Three Years After They Abandoned Me novel Chapter 33

Henry tushed to catch up with Stella.

Fions and Andrew exchanged a knowing look, silently observing

Just before they reached Eleanor’s doo, Hoy stopped Stella. “I’m sorry” he said. “This is all my fault. I didn’t know you couldn’t eat in Įmorning 1 thought maybe you could have just a little, even if you weren’t hungry.

was going to order takeout, but the food out there isn’t healthy enough. So, I decided to make it myself for poni.

“Honestly, after we parted yesterday, I missed you so much that I just had to see you again. That’s why came up with this excuse. Please don’t be mad at me. If you don’t like it I promise I won’t do it again.”

Stella sighed in reliet “Come in with me.”

Inside the room, Eleanor stood up as they entered, but Henry gently stopped her. He said, “Eleanor, please stay seated. Your health comes first, and I’m just here to check on you,”

Eleanor glanced at Stella and said to Henry, “They brought me the breakfast you made. It was delicious. I’m so pleased you have such good cooking

Henry blushed slightly. “To be honest, I couldn’t cook before. But thinking about marrying Stella makes me so happy. I wanted to do something for her. I wasn’t sure what else I could do, so I decided to start by learning to cook.

Eleanor said, “That’s very thoughtful of you.”

Henry stole a glance at Stella. “I know how big the gap is between us, but I’m determined to bridge it. For Stella, I’d do anything

Eleanor nodded, and throughout the conversation, Henry did all the talking. Stella remained silent.

Soon, Henry excused himself, leaving Stella alone with Eleanor.

Eleanor’s eyes were soft and tender as she looked at Stella. “Stella, you don’t really want to marry him, do you? I know it’s a lot to ask of you. Just say the

word, and I’ll-”

“Grandma,” Stella interrupted Eleanor firmly. “I’m willing to

Eleanor studied Stella carefully, sensing that something was being hidden. She had asked, but Stella didn’t want to say. There was nothing more she could do. With a quiet sigh, Eleanor told herself to trust that this was the right choice for Stella.

Stella stepped out of Eleanor’s room and nearly bumped into Max

Apparently, Henry had already transferred 1 billion to Max, with over 3 billion more pending. These funds would only be released after Stella and Henry got married.

Stella thought, ‘Now that the company’s affairs are all settled, he’s got nothing better to do than keep an eye on me, right?”

Stella kept ignoring him, but Max trailed after her. He said, “Look, Henry may be a bit older, and he has a kid. He was widowed twice, but he’s truly devoted to you.

“Since his second wife passed, he hasn’t been with anyone else. With his wealth, he could have been with anyone, yet when our family was in trouble, he came to us first, Doesn’t it show how sincere he is?

“Forget about his age, looks, or height. What matters is he genuinely loves you and will cherish you for the rest of his ”

Stella stopped and turned to face him. “Max, doesn’t this whole situation seem suspicious to you??

Max blinked, caught off guard. “Suspicious? What do you mean?”

“You admitted it yourself, stella said. “He came in our family right after the crisis. Don’t you think he might have ulterior motivest

Max scoffed. “You’re being too cynical. What ulterior motive could he have?”

Stella gave a cold laugh. “Motives? There are plenty, Mr. Hayes. If you can’t see that, you’re asking for trouble”

Max said, “Stella, we only want what’s best for you. Why are you so ungatefull Do you really think you’ll find anyone who treats you better than Henry does?

Stella, who had started walking away, suddenly stopped and turned around to face Max. She locked eyes with him. “Max, in your eyes, I must be utterly disgusting, right?”

Max froze, visibly shocked again.

“Exactly,” Stella continued, her voice sharp. “Forget about those people who refuse to believe I wasn’t gang–raped. Even though you personally heard the doctor confirm it, you still wouldn’t believe me.

“To you, a woman like me, who’s supposedly slept with countless men, should feel lucky that anyone would want me. But instead, f being picky about everything. You think I’m wrong, don’t you?”

| Eleanor away whenever I want. As for the

“Max, I’ve already agreed to marry Henry. What I choose to do is my business. Stop bothering me, or I’ll take Ela rest of you, do whatever the hell you want

Stella returned to her room, waiting for Martin to arrive for her treatment.

She wasn’t worried. She knew he would show up. The Hayes family relied on him to help her recover, mainly so they could parade her around for the media and boast about how well they’d taken care of her. How hypocritical.

After the acupuncture session, Martin stared at Stella in surprise. “You’re recovering for quicker than I expected. Have you been following all my instructions!”

“Yes, I walk as much as I can every day. if i get too tired, I take a break.”

Stella nodded. “Yes, I

Martin said, “That’s excellent. With your dedication, I believe you’ll make significant progress in three months. But about your rheumatism…

Stella knew it wouldn’t be cured overnight. “I’ve learned to live with it. Thank you, Dr. Dewitt.”

In just a few days, Martin had become quite fond of Stella. Smiling warmly, he assured her, “Don’t worry, Stella. I believe you’ll work a miracle.”

A miracle? Stella thought for a moment. “Maybe it’s just about defying fate. Even if it doesn’t end well, at least I’ll have tried!

Once Martin left, Stella checked her laptop. Jordan had mentioned some company matters that needed her attention, so she wanted to review them. But first, she decided to grab a glass of water.

She went downstairs. As she turned to go back up, Anna suddenly clamped her hand over her nose. “Ugh, what is that smell? Mary, come here. Did you forget to clean the bathroom?”

Mary hurried out of the first floor storage room, looking puzzled. “What’s wrong? just cleaned the bathroom.”
