Chapter 940

Author: Boat of Peaches
Weston’s mocking snort only made Stella more uncomfortable.

Zeta wasn’t wrong when she said she knew her body best. Why did he have to mock her?

Weston looked at her casually, and Stella whispered in his ear, “Can you wait for me outside?”

“Do you think I can?” Weston answered expressionlessly.

She had just tried to run away from the marriage yesterday. So it was only natural for Weston to take her with him wherever he went. He would not let her out of his sight ever again.

Stella pressed her lips. She understood him and promised, “Don’t worry. I won’t run away again.”

She met Weston’s gaze and said solemnly, “I won’t do something stupid like yesterday again… I’m no fool. Running away will do me no good.”

She sounded credible when she weighed the pros and cons, but Weston only looked at her indifferently and said nothing.

Stella was a little apprehensive, fearing that he would disagree. If he stayed beside her all the time, it would make her feel uncomfortable. After all, even

I feel like that chapter just repeated a lot of stuff we already know. How many times do we have to hear how accomplished he is and how well known his family is?

I'm sure it will be repeated a lot more in this story. It's already been repeated at least 5-10 times already.

    Weston was only in his thirties, but he was fighting for a slice of pie from the old foxes in their fifties and sixties. This made him a formidable competitor and a very influential figure.Stella smiled a little but showed no joy in her eyes. “I didn’t know he had such a reputation…”“Alright. Let’s not talk about him.”Seeing her lack of interest, Zeta switched back to the main topic. “He said you were better for a while… Why did it suddenly get worse?”Stella furrowed her brow. “I don’t really know either. Last night, I just felt like I couldn’t accept him at all.”Stella was much more relaxed without Weston around. As it was only her and Zeta, she didn’t feel as inhibited as she did. Stella put her hands on her forehead, and suddenly, a massive wave of fatigue descended upon her.“In the past year, I’ve been acting in front of him. My acting turned out to be believable because of the medication. Even on the occasional times when we’d do it without medication, I endured it u

    ‘Was it really impulse that caused Stella to run away from her wedding with Weston?’ Zeta wondered and pursed her lips. Stella’s words did little to convince her.“You’re not an impulsive person. If you’re not sure, you wouldn’t have decided to do that.”Zeta could see through her. Stella dropped her head. “It’s indeed not as simple as I claimed.”Stella probably would not have come this far if it weren’t for Warren’s promise. Warren, however, had never shown himself until now.She wondered if Warren had changed his mind or if he had lost the game between him and Weston. Either way, her fate was decided. There was no chance of things changing.“If you’re not comfortable talking about it, then don’t.” Zeta stopped forcing her. “I understand your situation. If you have time today, get yourself a detailed examination. If there’s nothing physical, it may be a psychological problem. I can recommend you a good psychiatrist...”“Okay. Thanks, Dr. Taylor.”It was about time. Stella

    “Oleander is extremely poisonous. A human or animal that consumes its flower, root, leaf, or seed might die from poisoning.”Stella widened her eyes in surprise. “That bad?”She thought that the oleander’s poison would cause an allergy or something at most, but little did she expect that it was actually so toxic.Zeta nodded. “It’s no joke. The entire oleander plant is poisonous. If you accidentally break the branches and touch the sap, for instance, it will paralyze your skin. Burning the branches, on the other hand, produces toxic gases…”“It sounds very dangerous,” Stella said.“The prettier they are, the more dangerous they become.” Zeta smiled and advised, “You’re a novice, so don’t pick this one. There are other plants to look at.”“Why don’t you recommend one?”“Sure.” Zeta looked around and chose one. “This is Serissa japonica, also known as snowrose. What do you think?”She recommended the flower and explained, “When snowrose blooms, its white flowers are as dense as t

    Earlier, in Henry’s ward.The contents of the IV dripped slowly into the patient’s green veins.Weston stood at the door and looked inside the ward. Then, he pushed the door open and walked in.There was a nice wheelchair and a pair of crutches by the bedside table. Henry was lying on the hospital bed. When he saw Weston walking in, his gaze followed him. “That’s rare. You’re so well-informed this time.”Weston grabbed a chair and sat next to Henry’s bed. “You’ve misunderstood. I accompanied my wife to the hospital today. We heard from Zeta that you were here. What happened? Are you in sick again?”The two men had never spoken nicely to each other. Henry was used to Weston’s cold words and did not take them to heart. Indifferently, he spoke, “Don’t worry. I’m not dead yet. Accompany your wife and leave me alone.”Weston laughed and picked up a financial magazine. “It’s been so many years. You should get back on your feet. Don’t be a cripple.”“Don’t worry about my business.”

