Chapter 581 -590: Weird

After all, Stella Sterling wasn’t exactly known for her good temper.

‘What if I ask her, make her angry, and she decides to kill me?’

‘She never told me this before, which shows she doesn’t want me to know she was reborn. If I go ask her, letting her know that I’ve already figured it out, she might see me as a threat and want to kill me. Then I’d really be finished.’

‘Right now, I’m no match for Stella Sterling. My life is completely in her hands. If she wanted to kill me, I’d have no way to fight back.’

So, he hesitated. He had no intention of opposing Stella Sterling. After all, he had witnessed firsthand just how terrifying this woman could be lately.

He might complain about Stella Sterling, and sometimes even deliberately act out in front of her, but deep down, he was terrified of her and respected her greatly.

He had no ulterior motives toward her now. He just wanted to latch onto this powerful patron and live well by her side in the apocalypse.

‘But that’s what I think. Who knows if Stella Sterling sees it the same way?’

He didn’t dare to take that risk.

Still, he desperately wanted to confirm it with her. If Stella Sterling really was reborn too, they would have so much to talk about. They could discuss the future together.

‘I wouldn’t have to guard these secrets all by myself anymore, constantly terrified that someone would find out I was reborn. I live in almost constant fear.’

‘If Stella and I are the same, then I’ll finally have a companion.’

Andrew Shaw was agonizing over his dilemma, so lost in thought with his head down that he didn’t even notice Zane Xavier walking up behind him.

Zane Xavier spotted Andrew Shaw standing alone from a distance. He approached him and asked, confused, “Hey, little guy, what are you spacing out about all by yourself? By the way, didn’t you leave with Miss Sterling? Why isn’t she with you?”

Zane Xavier’s voice was laced with confusion. Earlier, Miss Sterling had come to get Andrew, saying she was taking him away for a while. But now she was gone, and Andrew was just standing here alone, dazed. ‘Did something happen?’

At that thought, Zane grew worried and asked, “Where did Miss Sterling go?”

Andrew Shaw pushed his feelings aside.

‘Whether I ask Stella Sterling or not, I’ll have to wait until she gets back. Since she’s not here now, I have time to properly consider what to do.’

He turned to Zane Xavier and said, “She suddenly said she had something to do and had to leave for a bit. I don’t know what happened either!”

As he spoke, he gazed in the direction Stella Sterling had left, a flicker of worry in his eyes.

‘Something was off about Stella Sterling just now. She wasn’t acting like her usual self.’

‘The old Stella Sterling would never have been so careless. She never would have let a weakness like that show for me to notice.’

‘But just now, Stella Sterling didn’t even pay attention to that detail and exposed herself right in front of me.’

Remembering the look on her face, he grew worried again, wondering what could have happened to her.

Her mood seemed off.

‘In the middle of the apocalypse, that’s dangerous.’

“Did Miss Sterling say anything else?” Zane Xavier asked, sensing something was amiss.

‘Miss Sterling seemed fine before, nothing was wrong. And she had already taken Andrew with her, which means she had already planned for this. So why would she suddenly leave by herself?’

“She didn’t say anything else, but I could tell she wasn’t in a very good mood.”

Andrew Shaw shook his head.

At that moment, both of them were worried, but there was nothing they could do.

After all, they didn’t even know where Stella Sterling had gone. Even if they were concerned for her safety, they had no way of sending someone to find her.

After a moment, Zane Xavier said, “Don’t worry. With Miss Sterling’s abilities, she’ll be fine. Something probably came up suddenly, and she went to take care of it.”

At this point, he could only offer such words to comfort them both.

Andrew Shaw nodded. Although he was genuinely worried about Stella Sterling’s odd behavior, the moment he recalled her bizarre powers, most of that worry vanished.

With that woman’s power, who could possibly hurt her?

If some fool without a lick of sense decided to mess with her, it would definitely be their funeral. As for Stella Sterling, there was no need to worry about her.

He even thought the only time she’d ever be in real danger was if she decided she was tired of living and killed herself.

At any other time, who could possibly lay a finger on her?

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zane Xavier, “You’re right. No need to worry. That woman is incredibly strong!”

Zane Xavier nodded. As they started walking back, Zane asked, “So, how did a little guy like you get to know Miss Sterling anyway? What did she see in you?”

There was no hidden meaning in Zane Xavier’s words; he was purely curious.

He’d observed Miss Sterling’s subordinates. Besides Stephen Lawrence, who had been with her from the very beginning, everyone else had their own special skills.

But this little guy was different. He was the only child in their group.

‘Why would Miss Sterling keep a child by her side?’ He had watched Andrew for a long time but hadn’t seen anything special about him.

“Because I’m cute, of course! What other reason could there be?”

Andrew Shaw said with a grin, leaving it at that. Although he got along well with Zane Xavier and knew he meant no harm, he had no intention of revealing his secret of being reborn to anyone.

‘Cute?’

Zane Xavier shot the little guy a look of disdain. ‘Fine, he is a *little* bit cute, I guess.’

But that was it!

And he didn’t believe for a second that Miss Sterling would keep someone around just for being cute.

He then shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it. Whatever the reason, everyone had their secrets. If Andrew didn’t want to say more, pressing the issue would only harm their relationship.

The two of them started walking toward their quarters, but after just a few steps, Stella Sterling appeared before them. She looked at Andrew Shaw. “Let’s go.”

The two stared in shock at Stella Sterling’s sudden appearance.

However, they had long since gotten used to her appearing and disappearing like a phantom, so they weren’t startled.

But seeing the bloodstains on her clothes, they asked in alarm, “What happened to you?!”
