Chapter 7

After Neil left, the more I thought about it, the stranger this whole thing seemed.

I unblocked the number of one of Liam's good friends from my phone's blacklist.

This person was his childhood neighbor, and maybe because she was a woman, she was the one I got along with best among Liam's circle of friends. She also seemed to dislike Stella.

I dialed the number, and it was quickly answered.

"Nora, you finally showed up. I was heartbroken for a long time after you blocked me," Tina's wailing voice came from the other end of the phone.

But I had no time for jokes with her. "Tina, do you know if anything happened between my brother and Stella?"

"Your brother? Neil?"

"Yes."

I told her about Neil coming to ask me to divorce Liam to let Stella be with him.

Tina on the other end of the phone burst into laughter, "Hahahahaha, I didn't expect that after so many years, your brother is still such a lovesick puppy. He's really good at self-delusion!"

"What do you mean?"

"Actually, your brother and Stella met at a competition once. It seems your brother really admired Stella's talent and fell in love with her at first sight. Liam found out about this later and wanted to go beat up your brother, but Stella stopped him. After that, the two of them just stayed out of each other's way. Stella went abroad after high school graduation. I don't know if she kept in touch with your brother during that time. But your brother is quite a few years older than you, right? He's never had a girlfriend and never showed any intention of getting married. Looks like he's still waiting for someone~" Tina teased on the other end of the phone.

I was shocked. I never expected that my brother would like Stella, and even stayed single for so many years because of her. How charming must Stella be to make my brother say such things to his own sister even now?
