Chapter 1056

Author: Boat of Peaches
Time crept by at a snail’s pace.

If she didn’t go out soon, Ben might notice something.

The two regained their composure, and Stella turned on the tap and flushed cold water on her face.

She looked up at herself in the mirror with eyes that were still red.

Riley inhaled deeply and asked behind her, “Is there anything he left for me?”

Stella pondered for a long time. “There is only a recording.”

“Was there any mention of me?”

Her silence made Riley understand something. She laughed self-deprecatingly. “Perhaps there isn’t.”

She murmured with her head lowered. “It’s always been me pestering him, whether studying abroad or something else; it’s always been wishful thinking…”

Roger didn’t even leave her a message before he died after all that had happened.

Riley had never loved a person so much.

Despite all that had happened, she still could not let him go.

She felt his pain, and she felt his happiness.

The only sound left in the space was the water from the faucet dripping ont

Wow I don’t know how much more Stella can take. I was hoping Roger did the recording to throw Weston off and have Riley tell That. This was a shock

I really need some hope here. Since Zach’s death, it has been depressing and abusive towards Stella. The author had the opportunity to show Weston’s love by him believing her that she didn’t do it, and instead I think he is just an abusive mental psycho.

As mentioned before, I believe this is a new author considering some of the grammar mistakes as if somethings were lost in translation. This story is about abuse and manipulation. Weston was searching for Roger to use him so Stella would plead insanity and she would be in his care/control

    Ben was already getting anxious as he waited outside, pacing back and forth in front of the car.However, he was relieved when he saw Stella rushing out to him.“Mrs. Ford, can we go now?”She nodded. “Let’s go back.”He gave her a nod, but he had a feeling that something was wrong with her.Although she was already very depressed from the beginning, he felt she looked even worse now, as if her heart had turned into ashes.Everything seemed not to matter to her anymore. There was a kind of desperate silence that could be seen in her.“Is something wrong?” Ben couldn’t help but ask.Stella shook her head. Her expression was so frigid one might even say that it was the epitome of a gloomy day. “It’s nothing. Go back to the villa.”She went to her room as soon as she got out of the car, and Ben immediately told Weston about the incident today.“Nothing happened in particular. It’s just that she doesn’t look very happy.“Mrs. Ford seemed very emotional when she got out of the pr

    “Shut up!” Weston brushed off her hand.His cold, clear eyes were tainted with a murky hostility that would instantly send shivers down the spine.The aura around him suddenly froze over. Standing on the narrow balcony, Guinevere had nowhere to run.“If you don’t know how to shut up, I don’t mind teaching you.”Guinevere’s heart fluttered, but she still bit the bullet and met his cold gaze dead-on. “No, I am going to say it. You know what? When we were filming, when Stella was still Ella at that time, she told me that she stayed by your side just for those benefits you could give her!“What she loves is your status and money!She stepped forward and stared intensely into his eyes, trying to convince him. “She does not love you! Weston, that woman is unlike who we are. She is born lowly; that’s why she is greedy and wants everything!“She stays by your side only for the convenience that you can bring her!”Weston tugged the bowtie around his neck single-handedly to breathe more

    He thought about a lot of things during this period, and a clear plan had formed in his mind—Stella definitely could not remain.The last time he wanted to send her away, he was discovered by Weston.He planned to compromise at first.Since Weston liked her so much, there was no reason for the Ford family to tolerate a woman.Moreover, Weston already had Zachary, so he would not ask Stella to bear children for him.Although he was a traditional and old-fashioned character, he wasn’t too rigid and unchanging, so he decided to turn a blind eye and stopped looking for trouble with her. He would only criticize her a bit occasionally.But he never thought that because of his tolerance, this damned woman, Stella, would dare to attack his grandson!Had he known this, he would never have been soft on this woman again.“I have asked all the directors to come here today because I have one thing to say.”He said, “I’m getting older now. I don’t know how many years I have left to live,

