Chapter 103 You Think I’m That Irresistible?
A quiet sense of unease crept into his chest.
Did something serious happen?

With a swipe of his slender finger, he answered the call–and heard Stella’s clear, lovely voice on the other end.
“Ethan, I’m officially letting you know, I don’t like Lucas. I really don’t–not out of spite.Seeing him with someone else doesn’t bother me. It might sound a little harsh, but I still want to tell you–back then, I didn’t like him that much to begin with. I agreed to date him on impulse. That was my mistake. I’ll write an essay–one thousand words. You’re helping me with it tonight. Anyway, long story short, stop doing things that aren’t necessary for me, got it? You didn’t forget what I said last night, did you?”
The next morning, seated in Ethan’s car, Stella asked him seriously.
Ethan held the steering wheel with one hand. Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a golden glow over the black rosary on his wrist.
He shook his head. “I didn’t forget.”
How could he? He’d never forget it as long as he lived.
He had to help write a full thousand–word essay.
But honestly, it was kind of nice. Stella hadn’t asked Logan–she asked him.
He’d never written one before and didn’t really know how, so Tina helped him.
“That’s good.” Stella’s pale, delicate fingers buckled her seatbelt.
Ethan was just looking out for her. There was no reason to blame him.
The car drove smoothly onto the mountain road.
Ethan said, “You don’t like Lucas anymore–I believe that now. But have you ever thought… maybe Lucas still likes you?”
Stella shook her head. “You think I’m that irresistible? I mean, I am pretty irresistible, but Lucas is a major star. He’s not short on women. Hannah’s also beautiful–she had you totally smitten, and Lucas is crazy about her too.”

Besides, those two were the male and female leads. They were destined to end up together.
She might’ve been a crush that came back from the dead, and that could’ve stirred something in him.
But yesterday, the two of them were holding hands tight. Lucas even looked smug about it.
Bringing up Hannah and herself suddenly made Ethan’s expression flicker with awkwardness. “Let’s hope that’s true.”
The main reason he’d sent Mr. Foster over was to make sure Lucas wouldn’t dare bother Stella again.
Lucas would probably back off and avoid showing up in front of her anymore.
“You still like Hannah?” Stella asked casually.
Ethan shook his head so fast it was almost funny. “Nope, not at all.”
Stella patted him on the shoulder, genuinely pleased. “That’s more like it. If you’ve got that kind of memory, might as well put it to use learning more vocab.”
Over an hour later, the two of them arrived at Trinity High.
Stella had thought long and hard about transferring Jimmy from Trinity to Ashford High.
First, the academic environment at Trinity was terrible. Even Malory had moved three times
for her son’s education.
Second, the man who had bought Jimmy and Jenn might still be lurking nearby.
Trinity and Ashford were in different districts.
Ashford was big. If Jimmy transferred there, the chances of that man finding him would drop significantly.
Ashford was Stella’s territory. If that man dared to show up, she’d make sure he wouldn’t leave in one piece.
It was already second period at Trinity.
When they reached the principal’s office, he wasn’t there.
Ethan waited in the office.

Stella decided to find the school store to buy some snacks.
Since she’d never been to this school, she had no idea where it was.
But as luck would have it, she ran into the same Harry she’d seen last time.
“Harry!” Stella called his name.
Harry turned and lit up. “Hey
