PopularNovelChapter 431: Just Being Overprotective Chapter 431: Just Being Overprotective "I'm fine, really. You don't need to worry about me." Rianne replied, "Didn't they say you weren't feeling well?” "I'm not. My brother's just being overprotective." +5 Free Coins Seriously-he worried way too much. Probably just because she'd eaten too much the past few days and now didn't feel like cating. That's all.
Calling a doctor for that? Rianne was silent for a moment. Overprotective? Was that even the right word? His so-called "overprotectiveness" had already gotten two cars stuck in a ditch today. Her car still wasn't out yet. "Alright then, I'm heading out." Since Stella wasn't feeling sick after all, Rianne didn't see any reason to go to Seaflats Cove anymore.
They chatted for a minute or two, then hung up.
Just as Stella put her phone down, the butler cover. "Ms. Stella, Mr. Louis is here." "Let him in," Stella said calmly.
She had no idea what Louis was doing here. But whatever needed to be said, she'd already made it clear to him before.
Soon, Louis was brought inside.
When he saw that she was alone, he froze. "Abraham's not here?" Stella raised a brow. "Aren't you here to see me? What does it matter whether Abraham's here or not?" "It matters," Louis said flatly.
Of course it mattered.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAbraham's possessiveness-especially when it cto Stella-was no secret. If Louis had known he wasn't around, he wouldn't have cat all.
"What's it got to do with you?" she asked, lifting an eyebrow.
"A lot, actually." So if Abraham wasn't here, this guy didn't even dare show up? "Then maybe you should just leave," she said dryly.
Such a queen...
Leave? Now? "I already call the way out here-freezing weather, icy roads. It wasn't easy getting here." The roads today were a mess. He wouldn't have cif he hadn't heard about the Wilde family situation.
Abraham was ruthless-he'd seen that clearly now.
Louis already knew about the incident between Jasmine and Stella at the mall.
Even worse, Sharon had been there too.
Whether she'd been involved or not, he couldn't say. But she kept insisting she wasn't. No matter how hard he pressed her, she wouldn't change her story.
1/3 1:25 PM d Chapter 431: Just Being Overprotective Still, he couldn't let it go. He had to confirm things with Stella herself.
After all, the Reed family had already been destroyed.
The Keene family-once the top family in all of Rivermount-was a total mess now.
And now the Wilde family? Abraham's methods... Louis had definitely seen what the man was capable of.
No matter what, he needed to be sure.
Stella asked, "So why are you here? Letsay this first-if you're looking for a backdoor deal, it's not happening." +5 Free Coins "Besides, you already got the ore, didn't you? You were the only one in Rivermount who managed to land it. What other 'backdoor' could you possibly need?" The Keene family had fought tooth and nail for it-and still didn't get it.
So Stella really couldn't figure out what he could possibly want from her now.
Louis groaned inwardly.
Backdoor deal, really? That phrase still gave him PTSD.
Especially after that whole mess with the misdelivered gift last time... That misunderstanding had almost ruined his partnership.
So now, every the heard the phrase backdoor, he got a little twitchy.
He quickly shook his head. "Nope. No backdoor deals." "Then what is it?"
"I want to know-during that whole thing with Jasmine, was Sharonm involved?" Stella blinked. Jasmine? Wait-he call the way here just for that? She glanced outside at the thick snow. It was really piling up.
"You call the way here just to ask that?" Wasn't this guy being a little too paranoid? "Of course I did," Louis replied.
"You could've just called me, you know." This really wasn't something that required a face-to-face meeting.
"I don't have Oh.
your number." Right.
Hardly anyone had her number these days. Especially someone Like Louis, who wash Dexactly close. "You could've just called my brother," she pointed out.
This was absolutely something that could've been cleared up over the phone. No need to show up The second she said that, Louis stiffened.
