The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 517

Chapter 517 Caught in the Act

Stella jumped in shock, and Abraham immediately let go of her. As she stumbled back, she nearly fell to the floor.

Abraham moved fast and caught her back into his arms. “Still so careless?”

Marie was standing at the doorway, covering her eyes and apologizing frantically. “Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to!”

Stella’s face was already blushing. She buried herself in Abraham’s arms and refused to come out.

Feeling her embarrassment, Abraham narrowed his eyes at Marie, voice cold. “Then why aren’t you gone yet?”

Marie stammered. “Oh–right, I’ll go now, I’m going, just… seriously, if you two wanna do that stuff, can’t you stay in your room? What, am I not supposed to have eyes?!”

She spun around, still covering her face–and immediately slammed into the wall.

“Ugh!” she groaned, the impact clear as a thud.

Just hearing the sound made Stella wince. It sounded painful.

She tried to pull away from Abraham to go check on her, but he held her tight against his chest.

“Marie might’ve fallen-”

“She’s fine. That’s normal for her.”

That was his sister…

But Abraham wasn’t wrong either. Marie basically lived on the training grounds.

A fall like that was nothing to her.

When she was actually training, she was either beating someone black and blue or getting the crap beaten out of her.

Even with her back turned, Marie could feel the sugar overload from their conversation. Gross. She quickly made her escape.

Still nestled in Abraham’s arms, Stella squirmed in protest. “Don’t do that next time.”

Her cheeks were visibly overheated.

Abraham chuckled. “Don’t do what?”

Stella replied, “When there are other people around.”

“There are people everywhere in this house.”

Stella: “.” You just can’t reason with this man.

Abraham had originally planned to stay and watch Stella try on wedding dresses. But then a call came in from Abel.

Whatever was said on the phone, it clearly wasn’t good–Abraham’s face turned cold and serious.

After he hung up, he hid the sharpness in his eyes and smiled gently at Stella. “Make sure you take lots of photos.”

“Okay.”

She nodded sweetly, not asking any questions.

Abraham helped her sit back down, placed a kiss on her forehead, and left without teasing her any further.

As he turned around, his eyes were laced with icy intensity.

Outside the door-

3:44

Marie had just picked up a call. She was originally heading back to her room, but Derrick’s number popped up.

This bastard can’t actually be serious, right?

Sure, she’d wanted to mess with him a bit. Since he was always interfering with Stella and Abraham, she figured she’d screw with him right back–make it look like she was ready for a second marriage just to tick him off.

But now Derrick wouldn’t let it go…
