Chapter 188 Hatred Born Out of Despair

After that, Miles went to Maple City, but of course, Stella wasn’t there. The house was devoid of life, as if informing him that Stella had left, and that he wasn’t to search for her. Sitting on the sofa, he smoked, and the heavy smoke soon shrouded his face.
With his eyes narrowed, he mulled over the situation. If Stella didn’t know the truth and could only suss out the situation based on the info that was revealed, she would have doubts, as well as question me if her grandfather really did that. Yet, she left without waiting for my explanation. The only possibility was that she had known the truth, which would only paint me as the villain upon making a comparison.
However, he didn’t know how she came to know the truth, nor did he understand how she could put up such a convincing facade after that. How deeply must she have loved and trusted me in order for her to forgive what the Grants did to her family? Nonetheless, the revelation of that document proved to be the final straw. When he reviewed his relationship with Stella, he realized things never progressed smoothly between them, and they were always met with hurdles. Might this be the workings of fate?
