Chapter 610
The night at sea glittered with a dazzling, intoxicating beauty.
The party on the cruise ship was lively, extravagant, and steeped in luxury.
Stella wore a light purple gown, with Felix’s jacket draped over her shoulders.
Felix opened the car door for her like a gentleman.
After she got out, Felix took her hand. “It won’t be cold once we’re inside p>
Stella nodded with a soft “Mm p>
Gray had prepared a coat for her, but for some reason, they had not been able to find it in the car earlier.
The man’s jacket still carried Felix’s warmth, along with his distinct scent of cold pine.
Stella glanced at Felix, who was not wearing a coat. His tie was in the same color family as her light purple gown.
“Are you cold?” Stella asked.
Felix said, “No. Men run warmer p>
Stella said nothing.
That was true.
Once winter came, it was as if women had no body heat at all.
Men, however, were different.
It was as if they carried a flame inside them, warming their bodies at all times.
Tonight’s event was jointly hosted by several large companies in Harbor City. It was a business gala.
For ordinary companies, an occasion like this was naturally important.
But for Felix, he could attend or skip it as he pleased.
As for why Christian had come, the reason was simple. Hogarth Group wanted to secure certain resources, so Hogarth Group was also one of the hosts.
Christian had arrived one step earlier than them.
When he saw Stella and Felix appear, Christian walked over and gave Stella a gentlemanly smile.
He called out warmly, “Miss p>
Then he extended his arm for Stella to hold.
Stella was not used to that kind of contact. Almost instinctively, she glanced at Felix.

Then he said to Christian, “She grew up in Harbor City. There’s a traditional streak in her p>
Hearing that, Christian raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Is that so? Then I was too forward, Miss p>
Stella said, “It’s fine p>
Not far away, Evan stood by the railing on the third deck of the cruise ship. The moment Felix and Stella
walked in, he saw them.
When he saw Christian immediately go over to greet Stella, his grip on the railing tightened uncontrollably.
Patrick stood behind him. Seeing Evan’s reaction, he could not help stepping forward to remind him, “Sir,
Mr. Leon has arrived p>
Mr. Leon was an important political figure from the United States.
He had come to the banquet this time because of certain resource-related matters in Harbor City.
The Wright family was a century-old family in Harbor City.
Mr. Leon had needs.
And Evan had needs in the United States as well. If he could reach some kind of cooperation with the American side, it would be the best way for him to pull himself out of his current predicament.
Hearing Patrick’s words, Evan looked once more in Stella’s direction.
She was talking and smiling with Christian, yet her hand remained on Felix’s arm the entire time.
Hah.
So she did know that Christian was a married man and that they needed to keep a proper distance in
public.
But Felix was actually willing to cover for their relationship.
No wonder Felix had gained so many benefits in Eirden over the years. Judging by the way he behaved…
Deep down, Evan truly looked down on Felix at that moment.
In his memory, Felix was not someone who would bow his head for power or status.
But the fact that he was willing to help conceal Stella’s relationship with Christian made Evan despise
him.
Evan narrowed his eyes. In the end, he said coldly to Patrick, “Let’s go p>
“Yes, sir p>

Evan gave Stella one final look.
He did not know what they had said, but at that moment, Christian was very gentlemanly as he lightly shook Stella’s hand.