    In short, an ordinary person would be no match for Angelina.Weston paused a little and glanced at Henry once. He was not interested in Faye and only remembered her as Henry’s bodyguard.As a bodyguard, Faye was a skilled fighter. Responsible for caring for Henry, she was much tougher than the average woman.Henry understood the look in Weston’s eyes. He closed his eyes and ordered Angelina to leave.“Put down the things and leave.” Angelina felt a little restrained. Seeing that she wasn’t welcomed, she nodded and agreed to leave. “Then I’ll be going… If you need any follow-up on the medical bills, I…”“Why aren’t you leaving yet?” Henry opened his eyes and looked impatient. Angelina pursed her lips and turned around to leave. If she hadn’t made mistakes, she wouldn’t have endured his temper.After the door of the ward was closed, Weston turned to Henry and asked, “Are you sure she’s not the one you’re looking for?”Henry seemed a little conflicted himself. He lay in bed, lo

    Stella’s face did not change as she mentioned Guinevere. She looked indifferent as if she was talking about an unimportant and irrelevant person.However, Weston’s face changed. “You won’t become like her.”He tipped her chin. “You’re not the same as her.”“How are we different?” Stella paled and smiled weakly. “Maybe I’m just walking her old path…”Guinevere was not crazy at first. She was a woman full of pride. However, an illustrious woman like her ended up becoming a laughingstock because of this man. How would Stella fare any better?Stella lost her only child and her only chance to be a mother. He threatened her with her brother, who was her only family and loved one. Left with little choice, she was forced to stay by the side of that man she hated and pretended to please him.Perhaps she would one day turn out more extreme than Guinevere.…Outside the hospital. After putting the snowrose in the trunk of the car, Stella looked at it. “Will it tumble?” she asked anxiously

    Weston got out of the car first and picked Stella up in his arms. Then, he strode inside.Joan had been told about their return and was already making the appropriate preparations inside.“Madam, Mr. Ford...” Joan greeted them with a smile. When she saw Weston enter with Stella in his arms, she stepped aside. “The villa is ready. I’ve cooked some of Mrs. Ford’s favorite dishes. It’s still warm!”Stella felt a little embarrassed to be carried around in Weston’s arms. “Put me down…” she whispered into his ear.Joan was still around, and it would be inappropriate for him to be carrying her around. It was as though she could not walk herself.Even so, Weston did not put her down. Instead, he ordered Joan, “Go in first and get her stuff ready.”“Yes, Mr. Ford.”Weston still did not put Stella down after Joan left. He stood in the foyer and held her on one knee. He kept one hand on her waist and changed her shoes.“Joan is one of our own. There’s no need to be shy.”Weston was in th

    The hands on the wall clock ticked away.Weston carried Stella to the living room. Stella protested a little and did not want the doctor to see such an embarrassment, but her protest was to no avail.Weston’s possessiveness and dominance were clearly on a higher level than before, and it was impossible to oppose his decisions.He would make her comply one way or another, gently and slowly.Hayden sat on the sofa and went through Stella’s examination report. When he heard movements, he looked up with a slightly surprised smile.“Mr. Ford, you’re… what an eye-opener.”Hayden was not invited to the wedding, but even he had heard about the bride’s brazen escape attempt. With Weston’s cold and ruthless character, the runaway bride would’ve probably been taught a lesson.Hayden cared little for such gossip and nonsense, nor did he pay any attention to the story’s development. The incident, however, surprised him.It was obvious that Weston treasured this woman deeply.“This is Hayde

    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
