Several beats passed before Stella replied simply, “No. Let’s dig in.”
She lowered her head and picked up the knife and fork again.
Her marriage to Maverick was a year old and they hadn’t even met before. Although she could understand why he wanted a divorce, she was pissed by his recent behavior.
He was dragging the divorce process longer than it was supposed to be. Worse still, he fabricated a silly excuse.
It angered Stella so much to think that he said she cheated on him.
Since they got legally married, her work took the front burner.
She came back to the country with the hope that she would get to know her husband better and start a new life with him.
She had never cheated on him.
There was a spike in Stella’s rage as she thought about Maverick.
She stabbed the piece of steak with her fork and cut through it even harder with the knife.

Matthew felt a stabbing pain in his heart as he watched her.
It dawned on him that Stella had a very bad impression of him, so much so that she didn’t want to talk about him.
He was at a loss what to do.
Sensing that Stella couldn’t be bothered about her husband and wanted to move on, Miley breathed a sigh of relief.
“That’s my girl! You are the prize. Maverick doesn’t deserve you, so dump him!”
Stella paused. She turned her head and gave Miley a warning look, signaling her to change the topic immediately.
Miley took the hint. Afraid that Stella would be mad at her, she moved on to talk about the beautiful sights she had witnessed during her business trip. Stella dropped a few remarks from time to time.

The chit-chat lightened up the atmosphere. There was harmony now.
In contrast, there was an ongoing storm inside Matthew. Their words sounded distant to him.
He stuffed his mouth with food as Stella’s response sometime back kept echoing in his mind.
Her tone was firm and without a trace of hesitation.
The meal seemed to end happily amidst Miley’s laughter.
They all walked out of the restaurant together. After saying goodbye to Matthew, Stella practically dragged her naughty friend away.
Matthew stared at their receding figures until they were out of sight.
