Love After Divorce

Chapter 244: Stella couldnt help but laugh when she heard Kelly refer to Sophia as RKs mistress.

If Sophia ever found out, she would be furious.

Stella smiled but didnt say anything.

Kelly continued, Stella, let me tell you something.

When dealing with men, especially someone like Mr.

Kingston, you need to step up your game.

And look at how youre dressedits too plain! You need to be more feminine! Stella was speechless.

She was used to dressing simply.

She glanced down at her outfitjust her usual pajamas, and not even stylish ones, but cartoon pajamas.

She looked more like a student than anything else.

For now, she couldnt change her ways.

I dont want to dress like that, Stella refused.

Since she was young, she had always dressed plainly.

To be honest, even as a child, Sophias clothes were always prettier than hers.

Isabella loved dressing up Sophia, and David had always favored her as well.

He poured all his energy into Sophia.

As for Stella, she wore whatever she could and ate whatever she was given.

There were even times when Sophia would humiliate her by offering her old clothes.

Stella refused to wear them, and David and Isabella would scold her for being ungrateful, saying that her kind sister had left clothes for her, and she didnt appreciate it.

Those words wouldnt have mattered if they were truly sisters.

But everyone knew she and Sophia were far from close.

Stella couldnt bring herself to accept things thrown at her out of spite.

At first, David and Isabella would blame her, but fortunately, Tristan was there to ease the tension.

Still, Sophia often tried to create distance between Stella and David, knowing Tristan would always step in to help her.

Sophia changed her tactics, plotting behind the scenes to make sure Stella took the blame for many things.

Stella, I think youre too good-natured.

Thats why you end up suffering, Kelly said, concerned.

Back then, you didnt play the game right, and you ended up getting hurt.

Now, if youre not careful, RK might slip away! Kellys advice was genuine.

She wanted Stella to live a happy life, especially now that the situation was what it was.

She didnt want her friend to get hurt any further.

Stella pursed her lips, unsure how to respond.

She had tried to figure out how to keep RK, but she lacked the experience.

She had never been in a real relationship before.

RK… he could even be called her first love! How could she know how to play these games when she was still learning what love was? She didnt have the skills, nor the potential for manipulation.

Forget it, Stella said.

If hes meant to be mine, he will be.

If not, no matter how hard I try, it wont happen.

Ah, stop using those words to comfort yourself, Kelly said, exasperated.

Youre too soft! If Sophia comes back again or finds a way to be closer to RK, what will you do then? Stella was speechless.

Alright, alright! But dont come crying to me later if things go wrong, Kelly warned.

But hey, if you do lose him, at least Steven will be there to comfort you.

Maybe thatll be your silver lining! Kelly teased, clearly picturing the scene and smiling at the thought.

At the mention of Steven, Stella remembered she hadnt replied to his messages from the previous night.

By the way, Kelly, I need to go.

I havent replied to Steven yet from last night, Stella said.

Also… I need to find the right time to make things clear with him.

You know my situation with RK… its not appropriate for me to lead Steven on.

It wouldnt matter if she were single, but now, being married, it wasnt right for her to entertain any pursuers.

She didnt want Steven to get the wrong idea.

Ah? Youre really going to refuse Steven? Kelly asked, surprised.

Hes such a nice guy.

Are you really willing to turn him down? And lets be honest, theres bound to be problems with RK sooner or later.

With Sophia in the picture, youll have trouble ahead.

Why are you still pushing Steven away? Why hurt him? Let me tell you something, Kelly added.

Ever since the day you were taken away from the KTV, Steven has been searching for you everywhere! Hes clearly head over heels for you! If you give him a chance, Im sure hell treat you right in the future.

You have to seize the opportunity while you can! Kelly truly believed Steven was a good match for Stella and wished they could be together.

But for Stella, her current circumstances made it impossible.

With her marriage to RK, she wasnt free to pursue anything else.

Forget it, Stella said.

Im afraid that if RK finds out about Steven, hell get dragged into this mess.

Although the Tyler family was powerful, how could any man, especially one like RK, tolerate being made a fool of? Stella knew she had to settle things with Steven as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.
