Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 42:.

After hearing his words, Stella becso frightened that her body trembled and her legs weakened. This man...

Did he want her to die of a heart attack?

Although they had met earlier at the hospital, RK had not asked her or said a single word or question. He didn’t

ask, which meant he didn’t take Adrian seriously. It also meant that he hadn't noticed anything particular about

him. Now, why did he suddenly ask that question?

What's more, she didn’t ask him when she was standing in front of him, she asked a child! What did this man

want to do? Stella was so frightened that her hands and feet were trembling, and her heart was beating very

fast.

But in the next second, for the sake of her precious child, she cto her senses and calmed down.

He looked at the father and son duo sitting on the couch and said, “Mr. Kingston, didn’t | tell you last tthat

Adrian is Emily’s nephew, have you forgotten?”

But when Adrian heard her words, he felt very unhappy. He hadn't even been able to say a single word before

Stella snatched the opportunity away from him.

At being called Emily’s nephew, the little boy pouted with a small mouth and felt unhappy. He looked at her

angrily. What a great liar! Couldn't he tell others that he was her son? Adrian Richard was Stella Richard's son!

How could he be so shameful?

RK just looked at her, but said nothing. Stella didn’t know if he believed her or not. She nervously looked at the

man’s face, trying to find something in his expression. However, no matter how she looked, she couldn't find

anything.

Because no matter what, this man always had a calm and indifferent expression. You couldn't tell from his face

what he was thinking.

However, Stella thought in her heart that, if only for a while, she was sure that the man had believed her. But it

was only temporary.

Now that this man had asked the question, it meant that she was beginning to doubt Adrian's identity. Not to

mention the suspicion of whose son he was, at least the little boy lived with her at home.

It was normal for him to have sdoubt about Adrian and perhaps find it strange. Was he thinking about why

his ex-wife was living with a child? He must have been thinking too much. How could he think so much?

“Adrian... hurry back to your room and go to sleep. It's already getting late, and you still have to go to school

tomorrow,”

Ga In ovels .fuels your imagination

Stella said, quickly patting the boy’s soft shoulder. It would be better if she went back to her room as soon as

possible. Otherwise, the more tAdrian spent in front of RK, the more uncomfortable she would feel.

She was very scared. Stella was afraid that RK would find out about Adrian, and then this man might hurt her.

Stella could stand anything, but the most unbearable thing in the world for her was for someone to hurt Adrian.

She couldn't let that happen. Adrian was everything to her. She couldn't even think about him being hurt.

How could Adrian’s little brain understand adult conflict? He thought Darling must have becinfatuated with

this guy because he was afraid he wouldn't like him if he told him his true identity.Hmph! And he even blamed

Emily.

If it weren't for the fact that the little guy's heart was as big as the ocean, he really wouldn't be able to stand it.

Just like that, for the sake of his love, his own mother had abandoned him.

Normally, he would say, “Adrian, you're Mom's favorite,” “Mom’s pride,” and “Mom's life,” and say a lot of sweet

words like that.

But when the tcame... Darling becinstantly hostile. What did he do when he was in front of the man?

She didn’t even acknowledge him. If she could abandon him now just like that, what would happen in the future?

In the future, when they got married, there would be no room for him at home. Adrian said loudly, “Hmph!” He

was showing his anger!

He jumped off the couch in embarrassment and ran to his room. He was still wearing his panda pajamas, and

when he walked away so tically, the scene looked very desolate and depressing. He looked like someone

who had been kicked out of the house.

It was very funny. Adrian went back to his room, leaving only Stella and RK in the living room.

As for Emily, she was not at home. This girl liked to go out with her friends to the bars, so she didn’t usually

cback. After picking up the pants from the floor, Stella looked at the man and said, “Sit here and wait for

me. I'll go wash them for you...”.

“Okay,” RK replied nonchalantly. He acted like it was his house.

“So you...” Stella stood awkwardly and pointed to her wet underwear. She didn’t know whether he should take

them off or not.

After being interrupted by the little fellow a moment ago, the ambiguous atmosphere between them seemed to

have been extinguished by a bucket of cold water. Neither of them had the sinterest as before.

