Chapter 1313
Soon afterward, Angelina found out that Stella’s surgery was successful, and she rushed over to visit her.
She then arrived with Henry Moore following closely behind her.
Angelina seemed to pay little attention to him. She just sat down in front of Stella and sighed. “I’ve been so worried
about you! I was relieved to find out that you were safe, but it turned out that you’d gone blind! I’m so glad
everything turned out well in the end. Oh… when will Elias and Emma be back?”
She had been babysitting the kids for a while and had grown quite attached to them.
“They won’t be back for a while still,” Stella replied, smiling. “Once my eyes have healed completely, I’ll bring them
home as soon as I can. In the meantime, though, I’m sure the Garcia family is taking very good care of them, so
don’t worry.”
“That’s good to know,” said Angelina. She was just about to say something else when she noticed that Henry was
listlessly toying with her hair.
“Stay away from me!” she snapped, swatting his hand away from her.
“How long are you going to stay mad at me?” asked Henry as he looked at her helplessly. “You know well enough
that I’ve cut all contact with Guinevere Cohen!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella froze a little when she heard the name, hit by a sudden realization of just how far she’d come since
everything that had happened to her in the past.
Angelina quickly covered Henry’s mouth and glared at him. How could he not know how inappropriate it is to
mention that name? Has he forgotten what happened between Guinevere and Stella? Unbelievable!
Henry took her hand and pulled it down, then gave her a meaningful look. “Don’t worry. Stella is not as fragile as
you might think.”
He then glanced at Stella and added, “Am I right?”
The corners of Stella’s mouth twitched. Ignoring his obvious jibe, she merely said, “It looks like you get along with
Guinevere really well. You seem to know everything about her. It seems that even the slightest thing about her can’t
escape you.”
“Can you not ruin everything for me?” snapped Henry,
his face darkening as soon as he heard her. “Do you know
how hard it was for me to coax this stubborn woman?”
Angelina completely lost her patience when she heard this and didn’t want him there for a second longer. She
looked downtrodden as if genuinely losing her temper
now.
“If you don’t leave now, then I’ll leave myself! I just can’t
let you stay here and be an eyesore to Stella!” she yelled.
Sensing that she was serious from her tone, Henry slowly
stood up. “Fine.”
He then snatched her handbag and told her, “I’ll be waiting for you outside.”
“Why are you taking my handbag?” she asked as she shot up to her feet.
“I don’t want you sneaking out without me behind my back, leaving me alone out there waiting for you like an idiot.
So I’m taking your stuff as collateral so you won’t
bail on me.”
“You-”
Angelina was speechless, but she had no other choice but to just watch him as he walked out of the room.
Stella sighed as she observed her friend being visibly upset before she asked her, “What is going on between you
and Henry Moore exactly?”
“Nothing,” Angelina replied. “He seems to be pursuing me, though.”
She then casually added, “I’m wondering if there’s something seriously wrong with him. He used to despise me in
the past, but as soon as he found out that I have a child, he changed completely and started to follow me around
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeverywhere, trying to woo me…”
She found his behavior very strange indeed, and it completely changed her impression of him. He couldn’t
possibly want her because he liked the fact that she had a child, could he?
Or perhaps he had a secret medical condition that made it
impossible for him to have his own children, so now that
he found out Angelina was a single mother with a child, could he be planning to seduce her so her child would be
his?
But none of that made sense to Angelina.
Stella felt conflicted. After a while, she reminded her
friend, “Do you remember the woman named Faye that I
told you about?”
Angelina paused, then said, “Yeah.”
“They say you look exactly like her… I’m just worried that Henry Moore might use you as a substitute…”
Angelina’s expression changed drastically, but she smiled and tapped her fingers on the table. “Actually, I have
considered this, but didn’t they also say that the woman is already dead?”
