Chapter 1491

Jimmy's wife, Paige Duncan, and Frazer's wife, Gloria Tucker, said in unison, "What nonsense are you talking about?"Paige looked at Lucas before looking at Gloria, seemingly starting to believe it to some extent."Paige, don't listen to his nonsense." A hint of guilt showed in Gloria's eyes, but she remained unyielding. "We don't even know where this man came from. How can he just simply talk nonsense?"Lucas responded, "All of you can talk nonsense, so why can't I?"Gloria replied, "We're women, and you're a man..."Lucas said, "Just because you're a woman doesn't mean you can talk nonsense. You can only speak for yourself, not for all women. My mother-in-law and Stella never gossip about you all."Gloria responded, "If it wasn't them who told you, how do you, an outsider, know our names?"Lucas replied, "If you want to keep something a secret, it's best not to do it in the first place."Actually, when he had just arrived at the village entrance, he overheard two men chatting

Lucas said, "Dad, I've talked a lot. Can I come in for a glass of water?"Mitch was a soft-hearted person, and Lucas had just given him a big help, so he had no reason to reject him. "Come in."Mitch went into the house before Lucas. He wanted to brew a pot of good tea to welcome his former son-in-law. The best tea he had at home was jasmine tea. He was not sure if Lucas would like it. "We only have jasmine tea at home. Do you want some?"Lucas did not like tea like this which had a strong fragrance. But he could not be picky as he was in his ex-father-in-law's home. "I'm fine with anything."Mitch immediately boiled some water and brewed a pot of tea before pouring a cup of it for Lucas. "Thank you for speaking up for Stella just now."Lucas responded, "Stella is my wife. Defending her is the least I can do."Mitch replied, "You two are divorced. She's no longer your wife. You do know that Stella least wants to see you now. So, after you finish drinking your tea, you should leav

Growing up, Grace had taught Stella not to simply accept things from others.Stella was not very close to these people. So, she did not want to accept their things. "I appreciate your kindness, but you guys can take back your things. My dad bought me a lot of supplements, enough for me to eat for a long time."Paige responded, "The supplements aren't as nutritious as our own raised chickens. City people nowadays love to eat our local chickens, but they can't buy them. Just accept them."Stella insisted, "It's really fine!"But everyone ignored her and placed everything they brought in the yard. "Just accept them. We're all Dawsons, we're family. You don't need to be so polite with us."Stella replied, "Paige, it's really fine."She could not resist the group of people's enthusiasm."What are you all doing here?"It was the village leader's voice. He was also one of the people responsible for receiving Lucas today.They were showing Lucas around. Originally, they did not plan t

Stella's legs had not fully recovered. She walked quickly, and her legs were so painful that she almost fell. She grabbed onto a stone table nearby for support.Lucas swiftly ran to her side and reached out to support her. "Stella, when have you become so stubborn?"He was a little angry because she had almost fallen just now. 'She's well aware of her legs' injury but still acted so willfully. It was like she was asking for trouble.'Stella shook off his hand. "Mr. White, please don't touch me!"The person in charge and the others heard Lucas and Stella arguing. They stopped walking toward them as they knew it might not be appropriate to approach them now.The person in charge immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to step back. He knew they should not listen to Lucas and Stella's conversation.Lucas was angry. Without saying a word, he lifted Stella around the waist and carried her back to her room on the second floor. "Lie down on the bed to rest now. I'll call for a doc

Stella did not want to hear Lucas's apologies. "Please leave immediately. My boyfriend is about to arrive. I don't want him to misunderstand that there's some inappropriate relationship between us."Lucas's voice hardened. "What boyfriend?"As soon as he asked that, a pleasant male's voice could be heard from downstairs. "Stella, Stella... Is this your home?"It was Ronan's voice.Three days after Stella woke up, Ronan had texted her on WhatsApp, asking her about her health. They occasionally chatted.Yesterday, when she returned to her hometown, she informed Ronan about it.He mentioned he happened to be working on a project nearby and planned to visit her today.Stella immediately recognized his voice. "Ronan, this is my home. The gate isn't locked. You can just come in. I'm on the second floor."Stella struggled, attempting to get off her bed to greet Ronan.Lucas firmly pressed her down, preventing her from getting out of bed. "Are you still in touch with Ronan?"Stella p

