Just as the atmosphere between them mellowed down, a woman’s voice interrupted them.

“Weston, why didn’t you wait for me outside?”

The sound of high heels clicking against the floor got closer until Guinevere’s gorgeous face appeared before them.

When she noticed the two of them, she slowed down and glanced at Stella, feeling surprised. “Ms. Sealey, why are you here too? Did you need anything else?”

She stood beside Weston naturally and latched onto his arm.

Weston looked at her, frowning slightly, but he didn’t push her away. He asked, “Do you know her?”

Guinevere leaned against his arm affectionately and smiled. “We met just now. I even thought she was my fan.”

Stella felt as if she had been struck by lightning when she saw how relaxed and intimate they were. She didn’t know how to respond for a moment there.

Her lashes trembled and she dug her nails into her palms. “Mr. Ford…”

It was easy to tell that her voice was breaking. Confusion and hurt were visible in her eyes.

For some reason, Weston felt inexplicably irritated seeing her like this.

Guinevere didn’t seem to notice how strange Stella was acting, and just went on to introduce Weston with a smile, “As you can guess, he’s my fiance, and he’s here to accompany me for my prenatal care checkup.”

Stella’s mind immediately went blank.

Prenatal care checkup… ?

She looked at Guinevere’s stomach, unable to control herself as her eyes reddened. “Your child belongs to… Mr. Ford?”

“Yeah.” Guinevere nodded happily with a sweet expression. However, she suddenly realized something and stared at Stella in confusion. “You keep calling him Mr. Ford. Are you acquainted with my fiance?”

Having said that, she turned to Weston curiously as if to ask him as well.

Stella reflexively turned to Weston.

A moment later, she heard him answer coldly, “I don’t know her.”

‘I don’t know her…’

Stella took a step back. She was his wife. At least she still was right at this moment. But he had claimed to not know her in front of another woman…

Guinevere breathed a sigh of relief. “I thought you’d gained a female friend that I know nothing about!”

She seemed to be joking and angry at the same time as she added, “If it were true, I would’ve aborted your child six months ago!”

Six months ago?

Stella shuddered internally as she stared at Weston in disbelief.

They only got married six months ago, and Guinevere seemed to be about five or six months into her pregnancy…

Weston didn’t have time to consider Stella’s feelings. His eyes widened when he heard Guinevere threaten him with an abortion again, and he admonished, “Nonsense!”

Guinevere was frightened and frowned immediately. “Are you scolding me…”

Upon hearing this, Weston’s gaze softened and he said in a comforting tone, “Don’t throw a tantrum. It’s bad for the baby.”

Guinevere sniffled, looking aggrieved. “I just wanted you to coax me. If I really wanted to abort the baby, I would’ve done it six months ago instead of waiting until now.”

Having said that, she caressed her stomach and breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank God I wasn’t impulsive back then… Weston, you must be good to both of us.”

“Yeah.”

Stella seemed like an outsider as she stood there, watching her husband openly being intimate with another woman.

She had never seen this side of Weston before, nor had she ever seen him so gentle and patient with a woman.

As if a hole had been dug in her chest, all that was left was the wind whistling through. She felt cold and hurt.

So sad to jump so quickly to abortion. Babies are always a blessing. I know it’s a story but still sad.

    Stella stared at Weston with reddened eyes. She was waiting for an explanation, waiting for him to talk to her.Weston glanced at her, stopping only briefly before he retracted his gaze and showed no emotion.“Let’s go,” he said to Guinevere gently.Guinevere shrugged with a smile on her face. Then, she glanced at Stella with compassion in her eyes. Stunned, Stella was rooted to the spot as she watched them leave.

    Even with her back against him, Stella could sense his sharp gaze on her.After gagging for a bit, she realized something as well.Her period… was a few days late this month.After this thought was planted, it gradually grew out vines that enveloped her heart.What would her child with Weston be like… ?“Stella,” a man’s deep voice called, sounding forceful and seemingly probing her.Stella shuddered before snapping out of her reverie.He was going to divorce her, and Guinevere was pregnant with his child too.So it didn’t matter even if she was pregnant with his child. She even had a feeling that he would have her abort the baby without an ounce of hesitation…She dared not turn around, afraid of meeting the man’s eyes.Weston seemed impatient and stepped forward oppressively. “What’s wrong?”Stella chuckled bitterly on the inside. By the time she turned around, she was wearing a nonchalant expression. “Oh, I might have caught a cold last night, so my stomach feels unwell…”

