She looked at the remaining food on the bowl and thought she had offended her or something. “If you don’t want to talk about it, I’ll stop asking. Why don’t you go after you eat?”

Zeta knew she could not force things.

Stella shook her head. “Sorry. My stomach has been a little sick, and I always lose appetite easily. I didn’t mean to waste food…”

“I didn’t mean it that way,” Zeta said and shut up. She found Ella to be very sensitive and disliked being misunderstood.

She hesitated a little and asked, “Where are you going? I can give you a ride. I’m off work too, and I don’t have any work this afternoon.”

Stella shook her head. “No, I can take a taxi myself.”

“Alright. I’ll walk you to the door.” Zeta sighed and did not push her anymore. “Wait for me! I’ll be done soon!”

Stella responded and stood still. She just watched Zeta from there.

Zeta ate quickly. After years of experience as a doctor, she finished the rest of her meal like a breeze.

Stella watched her eat and was a li

    Zeta looked like a smart and capable woman before, but she changed completely in front of Xavier.She became slow to respond and answered in a daze, “Okay...”When Xavier stood in front of her, she finally came to her senses again. She wanted to put her hand in the crook of his arm, but Xavier took a step back in disgust.“You just ate. You didn’t even wipe your hands.”Zeta hurriedly withdrew her hand. “I’ll go wash my hands first.”After she finished speaking, Xavier finally noticed Stella standing beside Zeta. He froze for a moment. “Ella?”He cocked his eyebrow in surprise. “What a small world, running into you in such a place… Eh? You know Zeta?”When Zeta heard that, she stopped in her tracks.She looked at Stella and Xavier. “You two… know each other?”Xavier’s playful voice sounded meaningful. “More than that.”Stella’s face turned a little ugly. She was not warm toward Xavier. She looked at Zeta and said, “Doctor, since you’re busy, I’ll leave now…”“What? Why are y

    Meanwhile, at the cafeteria entrance.It was the first time that Xavier’s action upset Zeta a little. She asked, “Why are you so against her?”Then, she uttered, “You haven’t told me. How did you meet her?” Xavier sneered, “You just have to know one thing. This kind of woman isn’t simple. You should stay away from her.”He did not really want to tell her much about Weston.Zeta was very pure. All she did from childhood to adulthood was study. When she grew up, she went straight to work in the hospital. She was dedicated to her work and had a simple private life. It was inappropriate to share these with her.Zeta gave him a rare scowl. “You refuse to say anything, and you're so rude to my friend. I know you don’t like me, but there’s no need to belittle me like this.” Xavier froze for a moment. He did not expect her to say that.He became a little annoyed and lit a cigarette. “I’ve always been like this. If you don’t like it, you can tell your grandparents. I promise I won’t a

    Stella had been thinking about Roger’s study. She had to find out more about Roger’s offer to study abroad.When she arrived at Fern University, it was still school time.Stella went straight to the school office. There was a teacher there for parents. She approached the information desk. “Hello, I’d like to inquire about the offer to study abroad.”The intern teacher politely told her, “Mr. Hall is in charge of this. You can go to his office.” With that, she showed her the way.Stella hesitated a little and finally went to Justin’s office. She had been there before and was familiar with the way. She stood at the door and knocked.“Come in.”Stella pushed the door open and walked in. Immediately, she met with a woman.Tina was stunned. She was leaving in a hurry and did not expect Stella to come in.“Why are you here?” Her tone sounded a little odd. Justin was tidying up his desk. When he heard that, he looked up and was surprised to see Stella too.“Ella?” He stood up and w

    Justin watched her actions thoughtfully but said nothing. He told her to sit down across the desk.“You came to see me. I assume you have some business?”Stella nodded. “I wanted to ask about Robb’s offer to study abroad.” Justin could probably tell her intentions. He wanted to cut to the chase, but after thinking about it, he decided to explain.“Sorry about earlier. Tina and I have a little disagreement. She has no problem with you. She’s just unhappy with me.”Stella was actually a little curious about Justin’s matters with Tina. She asked politely, “Mr. Hall, why are you guys always so tense? When you divorced, didn’t you separate peacefully?”Justin understood her implication and laughed at himself mockingly. “Actually, it wasn't that bad. It was a peaceful breakup. There were no major conflicts or cheating…”The two were still making efforts to keep the family steady even the day before the divorce. “Then why did you get divorced anyway?” Justin could not explain cl

    After that, Roger turned to leave. No matter how Stella shouted behind him, he would not turn around.Stella did not even have time to eat and rushed after him.When she was going down the steps, she accidentally sprained her leg. Justin followed behind her and gave her a hand.“Are you okay?”“I’m fine.”Stella subconsciously pushed his hands away.When she wanted to move forward, Justin said behind her, “He’s not going to listen to anything in this situation. Let’s forget it and talk to him when he's calmed down…”Stella listened to him and calmed down. She also knew that Roger would not listen to anything she said now. She could only sigh.“I’ll talk to him later. Thank you for your time today, Mr. Hall…”“No worries. He’s my student too.”Justin paused a little and added, “No matter what, I will not leave his affairs unattended.”“Thanks, Mr. Hall.” Stella did not know if he was implying something else by his words. Even if there was, she could not understand it. Justin

    “Is that so?” Stella got excited. “He has always been very smart, especially in this field. He used to pester our parents to buy a computer for him when he was a child. Anyway, they did not agree to it because they were worried that he might get addicted to computer games. He even threw a tantrum because of that.”Listening to her talking about Roger, Justin relaxed gradually. “I have seen a lot of siblings that are not close because of parental favoritism.”She was aware of this as well.However, she was the lucky one. “My parents treated us equally since we were young, so we have always been close. They let us make our own decisions on most things. Like when I said that I liked playing the piano, they bought me the best piano, and when I said that I liked dancing, they sent me to the best dance academy. Robb is different. He likes computers. My parents did not let him have one because they were worried about him getting addicted to it; that was why he always said that they favored

    She struggled for a while.She did not expect Weston to come here at this time. “Didn’t you say you weren’t coming back tonight?”“If I didn’t, you would come and look for Justin, huh? It seems you have been plotting it for a long time.” He seemed to be enraged and blamed everything on her. “If I hadn't asked the chauffeur to come here, how long would you flirt with him?“Stella, I never noticed that you actually like to do this.”The man was gritting his teeth. “Is a forty-year-old man more attractive to you? Or is it that you find it fulfilling to be someone’s stepmother?”Perhaps he was really angry, seeing that all the humiliating words were coming out of his mouth.Her face grew pale as she listened. Suddenly, she raised her hand and hit him hard.He dodged it, and the slap landed on his shoulder, making a loud crisp sound.The chauffeur in front knowingly raised the partition.Her breathing was short, and her eyes were red. Glaring at him, she said, “At this point, wh

    Weston gently kissed her on the side of her hair. “Don’t worry. I won’t touch you just yet.”He said in a hoarse voice, “I will wait until the day you are willing.”Lying in his arms, Stella listened to his heartbeat and thought to herself sarcastically, 'Never. That day will never come.'...In the old mansion of the Taylors.Though Xavier and Zeta were not on good terms, they still visited the two elders filially.Zeta’s grandparents had always doted on her.She was the youngest granddaughter in the family and grew up under their watchful eyes.In fact, they never agreed on the marriage between her and Xavier. But because she loved him, they went along with her wishes.The car slowly drove into the mansion.When she got out of the car, she went to Xavier and took his arm.This time, he did not push her away.Instead, he courteously took her inside.He knew that they had to act as if they had a good relationship in front of the elders.No matter how outrageous their repu

    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.
