Roger sat down next to the hospital bed and took Stella’s hand. “Sis.”

No one knew how frightened he was when he received the call and heard that Stella had fallen from a platform several meters above the ground while filming a movie. She was the only family he had left. He did not want anything to happen to her.

After their parents passed away, the two of them became dependent on each other. Stella would not have had such a hard time if it was not for his disease. She used to be such a cheerful and good girl, and she always wore a smile on her face. She was so proud and beautiful, cherished like the princes in their family. However, she suffered so much because of him.

Stella would not have married Weston so easily if it were not for his medical bills. She would not have had to suffer so much and be abandoned by Weston. Roger almost lost Stella. Since then, the fear of losing her lingered. It would never go away.

The incident when Stella fell from the building traumatized him. He

    Bradley was a little touched by Roger’s sincere concern for Stella. He had produced many movies, mostly about love. Love was powerful. Many people in the world just could not escape the greatness of love.Love had always been an unchanging topic from ancient times, which proved the human’s endless pursuit of love. Today, Bradley felt the charm of family love. The love between family members bound by blood included sincere affection and deep love from the heart. It was no less than romantic love.This inspired him. Perhaps, he could explore the theme of family love in his next movie production. “I’ll go pay the bill. You can stay here with your sister. Call me when she wakes up.”With that, he took his phone and exchanged contact information with Roger. Bradley was hesitant to give Roger his phone number. After all, he was a public figure. Many people, including the nurse, recognized him in public places such as a hospital. However, Bradley put that doubt to rest after thinki

    “Also, she’s quite hard working and honest. She doesn’t seem like someone who would take shortcuts.” Bradley’s comment appeared like a complement to Stella. In fact, he was telling Weston that his choice was based on the consideration of the movie, not because of any connection or shady relationships.Ultimately, Weston was still an investor in his movie. Guinevere was the only female lead of the film and joined capital into the production group. She was also Weston’s fiancée. For Bradley, it was an art to talk to the investors. Besides, Stella was pure and clean without any ulterior motive. He must not let Weston misunderstand their relationship. Otherwise, Stella might not be able to act in any film in the future.Stella did not come from a professional background. If she left such an impression on the investors, she might not be able to secure any acting roles in the future.People like Bradley were very experienced in the entertainment industry. He was eccentric and unlike

    Bradley rarely had the patience to explain so much to a person.Roger did not make any comment. He nodded his head and said, “Thank you.”Roger was no longer as worked up as before. When he just came, he wanted to demand an explanation from Bradley. After he calmed down, he knew it was best to get along with the crew to make Stella’s life easier.“Thank you for taking care of my sister on the set…”Bradley was surprised by Roger’s sudden change of tone. It seemed like he suddenly understood how to be grateful. Upon realizing that, Bradley laughed.“You’re a lot like your sister,” Bradley commented. The siblings were not worldly at all, but they were very adaptable. It was rare to see people like them. They had hearts of gold and still knew how to adapt to survive.After the examination, the doctor said, “There is a slight concussion, but the rest isn’t a big problem.”Roger was so relieved to hear that. “Thank you, doctor.”…Soon, it was afternoon. Bradley uttered, “Both of

    Roger’s eyes flickered a little. He seemed like he wanted to say something. However, he held back his words after glancing at Stella’s expression.Roger was still reluctant about Stella’s career in the entertainment industry. She even got injured in such a big accident today. In the future…He dared not to think further. At last, Roger stood up and said, “I’ll go and buy some food. Mr. Lane, what would you like to eat?”“I’m fine with anything. Just don’t make it too spicy.” Roger nodded and left the ward. After he left, Bradley and Stella were the only ones left in the ward.“Your younger brother truly cares about you,” Bradley said.Stella smiled. “Yeah.”“I just realized that he’s the only family you have left.”Stella looked at Bradley with a smile and slightly dimmed eyes. “A few years ago, our parents died in an accident. Now, it’s just us.”“Sorry. I didn’t mean to remind you about your pain.” Stella shook her head. “It’s the truth anyway. However, it’s all in the

    Bradley was usually unpredictable and liked to scold people, but he had always been very respectful of those who had real talent.Stella could feel that, after knowing that she had won those awards, Bradley changed his tone. He was now talking to her as equal beings, rather than a superior to a subordinate.She could clearly sense his admiration for Roger as well.“Yes.” She was a little proud. “I hope he can keep furthering his studies. He's a good fit for computer science.”Bradley turned the page again casually. “I am not sure about his ability to live on his own. If he could get the placement to study abroad, he would definitely have to take care of himself. With his learning ability, learning a foreign language would not be a problem. It will depend on which country he goes to.”“Wait!” She was confused. “What do you mean?”“Don’t you know yet?” He frowned and looked at the document in his hand, making sure that he was reading it right.“This is the application form for stu

    It was then that Stella laid her eyes on Roger. “Tell me: What’s going on?”He remained silent.He served her some soup. “Have some soup first.”She looked at him quietly with a serious face.He could not bear it anymore and started explaining honestly, “Mr. Hall told me that there was a placement for studying abroad and that I could apply for it if I was interested, so he gave me this form.”Stella paused for a moment and asked, “Is that a good thing?”He nodded reluctantly. “It is, but I don’t really want to go.”“Why?”“Living abroad is not very comfortable, so I don’t really want to go. Moreover, I will be very far away from you, then I won’t have much time to come back and see you when I miss you.”This was indeed an aspect to consider, but…She asked, “Apart from this, in your mind, do you want to go?”He did not say anything. He froze for a moment and shook his head quickly. “I've never thought of going abroad. I will not fill up this form. When the time comes, I will

    There was a moment of silence in the ward.No one spoke up for a while.Stella looked at Roger somewhat blankly, as if she hadn’t expected him to have such a thought.Roger’s reaction was different from hers.He blurted out without thinking at first. But after thinking it over, he gradually thought that it might work.Why couldn’t she go abroad with him?He suddenly changed his tone and looked at her. “That’s it! You can go with me.”He grabbed her hands. “Can you come with me? I will survey some cheaper places when I apply for it. Dormitories in foreign universities are very expensive and difficult to apply for. I can rent a house outside to live with you…”She looked at him steadily. “You have even asked about the rentals. It means that you actually want to go, right?”He was speechless....She did not let him stay for long, nor did she respond to his request for her to go with him to study abroad.He still had class. After looking at the time, she urged him to go and

    It was supposed to be a word of concern, but it sounded different when he was the one who said it.Stella clenched her fists and opened her eyes. “It was just an accident. You have no right to interfere with my decision!”The man’s face sank. “Who has if I don’t?”He tilted her chin and made her look at him. Bending down, he took her in his arms. “How can I let you stay any longer after you had an accident in just a short time?”She frowned and forced herself to suppress her emotions. Looking at him calmly, she said, “Aren’t you busy today? Why did you come over?”“What do you think?” Weston asked in return.Seeing her being stubborn, he suddenly got a little upset and bit the corner of her lips. “Why are you so angry?”He already sensed that she was not in the right mood when he came in. She was a bit repulsed by him.Although her obedience was mere pretence, she was only acting like her old self, but she did not even want to do that now.She closed her eyes and suddenly chuc

    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.
