Chapter 958

Author: Boat of Peaches
Time slowed to a crawl.

To Stella, it seemed as if the change of seasons had been stalled.

Spring had come and gone, and the early days of summer were being ushered in. That said, it rained so heavily last night that it felt more like a cold spring night.

She was walking on the carpet in cotton slippers when she heard someone coming in through the door.

“Dr. Quirk,” she greeted, more out of a habit than anything. “Good afternoon!”

“How are you feeling today?”

“Not bad.”

She put down the watering can in her hand and played with the leaves of her plants with keen and focused eyes. Dr. Quirk walked up to her and was about to speak when he was distracted by a delicate chain on her feet.

“What is that?” he asked.

“Hmm?” Stella followed his gaze, smiled, and casually explained, “Oh, these? They’re ankle cuffs.”

Stella lifted her left foot, and the dainty chain jingled with a crisp and clear noise.

“I was trying to bask in the sun with my cactus yesterday,” Stella explained further

This book is kind of male chauvinistic. I had hope for Stella and it was good that she was trying to escape and outsmart Weston. But alas, she lost and there is no hope leaving us reader with no hope and bored. I feel for Weston what a waste of time for both characters and us.

I really did enjoy this book but feel this is being written by a man and not for women readers.

I agree with you this story is really boring. And just four chapters is not enough. I don’t know why you’re treating these people against each other so much. And if you put Guinevere and Weston back together that’s it I’m done.

    “He’s treating her like a bird in the golden cage,” said Xavier in a disapproving tone in an exclusive club. He lit up a cigarette and took a drag on it. The sound of billiard balls colliding with each other filled the air. The whole place was vivacious.It had been a long time since Weston last came to this kind of place. Even the billiard hall owner found it curious.“Why hadn’t Mr. Ford been out having fun after getting married?” he asked Xavier.Everyone there knew that the woman Weston Ford married was not Guinevere Cohen but the woman that he had brought here to play snooker with him in the past.Yet none of them would have expected that he would be missing from this place after getting married.“What’s wrong?” Xavier countered him with a smile. “So what if he’s not here? I’m here, aren’t I? Am I not bringing a good enough business to you?”“I didn’t mean that at all, Mr. Xavier! You’re always joking with me!”Xavier said nothing in reply.Daisy was right next to him an

    Stella knew exactly what his gesture meant. The intensely intimidating aura that Weston exuded was palpable too.“I didn’t tell him anything…” she backed away from him instinctively.Her feet were still bound together as she shrank away, and the golden chains clanged noisily around her ankles as she moved.Weston ripped off his belt and tossed it aside. He knelt on the bed with one knee and stared at her like a hawk.“If you didn’t tell him anything, why was he so emotional when he talked about you?”He supported her, so she sat upright and raised her chin with his fingers.“Why were you so reckless, Stella?”Those words sounded like a grievance, but they also sounded like a warning.“If you won’t behave even after being locked up, perhaps I should cut you off from the outside world completely so you’d finally be a good girl.”Stella took a deep breath, heaving her chest slightly.“I’m sorry…” she whimpered. She had to muster all her willpower to stop herself from shaking. “I

    The next day, Hayden did not come as expected.After that day, Weston planned to put her in handcuffs, but he later dismissed the idea after he saw how well she behaved.She could walk around with only ankle cuffs as long as she remained in Stardust Mansion.Stella had no problem with that, just like a dummy with no excess emotion beyond what Weston wanted her to show.She was cold as usual, but she had learned to please him in all sorts of ways… in the kitchen, the bedroom, the living room…They would become like the typical loving couple whenever Weston returned home, leaving traces of their love in all corners of the house.Somehow, when looking at the woman who was trying so hard to please him, Weston felt as if he was looking at the Stella from two years ago.She was just as shy and delicate then, with he being the only thing in her eyes. The sole purpose of her existence was to make him happy.He picked her up, pinned her on the glass table, and kissed her passionately.

