Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again!

Chapter 1082: Chapter 1082: Will You Marry Me?

Vincent Warner noticed Stella Charlie’s mood dip, and he knew the reason.

But right now he couldn’t help himself, unable to give her any guarantees or promises.

He became the bad guy, knowing full well that all this would hurt Stella Charlie, yet he selfishly wanted to possess her.

"Why go to a place like this?"

Stella Charlie heard Vincent Warner’s question, and desperately wanted to ask back, "What about you?"

But the words changed into an explanation and confession upon reaching her lips: "Celebrating a senior’s birthday."

"A bunch of men, just you as the only woman."

"Do you know them? Do you know what their purpose is in inviting you out?"

"Try not to associate with that guy Kai Jacobs anymore."

Stella Charlie finally couldn’t help but open her mouth: "He’s my friend."

"He might not consider you as his friend, I don’t want to see you hanging around with him."

Stella Charlie felt a bit stuffy inside, her gaze kept falling out the window, looking troubled.

Vincent Warner turned his head to glance at her, softly pursued, "Did you hear me?"

"Got it." Stella Charlie’s tone was somewhat perfunctory, also slightly resentful.

After returning home, Stella Charlie went into her own room. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Curled up in the bathtub, hugging her knees, she didn’t know where she went wrong. She even reflected if there was something she didn’t do well enough for Vincent Warner to not give her any definite promise.

"Clang—"

The bathroom’s sliding door was pushed open from outside; Stella Charlie watched Vincent Warner walking towards the bathtub in a daze.

Reserved and conservative, she tightened her arms around her knees, wanting to hide but it was too late.

Vincent Warner stood by the bathtub, looking down at Stella Charlie, gently asked, "What’s wrong?"

Stella Charlie buried her head, the grievances and unease surged up all at once.

Vincent Warner stepped into the bathtub, not minding the water soaking his clothes, and embraced Stella Charlie from behind.

Silent resignation, Stella Charlie neither cooperated nor resisted.

The water in the bathtub splashed onto the floor.

She suddenly didn’t know if he did all this because he loved her, or if he just wanted to vent.

Vincent Warner kissed away her tears, Stella Charlie hoarsely, chokingly asked: "...Will you marry me?"

Vincent Warner froze momentarily, then said nothing, pressing firmly onto her lips...

He used silence to evade answering.

Yet she thought this was his silent promise through action...

Having never felt love since childhood, Stella Charlie found it hard to open up and rely on someone’s presence.

But once accustomed to this reliance, it became difficult to detach.

She was too easily gratified; with a little sweetness, she’d become moved and sink deeply.

So much so that Vincent Warner never mentioned love, yet she had already given her all.

She listened to Vincent Warner and weakened her ties with Kai Jacobs.

She wasn’t lying to Kai Jacobs, explaining openly it was for fear of Vincent Warner’s misunderstanding.

Kai Jacobs agreed to her suggestion, stopped actively seeking out Stella Charlie but still kept an eye on her movements, just without direct interaction.

Kai Jacobs counted as Stella Charlie’s only friend, once Kai was "chased away," Stella Charlie felt completely isolated, increasingly disliking staying in school.

Her world only contained Vincent Warner, but Vincent’s world held so much she wasn’t aware of.

This home seemed the only place she intertwined with Vincent Warner, but actually more often, it was her waiting for Vincent Warner in this house...

Sometimes for half a day, sometimes a day or two, sometimes ten days or half a month...,
