Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 1039

The cold laugh made Evan’s heart sink.

Especially when he saw the chill in Stella’s eyes.

It reminded him of Harbor City.

Back then, she had worn that same dangerous coldness almost every day.

Why had it felt so dangerous?

Because she hated the Wright family.

Because whatever warmth she had once felt for Evan had already disappeared.

Not even the love they had shared could overcome that hatred.

The thought made his chest tighten.

That hatred was the one divide between them he could never seem to cross.

But what was he supposed to do?

Even knowing it existed, he still could not bring himself to let her go.

He had never intended to let her go.

“Evan, I honestly don’t know what to say about you,” Stella said. “You’re such a hypocrite.”

“What did I do?”

Evan immediately grew anxious.

He truly did not know what she was referring to.

“You said you would never let me go.”

“I won’t,” Evan replied without hesitation.

Even if the most powerful man in the world stood before him, his answer would remain the same.

“Do you truly not understand what stands between us?” Stella asked. “Or are you pretending not to?”

She had avoided discussing this with him lately.

Her mother’s death was still an open wound.

Every time Stella brought it up, it felt as though someone had torn the scar open again.

The pain was unbearable.

But now that Dora and Fiona’s treatment in prison had come to light, Stella could no longer avoid it.

Evan pressed his lips together.

Suddenly, he did not dare respond.

He was beginning to understand.

Stella must have learned what was happening in Harbor City.

“Your parents caused my mother’s death,” Stella said. “They deserved to be punished. And you…”

She stopped there and looked at him coldly.

The look made it difficult for Evan to breathe.
