The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1343

Stella thought of all the injustices she had suffered at Rachel's hands, how Haynes had constantly used his own sense of guilt to make her endure and compromise. She knew that feeling all too well. She had sworn to herself she would never become another Haynes.

But Joshua's response left her confused.

"You don't feel wronged?" she asked.

A small smile touched his lips. "Star, I don't feel wronged at all. Conceding something for someone unworthy—that's what feels wrong. But if the person is worth it, I'd willingly give my life."

He paused, then added, "Star, from now on, you don't owe Foreman anything, okay?"

Stella's eyes began to burn, a lump forming in her throat. Foreman had been good to her, had helped her immensely. But to repay that kindness with Joshua's near-death experience was fundamentally unfair to him. Joshua was always like this. Whether it was with Keen or Foreman, he never put her in a difficult position.

She looked down into his calm, deep eyes. "And what about you?"

"Me?" Joshua asked.

"All the debts I owe you," she said. "How can I ever repay them?"

He smiled. "I just told you. Everything I do for you, I do willingly. And when something is done willingly, there are no debts or favors."
