Weston abruptly extinguished his cigarette on the ashtray before turning to face her.

“Do you really have to talk to me like that?”

“It has to end today,” Stella answered firmly.

“End?”

The words whirled in his tongue before he spit them out softly.

With a wry smile on his face, he said, “I rushed all the way here from Anh City, and I didn’t get a wink of sleep. The minute I landed, I came here to see you, only to hear you telling me you’re marrying someone else?”

She wasn't sure whether it was because the room was dark, but while Weston was saying all of this, she saw a sorrowful expression on his face.

But it was only a fleeting moment.

Perhaps she had seen wrong, she thought.

There was no way people like him could be sad.

“I never wanted you to come back.” She shook her head with firmness.

The whole room went pin-drop silent as there was no other sound.

Stella could only sense the passing time as Weston was puffing smoke.

Seeing that he didn’t say a word and kept quiet,

    There was a familiar voice.“Ella, are you in there?”They seemed to be speaking in the direction of the toilet.Stella’s eyes went wide in an instant.Justin came to look for her.Justin came out to seek her after she had been gone for quite some time and the food had all been served.Before leaving, he ordered Bryce to not go anywhere.Bryce nodded like a good boy.But right after Justin left, his face fell, and he took out his phone.After some thought, he sent the text out.Not long later, he received a phone call.Bryce's eyes widened as he turned to face the direction Justin had just left, cautiously answereing the phone only after he was certain that Justin wouldn’t return.“Mom…” he opened his mouth and called her in a very pitiful voice.At first, Tina didn't notice the sadness in Bryce's voice since the room was extremely loud. However, after clearly hearing it, she instantly grasped the phone, signaled to the people surrounding her and headed outside to the balc

    "Just go," replied the coworker as he waved his hand. "You folks with kids are a pain."She wasn't upset since they were so close. However, if the same remarks had come from others, she would have fought them.Tina sighed. “I’m so sorry. If you’re in trouble next time, I’ll cover up for you as well.”......At the restaurant.Justin was still walking down the hallway. When no one replied, he pulled out his phone and dialed Stella's number.Inside the dark room, her phone lit up.Before it could ring, Stella jumped forward and immediately rejected the call.She didn’t want Justin to find out that she was in a room with Weston.Afraid that the drag racing incident might happen again, she didn't want anybody to be injured.With a placid expression, Weston observed the whole thing. When he saw how terrified she was, he became delighted. "Are we cheating?"He purposely whispered the last word besides her ears, provoking her.She shoved him away with her hand. She would occasiona

    Weston lifted his hand and traced Stella's brows with his fingers before moving down the corner of her eyes and landing on her lips before leaning in and kissing her.She took a deep breath and her body shook more than before. "He's outside!" she said, her voice trembling."What are you going to do if I want to mess with you?" He raised her chin and placed his lips against hers, his voice filled with provocation and assertiveness.She kept backing away, but she had nowhere to escape.“Open your mouth,” she heard him coercing in her ear.His voice was tempting, yet it seemed more like a demand than a plea. He then reached his hands into the hem of her shirt.It seemed as if Justin could feel what was going on and was yelling even more furiously at the door. “Is there anyone inside? I’m coming in now!”Having a sense of the situation, Justin started to lose patience and became angry. "If you're inside, Ella, please reply."Stella opened her mouth, but it was immediately covered b

    "He only knows how to sound tough, but what does it matter?" Weston mumbled. "Who's the person in front of you?" he said, his lips moving up Stella's cheeks and slowly reaching her ears.In Stella’s eyes, he was no better than a devil. “You disgust me! I really wish I never met you.”She had said these words a million times, and every time, she was speaking the truth.The only difference this time was the hatred in her voice was obvious. “I will kill you!” she spat, through gritted teeth.If she had the chance, she would make him pay a hundred times over for all the humiliation she was enduring at that moment.She had lowered herself for him and had taken in all that humiliation, yet he still pushed her to this point.He was reckless before this because she still loved him, but now that she didn't, he wouldn’t let her go.She gave him a harsh stare and clenched her teeth. "I hate you, Weston. I hate you!"“Then so be it,” he sighed before adding, “At least it is better than not

    “Weston! Let go of Ella!”He was a man so he naturally knew what Weston was thinking.Weston would most likely do something to Stella in such a circumstance.At this moment, Justin's face had darkened entirely. He caught sight of the fire extinguisher hanging on the wall and, without thinking, grabbed it and slammed it against the door.The deafening pound drew a lot of attention, prompting one of the waiters to run over. "Hello sir. Having any problems? Please calm down, there are still guests in the private rooms...""Go away!" Justin pushed her aside, still slamming the fire extinguisher on the door.The force propelled the waitress backward and she hit the wall before falling to the floor. "Manager, there's a guest causing a ruckus," she remarked, pulling out her walkie-talkie. "Call security!"“Do you hear what’s happening outside?”Inside the room, Weston was as calm as ever, as though he didn’t care about the cacophony that rumbled outside.He held Stella’s chin in

    The next second.The door burst open.There was a loud crash as if something heavy had smashed on the ground.The fire extinguisher rolled on the floor before it hit the wall with a clang.Justin gazed around the room, eyes bloodshot and heaving.The room was dark.Clothes were scattered on the floor.Weston sat on the sofa and stared at him without any emotions.A petite figure covered by a large coat sat in his arm, shaking violently.Without thinking, Justin marched forward and commanded, “Give her back to me.”Weston's hard stare fell on him. "She was always mine."Both men, refusing to back down, went head-on.Justin’s patience ran out as he took a step forward and attempted to forcefully pull Stella to him.Weston, however, ducked and quickly grabbed a bottle of red wine and slammed it into Justin's skull with a sickening crack.A streak of blood streamed down Justin’s face.But he didn't seem to notice. The blood trickled down and covered his left eye. He moved hi

    Stella immediately stood up and ran towards Justin without hesitation.Weston's eyes darkened, then dulled as he watched her run to him.He stood up and gently adjusted his watch.Justin noticed his movement and saw the watch on his wrist.If he wasn't mistaken, the watch was worth a villa.Weston wasn’t in the habit of bragging, but Justin saw it as an insult.He instantly realized how much of a gap there was between his ability and Weston's.He had always thought he was living in decent conditions but quickly realized that he was nothing compared to Weston.His feeling of helplessness intertwined with his need to protect Stella, causing a passionate determination that he had never felt in 40 years to ooze out of himHe held her in his arms and placed one hand on her back in a protective gesture. "Ella and I will pick up the marriage certificate tomorrow. As for what happened today, your behavior can be regarded as harassment. I wonder if you have time to go to the police st

    His tone was frigid, and his whole demeanor exuded desperate tension.His rage was different this time. Previously, it was a fight between two men for a woman.But now that it had affected his kid, his rage only became stronger.“Weston, where did you bring Bryce to?”Weston maintained his calm demeanor. His eyes narrowed with alarm as he looked at Stella standing beside Justin. "Didn't your ex-wife claim that the waiter took him? What does any of this have to do with me? You should inquire the waiter."When he was done, he turned to face the manager, who was standing nearby.The manager had his head down, daring to look at no one.Seeing this, Justin immediately understood what was happening. “Why would you do this to a child?”For a high-end restaurant like this, the investor almost certainly had business contacts with Weston, so even if Justin wanted to call the cops, it was too late, and Weston would never allow him.Justin wasn't naive, but he had become naive for Stella,

    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