    She had heard that Weston randomly married a woman to anger her, but she had never thought anything about it thus far. Weston grabbed her wrist and slowly pushed her away before making her sit beside him. “An unimportant person.” Guinevere’s eyes twinkled, and her lips curled up slightly. “I’m very satisfied with your answer, so I’m giving you a reward.” Having said that, she leaned over, wanting to kiss him. Her red lips were supposedly alluring, but Weston frowned instead. He subtly evaded and caressed her hair. “You have something on your mouth.” Guinevere was stunned. Shock flashed in her eyes, and then she chuckled. “It’s just lipstick… Fine, I know that you’re a germaphobe, so I’ll give you your reward after I remove my makeup.” Weston grunted in reply before moving away to get up. He picked up the suit jacket he had casually draped on the back of the sofa and said, “I have something to do. Rest well.” Guinevere leaned into the sofa and gave him a half-hearted smi

    Stella’s throat tightened, unable to digest what he had just said.After a while, she said with great difficulty, “Roger doesn’t even know Ms. Cohen. How could he possibly harm her…”“Weren’t you the one who told him?” Weston interrupted her impatiently.Stella was stunned. She explained reflexively, “I didn’t tell him anything!”She finally noticed that the man’s face was injured too. There was a tiny bruise at the corner of his mouth, though it wasn’t very obvious.It was probably Roger who had hit him.But that didn’t affect the man’s appearance at all. He looked just as exquisite, dignified, and daunting.Stella pursed her lips and took a deep breath, calming down all of a sudden. “Where is Roger? I want to see him.”“He’s fine for now. You can see him once Gwen is safe.”He had deliberately mentioned ‘for now.’ Stella clenched her fists to suppress her anxiety. “I want to see Roger or I refuse to donate blood… The hospital wouldn’t force me to donate blood if I don’t want

    Stella couldn’t help but think about when she started harboring a misconception that Weston might like her?Perhaps it was due to moments like these and the insignificant little actions. The man would catch her off guard, mess up her feelings, and then retreat coldly, leaving her all alone.After her blood had been taken, Weston released her. “You can see Roger after Gwen’s surgery is over.”Stella’s eyes widened before looking down and grunting a reply. “I got it.”He always had this ability to lift her up one second, and then trample on her the next second.The nurse packed up her tools. “Press this cotton ball here for a few minutes. You’ll be fine after the bleeding stops.”Stella stood up upon hearing this and thanked her politely.Once the nurse was gone, Stella turned to Weston. “Mr. Ford, I’ve packed up my things in the mansion. When do we go and get our divorce certification?”When he first mentioned the divorce, she had once fantasized about trying to save their marri

    It was a bright sunny day and the curtains fluttered with the wind.The man who stood by the bed blocked most of the sunlight. His elongated shadow made him seem so much taller. Stella was covered by his shadow. She slowly clenched her blanket as she regained her senses. “Pregnant…”She looked down as she mumbled.Her belly under the white blanket showed no signs of protruding.But there was a human life inside.A glint slowly appeared in Stella’s dark eyes.It had merely been her assumption, and she didn’t have time to check the pregnancy test’s result before hurrying here. But to think she was actually pregnant…She couldn’t conceal the joy on her face. Weston lit a cigarette and took a drag at it. “Are you happy about this?”Stella looked up at him upon hearing this. The man’s face was shrouded by the white smoke and his exquisite features were shaded by the light, making him look all the more stoic, dignified, and unattainable.The soft expression on her face gradually

    Before Stella could even react, she was being carried back to her bed.She was stunned as she stared at the man’s dark expression. “What are you planning to do…?”Weston pressed down on her shoulder. It was obvious that he was furious as he spoke ominously, “I should be asking you. What were you planning to do?”He clamped down on her waist and was leaning so closely into her that they were only inches apart. Stella could feel his oppressing aura. After she understood his meaning, she found it oddly amusing and said darkly, “Let me go!”She struggled to pull her wrist away but the man’s grip didn’t budge.Stella’s jaw tensed up and she abruptly raised her head to stare into his dark eyes. Her hands slowly balled into fists. “I was only enjoying the breeze. I wasn’t trying to commit suicide, so relax.”Weston still didn’t let go. Instead, he stared at her quietly as if to distinguish if she was telling the truth.A moment later, he snorted a laugh and lifted her chin, warning h

    Weston’s words were still ringing in Stella’s mind even after he had left.He was right. With her current circumstances, she couldn’t afford to raise a child on top of caring for herself and Roger.It was probably her instincts that made her want to keep the child.After learning that there was another life inside her, Stella naturally built up some sort of connection with it.She looked down at her flat stomach, feeling disappointed.“I’m sorry that I couldn’t give birth to you,” she said softly.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. She looked up and said, “Come in.”In came a young female doctor wearing black-framed glasses. She was tall and slender, and her thin face made her look dispassionate, but she had on a friendly expression.“Are you feeling better?”Stella nodded.This was probably the doctor Weston had mentioned. “Are you here to perform a checkup?”“Yeah.” The doctor went over to the balcony and pulled the curtains open.As the sunlight shone in, Stella cl

    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.
