Eve met his gaze for three seconds, then smiled and looked away.
She never thought there'd be a day Stellan would come out and lie to her, too.
Did he even think about it—if he tricked her into coming back, then what?
Would Autumn Ellison just let it go like that?
No way.
Autumn might even make a move against the baby in her belly.
That's a scene she couldn't bear to imagine.
Feeling restless, Eve stood up, her tone cold and distant as she looked at Stellan.
"If you're done talking, just go back. I don't care if what you say is true or not, either way, I'm not going back to Ardane."
"Not going back, huh?"
Stellan nodded. "Then I'll stay here with you."
"...Who asked you to stay? I'm perfectly fine and free on my own, I don't need you here, just leave."
"Eve."
Stellan suddenly spoke, striding toward her, "You left me without a word, blocked me—do you have any idea what these past days have been like for me?"
Eve pressed her lips together, saying nothing.
