My CEO Ex Let Me Go

It was the end of the year, and Frimery was much colder now than in former years.

Stella Walsh was in the kitchen, busy cooking for the whole family.

While watching TV in the living room, her mother-in-law, Zoey Burton, urged her impatiently, "Are you not done cooking yet? What time is it now? Do you want to starve Adrian and me? You are really useless! You can't already get pregnant with a child, and you can't even do the housework well? I don't understand why my son married a loser like you."

Upon hearing these harsh words, Stella didn't retort. She could only lower her head.

She had been married to Waylon Burton for six years, and Zoey always scolded her for not getting pregnant.

If only Zoey knew the real reason. The truth was Waylon had never had sex with Stella once.

When the dinner was ready, Zoey and Adrian Burton, Waylon's younger brother, came to the dining room to have dinner. Stella could only eat in the kitchen.

Zoey never allowed Stella to have dinner with them at the same table, saying she would lose her appetite seeing Stella's face.

In the evening, a Maybach stopped in front of the villa.

Stella trotted to the balcony and looked downstairs.

A tall and slender man in a suit got out of the car. He was handsome and had an outstanding temperament. He was even more handsome than the big stars on TV.

Waylon seemed to sense that someone was looking at him, so he looked up. Then his gaze landed on Stella.

His eyes emitted coldness and ruthlessness.

Stella was already used to this kind of gaze. The corners of her mouth curved into a smile, but it didn't reach her eyes.

When Waylon entered their room, Stella had already prepared the bathtub for him as usual. She said, "Honey, your grandma has been at the convent for almost a month. In the afternoon, she called and said she wanted to pray for you..."

Before she could finish her words, Waylon interrupted, "We need to talk. I have something to tell you."

Stella turned her head and looked at him.

Waylon stared at her with dark eyes that had only indifference and alienation. There was no tenderness in them at all.

Then he said in a deep voice, "Ayla will be discharged from the hospital, and she's staying here. You should move out tomorrow."

Stella felt cold in her heart.

What Adrian had said was right.

"What if I don't?" Her voice was as light as a feather.

Waylon looked at her with a frown.

Stella had always been obedient to him. This was the first time she had disobeyed him.