    Stella did not react much to it.“Is he spending a lot of time with Guinevere these days?”She mumbled, “It doesn’t matter. That’s his own business. It’s out of my hands.”“But… I’m afraid Ms. Cohen has still not given up on him!”Joan said that and glanced at the ankle cuffs on Stella’s feel with mixed feelings.Although Stella was Weston’s legitimate wife—she had also been one once, there were simply too many women eyeing him outside. Even if Guinevere seemed to have settled down recently, who knew what she had in mind?Joan was really worried for Stella.If Stella could give in to Weston and plead for mercy, she was sure he would forgive her with his affection for her. Stella simply smiled. “Thank you, Joan. I know you care for me. But this is my own matter. I know what to do…”Joan could only nod helplessly upon seeing her reaction. “I shall leave you alone then.”“Sure, go to sleep now.”After she left, Stella went to the balcony.The rows of potted plants were all qu

    When she was saying that, she started to smile. “I always wanted a daughter… I don't know if we'll ever see each other again.”That was what Weston saw when he got home.He tossed his jacket aside and walked to Stella, and hugged her from the back. “What are you mumbling to yourself?”Stella leaned on his arms without change in her expression. “Just some random stuff.” She put down the watering can in her hands and turned her head to look at him. “Why are you back so early today?”“I had a meeting just now, and the project matters are basically decided. There is nothing much to do during this period, so I can stay home with you.”He kissed her cheek and asked, “What were you talking about just now? Were you badmouthing me, hmm?”She smiled and took the initiative to wrap her arms around his shoulders and kiss him. “No, I didn’t say anything bad about you.”Weston was naturally happy to see her initiative.The two exchanged a long, breathless kiss in the backyard.Only when S

    Stella walked aimlessly.Upon hearing the man calling her in his deep voice, she stopped in her tracks and smiled. “What is it?”She looked perfectly fine, devoid of the slightest sign of mental deterioration.Weston walked to her. His eyes were gloomy. “...Do you want to go out?”She was taken aback. “Go out?”She pursed her lips and sized up the man in front of her, then shook her head. “No.”“Why?”He walked over to her and picked up a strand of hair, wrapping it around his fingertips to play with it. “I remember that you wanted to go out to see those friends of yours some time ago.”She shook her head again. “That was before. Now, I feel that staying home is just as nice.”She did not know if Weston really wanted to bring her out or was simply testing her.She was tired of this game of escapism.He had a million ways to make her uncomfortable as long as things didn't go his way.She did not want to fight or run away anymore.She just wanted to live in peace.The tir

    Stardust Mansion was very quiet. Apart from janitors who would clean the house on a regular basis, there were only two of them.Before they even reached the bedroom, Weston eagerly pinned her against the stairs.Fortunately, the entire mansion was covered with a thick carpet, so Stella did not feel uncomfortable when she was lying on it.He placed his warm palm on her back, rubbing it against her skin.He was hot, much hotter than she was.His hottest spot was against her most vulnerable spot, signaling his impetus.She closed her eyes and tried to relax, but the urge still could not be triggered.“Stella…”When touching her cold spot, the passion in his eyes faded a little, though it was still swirling.“This may hurt. Bear with it.”He kissed her passionately. Weston had reached the limit of his patience, but he did not want to use external means to feel her intimacy.It had been a long time since he had possessed her in her entirety.Even if she was in pain, he wanted he

    Since it was a birthday banquet, Stella was in elegant and modest attire that matched Weston's. She wore a pale gold flowing dress, the same color as Weston's tie.When they stood together, it was obvious that they were a couple.“My plants are still in the car,” Stella told him. “They will get stuffy.”Weston glanced at her. “It’ll be just for a few days. Why did you have to bring them? Are they so valuable?”“I raised them with care. What’s wrong with that?” she argued.“As long as it makes you happy.”Weston reserved his comments whenever it came to small matters such as these, though he felt that she had become a bit too obsessed with those potted plants. They were just some flowers Zeta gave to them. They were not worth much either, and he failed to understand why she treasured them so much. “I will get the chauffeur to send them to your room. You can tend to them during the interval.”Seeing that Stella seemed relieved, he teased her. “They are just a few pots of flowe

    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
