Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 885

“Afraid?”

Aaron looked almost amused by the word.

Fear had never had a place in his world.

But only for a moment.

Because Aaron quickly realized that this time, he truly was afraid.

That person was not someone to be taken lightly.

Aaron had seen firsthand just how impossible it could be to guard against him.

Before he could answer, Stella continued, “What exactly does Summer mean to you?”

Aaron trusted Felix completely.

But would that trust alone make him side with Felix over Summer?

Stella did not believe it was that simple.

“What could she possibly mean to me?” Aaron asked.

Stella gave a cold laugh.

“Nothing at all?”

“Stella.”

“I must have been out of my mind to think coming home to Eirden would finally free me from all the trouble in Harbor City.”

Instead, this family had brought her even more problems.

And far more secrets she could not understand.

Her voice was filled with disappointment.

She had only been home for such a short time, yet she had already lost all faith in this family.

Aaron paused.

He realized his tone had been too harsh.

And then there was Gray.

Under normal circumstances, punishing Gray for disobeying him might have been perfectly reasonable.

But Gray had been assigned to Stella for some time now.

Punishing him under these circumstances would inevitably make her suspicious, especially with everything else happening around her.

Aaron sighed.

“I was wrong, all right?”

Stella said nothing.

“I won’t remove Gray from your side. You can still have him handle whatever you need.”

“There’s no need.”

The quiet finality in her voice made Aaron’s chest tighten.

“Stella.”

“Yara wants to leave Eirden. Can you help her?”

Stella said nothing.

Exhaustion filled her eyes.

“You don’t have any issues with her, do you?” Evan asked.

“We don’t have any issues, but we were never close.”

When the entire Wright family had disliked Stella, Yara had at least never joined them in kicking her while she was down.

Sometimes, she had even spoken up for Stella in front of Dora.

But now, Stella did not consider any of that enough to count as a debt she owed.

And she had no desire to spend her energy helping Yara because of it.

“Your brother is a bastard,” Evan said.

Yara had never told him exactly why she was trapped in Eirden.

Now that he knew Aaron was responsible, Evan was furious.

Stella gave a tired laugh.

“Aren’t you all?”

Her voice was weak and drained.

The exhaustion in it was impossible to miss.
