Ben’s sincere tone made it difficult for Sue to refuse, but since Stella was the one hosting, it wasn’t appropriate for her to make the decision alone.
Sue gave an awkward laugh and turned to Stella, making a face.
Stella raised an eyebrow suspiciously, "?"
Sue mouthed, "Ben wants to crash our dinner."
Stella’s face grew even more puzzled, "??"
It wasn’t that Stella minded Ben joining them; after all, in her heart, she considered him a benefactor who had helped her before.
She was just curious why he suddenly wanted to co over for dinner.
Especially since earlier at the police station entrance, he seed to be avoiding her.
Sue still had her phone in hand and couldn’t speak openly for fear Ben would overhear, so she handed the phone to Stella for them to talk directly.
Stella took the phone and spoke calmly, "Mr. Lawson."
Hearing Stella’s voice, Ben was montarily stunned, then moved the phone from his ear and put it on speaker, "Is everything settled at the police station?"
Stella replied, "Yes, it’s just been handled."
Ben didn’t directly ask Stella what happened on the phone, not because he was afraid she wouldn’t say, but to deliberately pique Silas’s curiosity, "Are you free? I heard from Sue that you guys are having a barbecue tonight. I’ll buy the ingredients, and you prepare the al."
Of course, Stella couldn’t let Ben buy anything, so she responded, "My cooking isn’t very good, but if you don’t mind, co over. I’ll get the ingredients; I can’t have you spending money."
Ben chuckled, "I can’t co empty-handed."
Stella, "I’ve already owed you a lot of favors."
Since Stella put it that way, Ben couldn’t insist, so he lightly agreed, "I’ll bring so drinks then."
Stella smiled softly, "Okay, I’ll send you the address in a bit."
After hanging up, Stella sent the address to Ben.
Sue approached when she saw this, "Is Ben really coming to crash the dinner?"
Stella nodded, "Yeah."
Sue was perplexed, "Why so sudden?"
Stella also couldn’t figure out the answer to Sue’s question.
After thinking for a mont, Stella looked down at Sue and teased her, "Maybe he regrets waiving your transportation fee?"
Hearing that, Sue shivered and stamred, "No, he wouldn’t, right?"
Stella smiled with her eyes, "You never know."
Sue swallowed, "Maybe I, I won’t co over for dinner today. Instead, another day..."
Thinking about the four or five million paynt, Sue stamred and couldn’t finish a sentence.
Seeing that she was genuinely scared, Stella gently flicked her forehead, "Did you really believe that?"
Realizing she had been teased, Sue lunged, pretending to scratch Stella.
Laughing, Stella blocked her with her hand, "Don’t touch , it’s dirty."
Sue pulled back her hand and wiped it, "Black dog blood might save your life."
Stella, "That’s a blessing in disguise."
Sue, "Misfortune lurks within fortune, fortune concealed within misfortune."
Laughing, the two got ready to get in the car. Just as Stella touched the car door, a familiar male voice called from behind, "Stella."
It was Flynn.
Upon hearing his voice, Stella frowned, and Sue’s face looked even more displeased than hers.
The two turned around together as Flynn quickly approached.
Without the ’Vice President Shepherd’ aura, Flynn looked utterly disheveled.
The once impeccably pressed suit was now wrinkled, and his chin was covered with unkempt stubble.
The once ambitious young man had beco a diocre person, unsuccessful in both career and love.
"Stella, my mom was wrong today; I’ll make her apologize to you later."
As Flynn spoke, he guiltily took out a pack of tissues, attempting to wipe Stella’s face.
Stella stepped back two paces, her back against the car door, "No need."
Seeing Stella avoiding him, Flynn clenched the tissues in his hand, and after about seven or eight seconds, he stepped forward, bypassing Sue, and whispered resentfully so that only they could hear, "That lover of yours is Silas, isn’t he? Acting pure and chaste in front of , saying you must wait until after marriage to sleep together. With Silas, you don’t even need a room; you go straight to car intercourse?"
