The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1840

As Haynes was about to say more, Stella seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up.

She saw Joshua standing by the second-floor railing.

His eyes were as dark as ink, their color deep and heavy. He stood there silently, and she had no idea how long he had been watching.

Her attention was drawn to him. "Joshua, are you finished talking with Harold?"

Joshua acknowledged her with a sound and slowly descended the stairs.

"Yes, we're done."

Soon, he was beside Stella. He naturally wrapped an arm around her waist, gently pulling her into his embrace.

Stella was taken aback for a moment but didn't pull away.

Joshua looked at Haynes and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help these past few days, Mr. O'Brien."

Haynes raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything deliberately to provoke Joshua.

"I should be the one thanking you for saving Keen."

Stella still had many questions for Joshua. Seeing the situation, she said to Haynes, "You should head back. Joshua and I will go see Keen tomorrow."

Haynes didn't linger. "Alright, I'll be leaving then."

As he walked out of the villa, he saw Laurel Quinn standing outside, having just finished a phone call.

Laurel Quinn wasn't familiar with Haynes. She just gave him a polite nod and was about to go back inside the villa.

Haynes stopped her. "Ms. Quinn."

Laurel Quinn turned to look at him. "Is there something I can help you with, Mr. O'Brien?"

Haynes asked, "Is Joshua okay?"

Laurel Quinn knew that Haynes had overheard what she said when he and Stella first arrived.
