The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1394

The next day, Stella opened her email and was surprised to find another message from 'L.'

She assumed it was another painting he wanted to share, but when she opened it, she found only a single question.

"Is being drawn to strength right or wrong?"

Stella thought for a moment before typing her reply: "Between ugliness and beauty, human instinct chooses beauty. Between an exceptional partner and an ordinary one, most people will choose the former. At its core, being drawn to strength is just the pursuit of something better. There's nothing inherently wrong with it."

L must have been at his computer, because a reply came back almost immediately.

"What if the strong person you admire is no longer strong? Can you just abandon them without guilt and pursue someone else who is?"

From the words on the screen, Stella sensed confusion and uncertainty. She guessed that L was facing a major life decision.

She replied: "People who reach the summit will inevitably experience the fall. The admiration in 'admiring the strong' implies affection. If you abandon someone simply because they've lost their power and immediately move on to the next powerful person, that's not admiring strength. That's just being opportunistic and fickle."

This time, the reply took much longer.
