Guinevere’s cautious and confused expression made Wendy laugh on the inside.

However, she didn’t show it. She merely patted the back of Guinevere’s hand with a kind look on her face. “No way. We’ll be family soon, so I won’t be as courteous toward you as I would with guests. But if you mind it…”

Guinevere was surprised and quickly said, “I don’t mind. I just thought you had some misunderstanding toward me… I’m sorry.”

She looked Wendy in the eyes, but then averted her gaze out of guilt. Then, she picked up a glass and held it to her lips as if trying to conceal her emotions.

On the balcony, Chris drew the curtains of the French windows. Weston snorted a laugh. “Are you feeling guilty? Afraid that someone would overhear?”

When it was only the two of them, Chris no longer put on airs, but instead looked exhausted. “I know you feel aggrieved about this… But Gwen loves you so much, and the child… it still has the Ford family’s blood flowing in its veins, and you’re somehow related…

    Ben stared at her in confusion. He had never expected Stella to make a request of him.Moments later, he came to a realization. “Mr. Sealey has agreed to Mr. Ford’s suggestion. He will change his name and relocate to another city with you. Mr. Ford will also bear all of his medical bills henceforth, including a compensation fee for you.”Then, he reported an acceptable number.The corner of Stella’s mouth twitched. This amount was enough to make her the richest person in small towns. “Since Roger has agreed, we’ll go with that.” She closed her eyes before abruptly opening them again. “There’s one person I’d like to see.”“Who?”“The culprit who had kidnapped me that day.”Ben fell silent as he stared at her with conflict in his eyes.Stella found it amusing. “What? Are you afraid that I’ll insist on going through with my evil desires and scheme against Guinevere?”She understood well that Weston wouldn’t believe her. No one in the world would anymore.No matter how many time

    Those words caused Weston to brush his hand against his face. The corner of his lips twitched when he saw the smear of blood that appeared on the back of his hand.“She certainly didn’t pull her punches…”The image of Stella as she appeared to him just moments ago popped up in his mind. Thinking of their recent meeting, Weston languidly massaged his temples.He always knew Stella couldn’t possibly only want to see him. According to his plans, things should’ve wrapped up nicely after he sent Stella and Roger away. They should’ve gotten back on track.Yet, when Ben suddenly told him about Stella, he completely sidetracked and did what he never planned—agreeing to come to the hospital.The fact that she rejected him was another expected outcome.Weston closed his eyes. The stormy turmoil inside him that started when he saw Stella falling off the building had calmed significantly after learning she was safe. However, now, it was showing signs of returning.He had no idea why he was

    Every time Stella had that nightmare, a faceless child would be standing in front of her, trembling. She would try to get a better look at the child, but the thick, white fog would surround them. The moment she reached out her hand to touch the child, the entire scene would disappear in a puff of smoke. When the fog cleared, what she would see next would be the last thing she wished to see. It was that dreadful scene that would shatter her heart into a million pieces.“You have one choice between the two. Who do you choose?”“I choose Gwen… She’s afraid of heights…”“...”Each word pierced into her heart like a real knife, tormenting her with excruciating pain, even though she was actually dreaming.The scene changed. Suddenly, she was lying on the street. Her lower body was covered in blood. Her child was slowly flowing out of her body. Meanwhile, not so far away, two shadowy figures were in a sweet embrace, mockingly trampling her and her baby’s misery and tragedy…Stella sat u

    Yvonne’s husband was transferred back to Fern City, so she naturally followed suit. She had never been able to find a suitable replacement for Stella after she left the training center that she founded for fun in Ahn City. Thus, coupled with other factors, she finally decided to close the training center in Ahn City and move everything to Fern City instead.The training center had only started operating recently, and apart from a few acquaintances, Yvonne was still recruiting new teachers. Simultaneously, Stella had just moved there and was looking for a job. As fate would have it, they bumped into each other.Sometimes, the world was just that small.Yvonne couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Stella.“Stella Sealey?” she cried. Her face turned pale as if she’d just seen a ghost. “But aren’t you already…?”Yvonne and Stella had never been all that close. Still, Stella’s talent and dedication to her job left a good impression on Yvonne. Upon receiving the news of Stella’s death,

    That day, Yvonne didn’t go straight home. She usually did when she got off work. Instead, she went to Stella and asked if she would like to go shopping.Stella thought about it for a while and accepted Yvonne’s invitation. She had just got off the phone with Roger, who told her that he was going to a party with his classmates that evening. Since they were starting a new life in a new city, Stella thought it would be a good idea to make new friends, and she agreed to go out with Yvonne.“My husband invited some guests to dinner this evening,” Yvonne told Stella, “and I really don’t have anything to wear! Will you help me choose something nice?”“Sure,” replied Stella. “But I must warn you that my fashion sense is pretty lousy!”It had been ages since Stella was as relaxed as this when she and Yvonne spent time together. It even helped Stella forget all her pain and heartaches, even if only temporarily. They had so much fun that day that Yvonne was reluctant to part ways when it was

    “Can you believe this guy?” grumbled Yvonne. She shot a glare at Lucas. “He’s always like that. He never talks. All he cares about is reading medical journals all day… Please don’t mind the nerd, Ella!”Stella chuckled.“You two make such a great pair!” she exclaimed.“You think so?” Yvonne replied. She seemed a little surprised, though it was obvious that Stella’s words pleased her very much. “I guess you’ve got a keen eye after all!”She poked her husband with an elbow as she spoke, adding, “Ella thinks we make a great couple. What do you think?”“Whatever makes you happy,” Lucas replied without even looking up from his tablet.Yvonne was all too happy to let Lucas’s lukewarm reply ruin her mood. Hence, she just turned her attention to Stella and continued chatting with her for the rest of the journey.In almost no time, they reached their destination, where Stella found herself at a lofty mansion. She wondered why rich people loved living in mansions so much. In fact, this ma

    After that, Yvonne changed into her new clothes. She loved wearing red because it contrasted nicely with her snowy white skin and accentuated her striking facial features. Wearing her new dress, Yvonne looked bewitchingly stunning. Even Stella couldn’t take her eyes off her.The two women had been in the room for so long that Lucas had to come up and rush them himself.“Hurry up!” he barked as he banged on the door. “They’re here!”Yvonne gathered up the hem of her dress and rushed to the door when she heard her husband’s voice. As soon as she opened the door, Lucas was visibly taken aback by the sight of his beautiful wife. However, he only showed it by raising his eyebrows slightly. The anger on his face dissipated a little, and he didn’t sound as impatient as he did before.“Can’t you hurry up a little?” he asked. Yvonne had many bad habits, but her lack of punctuality got on Lucas’s nerves the most. He would often nag at her for never being on time for anything.Yvonne knew

    Lucas waited for his wife to sit before taking a seat next to her; his expression stoic and unchanged the entire time. “She’s Yvonne’s friend,” Lucas told Weston as he sat down. “Don’t mind it too much.”Stella frowned ever so slightly when she heard the word “stranger” coming from Weston’s mouth, but she still wouldn’t look at him. She sat down stiffly at the dining table, her ears ringing from the absurdity of the situation. Never in a thousand years would she have guessed that Lucas’s guests were Weston Ford and Guinevere Cohen. Weston had noticed her the second she appeared. Naturally, Guinevere did too. The moment she saw Stella, her body stiffened, sure that she’d just seen a ghost! Blood drained from her face, and she stared at the woman in disbelief. It was only when they were all seated that she realized she was covered in goosebumps.That face… there could be no mistake. She would never forget that woman’s face! But how could Stella Sealey be here? Wasn’t she already de

    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
