When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 154 What It Truly Means To Be Smart

Inside the café. Cecilia stood up and walked over to Stella.

I’ve

Then, she lowered her voice and gently whispered into the latter’s car, “Didn’t you say changed? So, why do you still think I’d fall for your lies, just like before? I’ll have you know, I was well aware of your underhanded tactics before. I simply chose to ignore them out of disdain! Do me a favor and be a bit smarter next time!”

After hearing what Cecilia had said, Stella’s expression, which usually looked pitiable, turned terribly gloomy.

Cecilia then walked straight out of the cafe. Once outside, she looked toward the spot where Sven had parked his car. But now, the car that was once there was nowhere to be seen.

She couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief..

Suddenly, she realized that the current Nathaniel was truly different from the young man she used to adore.

That young man wasn’t one to overthink things. He would treat her well without ever doubting her.

Cecilia sat in the car, lost in thought as she left.

Stella had just stepped out and hadn’t gotten far when suddenly, a man seized her hand, leading her to a secluded area.

“I miss you so much, Stella.”

The man standing before her was unshaven, with dark circles under his eyes, clearly indicating that he hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in quite some time.

Stella reached out, intending to push him away. “Sean, how did you manage to track me down here? How many times do I have to tell you that I’m not going back to Lushtopia with you? If you truly care about me, then go back alone. Don’t stay in Tudela anymore.”

Sean’s heart was filled with pain. “Is it because of Nathaniel? He isn’t truly sincere toward you. If he really loved you, why hasn’t he married you yet?”

Upon hearing these words, Stella didn’t care in the slightest.

“So what? At least he can provide what I desire.”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Sean was taken aback.

Following that, Stella added, “What can you provide me?”

“L…”

“Right now, you can’t give me anything.”

Sean shook his head, his hands firmly gripping Stella’s arm, “Even though my company has gone under, I can still compose music. I can write songs just for you.”

Stella scoffed dismissively with a smirk.

“I don’t need your music, you’ve long since lost your talent. Just admit it, Sean.”

Sean’s eyes were brimming with tears as he exclaimed. “How could you be so heartless? Could you have gotten this far if it weren’t for me? I need you right now!”

Noticing his anger, Stella switched to a more persuasive tone.

“Sean, can you please be a bit more mature? We’re all looking for someone who can support and stand by us. Look at what you’ve become now. You weren’t as desolate as you are now when I left. Five years have passed, and while I’ve flourished, you haven’t grown at all. It’s only because of my patience that I still converse with you. Any other woman would have stopped acknowledging you a long time ago. And you think I’m heartless? How hurtful!”

Upon hearing her words, Sean became compliant once again.

“It was your absence that left me completely devastated.”

Stella let out a deep sigh. “But as a man, shouldn’t you be protecting me? Or am I expected to support you financially in the future? Sean, you’ve been here all along, haven’t you? If so, then you must have seen what just happened. I was bullied, but you couldn’t help me at all.”

After Sean silently listened to her, he let her go, his eyes filled with serious determination.

“I can protect you!”

He then took his leave after saying that.

Stella watched his retreating figure, her gaze fierce and icy as she patted the spot where he had grabbed her.

Cecilia, didn’t you think I wasn’t smart enough? Well, I’ll show you right now what it truly means to be smart!
