Three Years After They Abandoned Me novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179

Kevin, still clueless, asked, “Why take cold showers? Did they run out of hot water in their room or something? They could just call the front desk.”

Cavan shouted, “No.” “Why is he

To put it simply, they were in the same room, and Mr. Erwin got to suffer all night, he explained.

Kevin’s expression froze instantly.

Cavan kept rambling, “The whole situation between those two is kind of weird. You can tell Mr. Erwin loves Ms. Hayes, and Ms. Hayes cares about him. They’re married, sharing a room, so how come they just…”

Kevin frowned and said, “Stella still hasn’t recovered, so they c can’t… You know.”

Cavan didn’t get it at first, but then it slowly dawned on him. Kevin had told him that when Stella first came back, she was so thin and weak that she couldn’t even control her basic bodily needs.

So even though they were married, it was just not possible for them to be intimate right now.

‘Great, I was just trying to make Kevin feel better, but I might make him feel worse. I should always keep my mouth shut, Cavan thought.

Since Jordan’s condition wasn’t that serious, he didn’t need any special prescriptions. The doctor just gave him some simple medicine and said he’d recover quickly after taking it.

Stella finally breathed a sigh of relief. She tried to persuade Jordan to head home since nothing like that was going to keep happening here, but Jordan refused to leave. With Jordan staying, the two of them could be seen together everywhere.

Cavan looked at Kevin’s face and let out a sigh. He put a hand on Kevin’s shoulder. “Maybe it’s time to move on.”

Kevin’s eyes stayed fixed on Stella. “How could I give up? I like her. I wish I could be the one who stays by her side.

“But she’d rather choose someone she’s never even met in real life over me. Sometimes I wish we’d never even been friends. Maybe then I’d have had a shot.”

Cavan noticed the pain in Kevin’s eyes. He knew all too well how much Kevin loved Stella. But when love was one–sided, he couldn’t do anything but feel sorry for Kevin.

Jordan treated Stella well, but sometimes it was obvious he was putting on a show for Kevin, just to make him give up sooner. Watching the Tittle rivalry between them, Cavan thought Kevin was so miserable.

Surprisingly, Stella ran into Monroe again. After all that went down, Stella still treated him just like before, but Monroe couldn’t get that one nagging question out of his head. He blocked her way and asked, “Why did you say you saved me?”

Stella looked at him. “So, you’ve forgotten?”

Monroe stared at her, at a loss for words.

“Since you’ve already forgotten, just let it go. I’ll soon forget that I ever saved you, too, and we’ll be even,” Stella said.

“But at least let me know.”

“What’s the point in telling you if you’ve already forgotten?”

Monroe didn’t know how to reply.

“Mr. James, don’t you see I’ve got things to do? Let’s not get in each other’s way anymore,” Stella said, not bothering to be polite, She brushed right past him without any regard for his feelings.

Stella was busy with work, and Jordan didn’t follow her. He figured there was no need to get involved. But if she needed him, he’d be there

for her.

But Jordan headed off to another place. He’d noticed Monroe wanted to talk to him, so he decided to give him the opportunity. “You came to see me just to ask when Stella saved you?”

“Yeah, since you’re with her, she probably told you about it,” Monroe said.

“She did mention it to me last night, but I feel the same way she does about it. Since you’ve already forgotten, let’s just leave it in the past and not talk about it anymore.”

“But this matters to me,” Monroe blurted out, his voice full of urgency.

Jordan let out a soft chuckle. “If it means that much to you, how could you forget?”

That was another question that puzzled Monroe. “I honestly can’t remember. I don’t recall ever losing my memory. The only thing! remember is being saved by Anna–I don’t remember Stella ever saving me.

“After what happened yesterday, I asked Anna about it. She said she had no idea–never even heard of it. That’s why I’m so confused.”

Jordan just stared at him. His look was so strange that it made Monroe uncomfortable. “What’s up?”

“It’s nothing,” Jordan replied.

But Jordan’s reaction only made Monroe feel even more miserable. ‘It’s nothing? What’s that supposed to mean?‘ Monroe thought. He hated someone leaving him hanging like that. Monroe was at his wits‘ end, completely unsure of what to do.

Jordan didn’t want to keep the conversation going. He spotted Stella nearly stumbling as she walked down the path and hurried over to steady her.

Monroe just stared at their backs as they walked away, his heart all tangled up inside. ‘Why is there nobody to tell me the answer?‘ he thought with frustration.

When Kevin saw Stella stumble, he wanted to go over too, but he was just a step late. Watching Jordan reach out to steady Stella and seeing. the way she smiled up at him, Kevin felt his heart shatter.

He could feel that Stella was slowly starting to fall for Jordan. They lived together every day. Even if they didn’t see each other all the time, they still spent more time together than he and Stella ever did.

In a situation like that, it was natural for feelings to develop between them. If their marriage became the real thing, he’d have no shot at all.
