Crossroads

Chapter 66

Stephanie looked at the man in front of her and frowned.

She thought, 'Encountering Kevin here isn't particularly surprising. Just moments ago, Claire had been trying on wedding dresses at a nearby large wedding boutique. But...

"Steffi, I didn't expect to run into you here." Kevin's voice was calm but tinged with joy.

Stephanie looked at him and didn't immediately respond to him. Her gaze shifted to the little girl beside him, Kevin's daughter.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

She hesitated for a moment. "Is it okay if we go to the café across the street?" she finally said, gesturing to the open-air café behind her.

Kevin couldn't help but be surprised. He chuckled, "I thought you were quite wary of our relationship."

There were too many entanglements between the two of them.

She had jumped into the river to save him. He had given her blood and rushed her to the hospital for treatment. They had been husband and wife once, but he had cheated on their marriage. And the little girl before her....

"Kevin, I have something important to tell you," Stephanie's face was serious.

"What is it?" Kevin called a bodyguard to take his daughter away, then joined Stephanie in the outdoor café across the street.

Stephanie looked at him, words on the tip tip of her tongue, , but hesitated.

She thought, Judging by Jessica and Claire's expressions, the chat they just had seemed genuine. Dominick had been keeping secrets for Claire and helping her plot against me."

"Steffi, are you having some difficulties?" Kevin noticed her complex expression and expressed concern.

Stephanie's mind was in turmoil. Looking at Kevin across from her, she didn't know who to trust.

She was tired of being framed by the Peterson sisters and manipulated.

'Would Dominick really do me harm? Could Kevin be plotting against me now?" she pondered.

All she wanted was the truth.

Stephanie said solemnly, "Kevin, you should check your daughter and Claire's..."

Before she could finish, her eyes widened as she looked fixedly behind a large tree to the left. 'Flashlight..."

"What's wrong?" Kevin stared at her, sensing something amiss.

Stephanie fell silent for a moment, then inexplicably smiled at him, "Try this cake. It's delicious," she said, pushing a small plate of cake she had been eating toward him.

Kevin glanced at the cake, noticing Stephanie had already nibbled. He found it surprising, even puzzling but decided not to delve into it. Instead, he just reached for a fork and had a casto.

"Kevin, why do you eat like a child?" Stephanie smiled and leaned closer to him, using a tissue to wipe his lips.

Kevin was utterly dumbfounded, especially when he met her smile. He blushed and felt a bit awkward.

"Let's go to the small park behind the restaurant." Her voice was soft as she whispered in his ear.

Kevin was too stunned to react, but Stephanie was already eagerly pulling him, and they headed toward the small park behind the restaurant together.

"Steffi, what's gotten into you today?" Kevin asked nervously, looking down at her hand, which was clinging tightly to his arm. Their bodies were so close. It was the first time they had been so intimate.

"Stop him!" But the next moment, Stephanie shouted in a cold voice.

Kevin came back to his senses, looking toward the corner of the alley where a man wearing a gray duckbill cap was sneaking away, Stephanie gave him a hard shove, and he immediately ran after the man.

Seeing he was discovered, the man in the gray duckbill cap immediately took off running.

"Get him!" Stephanie saw the man was about to get aw immediately hurled her bag at the man's head.

"Ouch!"

At this moment, Kevin swooped in and tackled the man to the ground. "Gotchal"

Stephanie retrieved her two lost shoes, not feeling embarrassed at all. Walking up to the man, she grabbed them and smacked him hard on the head again.

"You had a great time taking pictures just now, didn't you!" She lowered her gaze and scrutinized him. "Hand over the camera!"

The man, pinned down by Kevin, looked terrified and tried to defend himself weakly. "I was just passing by. You can't..."

"I'm telling you, if it weren't for my pregnancy, your legs would have been disabled by now!" Stephanie glared at him, commanding, "Hand over the camera immediately."

With that, Stephanie signaled to Kevin. "Tear off his clothes."

The young man in the gray duckbill cap looked extremely disheveled. He glanced fearfully at Stephanie, seemed intimidated, and stammered, “I didn't mean to harm you..."

Kevin did find a camera on the man. They checked the digital camera and found candid shots of him and her being intimate.

"Who sent you to follow me?" Stephanie scrutinized him. She didn't recognize this stranger, but it seemed he had been tracking her for a while.

"Are you a reporter?" Kevin speculated.

The man remained silent, bowing his head, his expression complicated, showing no intention to speak up.

"Kevin, call someone you trust to come over and help." Stephanie suddenly spoke o coldly, her gaze lowered, staring directly at the man pinned to the ground. "Tie him up and lock him in a remote warehouse without food or drink for several days and nights....

Even Kevin felt a bit uneasy. "Steffi, do we really have to do this?"

Though he wasn't a saint, he hadn't done anything as outrageous as this before.

Stephanie bent down, staring fiercely at the man on the ground. "Hamm going to take you away!" Her tone was arrogant.

She seemed to raise her voice on purpose and warned coldly, "I'm going to torture you! What can you do? Dare you to call the police? Will Dominick send me to prison for you? Based on his style, he doesn't keep useless people around. He will only think you're Incompetent!"

Kevin was shocked to hear her words.

The man groveling on the ground seemed bewildered. He seemed frightened when he heard Dominick's om name and quickly pleaded, "Mrs. Wellington, I, I just...please don't make it hard for me."

A thud sounded.

In a fit of anger, Stephanie kicked a nearby empty bottle away. 'Damn it!

"So it was really him who sent you."

Stephanie sat alone on a park bench, looking frustrated and disappointed..)

It was a disappointment directed towards someone specific.

She had once hoped that Dominick would pro protect her for the sake of the child she carried, "It seems that I was wrong!
