The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 537

He was an exceptionally handsome man.

Every man who ever lingered around Stella was, without exception, easy on the eyes.

Even Jasper, who was not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, had strikingly good features.

Let’s not even mention Neville, Antoney, and the others—their looks were all easily a nine out of ten.

Then there were her three brothers from the Williams family, each one more distinguished and charming than the next.

Yet the man before her now—he outshone them all, perhaps even Haynes himself.

Looking back, it had been all too easy for Stella to fall for Haynes.

Partly, it was because he had known about her pregnancy and hadn’t hesitated to step up, taking responsibility and even standing up to his own family for her sake. Haynes had seemed the very picture of a dependable man.

But if she was being honest, it was Haynes’s impossibly attractive face that truly made him hard to resist.

Otherwise, Rachel would never have spun such a wild web of lies, or been willing to play the other woman just to steal him away.

Stella gave the man a polite, apologetic nod before making her way out.

As she turned the corner, she caught a glimpse of his tall, slim figure striding purposefully down the hall.

A flicker of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

Who was he?

Was he here for Mr. Burton’s birthday dinner too?

She was sure she hadn’t seen him among the guests earlier.

But the thought vanished as quickly as it came, and Stella pushed it to the back of her mind.
