Stella was stunned for a moment. Maybe it fell by accident. Youre overthinking it, she said.
Miley was adamant. I think she did it on purpose. Either shes challenging you, or shes testing you. If you find it and show that you dont care, she might leave something even more personal in the living room next time.
Stella fell silent, contemplating Mileys words.
Why dont you think about it again? Even if she left the Lipstick in the Living room, why was it on the sofa and not on the floor or somewhere else? Miley pressed on, her tone serious. Take my words seriously.
Stella didnt respond.
Miley wasnt sure if Stella was listening, but she continued, And have you considered this? Lindsay is an adult woman. If you go on a business trip or back to Bysea, shell be alone in the house with Matthew. Who knows what could happen? Theyre not even related by blood.

, but Mileys words made her uneasy.
On one hand, she thought Miley might be overthinking it, but on the other hand, she couldnt shake that unsettling feeling.
Miley persisted, Maybe Im too suspicious, but where theres smoke, theres fire. The last scandal didnt come out of nowhere. If you think this woman has no intentions toward your husband, I dont believe it.
Stella lowered her head, lost in thought.
Miley added, I sincerely advise you to be more vigilant. Its not wrong to be cautious. If something were to happen, it would be too late to regret.
Mileys serious tone left Stella deep in contemplation.
As they were talking, Lindsay entered the living room.
She had been at the Clark family residence with Lucia the previous night and was just returning.
Noticing another person with Stella, Lindsay asked in surprise, Stella, is she your friend?
Stella snapped out of her thoughts and introduced them. Yes, this is my best friend, Miley Cullen.
She then introduced Lindsay to Miley.
Dont you need to go to work today? Stella asked Lindsay.
Lindsay smiled. I took a leave from Matthew. Im planning to move out.
Stella and Miley appeared uncomfortable.
Stella regained her composure first. You seem comfortable here. Whats making you want to move all of a sudden?
