Now They Want My Forgiveness - Chapter 311: Chapter 311

"Of course, I had to let him know right away. I couldn't be sure if something else might happen to you. He came, so I guess he passed the test.
"But if he hadn't, there's no way I'd trust him to be a good husband."
Jordan pulled Stella into his arms, holding her close. "Relax. My woman is mine to cherish—no one else will ever get a chance."
No matter how he tried to hide it, Kevin couldn't help feeling a little hurt. But since there was nothing left to do, he said, "Alright, I'll head out first. Don't stay out too late, okay?" Then he and Cavan left together.
Cavan glanced back. He'd seen Jordan in the news before—this guy was a legend, especially in Seavale, where the competition was fierce.
He made a name for himself so quickly, which was no small feat. He didn't even get a chance to say hi. But he saw sadness in Kevin's eyes, so he had to leave with him.
Stella's two employees also found an excuse to slip away and head back to the hotel.
Stella asked with concern, "Have you eaten yet?"
"I grabbed a bite on the plane," Jordan replied.
"Are you hungry now? If you want to eat something, I can look for a place nearby with you."
Jordan took her hand. "You didn't eat much either, did you? All right, let's go find something to eat together."
There weren't many buildings around—just a bunch of seasoning factories that all closed early. Fortunately, they managed to find a little hole-in-the-wall place nearby and grabbed a seat.
Stella hadn't eaten much, so she ordered a few simple dishes, and the two of them shared the meal.
"Did Monroe save you?" Jordan asked.
Stella nodded. "Yeah, it's so weird. There's definitely something up with that."
"When Kevin called me, I didn't expect it either. Kevin didn't even believe Monroe would help you. Did you ask Monroe why?"
"I did. But he seemed not to know why, either. Anyway, we don't owe each other anything anymore."
Jordan looked at her with a confused look. Stella explained, "The day I got kidnapped, I happened to see him get into a car accident, and I saved him.
"He was out of consciousness at the time, so I'm not sure if he knew it was me, but whatever. This time, he saved me, so now we're square."
Jordan thought for a second. "I guess he must have known. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped you this time. That's the only way to explain it."
Stella switched her fork to her left hand, then reached out and gave Jordan's cheek a playful pinch. Jordan looked at her with confusion. Stella switched her fork back to her right hand and grinned. "I just wanted to see if it was really you."
"Of course. I rushed over the moment I heard you were in trouble. I couldn't stop worrying the whole way here. I kept thinking, if I'd come with you, maybe none of this would have happened. Did they find out anything about it?"
Stella felt a warm glow in her heart as she repeated what Cavan had found out.
Jordan's face grew serious. "We have to dig deeper into this later." Stella was thinking the same thing.
After they finished eating, they went for a walk nearby. Jordan never let go of Stella's hand as they walked. This place wasn't a city, so at night it was so quiet that there wasn't a single car in earshot.
Instead, they could hear crickets and bugs in the background. It felt nice. But Jordan was worried. "There are too many mosquitoes out here. Let's head back."
Stella remembered how he'd rushed over here by plane, barely stopping for a breath, so she nodded in agreement. When they got back to the hotel and tried to book another room, the receptionist told them the place was already fully booked.
