Why it never ends

Chapter 1178 Hear
"...You know all this. Who told you?" Hesta was a little surprised at Stella's network of connections. Hesta had not told anyone about the adventure at Kovicik's place yesterday afternoon, but just one day later, Stella got the news.

"Kovicik told me." Stella laughed, "It seems to be true? I thought he was bragging to me!"

"Have you been into the city in the past two days?"

"Call!" Stella said, "Who said we have to meet in person to chat?"

Several people wiped their mouths and hands with napkins at the same time, and then stood up and left the restaurant. Under Stella's questioning, Hesta talked about some details of yesterday. Stella talked about Kovicik's obsession with Hesta in a teasing way. Hesta was not interested in this topic and was too lazy to pay attention to Stella's jokes.

"I was worried a while ago that your attitude would annoy him sooner or later," Stella said, "but now I think that maybe the less you take him seriously, the more he will hang around you."

Hesta glanced at Stella and said, "Next time I'll tell him not to tell anyone anything."

"I've warned you a long time ago," Stella said with a smile, "You know what he said? He explained to me that he only talked to me about this because I'm yours - he wouldn't talk to anyone else. Look, how thoughtful... But I don't quite understand, since you have no interest in him at all, how did he stick to you?"

"How would I know how a man like him thinks?" Hesta said coldly. Despite this, Stella's question did stir up some ripples in her. For the first time, Hesta began to wonder when Kovicik had become so flattering. After thinking it over, Hesta concluded that Stella was the instigator of all this. She glared at Stella and said, "If you hadn't asked me to leave him a letter, I don't think anything would have happened now."

"Uh--" Si Lei suddenly pulled the clothes on Hesta's back.

"That's impossible," Stella continued Hesta's words, answering decisively, "If I hadn't seen that he had a strange attitude towards you, how could I have given you the idea to leave a letter? The real starting point of the whole thing must be earlier than this. I think, maybe -"

"Shut up, it's so boring." Hesta unexpectedly reached out and pinched Stella's jaw to shut her mouth. Stella almost bit her tongue and started coughing because of the saliva.

"You are too heartless!" Stella said, "How do you say that? Affectionate people are always annoyed by the heartless--"

Stella's voice stopped abruptly.

Hesta looked up. At the end of this staircase, Chloe and her friends were standing there.

The young girl stared at Hesta with an almost furious look - obviously, Chloe had heard everything she had just said to Stella, and it had aroused in her a tremendous wave of surprise and hatred.

Although Hesta didn't think she had said anything excessive, she still felt like she was being caught by Chloe. Hesta quietly adjusted her center of gravity, because Chloe looked like she would pounce on her at any time.

Just when Hesta thought Chloe was going to start a verbal battle, Chloe's nose suddenly twitched a few times, and then she burst into tears uncontrollably.

Hesta, who had been prepared to deal with it, suddenly became at a loss. Stella and Si Lei also stood there, not knowing what to do. The three adults looked at each other and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Uh... Chloe," Hesta stretched out a hand, "Uh, you... uh..." Chloe was also a little surprised by her own reaction. She wiped away her tears desperately, trying to calm herself down, but it was in vain. Chloe was undoubtedly angry, but at this moment, she first felt a great sadness - a strong thought arose in her heart: Does her beloved Kovicik know that Hesta, whom he is obsessed with, is so contemptuous and disdainful when talking about him?
Her empathy for Kovichik temporarily extinguished all her anger, so much so that she could only shed tears for Kovichik before seeking justice from Hesta.

"You..." Chloe tried her best to squeeze out a few words from her throat, "You... are so bad..."

These harmless words annoyed Chloe. She should have used a thousand harsh words to denigrate Hesta, to make her feel ashamed and speechless, but Chloe could not say anything at the moment. More tears were pouring out, making her feel like a deserter who had abandoned his armor and weapons as soon as he entered the battlefield.

Chloe gritted her teeth, suddenly turned around and ran to the other side of the stairs.

"...You will be punished! I...I will tell him everything that happened today...everything that happened today! Just wait!"

Chloe left this meaningless remark and went back the way she came without looking back. Lu Qizhen was the first to react and quickly chased after Chloe, calling her name as she ran.

Jia Heduolei was completely confused. She didn't understand why Chloe was angry at the beginning, and why she ran away crying now. But since Lu Qizhen was chasing Chloe, it seemed that she should chase after her...

So, Jiahoduolei waved to Hesta and the other two awkwardly and ran away.

The stairs became quiet again.

Hesta supported her lower back with both hands and blinked in the direction where Chloe disappeared. She would rather this girl had rushed over to fight with her. Chloe didn't look like she would fight anyway...

But this development really made Hesta feel a sense of moral guilt. Although she didn't quite understand why Chloe was crying, it was because of what she had just said. An inexplicable sense of apology for bullying a little girl made Hesta feel weird.

So she turned around and glared at Stella: “That’s good now.”

“Then I didn’t know she was there…” Stella shrugged, “Besides, what did I just say was a lie? Aren’t we all analyzing it!”

"You are forbidden to discuss Kovichik with me from now on," Hesta crossed his arms, "I am so annoyed!"

……

The farm road seemed particularly deserted at this moment.

Although the police asked people not to go out after dark, most of the workers put down their work and returned to their homes early around four o'clock in the afternoon.

At this moment, apart from the police standing guard every fifty meters, no one else could be seen on the road. Only the occasional barking of dogs and the continuous chirping of insects intertwined in the darkness, and a chilling silence was revealed amid the noise.
