"The entire wealthy circle in Seattle knew how much Stella Carlson loved Aaron Malone. People watched the childhood sweethearts grow from inexperience to maturity, finally getting married in a grand wedding ceremony.

On the day of the wedding, despite the alliance between the Carlson and Malone families, the groom ran away. Stella knew that Aaron had rushed to L.A. to take care of his ex-girlfriend, who had attempted suicide.

Unwilling to become the laughingstock of all Seattle, she gritted her teeth and dialed the number of her adversary, her tone almost commanding, "Ethan, come and marry me now. This is your only chance for revenge."

On the other end, Ethan Powers raised an eyebrow as he gripped his phone, staring at the floor littered with cigarette butts. "Did the groom run away?" he asked. "My darling."

Stella didn't understand why Ethan suddenly praised her. After some thought, she figured it might be because he noticed she wasn't in a good mood, so he tried to comfort her. However, being comforted by him was quite rare.


Meeting his casual and smiling gaze, Stella felt both amused and annoyed. She smiled and replied, "Thanks for your kind words. Hopefully, my taste will get better in the future."


After a brief pause, she recalled the scene just now and furrowed her brows, adding, "It seems like every time I encounter Aaron, you show up quickly."


The man glanced at her and said in a nonchalant tone, "Is that so?"


Then, with a hint of implication, he added, "I must keep an eye on you to prevent you from straying off the path."


Stella choked up slightly, feeling that he was subtly referring to her being entangled with Aaron again today.


"Don't worry, as long as there's no divorce, I will cherish your pride," she retorted, a bit displeased.