RK did not answer. He got up from the couch and asked where the bathroom was before going inside. Stella held

the man’s pants in her arms and stood there, feeling a little unnatural no matter what she looked like. She felt

like a big wave that had yet to settle.

Five minutes later, the man emerged from the bathroom. He was wearing only his shirt, and his lower body was

wrapped in a bath towel. Stella shook her head. If this continued, she felt she would bechis fangirl. She was

going crazy.

“Here, wash it for me.”

Stella lowered her head and blushed because suddenly a pair of male briefs appeared before her eyes. Stella's

face turned apple red. Just now, she really wanted to wash it. But now, with what this man said or did, no matter

how she looked, it didn’t seem to feel right. She felt strange.

For a moment, she stood motionless. She didn’t know whether she should take it or not. Take it! She really

wanted to wash it. She didn’t need to think too hard. It didn’t seem right to her. She was the one who soiled his

pants. So no matter what he said, she had to wash them. She couldn't afford to compensate him with money.

He opened his thin lips and said, “Do it; it’s not like you never washed it.” As she said this, she took Stella’s hand

and handed her black underwear to her.

Then he walked past Stella and sat down on the couch. He was like a great lord, sitting there waiting for his

servant to wash his pants.

What a shameless, shameless punk! This bastard! He was becoming increasingly rude to her. He was behaving

as if Stella owed him something. This man... he thought she was his mother? He must think that...

Stella stomped her foot in anger and walked into the bathroom with the man’s pants in her hand. She wasn’t

about to give up. If she had known earlier that the man would behave like this, she would have been more

careful.

| would never have been so kind as to help him apply the medicine to the wound on his hand and even help him

buy it.

Look at the man; where was the wound on his hand? It looked perfectly fine to her. He could even pinch it and hit

it - he could do anything! After Stella married into the Kingston family, the Richards stopped giving her money.

They always treated her as if she had married into a rich and powerful family. They wouldn't pay her tuition or

living expenses.

It was obvious they wanted her to go to the Kingston family for these expenses. Of course, before she married

RK, David only paid her tuition. Also, they only paid her tuition until she turned eighteen; after that, it was paid

by Tristan, who worked hard outside and earned for her.

But after she married RK, Tristan seemed to disappear from her world. As a result, Stella had no one to pay her

tuition and child support. At that point, she mentioned to him that she wanted to go out to work, but he didn’t

agree.

He just told her that if she listened to him, he could pay her expenses every month. As it turned out... the

meaning of “paying attention to him” involved things like helping him wash clothes and socks.

So, every day | had to cook for him, change his clothes.... Every day | had to be at the door waiting for him when

he chfrom work. | couldn't sleep before he chome, | had to wait. All that becthe meaning of

“listening to him”. But things didn’t end there.

Of course, he wasn't just paying her tuition. Stella was studying at a well-known university, and tuition, living

and housing expenses were expensive.

The money was only enough to cover her monthly living expenses, but not enough to pay for tuition or room and

board.

So when it ctto pay her tuition, this man would trade her obligation to do the housework for the

obligation to sleep with him. They were legal husband and wife, so it was a very normal thing for a couple.

But the situation between them was very different. She had no problem sleeping with him, but... she wanted to

do it for love, not for sexchange between them.

At first, Stella tried to borrow money from her friends, but they were all the sage as her, students. So they

couldn’t lend her tens of thousands that way. Later, the teacher started to insist her to pay again and again.

They didn’t treat her well even though she was just reading her book. Sometimes they even asked her to stay

outside the classroom listening to the lecture.... It was a warning.

In the end, Stella had to decide to risk everything to have a relationship with this man. Therefore, even though

she was married into a wealthy family, this man had given her a single penny for no reason.

Thinking about it now, Stella felt even more aggrieved. Six years ago, she had to wash that man’s clothes and

underwear.

Six years later, even after getting divorced, nothing changed for her. She was still doing the sthing. Stella

felt she owed this man something in her last life, and so she had to pay him back in this one.

Fifteen minutes later... It took Stella a lot of effort to wash the pants and underwear, dry them and take them

out. But when she cout of the bathroom, she heard laughter coming from the living room. When Stella came

out, she saw that Adrian, who had just been sent to sleep in his room, was now sitting on the couch in the living

room. Father and son were sitting on the couch, chatting and laughing happily.