    Weston’s life had been too smooth.He was so capable that no one dared to call his bluff or go against him.Perhaps it was this that made him so disobedient when it came to the matters of Stella.Warren thought he would teach him one last lesson before he died.That was, to never give up your interest because of a woman.“According to my original plan, Chris and Xavier should get an equal share of my equity as they are my sons. However, as you all know, Chris has a son, Weston, who also happens to be my only grandson. His contribution to the company over the years is more than apparent, so I plan to divide his father’s equity into half and give it to him.”As soon as he said that, all the directors exchanged glances and gasped.They seemed to find it bizarre.Based on Weston’s contribution to the company over the years and their inherent understanding, they would not say a word even if he gave a significant portion to Weston and would only think that it was normal.But now, We

    These people did not expect Warren to set up Weston like that and were at a loss for words.Warren concluded decisively, “I’ve made up my mind on this. I gathered everyone here today just to announce the decision formally...”He suddenly paused and turned to Weston. “This matter is closely related to you. Do you have anything to say?”Weston tapped his fingers on the table lightly and suddenly curled his lips into a smile. “You’ve made up your mind. I don’t think I have anything to say.”Warren furrowed his brows immediately. He stood up, furious. “How dare you talk to me like that?”After that, he got so emotional that he coughed violently and fell back to his seat.The butler hurriedly got him some water, patting Warren’s back to calm him down. “Relax. The doctor said you shouldn’t get angry…”Weston frowned a little and said nothing. After a short silence, he said, “Okay. I accept your arrangement.”“What?”The directors looked at Weston with some surprise. They did not exp

    Weston came into the living room and glanced at the sofa.“Stella?”Stella was nowhere to be found. Joan was out working, so the house was empty. Weston furrowed his brow as a dull feeling of restlessness surged through him.Weston searched the bedroom and did not find Stella. Then, he went to the back garden to look. There was still no one in sight.Weston’s face sank instantly.He couldn’t stand it any longer, but he couldn’t see her when he came home. Then, just as he was about to call her, soft footsteps came from behind him.Weston turned around and saw Stella appear behind him, holding a handful of thorny noses. Her face was covered in dirt, and her hair was disheveled. Her white nightgown had a few cuts and holes.Weston moved his gaze down and stopped at her pale hands. The thorns of the rose had pierced her skin, leaving spots of blood.She just stood there, looking at him but not saying a word.Black hair and red roses… Stella’s face was so pale that she looked like

    Stella’s feeling at this point was no longer sadness, but outright boredom and annoyance.Yes, she was bored. She did not see the point of living in the world anymore. She had no interest in any of these.The world had no one she cherished.She was still alive, but barely. It wasn’t until her fingers were white from soaking in the water that she got out.Weston was already waiting for her in the living room. When he saw her come out, his eyes were full of disapproval. “Your hand is injured. You shouldn’t have showered yourself.”Stella’s mouth tugged slightly. “It’s just a shower. It’s not like I broke my hand. What’s wrong with bathing myself?”Weston looked at her steadily and sensed her unusual mood. He pulled her to the sofa and sat her down.“What? Did the person you met today give you a hard time?”Weston thought Stella was depressed because she must’ve had a bad meeting with Michael and Diana.Stella looked at him indifferently and suddenly said something meaningful, “W

    Stella’s tone seemed a little agitated. Sensing she was losing control, she took a deep breath to calm down.“A lot has happened in the last few days… Weston, I want to know... I want to know that he’s safe and alive, so I can…”“He’s in Compassvale,” Weston interrupted her. Weston’s eyes were dark, more intense than the night. Only her shadow reflected off of his eyes. Turbulent emotions flowed in them, like dark currents under the calm sea.“He’s doing well. You don’t have to worry.”Stella tried to suppress the urge to cry and dropped her head. She knew Weston would not tell her the truth, but her heart pounded heavily and hurt whenever she heard him lie with her own ears.She wanted to grab him by the collar and question him for lying to her. Why?He had clearly forced Roger to death, but he could still lie to her. Was he simply heartless?“Okay, I know.” Stella did her best to suppress the surging emotions in her heart. She tried to sound as calm as possible. “I’m relieve

    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 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

