Chapter 1194 All of a sudden, Stella clenched her fists and said, “I’ve never returned your feelings once in the
past three years, and besides, you‘ve treated me like a sister all this time... or am I just mistaken?”
“But you‘ve never openly rejected me before!” argued Miguel. “So why is it exactly that now you‘re suddenly saying
obvious things like how we can never be anything more than family...?” Miguel paused and stared at her silently for
a while. Then he could not help but laugh, although the laughter that escaped his lips was filled with bitterness.
“So you knew all along...” “So you knew all along, huh?”
He stared vacantly at his own hand as it clutched at the empty air.
“Don‘t you understand,” he asked with a hoarse voice,” why I’m so restless all of a sudden? It‘s because I‘m scared.
I feel insecure. I‘m afraid that as soon as you return to Ahn City, you‘ll fly back into his arms. That is why I have to
hold onto you as firmly as I can right now. I‘m so scared of losing you, Stella.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella was not sure how to feel about that. She raised her
hand, meaning to pat him on the shoulder, but then decided against it.
“I‘ve always regarded you as a brother,” she insisted firmly. “And nothing can ever change that. I‘m really sorry...
But as for Weston Ford, he‘s nothing to me now. Nothing at all.”
Miguel‘s eyes seemed blank. After a long while, he finally regained his composure and smiled at her.
“I know,” he said. “So long you allow me to be by your side, it means I still have a chance, right? We have all the
time in the world anyway. There‘s no need to hurry.”
“Miguel...” Stella‘s brows knitted again.
“Let me tell you about my next plan,” Miguel interrupted her. “I‘ve already met the person in charge in Ahn City...”
Now that he had turned the subject to business, Stella had no choice but to go along with him.
“Okay,” she sighed. “I‘ll go change into something more comfortable and take a quick look at Elias and Emma.
Then we‘ll talk.”
Elias and Emma were both already asleep. Stella had not been home since the afternoon, but she saw their
activities that day because the nanny had recorded videos of them doing various activities and sent them to her.
She had not seen them for only a few hours, yet she had already missed them so much.
She gazed lovingly at the twins. They were both lying flat on their back, arms and legs stretched out. She could not
help but pinch their noses.
“Naughty kids,” she grumbled. “You should‘ve waited for Mommy to come home and say goodnight before you go
to bed...”
She then kissed their cheeks and walked out of their room.
After changing into something a bit more more casual , she saw Miguel already waiting for her on the couch with
some documents in his hands.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe walked up to him and poured him a cup of coffee. “Looking at you, I‘d guess you must‘ve encountered some
major obstacles already. Am I right?”
They had returned to this country with a plan to expand their business, but neither would have guessed that such
huge hurdles would block their path so soon after arriving
“The majority of the market share is basically dominated by Ford Corporation,” Miguel explained. “It‘s practically
impossible for us to make any kind of breakthrough here. Our only hope is to get Weston Ford‘s help.” Miguel had
been having headaches about this exact matter.
If it had been anybody else, he would‘ve gladly laid down
his ego if it meant he could get ahead. But it just had to be Weston Ford, the only person in the world he was
unwilling to bow down to or beg for help.
But Stella found none of this surprising at all. She took a sip of her coffee and sat down across from Miguel.
“He was already building his own business empire three years ago,” she said, “and now it can only get bigger and
bigger. There‘s nothing extraordinary about that. In fact, he has even expanded his business into Europe, and he‘s
still quite powerful in the delta too. Going up against him will certainly be no mean feat.”
