for Abel to do? Beat Evie up? Let me tell you. Evie’s just a girl. You can’t treat her like that.”
Everyone said you should be gentle with girls
Abraham raised an eyebrow. “Evie’s a girl? News to me.”
Stella was speechless.
Fair enough. With the way Evie had dressed all these years, she really didn’t look any different from a guy.
Sometimes when Evie stood next to Marie, Stella would even get the illusion that they made a nice couple.
‘Still, tell Abel not to go too hard. She might not look like it, but she really is a girl”
Abraham said, “At the very least, a bruised face.”
Stella was speechless. That’s all? Then she could relax.
Wit, hold
Suddenly thinking of Evie’s skin tone, Stella grew uneasy.
She looked nervously at Abraham. “Evie’s skin. that might not be so easy.”
In her memory, Evie had always been a girl who loved the sun.
She spent her summers sunbathing at the beach, and winters soaking up the sun on balconies.
