Hearing that, Guinevere pressed her lips tightly.

Weston remained silent.

At last, Chris was the one who spoke.

“It’s Weston’s responsibility to take care of Gwen. Weston, sit next to Gwen.”

Weston did not say anything, but he got up and sat next to her.

Guinevere leaned on his shoulder. “Am I keeping you from your work?”

Weston knew what to answer when so many people were watching him.

“It’s okay,” he said and remained calm and relaxed. He was the only one acting with ease.

Mrs. Cohen was pleased with her future son-in-law. However, she was annoyed at the delay in their marriage. Other than that, Weston was really a great son-in-law candidate.

He was excellent in terms of status, background, and appearance. There was no one else better than him in the circle.

A man was valued for his power and ability. Weston was the best in all that.

He was one of the most powerful men in Ahn City and Fern City. Not many could compete with him. Guinevere and Weston’s marriage would benef

    Yvonne did not want to talk to Stella about these. It would upset her.The training center was scheduled to be closed in a month. She did not know where Stella could work and felt bad for her. There was no need to upset her with the other problems.“Never mind that. I’ll pay you two times your salary.”Yvonne knew the money was a drop in the bucket compared to what Weston could provide for her. Stella was already with Weston. She was not worried about money anymore.Even so, the wages were not the same as Weston’s allowance.She figured that if Ella had more money with her, she would have more confidence.Stella understood Yvonne’s kind intention and felt complicated.She hoped she was a strong woman with courage. At least she could repay Yvonne’s kindness and not let Yvonne be humiliated by her family.The other colleagues eventually arrived at the center. Yvonne had already explained the situation to them on the phone. They did not say much and just exchanged a look.There w

    Lucas’ face sank. “You still don’t know your mistake until now?”“What did I do wrong? All I did was go out to have fun! Besides, I was the one who took Ella there. What does it have to do with her? Why are you taking it out on her?”Seeing that the couple were about to argue, Stella had to intervene.She explained, “Yvonne took me out to relax that day. We didn’t do anything there. She only watched me play the piano.” Lucas cast an indifferent glance at her. His eyes were emotionless, but Stella could feel his coldness.“I’m sure Ms. Steele has somewhere to go even if the training center is closed. With Weston, you’ll never have to worry about anything in your life. You won’t need Yvonne’s help either.”Stella’s eyes flickered for a moment. Then, she kept her eyes down. She suddenly smiled. “Yes. I do have a lot of unimaginable benefits from staying with Weston. Thank you for the reminder.”She felt guilty towards Yvonne, but not towards Lucas. Lucas did not expect Stella to

    She did not think too much and went to cook dinner instead. Roger was studying at the university nearby. He did not live in the dormitory for health reasons, but the university reserved a place for him in the dormitory.Even so, Roger spent most of his time living outside with Stella.When he came home today, he finally saw Stella’s shoes again. He was very happy.“Sis, you’re back?”Stella was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard Roger's voice, she answered him with a hum and urged, “Wash your hands! Dinner is almost ready.”She heard the sound of the door closing. After a short moment, some quick footsteps came from behind.“Have you washed your hands?” She did not look back and focused on the soup in the pot.A moment later, she felt a weight on her shoulder.Roger rested his chin on her shoulder. He closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. “Sis, you’re finally back from your business trip. I haven’t seen you for days. I missed you.”Stella chuckled and pushed his

    Roger remained silent and said nothing.Then, he suddenly reached out and rubbed Stella’s head. “Sis, can’t you forget that man?”Before he could finish his sentence, Stella interrupted him sternly, “What makes you think so?”Roger’s mouth was set into a tight line. He said nothing.After a short while, he sighed. “Sis, he treated you so badly before. Do you still want him?”“Of course not.” Stella took off her apron and hung it on one of the walls.Roger felt strange looking at her back. Somehow, she seemed to be avoiding the question.He took a deep breath and did not want to talk about that man again. She helped Stella to move all the dishes on the counter to the living room.The living room and kitchen were connected. The place they stayed was pretty small, but it was cozy enough for two.Roger had not eaten Stella’s home-cooked food for days. He kept praising her food. Stella listened to his praises and felt a little guilty. She did not dare to tell Roger where she had

    The man replied in a low voice after a long pause, “Okay.” Weston glanced in Guinevere’s direction and let out a long sigh. “I’ll have the driver go pick you up tomorrow.”Stella froze for a moment. She did not think he would agree so easily. When she was about to say something, she heard someone else talking on Weston’s end.She paused a little and asked, “Are you busy now?” Weston was still in Ford Mansion. He heard Stella’s question and wanted to answer her. But just as he was about to speak, Guinevere happened to knock on his door.Guinevere did not wait for his reply and came into the room uninvited. She walked over to him and said, “Weston, Mom and Dad only gave us a room.”Stella happened to hear Guinevere when she spoke.Stella gripped the phone tightly as she heard Guinevere’s voice.The call was disconnected in the next second, leaving only a long beep at the end of the line. Stella stared at the phone screen silently and froze. No one knew what was in her mind.

    Wendy sighed.She had just spoken for Guinevere in front of Mr. and Mrs. Cohen earlier, so she did not make things difficult for her. “You can go in and have a quick look. Go to bed early after that. You’re staying with Weston today…” Wendy suddenly paused and gave her a meaningful look. Guinevere naturally understood what she meant and said nothing. She went to the children’s room and looked at Zachary from a distance.Guinevere had left a mark on his neck when she strangled him. Her eyes were a little guilty when she saw the mark.She had mixed feelings about the boy. His arrival was a simple joy for her. However, a small hatred grew when she remembered what happened a year ago. She must not show her hatred. No one must ever know.She rested her hand on the rail of the cradle. As she clenched her fist, her fingertips almost sank into her flesh.The sudden pain cleared her mind a little.The nanny next to her had been watching her movements. When she noticed the change in he

    Guinevere almost lost control of her emotions.She thought the two of them staying in the same room would be a good start. She did not expect to make any real progress with Weston right away. However, this man refused to sleep in the same bed with her… Guinevere did not move. Weston simply ignored her. He closed his eyes and went straight to sleep. Guinevere stood by the sofa for a long time, just looking down at him.An insurmountable sadness filled her heart at this moment.She asked in a raspy voice, “Weston, can’t we go back to how we were?”This was the second time she had asked him such a question.Weston did not open his eyes. His voice was as low and cold as ever. “We’ve always been like this, Gwen. You simply forgot.”His answer did not change either. Guinevere closed her eyes as tears streamed down her cheek. He was right. They had always been like this. All this time, she had been the one obsessed and chasing him.She smiled and suddenly said, “At least you’re

    She fell in love with Weston first. She acknowledged that.The person who fell in love first and loved deeper would always suffer more. Guinevere had accepted that fact. She had come this far. It was too late for her to go back anymore.“I’m going to see a psychiatrist today. Mom, if it’s okay, can you come with me? Weston is very busy at work.”Wendy paused when she heard Guinevere referring to her as “Mom” directly. She looked up and glanced at Guinevere with a doubtful look.Guinevere acted like it was nothing strange. She just looked back at Wendy with a natural smile on her face. “What’s wrong, Mom?”Wendy withdrew her gaze and put the breakfast down from her hands. She had suddenly lost all her appetite. However, Guinevere was still waiting for her answer.After a long pause, Wendy nodded. “Sure, but remember to ask Weston to go with you next time.”“I’ll let him know when he’s not busy at work,” Guinevere promised. Wendy got up. “I’m done eating. I’ll go to the childr

    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.
