Stella lowered her eyes. “I love him very much... Without him, everything in this world would lose its splendor.”

“Then why did you help him explain everything to me?”

Stella’s tears fell down and her beautiful face became even more lovely because of her tears. “Because I love him too much. We can’t be together anymore. I want him to have a good life, to be happy, to have true happiness. We have tortured each other for too long. I hope that he can forget me and find new love.”

Isabella frowned slightly. “But ... but I heard that you abandoned him back then.”

Stella suddenly covered her face and cried.

Only then did Isabella notice that there was a ruby ring on Stella’s left pinky.

It was smaller than Joseph’s but had the same shape.

Isabella suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

.....

She looked down at her fingers. There was not a ring as a souvenir.

Joseph indeed loved Stella more.

Joseph only accepted Isabella’s imp ornament when she forced him to do so.

Stella was wailing in pain and Isabella suddenly sympathized with her. She handed a tissue to Stella. “Ms. Stella, calm down. Why don’t I call Joseph over?”

“No, no need.”

Stella hurriedly pulled Isabella back. “I don’t want him to know what happened today. If he knows about it, he will feel bad for a long time. I don’t want him to feel bad.”

Isabella thought for a moment and settled down on the chair again.

“I want to tell you a secret, Miss Isabella.”

Stella bit her lip. “I hope you can forgive Joseph after knowing this secret. But never tell Joseph about it, okay?”

Isabella nodded again.

Stella took the tissue from Isabella and wiped her tears. She calmed down a little. “What do you know about us?”

Isabella thought about it and said frankly, “You were childhood sweethearts. Grandpa didn’t approve of your marriage. Later, you left with another man and went to America.”

Stella nodded. “It is roughly so.”

Stella paused for a moment, immersed in the beautiful memory. “I am two years younger than Joseph. We have known each other since we were young. We were neighbors before the Wilson family and the Bell family held grudge against each other. It is said that when the nanny held the infant me to the courtyard, I giggled when I saw Joseph peeking at me through the fence. We played together as kids.”

“Joseph taught me to walk or read. Although he was only two years older, he understood much more than me. I was very dependent on him and admired him. At that time, he was only a small boy, but he was handsome and elegant. Many young girls liked him, but he was only good to me. He had started to love me when he was a child.

Stella’s happy face gave Isabella a feeling of being scratched by a cat.

“We went to middle school together. My eldest grandmother committed suicide due to depression. Master Wilson blamed her death on grandpa and grandma. Then, the two families broke up.”

Stella continued, “At that time, Joseph and I were in crazy love. We went to school together, learned drawing together and ate every meal together. I promised to be his beautiful bride one day and he will be my handsome husband...”

Stella’s tears flowed down. “He went to college and I was still in high school. We missed each other and often visited each other from time to time. We spent the weekend together eating ice cream and making love. I could not leave him at all. With him, I am filled with love and security...”

Isabella pinched her palms. She had guessed Joseph had sex before. But hearing Stella say that they had an intimate relationship was still torture to Isabella.

“Everything that happened later was as dramatic as TV series.”

Stella lowered her eyes and looked disappointed. “Our relationship was discovered by Master Wilson. He was furious. Joseph swore to marry me and rebelled against his grandfather’s will...”

“He was very tired back then. The pressure from his family and career emaciated him. But he continued comforting me and protecting me against the pressure.”

“We bought an apartment. We lived and ate together every day, afraid that we would be separated in the blink of an eye. As long as we were free, we would make love as if the intercourse could prove the linkage between our souls.”

“Later on, our credit cards were frozen, and Joseph worked hard to support our life...”

Isabella felt that she had never understood Joseph at all. Stella’s words and happy expression led to her jealous heart. She could not help but ask, “What about that man? Why did you leave with another man when you and Joseph were in deep love?”

Stella’s eyes dimmed in an instant and her face darkened. “This is the secret I want to tell you today. In everyone’s eyes, I abandoned Joseph and left with another man... But we loved each other so deeply for more than ten years. How could I fall in love with another man?”

“So you left with that man because you couldn’t bear it when Joseph had to work so hard.” Isabella thought for a moment, “Joseph guessed it. He said that you left your hometown for him. He owes it to you.”

Stella forced a smile and touched her forehead. “What did he guess? His guess was wrong. He only guessed a part of it.”

Isabella was stunned. “Then what does he not know?”

“I did find a man to deceive Joseph on purpose. I hope he gave up on me and stopped suffering.” Stella lowered her head, “But that man went back on his word. He didn’t only pretend to be my boyfriend but tried to possess me forever, so raped me.”

Isabella was completely stunned.

“That man is very powerful and ten years older than me. Compared to Joseph, he had established his career and all other resources. So Joseph would suffer if he fought against that man. So I lost all the hope and left with that man in despair.”

Stella covered her head with trembling hands, tears falling from her eyes. “But that man went too far. He sent the video of us on the bed to Joseph. Joseph went completely furious. His guilt changed into hatred for me.”
