StarNovelChapter 251:
Stella sat on the bed, holding the ointment in her hand. She suddenly felt a bit warm, with an inexplicable feeling
in her heart. She didn’t know if it was good or bad. Sometimes, RK was so distant and hard to read that no one
could understand what he was thinking—for example, now.
Just a few days ago, he and Sophia appeared together in the newspaper, being labeled as a “perfect match.” Yet
today, here he was, standing before her.
And when she was in the bathroom, he had told her that he had nothing to do with Sophia. What was going on?
Was she overthinking things, or had she misunderstood him?
The more she thought about it, the worse she felt. Stella didn’t know whether to trust RK or not. She just couldn't
figure him out.
She shook her head, trying to clear her mind of the confusing thoughts. Then, she applied the cold ointment to
her ankle, feeling the soothing effect as it relieved the swelling and redness.
Before long, she drifted off to sleep in the large, empty room.

To be honest, over time, Stella had grown accustomed to living alone in the RK mansion, but tonight... for some
reason, her thoughts were filled with that man.
Normally, sleeping alone didn’t bother her. It felt like moving from the Richard family’s house to the RK mansion
—just another different place to sleep. But tonight, her heart felt heavy, occupied by thoughts she couldn't
shake. She was restless and couldn't make sense of her emotions.
The next morning, when Stella woke up, the space next to her was still empty, just as it had been every other
night. Nothing had changed.
And then another month passed...
Stella could finally walk on her right foot again. However, during that time, aside from the doctor who cto
check on her daily, she had very little interaction with anyone except the servants. It felt like she was under
house arrest, staying in the mansion every day with nowhere to go.
RK hadn't returned heven once during the entire month.

It seemed like the emotional gap between them had grown back to where it was before—like strangers. No, to be
more accurate, they were probably worse than strangers.
Her phone rang.
It was a call from Kelly.
Stella picked up, knowing she hadn't seen Kelly in over a month due to her injury. Kelly had offered to visit, but
Stella had declined several times. After all, if Kelly saw the state of her injured foot, she would demand to know
what had happened.
Stella didn’t want to explain the incident with Sophia. It would only make her friend furious, and Kelly might even
try to confront Sophia herself.
“Stella! College starts in five days! Congratulations, you're finally getting out of ‘prison’!”
Kelly’s cheerful voice greeted her as soon as the call connected. She kept saying, “Congratulations,” as if it were
her, not Stella, who had been stuck at hfor weeks.

Stella forced a smile. “Hehe... Little girl, are you praisingor making fun of me? Why do | feel so weird and
uncomfortable?”
“What are you talking about? It must've been so nice for you, staying at hall summer, being served food
and drinks constantly. You didn’t even call me!” Kelly complained.
“You... You've been stuck in the RK mansion all day. You must have had a ton of free tthis summer! Why
didn’t you go on a vacation with me? You didn’t even have tto go shopping or grab a meal! If you keep this
up, you'll beca rich man’s mistress!” Kelly added with a mock-serious tone.
Stella felt embarrassed. “It's because of that last twhen we went to KTV... If we had just gone to the
bookstore like we originally planned, maybe | wouldn't have ended up like this!”
After all, it was that visit to the KTV that had caused so much trouble for her.
“Alright, alright, it's all my fault!” Kelly said with a sigh, rubbing her forehead. “But in five days, you'll finally be
free again! You can leave the ‘prison’ behind.”
“And once college starts, we'll be able to see each other every day! Plus, when you're living at the dorms, he
can’t control you anymore!”
