Chapter 826 It's Impossible

Alexander happened to come out of the study and saw the troubled expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" Alexander walked over and asked.

Stella thought for a moment, "Alexander, do you think I should meet with Wyatt again? Maybe if we talk things out calmly, he might be able to let go and stop harassing us."

"Miss Woods' suggestion?" Alexander asked.

Stella nodded, then said, "Although it was Fiona's idea, I've been thinking about it from time to time recently."

Stella no longer felt the satisfaction of revenge after seeing Wyatt.

All she thought about was to part on good terms. She had a bright future ahead and hoped Wyatt could let go of the past and find his own future.

"Then meet with him." Alexander said calmly as he sat down beside her, "Otherwise, you'll always have a lingering doubt in your heart."

"John, I have no feelings for him anymore. Please, don't misunderstand..." Sarah said instinctively.

She was considering Alexander’s feelings about meeting Wyatt.

After all, in the upper-class circles, her pas with Wyatt had been a long-standing joke. If rumor spread that she met Wyatt before the wedding, it wouldn't be fair to Alexander.

"I won't misunderstand." Alexander looked at Stella with clear eyes, "You don't need to care about others' opinions, I don't mind, your feelings are the most important."

Stella was stunned, then her eyes gradually turned red.

She opened her arms and hugged Alexander, "I must have done a lot of good deeds for God to send you to save me."

In those loveless days, if she hadn't met Alexander, how long could she have endured?

Stella didn't know.

Alexander gently patted her back, "There, there, don't be sad..."

Sarah remained silent.

She hugged John for a moment before sending a message to Fiona.

"Arrange the meeting, but you have to tell him, if he acts aggressively, I'll call the police and have him arrested!"

Fiona could imagine how Sarah looked when she typed out that message.

Fiona conveyed Stella's message to Wyatt, who seemed to come alive instantly.

He immediately went to get a haircut, shaved off his beard, and bought a well-fitted suit.

The next morning, still at the same coffee shop as yesterday, Wyatt met Sarah.

Stella glanced at him, and for a moment, it seemed like time had rewound to the year she first met Wyatt.

Back then, she never imagined they would be involved for sixteen years, only to end like this.

Wyatt approached, his eyes red and his voice already choked with emotion, "Stella, I'm sorry."

Stella composed herself.

"If you really feel sorry, you should stop this nonsense," Stella said calmly.

In a panic, Wyatt sat down in front of Stella, "I know I didn't protect you before, causing you a lot of grievances. I promise I won't do it again. You are the only important person in my life!"

Stella looked at him and gently shook her head, "I don't need that anymore."

She had longed for this moment for a long time, but when it finally arrived, she no longer needed it.

"What do I have to do for you to forgive me?" Tears streamed down Wyatt's face. He was visibly distressed.

Back then, when they argued, Stella would throw things and scream. She was never this calm.

"I have forgiven you, " Stella replied calmly.

"Then why are you marrying someone else?" Wyatt asked in anguish, feeling as if his heart was being torn apart.

Stella had never seen Jack like this before.

The remnants of her love made her heart ache uncontrollably.

"Forgiving you is real, and not loving you anymore is also real," Stella continued.

If she still loved him, how could she forgive the hurt and mistrust?

Wyatt felt like the sky was falling on him.

"Don't do this... Stella, I beg you, you can’t just leave me after loving me for sixteen years. How am I supposed to go on? I... I won't be able to live!" Wyatt couldn't hold back, crying bitterly.

Stella lowered her gaze.

Seeing Wyatt cry in front of her didn't bring the satisfaction or relief she thought it would.

"Wyatt, you are a good person, but we are not right for each other. Alexander treats me very well, and I’m happy every day with him, with no burdens or stress. That's the life I want. I believe... you will soon meet someone who makes you happy every day and who your family approves of. Let's leave it at that, don't entangle us anymore. It's good for both of us."

"I can't do it!" Wyatt was in so much pain, "Let's try again, just one more time, please?"

He looked at Stella pleadingly.

Stella shook her head without hesitation, "I won't try again."

Wyatt felt like he was about to suffocate from the pain.

"This is an invitation for you. If you want to bless me and Alexander, you can come." Stella took out the invitation and pushed it toward Wyatt.

On her ring finger was a simple yet beautiful old ring.

It looked perfect on her finger.

Suddenly, Wyatt remembered.

A long time ago, Stella had also given him a ring.

She had said she personally selected the gemstone and handcrafted the ring.

They were both young at the time and only had eyes for each other.

But what happened to the ring?

Wyatt's head hurt as he recalled throwing the ring into the Thames in anger when he saw a photo of Stella kissing another man.

After seeing the ring was missing from his hand, Stella didn't ask a single question, she just never wore her ring again.

Seeing Wyatt remained silent, Stella had nothing more to say.

She got up to leave.

"The ring..." Wyatt choked out.

Stella instinctively glanced at her wedding ring and said, "It's a family heirloom from Alexander’s mom, what about it?"

The Durham family was also a prominent family.

There was also a family heirloom ring from Wyatt's mother.

He felt a bitter taste in his throat.

"I mean, the pair of rings you made when you were eighteen... where's yours?" Wyatt lowered his head, afraid to look at Stella.

Stella was suddenly startled.

She felt a slight sting in her pinky finger.

When she made those rings that year, she pricked her pinky finger, injuring a nerve, and to this day, her injured finger was not as agile.

"I threw it away," Stella replied calmly.

In reality, she hadn't. She kept everything related to Wyatt very carefully.

After this final separation, she never went back to her old home, so those things were still there.