    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

    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

    Hayden Quirk arrived half an hour earlier than Stella did on their first date.“You’re much earlier than I expected,” he joked as Stella walked in.Stella was actually on time, but she still felt a little guilty when she saw him already waiting for her when she arrived.“The traffic is terrible today,” she said.“Don’t worry about it,” Hayden said, handing her the menu. “Mr. Ford expected me to wait for you for at least an hour.”“I seriously don’t know what you guys are up to,” she grumbled, exasperated, “but I hope it will at least be over soon. Just don’t drag it out and cause me any trouble.”She ordered a few dishes, then handed the menu back to him. Hayden took it from her, ordered a few more signature dishes that the restaurant was popular for, then looked at Stella with a faint smile.“Did you think this is all just a joke?” he asked.“What else could it be?”“I am serious about this,” he told her, his voice suddenly turning grave. “Since even Mr. Ford agreed that we s

    Weston raised his eyebrows at Ben’s words. “But he’s divorced. He has an ex-wife.”“What’s wrong with having an ex-wife?”Ben found Weston’s comment strange. “This man has good qualities. Upon investigation, he has a very good personality too. He was an active member during college. He also has an amazingly beautiful resume. It’s normal that a man like him has been married before… Besides, hasn’t Ms. Sealey been married before herself? She even has two children.”Weston’s expression turned cold at once. “Are you discriminating against her?”“I’m not.”Weston said, “Or do you think she can only find a divorced man for her second marriage?”Ben panicked. “I wouldn’t dare!”With Weston’s ridiculous amount of nitpicking, they could find no one that would match Stella.Hayden sat beside and quietly reviewed Weston’s latest psychological health report. As he turned the page, he suddenly said, “I’m actually a little interested in Ms. Sealey.”Hayden laughed a little and turned to Wes

    Stella opened her eyes and shot Weston a cold look. Then, she turned her head the other way.Weston did not touch her again. He knew she was probably angry with him, so he stayed silent.A few moments later, he reminded her, “Don’t be angry. That man is unreliable.”Stella propped her chin in her palm. “And what does that have to do with you?”Weston pursed his lips, setting his jaw in a tight line. He said, “I’ve promised to stop pestering you. It’ll be a promise. I’m fine with seeing you with another man, but at least find someone who makes me feel at ease.”“Why do I need your approval when I’m just looking for a date?” Stella found his words funny. “You’re just my ex-husband. Don’t you think you care too much?”Weston rubbed his brow, and his voice suddenly went cold. “If you don’t want me to keep pestering you like I just did, maybe you should listen to me.”Stella questioned, “Are you threatening me?”“No. I’m suggesting.”Stella was lost for words. Then, she suddenly

    Stella froze for a moment when she heard the voice. When she turned around, she saw that Weston had appeared behind her at some point.Weston stared at the man behind Stella with a cold gaze and an icy aura around him. Weston had always emitted a strong aura around him. Anyone who saw him would immediately be terrified because of his intimidating aura.The man froze for a moment at Weston’s sudden appearance. He took a step back and quickly steadied himself before greeting Weston, “Mr. Ford.”He still had the same calm and gentle look. “I’m sending Miss Cicily back.”“I know. Don’t ever show up in front of her again,” Weston told him. “You don’t have to send her back. Stay away from her.”It would be a little inappropriate for the man to act a fool at Weston’s straightforwardness, so he tugged at his collar and asked Weston with a polite smile, “Mr. Ford, you should give me a reason, shouldn’t you? I’m having a good time with Miss Cicily.”“You’re the one who thinks she’s having

    Stella smiled. It seemed like he had come prepared.Stella enjoyed chatting with the man. He was sincere and introduced himself properly as soon as they started chatting.The man was also a pianist and came from a scholarly family. Although not super wealthy, he was doing considerably well in the middle class. Stella would not need to worry about the quality of life with him, but that was about it. She certainly could not live a luxurious life.Stella had a good impression of him. She also talked to him a little more about piano music.Stella twirled her hair and smiled. She told him with a nice voice, “I’m sure Roger has already told you about my situation.”“I know.”The man looked at her gently and set the coffee in front of her. He said to her, “I’m very interested in you. I think we’re very suitable for each other. Our living standards nowadays have improved quite a bit. Not many look for a partner purely because of material qualities. People with emotional needs will search