Lucas continued thinking, 'How can Ronan address Stella like that?'He, extremely displeased, maintained a smile. "Mr. McKinney, didn't your parents teach you how to address someone else's wife?"Ronan smiled as he said, "Mr. White, you two are already divorced. You're no longer married, so she's no longer your wife. Calling her your wife in front of me, her boyfriend, isn't it appropriate?"Lucas responded, "She's mine."Ronan countered, "She's yours? She's an individual, not an object. She belongs only to herself."Lucas insisted, "She's my wife."Ronan questioned, "She's your wife? Is your divorce decree fake?"The conversation between the two was very tense; if it escalated into a physical confrontation, it would be bad.Stella cleared her throat.Ronan immediately looked at her, who had been ignored by them. "Stella, why is he bothering you again?"Stella pursed her bleeding, busted lips caused by Lucas. "Could you please ask him to leave? If he doesn't, we'll call the p

Stella did not want to stay on this topic. "Once we're out of the yard, you can put me down."Ronan asked, "Stella, what are you worried about?"Stella responded, "What's there to worry about? I can walk on my own. Why should I let you keep on carrying me?"Ronan said, "If I put you down now, Lucas will think there's still hope for him. Let me continue carrying you to completely eliminate his hopes."Stella pondered before saying, "Sure."Ronan said, "Which way? You guide me."Stella explained, "Once we're out of the yard, turn right, walk down a small path, and you'll reach the riverside. When my dad is free, he loves fishing by the river. Even if he doesn't catch anything, he can sit by the river all day.""He's quite patient. Patient people tend to have a greater chance of success in what they do.""My dad isn't ambitious. He listens to my mom in everything. He's been a nice person all his life, but yesterday he quarreled with the villagers because of me."Ronan asked, "Wha

Ronan said, "But there are no 'ifs' in life."Stella responded, "Exactly. From the moment I met Lucas, my life may have been destined to be this way.""What are your plans for the future? Will you go back to acting?"Stella shook her head. "I'm not sure."Ronan said, "That jerk, Lucas, followed us."Stella asked, "You're a man, can you tell me what he's thinking? Why, after our divorce, is he still clinging to me?"Ronan responded, "Maybe he truly likes you."Stella did not believe that Lucas truly loved her. "Tell me the truth."Ronan replied, "I really can't think of any other reason that'd make a man cling to you to this extent."Stella did not respond. 'If it's love, it should be like how Nathan treats Abigail. Lucas said I wasn't worthy of having his child, how could he truly love me?'Ronan added, "It might also be an obsession. The more you reject him, the more he wants to have you. It's like when you fancy a certain product; if you don't get it, you'll keep thinking a

Ronan asked, "Are you talking about Lucas coming to invest?"Stella nodded and frustratedly said, "I'm not sure if his investment here is good or bad for the locals here."Ronan responded, "We live in the big cities. When we occasionally come to places like this, everything seems good. We may even feel that the air here is better than in the city, hoping nothing here will change."But if there's no development here, the locals here can't move forward. They won't have any income other than from farming. More and more people will leave."Population loss, especially a large-scale one, isn't good for any place. Lucas's investment in tourism development here can attract tourists from other places, increasing the income of the local people. For most people, it's actually a good thing."Stella lifted her head and glanced around. "I hope so."Behind them were green mountains, and in front, there was a river. Their small village was located between the green mountains and a river.At dus

Stella said, "The water of this river comes from the melted snow of the snowy mountains. The water quality is good, and the fish in the river are wild and healthy. The fish have a mild fishy taste, and the meat is delicious. My dad said that selling them can fetch nearly a hundred dollars per pound. If you don't eat it tonight, you'll definitely regret it in the future."Ronan was born into a wealthy family and had tasted all kinds of delicacies. However, he still went along with Stella. "I'm almost drooling listening to you. I'll stay for dinner then, to anger Lucas."Speaking of Lucas, Stella glanced to the left from the corner of her eye and saw Lucas standing still like a statue.She could not understand how Lucas could endure her treating him so indifferently.She thought, 'The Lucas that I knew back then wasn't so humble. Whatever, I'm just going to ignore him.'"Ronan, can you help me up?" Stella asked.Ronan immediately reached out and helped her stand up. "Do you want to
