Ban said nothing.

Prepared for what?

For losing Stella forever?

He refused to prepare for that.

He would not accept it.

He was going to bring her back.

Felix soon received word that Evan’s people were already on their way to find Silas.

The soup at lunch had turned out well.

After watching Stella finish a bowl, Felix asked, “Do you like it?”

“It’s good. The chicken is cooked the way I like it too.”

The meat was a little firm.

Some people preferred chicken that was tender and juicy, but Stella liked it slightly tougher.

To her, that texture meant the chicken had been allowed to grow naturally for longer.

“If you like it, have some more,” Felix said.

“Everything will go according to plan this time, right?” Stella asked.

Felix had told her that everything would end in the Blackwater region.

The moment Evan and Aaron left that place, Stella would be completely dead to them.

They would never search for her again.

“Yes. Everything has been arranged.”

Felix’s people would arrive before either Aaron or Evan.

Stella said nothing more.

Felix parted his lips as though he wanted to say something, but he knew she did not want to hear anything from him right now.

So he swallowed the words.

He could wait.

For the rest of their lives, he would be the only person left in her world.

“How about fruit tarts this afternoon?” he asked.

Stella loved fruit tarts.

Ruan so she had always gone out to eat them by herself.

“Okay.”

She had not had one in a long time, not since returning to Eirden.

Aaron had learned most of her preferences well enough.

But he had never discovered the things she only ate when she went out alone.

“If they’re both going personally, won’t they suspect you if you don’t go too?” Stella asked.

Felix had just told her that Aaron and Evan were both heading to the Blackwater region themselves

Yet he was still here with her in Sima Mountain.

“I’ll leave tonight. My people have already gone ahead.”

Of course he had to make an appearance himself.

Otherwise, they might become suspicious.

The moment Stella heard that he would be leaving that night, a flicker of light crossed her eyes.

It lasted only an instant, but Felix caught it.

A smile curved his lips.

“You’re already planning how to escape me, aren’t you?”

No matter how carefully Stella tried to hide her thoughts, Felix knew what she was thinking.

Once everything with Evan and Aaron was settled, she would turn her attention to escaping him.

Stella did not respond.

“Stella, I brought you here because I never intended to let you leave.”

“Ivy has stayed beside Amos all these years. That’s why she’s safe. Do you understand?”

Stella looked at him.

“So you mean I’ll only be safe if I stay beside you forever?”

There was mockery in her voice.

Felix had intended to answer, but when he met her gaze, the words would not come.

“Amos has never hurt Ivy,” Stella said. “And Ivy has never wanted to leave him.”

Why had Ivy remained in Seaborne all these years?

Because she had never wanted to go anywhere else.

Felix was actually comparing himself to Amos and placing Stella in the same position as Ivy.

But their situations were nothing alike.

There were far too many differences between them.

And Stella and Felix would never become what Amos and Ivy were.
