Chapter 836

Author: Boat of Peaches
Stella was woken up the next morning by a loud noise.

To her surprise, she actually had a good night’s sleep last night despite all that had happened.

The voices outside the door grew louder and louder. Stella frowned and forced her eyes open. Then she felt a warm and gentle embrace enveloping her from behind.

“Did the noise wake you up?”

Stella turned around and looked at the man with groggy eyes, asking, “What… What time is it?”

“It’s still early,” Weston replied, leaning down and planting a kiss on her face. “Why don’t we sleep a little longer?”

He then tucked her back into the thick layers of blankets.

“You must’ve been really tired yesterday,” he added.

“Not really,” she yawned and turned around to lean on his chest. “I think Guinevere was a lot more tired.”

She brought up the name as if that person no longer had any power to bother her.

“Yesterday was a mishap…” Weston ran his fingers through her messy hair. “But I promise you that she will never appear in our lives

    Stella got up and put on her clothes. She turned to the man standing beside her and asked softly, “Can I go out and talk to her for a little while?”Diana was her aunt, after all. When Stella was still living in her old home, it was Diana who had truly cared for her. After the death of her parents, Diana had been the only source of warmth and support she had apart from Roger. Even if she loathed to see Michael, she still wished to give Diana an explanation about everything that had transpired. It even occurred to her yesterday, when her true identity was revealed, that Diana would come to see her.“Are you sure?” Weston asked, wrapping his arms around her from behind. “Michael is here with her too, you know.”“I know,” she replied. “But I still want to see my aunt.”He said while pinching her earlobe playfully, “You still haven’t told me why you don’t get along with your uncle, yet you seem to love your aunt very much.”“Didn’t you say you’ve looked into it before?”Stella sat

    “Of course not, Aunt Diana!”Stella frowned with concern and added, “Please don’t overthink it and get the wrong idea! You’ve done nothing wrong!”“Then why didn’t you reveal your real identity to me when I saw you at that shopping mall?”“Well…” Stella smiled bitterly. “You’ve heard of what happened at the engagement party yesterday, haven’t you? That was the reason why…”“I can understand that.” Diana pursed her lips. “Still, you could’ve just told me that you were Stella. I never would've revealed it to anybody else! Didn't you know how happy I was when I saw you? I was heartbroken when you insisted that you were Ella Steele, not Stella Sealey…”“I’m sorry, Aunt Diana.”Stella had no idea what else to do apart from apologizing. She couldn’t possibly tell Diana that she had to keep her identity a secret because she knew something Michael was doing everything in his power to hide from the rest of the world that he’d been cheating on Diana behind her back, and that the woman he h

    It was almost impossible not to get lost in those alluring eyes.“With me by her side,” he asserted, “I will never let anyone harm her.”… Eventually, Michael had managed to persuade Diana to go home, albeit reluctantly.As soon as they got into the car, Michael immediately asked her, “What did Stella tell you when you guys were alone together?” Diana had noticed earlier that Michael had been acting really weird lately. At first, she chalked it up to him being overwhelmed with joy since finding out that their niece was alive after all. But now, it was beginning to look like something fishy was going on…“Nothing in particular,” she told him. “We were just catching up.” She paused before adding with a frown, “What’s up with you, anyway? Why do I have a feeling that you’re unhappy for some reason?”As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized how improbable her conjecture was. She might have been very close to Stella, but it was Michael who was related to her by bl

    “Haven’t you?” Stella picked up her coffee cup and took a sip. “How can I be sure of that when your own wife is still oblivious to the fact that you cheated on her many years ago?”“That was the only time it happened!” he insisted as calmly as he could through gritted teeth. He was seething with anger, but he knew it would be best to control his emotions. “I’d completely cut my contact with that woman ever since then…”“Are you sure that was the only time? Judging by your conversation with her back then, it sounded more like a repeated offense to me.”“I was just starting up my company back then,” he argued. “I had to meet so many people and entertain lots of clients, so it was impossible for me not to forget myself sometimes. But eventually, I managed to firmly establish the company, and ever since then, I’ve never fooled around at all!”“Oh,” Stella responded, her voice studded with biting scorn. “So you managed to establish your company then, huh? I wonder: How exactly did you d

    “That wasn’t what I meant…” Michael looked at him. “But Mr. Ford, can you deny that? You’re supposed to be considered one of the decent ones, but even you keep other women. Isn’t Bella from Lowe Gardens one of them?” “Seems like you took the effort to get to know me,” Weston responded expressionlessly. “Aside from her, who else did you find?” Michael was stunned for a moment, realizing that he had spoken too quickly. “It didn’t take much effort on my part. I simply heard about it from the rumor mill…” “I see,” Weston picked up Stella’s coffee cup. Stella was about to tell him that the cup was hers and she had taken a sip from it, but it was too late. Weston pursed his lips and sipped from the cup. Stella remembered his mild germaphobia and refusal to share food or drinks with other people and decided it was best for her to keep silent. Weston finished the cup and furrowed his brows as he looked at Michael, “The Belfords were right. You’re very ambitious, and you have yo

    “Mr. Ford really treats you like treasure,” Michael couldn’t help but remark. “He watches over you like a hawk, even for a short while.” “Just say what you want to say,” Stella said directly. Both of them walked to the end of the corridor. Weston was waiting outside. Stella looked at him distractedly, “I believe I made my stance very clear just now.” Michael looked at her and said, “I really didn’t expect you to be able to win Weston over just like that…” Puffing on a cigarette, he went on, “Seems like I don’t really have a way now…” “You sound like you’re about to do something to me.” Michael chuckled. “You’ve spent so much time with Weston that you can now find loopholes in what others say.” “Growth is inevitable, especially for someone like me who’s suffered so much in the hands of others,” Stella hinted. Michael turned solemn and only spoke after remaining silent for a long while. “I don’t have much to say except to remind you about one thing: Given how things e

    “I’m not going to coax and cajole him like a little child, but…” She sighed. Weston lifted her hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it tenderly. “Don’t bother about him. He’ll get around it sooner or later.” Stella remained silent as she fixed her gaze on him. She was worried precisely about him. She knew that Weston would settle everything properly on the premise that she would stay obediently by his side. She had to do exactly as he said. His excellent treatment of her came at a price. Right now, there was only one thing she was worried about, and that was Old Mr. Ford’s method to try to send her away without implicating those around her. Thankfully, given the time and information lag overseas, Stella still had some time to think about how to explain things to Roger. The engagement banquet’s incident immediately affected Ford Corporation’s stock prices. Weston needed to go to the office to attend to something. The silver Bugatti stopped in the middle of the

    Angelina sat stunned for a moment before saying, “No, I don’t,” in a daze. Stella pursed her lips. She recalled how certain Henry was when he claimed that Angelina was Faye…did he really get the wrong person? He must have. “Why did you suddenly ask me that?” Angelina asked. “Who is Henry Moore, and what’s his relationship with you?” Stella didn’t want to add to her worries, so she simply chuckled and said, “Nothing, it was just a casual question.” Angelina blinked. “Are you hiding something from me? “If it’s something personal and you don’t wish to tell me, that’s fine. But if it’s related to me, I wish that you’ll tell me honestly…” she whispered into Stella’s ear. Stella pondered for a moment. She rubbed in between her brows and said slightly apologetically, “You’re right. I should tell you about it.” She then subsequently relayed everything that happened with Henry to Angelina. Angelina heard Stella out solemnly, her eyes in a daze. Not getting a meaningful r

    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. Not many look for a partner purely because of material qualities. People with emotional needs will search
