Stella’s words rendered Weston speechless. She was right. He had been the one to agree to let Stella date other people, so he must seem like a fool saying all those things to her.He withdrew his hands and forced himself to calm down a little. “I have no intention to stand in your way,” he told Stella. “I was only worried about Elias and Emma. Since they’re also here, I think you need to take their feelings into consideration.”The children could sense the strained atmosphere between the adults, so they just waited patiently on the couch with Roger, occasionally poking their heads out to look at their parents.Seeing his kids like that, Weston slowly added, “I’m only here to see the kids, so both of you can go ahead with your date.”Stella said nothing and just took Hayden’s hand and left.When they got downstairs, Hayden glanced at her and asked, “Are you sure you want to just leave him like that?”“I don’t know,” Stella massaged the point between her brows. “I’m not sure wh
Weston paused, then simply replied, “Okay.”When he saw her changing into a pair of high heels, he followed her around and asked, “Where are you going?”“Oh, to a private concert.”Then she added, “If you’re going to spend the night here tonight, then please take care of Elias and Emma. But if you have to leave, I’ll ask Roger to come over instead.”“Don’t worry,” he said. “Just go out and enjoy yourself. I’ll be at home and take good care of the kids.”Stella paused suddenly, feeling inexplicably weird about what Weston had just said. It sounded like she was forcing him to stay at home and take care of the kids while she went out to have fun without a care in the world. She turned around to look at Weston, feeling like he was acting like a poor neglected housewife.She shook her head and tried to shake this terrifying thought out of her mind.When they arrived at the concert, Hayden offered his arm to her like a gentleman. They then walked into the private concert together, w
The moment Stella saw him, she flew into his arms and clambered onto his body. She kissed him again and again, trying to search for his breath so she could explore his body even deeper. All she wanted was to let him extinguish the fire burning inside her.Half an hour had passed, and the effect of the drug on her body was its strongest now.Weston swallowed his saliva. Without any hesitation, he pinned her against the bathroom mirror and kissed her vehemently on her face, her shoulders, then her neck.Stella could not stop herself from letting out loud moans. The sounds she produced only drove Weston wilder. Even the corners of his eyes began to turn red now.Luckily, there was still a thread of reason in his mind. He pushed her away and, while panting heavily, asked her, “Who am I, Stella?”But Stella’s mind was occupied with her primal urges. She ignored his question and grabbed his shirt collar, saying, “Let’s do it…” The sight of her filled Weston with a desire to just give
Stella had rarely ever woken up before him.He had always been terrifyingly strong, but their lovemaking last night must have consumed a lot of his energy, leaving him so tired that he was still sound asleep.She stared at him and suddenly felt like doing something naughty. She pinched his nose and held her fingers there, trying to suffocate him. Unsurprisingly, he soon knitted his handsome brows and quickly woke up.He was surprised to see her mesmerizing eyes as soon as he woke up, which made him pause. He then took her hand into his and kissed it again and again.“Are you okay?” he asked with concern, remembering how wildly he ravaged her last night.She had only been willing to be intimate with him because she was under the influence of a drug, yet he had taken advantage of her and had his way with her over and over again last night.Stella did not speak. Seeing her like that made his expressions turn a little colder. He fell silent for a long time before he got up and sl
The creaking sounds finally stopped. On this heavy night, low, husky voices gradually calmed down. A subtle rustling sound of fabric could be heard as the man got up, putting on his clothes. As Stella Sealey looked at the scratch marks on his back, she felt a sudden impulse, and reflexively grabbed his wrist. “Could you stay here tonight?” Weston paused. Without turning back and letting her keep the view of his perfectly toned back, he buttoned up his shirt. Stella was anxious. Her fingers clenched at the already wrinkled sheets, further crumpling them. She held her breath as if to wait for his judgment. After a long while, she heard him say, “Okay.” Stella breathed a sigh of relief. She even felt tears well up in her eyes. The man turned around. He was strikingly tall and had chiseled handsome features, and his deep eyes looked like the starry night sky. This man was her husband, Weston Ford. Sole heir of Ford Corporation, he was the youngest man to ever top the Fo
Divorce?Stella couldn’t describe how she felt when she saw the divorce agreement. She sat down and squeezed her hands at the hems of her shirt. “W-why?”She looked up, finally staring him straight in the eyes.She had never looked at him directly before even when they were making love last night.There was always an imposing distance and iciness in his cold but charming eyes. Like an everlasting iceberg, no one could ever gain his pity or love.Just like the staff in his company, Stella was afraid of looking him in the eyes.However, divorce was a major issue. She wanted to know why he had suddenly decided to do this. Even if she didn’t have the right to refuse, he could at least give her a reason…“There’s no reason.”There was no emotion in his tone. He got up slowly and swept a glance at her, exuding an oppressing aura. “Sign it after you’ve read through it.”Stella’s gaze fell to the divorce agreement.Instead of taking it, she hung her head, looking rather pale.There
As if she had sensed Stella’s gaze, the woman stopped.Holding her phone in one hand, with delicate eyebrows and the glamor of a pampered face, she quickly cast Stella a glance before talking softly on the phone, saying, “I’ll wait for you at the hospital.”Then, she hung up and extended a hand at Stella, smiling as she said, “Hi, I’m Guinevere.”Stella was stunned. She extended her hand out of confusion and said, “Hi, I’m Stella…”Guinevere only took Stella’s hand briefly before pulling away, frowning slightly. After seeing how harmless Stella looked, her lips relaxed into a smile. “It seems like I’ve misunderstood. When you were staring at me just now, I thought you were a fan who had recognized me and wanted my autograph.”Upon hearing this, Stella felt her hand that had just shaken Guinevere’s burn up. Her face flushed too. “I’m sorry… I wasn’t staring at you on purpose.”She pursed her lips before telling the truth. “I overheard you talking on the phone and heard a familiar
Roger had only met Weston once. On the day Stella and Weston got their marriage certificate, Weston had treated Roger to a meal.Weston had always maintained a gentleman’s image in front of outsiders and his manners were impeccable, so Roger had a good impression of him.At that moment, Stella stared at Roger dazedly while holding her breath.Why was Weston here?He didn’t even answer her call earlier.Roger didn’t notice Stella acting strange. He was waving at the door excitedly, calling out, “Brother-in-Law!”Yet, the man merely passed by without stopping.Finally, Roger put down his arm in confusion. “Sis, did Brother-in-Law get the wrong room?”Having said that, he was about to lift his blanket and get out of bed. “He must have gone the wrong way. I’ll go get him.”Stella snapped back to her senses then. “Don’t go!”Weston had just brought up divorce with her this morning, so he might not be here for her sake. Hence, they might get into a fight if Roger abruptly went ov
