The three of them exchanged glances, but none of them said a word to her.
Confusion clouded Stella’s face.
“Guys, what’s wrong? Is there something I need to know? Out with it!”
Three pairs of shoulders fell at the same time. The pitiful look in their eyes intensified.
At last, Miley spoke up.
“Stella…” She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Maverick said he wants to divorce you.”

The moment she finished speaking, she lowered her head as she couldn’t bear to see Stella’s reaction to that bombshell.
“What?” Stella thought her hearing got messed up after she had too much to drink.
“What did you just say?”
Biting her lip, Miley turned to Oliver and Juliette in an unspoken gesture for them to explain.
But the couple chickened out by turning their heads away with unreadable expressions.
Miley glared at them. Afterward, she told Stella how it all happened.
“Oliver answered the call since you were asleep.” Miley pointed at Oliver.

“Then, Maverick said you two will have to meet tomorrow evening to discuss the divorce proceedings. As for the meet-up point, he said that will be communicated via text.”
Stella pressed her swollen temples as she listened to all that Miley was saying. She realized it wasn’t an illusion.
Finally, she raised her head and looked at Oliver.
“Did he say why?”
She and Matthew were yet to meet, so it was strange he wanted a divorce.
There must be a reasonable explanation for his sudden decision.
Oliver shook his head “No. He hung up the phone as soon as he said he wanted to divorce.”
Stella rested her banging head on the headboard. Her temples continued to throb as she stared at the space in front of her in a daze.
Miley scuttled over and put her arm over Stella’s shoulders.
“Don’t think about it too much, Ella. Divorce is not the end of the world.
Maverick doesn’t know he’s stupidly letting go of an excellent and charming woman.”
