Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 40:.
If Stella didn’t already know what was going on, she was sure that the words she had just spoken would lead others to
misinterpret her intentions with this man. Only she knew how fast her heart was beating at that moment....
It felt like it was going to burst out of her chest. It was the first time she had said something like that to a man, in a situation
where a man and a woman were alone in the same room in the middle of the night. Words like these... it’s hard not to be
misunderstood.
After speaking, Stella saw no movement from the man in front of her; it was as if he had not heard her. She knew her voice had
been soft, but not so soft that, in such a quiet room, he would not hear her.
So what was she trying to do?
Stella glared at the man in front of her and said more clearly, “Hurry up! Take off your pants. I’ll wash them for you. This damned
man, why did she have to repeat it before he started to move? She cursed him silently.
Rene Kingston raised his arm and looked at his injured right hand, saying, “I’m injured.... I can’t do it. I’m weak.” Those words
were as arrogant as they could be, but that man spoke in such a nonchalant tone.
It was as if now that he was injured, he had to treat him like a king. He could almost make someone die of rage!
They were in the car; why didn’t he mention that his hand was injured? When she was feeding him in the hospital, why didn’t she
say anything about his hand? Was his hand made of glass? Stella was furious.
However, his words sounded like those of a hooligan. Stella could do nothing except grit her teeth and say, “Then it’s okay....
I won’t wash them.” He replied in a threatening tone. Anyway, Stella knew how obsessed the president was with cleanliness; it
wouldn’t take long for him to compromise.
What’s more, she had already done everything she could to offer to wash for him. Now there was nothing more she could do. RK
raised an eyebrow and said, “So, you plan to make it up to him? That’s fine...
I don’t have any problem. I’ll deduct the money from your salary tomorrow.”
How could she think like that? She would have to work hard every day just to pay for her pair of pants. This bastard! He was

At first, Stella wanted to threaten the man, but now she was the one threatened by him. Stella was furious. “You... Don’t go too
far!”
When they were still married, this man used to harass her, but now, even after their divorce, he was still harassing her. He
harassed her in front of her grandmother, in front of everyone in the company, and now he was in her house, harassing her over
a pair of pants! That was not a man!
“Come here,” he completely ignored her words. RK immediately gave her the order, ignoring the angry woman in front of him.
Stella gritted her teeth and silently cursed him for being shameless.
He had pretended to be incapacitated in the hospital, making her feed him, and now, with dirty pants, he was still acting as if he
was helpless. This man was so shameless!
How could he treat a young girl like that? Stella didn’t move and stayed where she was. At that moment, she wanted to turn
around and leave, but she knew she couldn’t do that. She couldn’t afford to make the president unhappy.
If that happened, they would take money out of her paycheck, and she didn’t want that.
So, as unwilling as she was, Stella thought better of it and decided to let it go. She forced herself to obey. There was nothing to
be ashamed of. If he wasn’t ashamed, why should she be? Stella took a deep breath, walked over and held out her hand.
She lowered her head and blushed, not knowing where to look. Meanwhile, the man in front of her looked at her lazily, as if he
was used to being served by others. Stella gritted her teeth angrily. If it wasn’t because she couldn’t hit that man, she would have
done it long ago.
How could he be so shameless? Seeing that Stella hadn’t moved for a long time, RK looked at her and coldly ordered, “Why did
you stop? Go on...”
How... How could he be so calm? Didn’t the president know how to be ashamed?
“Well... You...” Stella lowered her head and said, “That.... You don’t think it’s inconvenient for me to help you?”
In the end, it was better for them to work things out between them. After all, they had been divorced for many years. Besides, he
was getting married to another woman next month. It was better for them to keep their distance.

“No, it isn’t.” Stella lowered her head, but the man’s long, slender fingers lifted her chin. Their eyes met.
“To a simple-minded person, there is no difference between a man and a woman. So why do you think so much, or is it that you
want to go back to the past?” Stella was speechless. This man... he shouldn’t be asking this, should he?
It was true that things had happened between them in the past, but it wasn’t wrong because at that time they were still legally
husband and wife. It was normal that kind of interaction between husband and wife.
But now... how could they be husband and wife? They had been divorced for a long time – this kind of thing was too intimate!
Stella said, “It was... all in the past. What’s more, aren’t you getting married to Sophia next month? I think you should pay more
attention to your identity.” Stella reminded him that the difference between their statuses was too strong.
Besides, she knew her limits. She knew that her heart always belonged to Sophia. And Sophia was her sister.
Although neither of them wanted to accept it since they were young, it was a truth that could not be changed. In other words,
after he married Sophia next month, he would become her nominal brother-in-law. Soon she would have to call her ex-husband
brother-in-law. Their relationship would become increasingly chaotic. Stella was even less willing.
“Getting married...” RK withdrew the hand holding her chin. He looked at her, parted his thin lips, and said, “Stella, you’re always
talking about my marriage. Are you jealous of Sophia Richards?”
Stella? Jealous of Sophia Richards? Stella felt that this man didn’t much care who his wife was. She thought that only those who
called her “Stella” were the people closest to her, the ones who cared about her and wanted the best for her.
One was her grandmother, and the other was Tristan. He thought that when RK called her that, it might have some special
meaning to him.
But she seemed to think too highly of herself. Stella pushed his hand away from her chin. “Don’t think too much. I don’t. Who
would be jealous of her?” Even though she couldn’t let go of this man in her heart, so what, he wasn’t going to marry Sophia?
“I didn’t always mention it.” RK’s hand, which had been pushed away, showed no anger at her words. Instead, he laughed, a
smile appearing in his blue eyes. But whether that smile was mocking or teasing was uncertain. Whichever way it was, it was
unsettling.

RK said, “Why did you stop?”. Stella didn’t know where to look. Her face was as red as an apple. If he noticed her blushing,
wouldn’t it become a joke to this man? Forget it! Since this man was so rude to her, there was nothing to worry about!
Stella took a deep breath and decided to put an end to this ordeal as soon as possible. She made up her mind. She closed her
eyes and pulled off RK’s pants, “Darling! What are you doing?”
