Stella's POV
Adrian practically dragged me from the bathroom, leaving me utterly bewildered. My mind raced with confusion as I tried to understand what would happen next. Unable to contain my emotions any longer, I poured out everything that had mortified me. Though he held me tight and repeatedly expressed his fear of losing me, I couldn't ignore one crucial fact—not once during the incident had he checked if I was okay. How could I believe his desperation was genuinely for me?
The thought crept into my mind that perhaps Adrian was with me solely out of obligation because of my pregnancy. After all, Liam was planning to marry that woman thinking she was pregnant. Maybe Adrian shared the same sense of duty as his friend.
