StarNovelChapter 2409 Lindsay fixed a stern Look on the door and then opened it, maintaining a neutral expression.
Robin berated her for her slowness and lack of usefulness before slamming the door shut. Lindsay glared at the door for a long time, and then made a silent resolution.
She went back to the dining table to continue her meal.
When Robin emerged, she casually asked about his plans for the day.
Robin said with a hint of impatience, Ill stay at htoday.
Lindsay flashed a card at Robin with a sly grin.
Check this out-a new sports car just hit the market.
If it catches your eye, its yours to buy.
A mix of joy and suspicion washed over Robin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis is unexpected. Whats got you playing Santa all of a sudden? With a shrug, Lindsay replied, Im just clearing out what I have left.
Youve stuck byfor a long time; think of this as a Little thank you.
Plus, once my dessert shop starts turning a profit, youll get a slice of that too.
Acknowledging her gesture with a nod, Robin pocketed the card and retreated to his room.
Once ready, he made his exit with a confident swagger.
Meanwhile, Lindsays expression turned cunning as she texted a mercenary, signaling it was tto act.
She was done with Robin and Stella cluttering her path to Matthew.
Unaware of the brewing storm, Stella left the stuand stopped by the storefront to meet with her renovation designer.
As she wrapped up, her gaze inadvertently landed on the brisk pace of Lindsays store setup nearby.
She was curious about Lindsays business, yet she refrained from asking any questions-past dealings with Lindsay had left a sour taste.
Comforted by the thought of Lindsay being preoccupied, Stella hoped it would keep her out of mischief. Stella flagged down a taxi for her trip to the dealership.
As the city blurred past, she glanced at her phone and noticed a new message from Matthew.
He was inviting her over for dinner at the Clark family residence Later that evening.
She typed a quick yes, her mind drifting to his medical appointment the previous Saturday.
The doctor had been clearsurgery was imminent and Matthew wanted to break the news to Waldo himself.
With thoughts of Matthews health swirling in her mind, Stella barely registered arriving at the dealership.
She was met by an apologetic staff member who expressed regret that she had to make the trip.
He guided Stella to the car, making sure everything was up to snuff before he casually suggested for someone to drive the car for her.
Stella offered him a polite smile.
No, thanks.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIm good to drive myself.
As Stella prepared to drive off, Robin materialized at the doorway, bism fingers drumming on the hood of her car. What a coincidence, he quipped. Stella opted for silence, clearly uninterested in a chat.
She slipped into her car, ready to leave, yet Robin persisted, planting mself against her window, his anger simmering from their last unpleasant exchange. Dont think Ive forgotten last time, Stella.
Dont push your Luck.
Calm and cool, Stella met his glare with a firm resolve.
Remember my warning, Robin.
Tryagain, and youll see what happens.
She started the car and left without another word.
Robin, teeth gritted in silent rage, watched her drive off.
His interest in car shopping vanished, overtaken by a board compulsion to follow her. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
