The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1431

Joshua was silent for a few seconds. "I'm not afraid she won't forgive me. I just don't want her to refuse my help after she finds out the truth.

At that point, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay by her side anymore."

Harold was slightly taken aback.

Joshua had always been a man who took responsibility for his actions, yet he had never shown any intention of coming clean about Rachel.

Harold had assumed it was because his love was so deep that he was plagued by the fear of losing her.

He had never imagined this was the reason.

Forgiveness and harboring resentment were two different things.

The more Stella trusted Joshua, the harder it would be for her to accept the truth when that day came.

It was a double-edged sword.

Although Stella had endured a great deal of pain and disaster, even when her hand was ruined, she had never been as broken and desperate as when she encountered Rachel.

When her hand was destroyed, she bounced back quickly because she could see light and hope.

But Rachel's appearance was a darkness with no end in sight.

Back then, if Neville Connolly hadn't shown up and pulled her out, Stella might very well have plunged into a bottomless abyss.

If Stella knew the truth, she might choose to forgive Joshua because of how much he had helped her.

But could she truly have no resentment toward the man who had altered the course of her life?

If this person were Aurora, she would undoubtedly get along with Joshua without any hard feelings. But she wasn't Aurora; she was Stella.

She valued emotions far more than benefits.
