“You said it yourself—it’s just a woman who looks very much like me. There are so many people in the world who look like me. Must I care about every single one?”

Guinevere’s brows furrowed, clearly, not used to dealing with such a sharp-tongued Stella. “You’re right.”

Stella put down her coffee cup and boldly surveyed Guinevere.

Guinevere, the famous celebrity, indeed. She was always so impeccably dressed and eye-catching, never allowing anyone else to steal the attention away from her.

Guinevere wasn’t very pleased with the way that Stella was staring at her.

The Ella now was indeed very different from the Stella then.

She realized that she would still subconsciously compare Ella with Stella.

Guinevere clenched her fists. Suddenly, she opened her mouth, “Actually, I specially came over today to chat with you regarding Stella Sealey.”

“Ms. Cohen, what makes you think that I’ll be interested to listen about it?”

“Listening to gossip is something that everyone likes to

    Guinevere did not take Stella’s words to heart. She smiled and said, “I know that the woman was heartbroken, but she would hurt deeper the more she remains obsessed with a man like Weston. “I was very clear that the longer things dragged out, the greater harm it would bring her. That was why I tried to settle the entire issue as quickly as possible. What I didn’t expect was for that woman to be so reluctant to let go. Afterward, I was kidnapped together with her, and the kidnappers were only willing to let one of us go. Weston decided to choose me, and that woman decided to jump down from the building as revenge on Weston… “But it was not Weston’s fault, and revenge was unsuccessful.” A glint flashed past the depths of Stella’s eyes, but she did not say anything further. Guinevere’s gaze landed on her belly. “I was about to give birth. I am of the rare Hh blood group and can only have one child in my whole life. Weston holds the child in high regard and could not afford to sp

    Guinevere saw the subtle change in Stella’s expression, and she gradually straightened herself up, “Ella…” Stella composed herself, hiding all traces of emotions from her face. She rested her chin on her hands and asked pensively, “Ms. Cohen, why are you sharing all these with me?” Guinevere’s chest that had tightened upon seeing the expression on Stella’s face just now relaxed. This Ella always gave a strange vibe, and she couldn’t help but associate her with Stella. Now that she observed her reaction towards her words, she looked like she genuinely did not care about what happened to Stella…was she really not Stella? Guinevere opened her mouth, “Pardon me, it must be because I think you look so much like her that I couldn’t help but share a little more…” “There’s no point sharing so much with me. I’m not her.” Stella cut her off, “Also, I’m not so close to you, Ms. Cohen. Not everyone throws themselves at every famous celebrity they come across and clamor to hear such m

    The look in his eyes was terrifying. With the restricted space in the car, Stella could feel the chill in her bones. She looked coldly at the man before her, and whatever remnant of past affection she had for him instantly vanished. “I said, can you please stop… mm!” Before she could repeat her entire sentence, Weston pressed his fingers against her lips. His body hovered over hers, almost covering her entire body. There was a split second where he almost wanted to cover her mouth with his when he heard the words he hated. Yet, he decided against that and simply put his fingers to her lips with a dark look in his eyes. “Stella Sealey, don’t anger me.” Their gazes locked. Stella couldn’t help but tremble. She clenched her fists, her guard clearly up. Weston remained in the position for a long time and, as if suddenly losing interest, he sat up straight and said, “Sit tight.” After what had happened, Stella knew how unpleasant this man’s temperament was.She didn’t w

    “You could have rejected her invitation.” “Even if I did, she would be able to find another way to probe me,” Stella said mockingly, “Mr. Ford, you’re very similar to her. You should be aware of how people like you and Ms. Cohen behave. Even though I refuse to meet with you, I find myself in your car against my will.” Free will was a false notion given the difference in their status. It was a pity that Stella only understood this cruel reality after paying a hefty price. The car stopped in a suburban neighborhood. It was a relatively deserted place, with no cars in sight even after a long period. Weston flicked the ashes of his cigarette as smoke wrapped around his fingers. The deep, dark lines along his side profile looked even more mysterious under the smoke. Stella waited for a long while, but he never opened his mouth.She unfastened her seatbelt. “Mr. Ford, what exactly do you want?” “Keep away from Gwen.” The four words sliced through her heart like a knife.

