Maybe it was because Stella's acting skills had been so great lately.

Weston thought that their relationship was improving, and they might one day go back to their old days.

But the phone call reminded him that there was a life lying between them.

That was something Stella would never be able to let go of.

It was like a dead-end for Weston, and there was no way to get past it.

He could only subconsciously ignore it and leave everything to time.

When he thought of this, he sneered at himself.

When did he become so powerless?

It seemed that he was always the helpless one when dealing with Stella.

She did not seem to want to talk to him about the baby either.

She was ready initially, but she simply got up and walked to him. She adjusted his collar and took his coat. “You are a little late today. Busy day at work?”

He lowered his head and looked steadily into her eyes, trying to read her emotions—but to no avail.

She was indeed very good at acting, and she could hide all her e

    Weston froze for a moment. He got up, bent his knees, and looked down at the long scar around her waist.“Does it hurt?”His calloused slender fingers ran through her skin and the scar.She closed her eyes. She didn’t know if it was the medication, but she felt an uncontrollable itch and twisted her head to the other side.“Not anymore. It stopped hurting a long time ago.”Weston did not believe her words and kissed her scar reverently.She disliked the way he worshipped her like some treasure; as though he loved her so much.Deep down inside, she knew he was the most heartless man one could ever meet.Her body heated up but her heart remained cold.The body, however, yearned for him uncontrollably.She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.Surprised by her action, he looked down at her and suddenly noticed that her face had an unnatural redness.He frowned and asked in concern, “Feeling unwell?”She shook her head, unable to speak. When she opened her mouth, s

    They might not have any more children in the future.He did not want them either.There was nothing wrong with just the two of them staying that way.Weston could not understand Stella’s obsession with children.Even now, he only regretted a little losing the child. However, if there was a choice to do it all over again, he would have made a different decision.Regardless, there were no ‘ifs’ in this world.He never dwelled on the what-ifs but always seized the moment.Stella sniggered.It was because of him that she’d become like this.She closed her eyes. Tears rolled down from its corners, but they quickly evaporated at her temples. She reached out and hooked her hand around the man’s neck.It was as if the padlock was finally unlocked by the correct key. Everything was crazy.And dyed in charming colors.She knew there was no way she could turn back.With him, she could only fight like Kilkenny cats and there was no way to retreat unscathed.…Guinevere tried to call

    Guinevere had just gotten home when Wendy came with Zachary in her arms. “I thought you weren’t coming home today.”“Why not? This is where I live.”Wendy chuckled and reverted to her old, aloof self.Guinevere sometimes felt that she wasn’t the one who had lost control of her emotions, but Wendy.Otherwise, why was she unable to figure out this woman’s mind?She was about to return to her room when Wendy suddenly called her. “By the way, the actress in the cast named Ella…”Hearing Ella’s name, Guinevere stopped dead in her tracks. “What are you asking her for?”She seemed very sensitive at the mention of that name. To her, that person was like a time bomb. Her face looked so much like Stella and even her name sounded so similar; if it were not for the DNA test that proved that they weren’t the same person, she would’ve really thought that Stella had come back for revenge with a new identity.“Why are you so worked up? She is just an actress.”Wendy did not expect such a big

    But when the call got through, and she heard the man’s raspy voice, Guinevere did not know what to say.“Yes?” Weston sounded a bit irritated. “What’s the matter?”Guinevere paused for a moment before saying, “Why didn’t you answer the phone when I called you just now?”“I was in a meeting.” He glanced at his watch. “What the hell is going on?”“Nothing…” She was uneasy and a little sad because of his attitude.“I just want to talk to you.”There was a long silence.“Guinevere, I’m in the middle of something.” “I know.” Guinevere rubbed her eyebrows. “Your mother brought Zachary to the set today.”“So?”“Can you come once too?”He paused for a moment and said, “I will let Ben arrange for it. If I have time, I will go.” “Really?”Her eyes lit up.She realized that she seemed ever more submissive, hoping that Weston would actually look at her for once.“So you are not returning to Ahn City for a while?” “Yes.”After getting confirmation from him, she was relieved ye

    Her hands were shaking, but she had little choice. “Don’t blame me for being ruthless. It was you who did a bad job after taking my money. You should have fallen to your death that day. There is no point in living like this now. Just let me help you to depart.”The ECG machine beside her suddenly emitted a piercing beep.She was startled, and the syringe fell out of her hand.But it did not matter.Hastily, she picked it up and shoved it into her bag.To be on the safe side, she had brought an extra vial. A small enough was sufficient to exterminate a healthy adult, let alone a dying man.Sure enough, the ECG rate fluctuated, and the wave gradually flattened into a line after the ear-splitting sound.She took a deep breath while watching the man struggling on the bed.After a while, it was a dead silence.She reached out her hand to probe under his nose. There was no more breathing.Half an hour later, she left the ward.What she did not know was that another man arrived s

    Stella’s husky, confused voice turned Weston on. He leaned over and planted a deep and passionate kiss on her lips. She was almost out of breath when he finally let her go.“What’s that?” Stella asked, still in a daze. “What are you doing? It’s uncomfortable.”“Don’t move,” Weston commanded. “I’m taking your temperature. Did you catch a cold?”“No,” Stella shook her head.“But your body has been hot and cold these past two days. Are you sure you’re not sick?”Stella shook her head again.“I feel fine...” she insisted.The medicine worked really well when she took it last night, and she hardly experienced any negative side effects. Even Weston noticed that she was especially compliant last night, although he would have never suspected it was the effect of the drug.“You must tell me if you’re feeling unwell, okay?” he told her while stroking her hair gently.“Okay…” Stella replied simply, aroused by Weston’s warm breath on her face. Stella usually took her medicine early in t

    The next day, Stella was woken up by the sound of a familiar ringtone.It seemed someone had been trying to reach Weston since last night. His phone had been ringing all night, but neither of them had paid any attention.Stella glanced at Weston, who was still fast asleep. It was the first time that he slept more soundly than her. She reached over and grabbed his phone. Her eyes darkened when she saw the name of the caller on the screen.Just as she silently stared at the phone, Weston opened his eyes. Stella happened to look over, and her eyes met with his stormy ones.“Why aren’t you answering the phone?” he asked with a faintly hoarse voice while looking straight at her as though trying to plumb the depths of her soul.“It’s your phone,” she replied, handing it to him.Half propped up on his elbows, Weston pulled Stella into his arms so that she would lean on his chest. Then with his other hand, he reached out of the blanket and answered the phone.“What is it?” he asked.“F

    Weston was so blunt that it rendered Stella speechless for a moment. Then, she burst out laughing.“Are you kidding me?” Stella asked incredulously. “He’s your friend! I’ve nothing to do with him! Am I not even allowed to ask a simple question?”“It’s best that you’ve nothing to do with him,” Weston held her in his arms and stroked her hair. “I want it to stay that way.”He had no idea why he would be so possessive of her, and he simply couldn’t bear to see her being even mildly interested in other men.“You’re mine, Stella. You’re mine alone.”Stella merely found those words amusing and thought nothing of it.“By the way,” she added casually after a long pause, “I heard you guys talking about a… kidnapper? What was that about?”The way she put it sounded as if she cared little about it, but Weston could clearly see that she was keenly interested from how her eyes darted in excitement.He sighed and kissed her forehead.“Do you still remember that day… when you fell from that

    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.
