Chapter 126
Stella was confused by his action, but she guessed it must not be something good. After getting into the
car, Justin uttered, “Mr. Smith has always been like this. Don’t think too much about it.”
She shook her head. “I didn’t.”
She was so open and honest that he was unable to say anything.
Only after a while did he say, “I thought you would mind if he misunderstood the relationship between the
two of us. After all, you and Weston…”
He did not finish the rest of his sentence, and his tone wasn’t inappropriate. Her eyes darkened. Not
saying anything, she looked out the window.
After a while, she said, “Thank you for dropping me off on the way.” If he hadn’t insisted on giving her a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtride, she might not have given him this chance. He knew it very well in his heart. If there weren’t
outsiders around, making it look strange if she kept on refusing, she would probably not have accepted
his offer. He had also told himself that she was only a woman he failed to pursue. She had already
chosen to be with Weston, so what else could he say? He only hoped that she would not regret it when
she was treated as a third wheel, the one everyone cursed at in the future. When he realized what he
was thinking, he suddenly felt that he was a bit despicable.
He seemed to hope that she would get into big trouble in the future and fall hard to prove that he was
right.
But this was an immoral thought.
He closed his eyes for a moment, and his expression relaxed a bit. “I didn’t mean that. I just think that—”
She interrupted him and simply looked at him without any particular expression on her face.” I
understand, Mr. Hall. Thank you for taking care of Robb back then.” Her words stopped him from saying
everything in his mind.
He cast her an obscure look and simply ordered his chauffeur to continue driving.
The time was already a bit late, so he let the chauffeur drive straight to her residence. “I know you won’t
listen to anything I say now. Anyway, the promise I made is still valid. If you face any problem, you can
always come to me.”.
He paused and then continued, “Maybe I was too aggressive last time, but I didn’t mean it. I simply hope
that you will make the right decision and not let yourself regret it. No matter
what, I will always be Robb’s teacher. This will not change.”
She withdrew her gaze. Looking at him, she suddenly hesitated. “Did you help me get this tutoring job?”
Hearing her respectful tone to draw the line between them, he revealed a self-deprecating smile. “It’s just
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏma trivial matter. Don’t worry about it.”
This answered her question just now.
She was silent for quite a while before saying, “Thank you.” Apart from thanking him, she did not know
what else she could say as she felt that saying anything else would sound insincere. After all, her current
circumstances did not allow her to repay those who had helped her before.
Everyone would know how to say nice things, but she did not want to make empty promises to anyone,
so she could only wait until the day she became successful and was capable of repaying them to say
these words.
Her tone was very polite, but it was distant. He saw through it but did not say anything in the end. They
simply remained silent.
The car was driving at a constant speed, and a moment later, there was an abrupt ringing of the phone.
He took out his phone and stared at the words jumping on the screen. With a gloomy face, he picked it
up. “What’s the matter?” He was obviously annoyed.
