The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1383

It was true that Stella was good to the people around her, but her kindness toward Joshua seemed to go above and beyond, blurring the lines of friendship.

After chatting for a few minutes, Lauretta was called away. It was her family's gala, and with the engagement announcement looming, she was incredibly busy.

A short while later, Stella saw Mr. Burton arrive with Sellers, Aurora gliding gracefully by his side. Seeing Mr. Burton, Stella immediately went to greet him. "Mr. Burton, welcome."

Mr. Burton glanced at Joshua. "Looks like the boy's recovered well."

Joshua smiled. "It's all thanks to you, Mr. Burton, that I healed so quickly."

Sellers, standing beside Mr. Burton, let a flash of coldness cross his eyes, but he was disciplined enough to hide his hostility. He remained silent, showing no intention of greeting them.

It was Aurora who spoke up with a smile. "Ms. Cameron. Joshua."

Stella nodded politely, but Joshua raised an eyebrow in feigned surprise. "Oh? Ms. Williams, why are you with Mr. Burton tonight? Where's Leonard? I saw you two together quite often recently. Didn't he come with you?"

Joshua's attempt to stir trouble was hardly subtle, but it struck a nerve with Aurora, filling her with a stifled anger. To think he would try such a cheap trick in public, right in front of everyone.