    Now, she had a temperament that contrasted starkly with that of the past. Weston knew that clearly, but he did not want her to get used to behaving like this. He could only accept people obeying his orders. He still preferred how submissive she used to be. “I repeat: Get in the car.” The silvery black luxury car inched forward alongside the lone woman walking on the road. Weston followed right next to her, staring straight ahead without looking at her, “Stella Sealey, don’t be a fool.” He gave an ultimatum, “There are no taxis for hire around. Do you intend to just walk home?” Stella slowed down in her steps and looked at him, “So what? What does it have to do with you?” Upon her words, an engine revving rang into the night sky. Weston stepped on the accelerator and sped off without a word. In the wake of the smell of burnt rubber and flying dust, Stella was stunned for a moment by the car that left so suddenly, then she chuckled self-derisively. Weston Ford was t

    The woman yelled out curses as the car receded into the distance. Stella looked away. She was about to leave when she heard the woman shouting at her.“Hey! What’s your name?”Stella paused her steps. She turned around and looked at the woman but said nothing.“Why are you all alone in such a place?” the woman continued, not minding that Stella didn’t answer her question. “Hmph! I bet you got dumped by a scumbag just like me, didn’t you?”Stella raised her brows. The woman wasn’t wrong… She shrugged wearily.“Do you want to walk home together?” Stella asked.“No,” the woman shook her head. “It’s your lucky day. I just called someone to pick me up. You can come along with us.”Stella gave it a good thought before she finally agreed.“Thank you,” she said earnestly.“Oh, don’t worry about it. We’re in the same boat, after all! Remember this, my friend. Let’s never get involved with scumbags, ever again!”“Yes,” Stella laughed. “I agree!”Meanwhile, in the car on the road ahead

    Back at the Ford mansion, Guinevere had just gotten the report. She turned each page slowly, scrutinizing each and every word.They really were two different people. But how was that possible? It was indeed an outcome that she had hoped for, but it was all too outlandish. But still, everything had been spelled out in black and white, in the report in front of her, so it had to be true.Guinevere sighed in relief. Thank goodness she wasn’t that woman. Thank goodness Ella Steele was just Ella Steele after all. As long as she wasn’t Stella Sealey, she would pose no threat to her. She was just a woman who looked like Stella, that was all. Nothing to be worried about.“What are you doing?” Weston asked, appearing seemingly out of nowhere just as she sighed.Guinevere’s heart skipped a beat but she managed to stay calm and show no emotions.“Nothing,” she replied, getting up and pretending to be tidying up the desk. “I was just reading my scripts.”Weston usually showed no interest i

    Guinevere grinned happily and gazed at Weston, then at Zack.“Really?” she asked. “I wouldn’t have noticed it if you didn’t mention it! Do they really look alike?”“Of course they do!” replied the nanny, nodding repeatedly. “They’re father and son, after all!”Guinevere was visibly overjoyed by this.Meanwhile, Wendy stared at her son and studied his face closely.“No,” she suddenly said. “I don’t think he looks that much like Weston. He looks more like his grandfather!”Those words silenced the whole room. The air grew instantly tense. Only Wendy seemed oblivious as she was busy scrutinizing Zack’s eyebrows.“Look at these thick eyebrows,” she continued, “and these dark eyes! He looks just like his grandpa, doesn’t he?”Weston turned dead silent. His Adam’s apple moved, but he said nothing. His eyes were more piercing now than ever, but he wasn’t looking at Zack and much less Guinevere. They were, however, glued to his mother’s face, searching for the smallest trace of anomaly

    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.
