Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again!

Chapter 1086: Chapter 1086: Will You Leave Me?

"...Will you leave me?" Stella Charlie’s voice trembled a bit.

Vincent Warner felt a dull ache in his heart. He gripped her hand more firmly, trying to offer her a sense of security: "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Stella Charlie held back her tears, slowly withdrawing her hand from Vincent Warner’s palm.

Watching Stella Charlie do this, Vincent Warner felt an inexplicable panic inside.

"...She came to see me today."

"Who?"

"Miss Swift."

Vincent Warner was taken aback, frowning unhappily: "Chloe Swift? She came here to find you?"

Stella Charlie looked up at him: "What... relationship do you have?"

This was probably the first time she probed into Vincent Warner’s private affairs.

She asked cautiously.

She thought she should be entitled to ask such questions now, shouldn’t she?

Vincent Warner hadn’t planned to tell Stella Charlie these things; it was something he should manage himself.

"She’s a blind date my mother introduced, but I don’t like her."

"Then why not make it clear to her?"

Vincent Warner took a deep breath and explained, "My family’s situation is a bit complicated, but don’t worry, I’ll handle it."

Stella Charlie opened her mouth as if wanting to speak but eventually asked nothing more.

Vincent Warner gently brushed the hair off Stella Charlie’s face and said softly, "Whatever she said to you, don’t dwell on it."

"Give me some time, and I’ll sort these things out."

Stella Charlie lowered her gaze and remained silent, clearly with lingering doubts.

Vincent Warner lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead: "Trust me, okay?"

Stella Charlie slightly shrank her neck and answered softly: "...Okay."

"Don’t overthink it; sleep now."

Stella Charlie closed her eyes, but her mind remained a mess.

It seemed that believing in him was the only choice she had. freёwebnovel.com

She thought that by striving to be better, she might gain his family’s approval.

A peaceful week passed, and with Vincent Warner’s company, Stella Charlie gradually forgot the unpleasantness brought by Chloe Swift.

With three days left until Vincent Warner’s birthday, Stella Charlie stayed up late for several nights translating manuscripts, finally saving enough to buy Vincent Warner a gift.

After her Friday class, Stella Charlie rode her bicycle to the shop she’d visited before for the gift.

As she locked her bike by the roadside, a white Maserati parked not far away.

Focused on buying her gift, she didn’t notice and quickly walked into the store.

"Hello, I came here half a month ago to look at a pen. Can I see it again?"

The store clerk smiled and asked, "The pens are over here. Which one did you look at before?"

Stella Charlie pointed to the glass cabinet: "This black one."

"This one happens to be on discount, it’s now fifty-eight hundred after the discount."

Hearing that it was cheaper by nearly a thousand, Stella Charlie smiled happily, "Please pack it for me, I’ll take this one."

For Vincent Warner, a gift costing several thousand might not be much, but for Stella Charlie, it was the maximum she could afford.

"Please pack this watch."

As Stella Charlie was checking out at the cashier, a somewhat familiar female voice suddenly came from behind.

She turned her head and saw Chloe Swift standing in front of the glass cabinet displaying watches.

The store clerk was noticeably more enthusiastic than before: "Is it for your husband? Would you like to try it on?"

"No need," Chloe Swift said, directly walking towards the cashier.

"You can come to the store for free adjustments if the strap is not suitable."

Stella Charlie buried her head, pretending not to see.

The clerk holding the watch walked over to the cashier, packing the gift box while asking Chloe Swift, "Are you a store member, ma’am? Members get a twelve percent discount; this comes to around four hundred and ninety thousand after the discount."

Hearing the price, Stella Charlie suddenly felt a heaviness inside.

The cashier handling her transaction smiled and said, "Hello ma’am, it’s fifty-eight hundred in total, may I scan you?"

Stella Charlie held out her phone’s QR code. After paying, she hurriedly took the bag and headed out of the store.
