If it meant that Stella would treat him more tenderly, Weston thought, then perhaps risking his life last night was worth it after all.“I’m not sick,” he insisted once more. “Don’t worry about me.”“Who’s worried about you?” Stella refuted. “I was simply worried that you’d spread your cold to me, that’s all!”“If I really wanted to, then I wouldn’t just be talking to you right now, would I?”Stella quickly caught his drift. She glared at him but said nothing, getting up to get Weston’s notebook.Once she was gone, Weston leaned back against the headboard and rested a little. Then he picked up his phone and checked his emails before putting it aside again. Soon he saw Stella returning to the room with his notebook in one hand and holding her mobile phone up to her ear with the other hand.“Okay…” she was saying. “I understand. I’ll wait till the crew sorts out everything, then. Mm-hmm. Okay, I’ll take my time and study the script on my own for the time being…”She was probably

Stella was taken aback, having never seen Weston looking like that. In the past, his rare bouts of illness would merely inflict slight colds upon him that would go away the next day. During their marriage, Stella had only ever seen him get sick once, but just that once was enough to make her feel as if the sky had fallen on her. She stayed by his side and waited on him hand and foot. She would’ve chosen sickness in his place if she could. Her mind was so fully occupied by him that she couldn’t do anything else, except take care of him.Weston’s expressions changed slightly. He seemed to be remembering the same thing too.“Please stay by my side, okay?” he begged.It was not at all like Weston to have those imploring eyes.“I…” Stella wavered. “I’ll call for Joan to take care of you.”As soon as she finished her sentence, she saw the light in Weston’s eyes diminish. He closed his eyes and then in a jiffy, his old distant and aloof personality returned.“Okay,” he answered her

Stella knew all her lines by heart, but she decided to go through it one more time.Unsure about some of acting’s technical aspects, she searched the internet and watched some videos and rehearsed her lines again. Only after doing that for a few more times was she finally satisfied.After a while, she was interrupted by the sound of knocking on the door.“Miss Steele,” Joan called. “Mr. Ford is asking for you.”Stella frowned and looked at the time. To her surprise, two hours had gone by without her noticing it.“Okay,” she nodded to Joan before getting up and leaving the study.“Could you bring this in with you too?” Joan asked, referring to the tray in her hands that contained freshly-made lunch for Weston.Stella paused, then took the tray.“Okay, leave it to me. You can go for your break now.”“Thank you, Miss Steele.”Joan was a talented cook. She had made Weston a bowl of light soup, and though it looked plain and unassuming, Stella caught a whiff of it and thought it s

“Don’t be ridiculous,” Stella replied, her expressions unchanged. “Joan’s a professional. Of course her cooking is better than mine!”Weston could sense that she didn’t want to talk about this any further, so he said, “I’m glad you like Joan’s cooking.”“Oh, yeah!” she echoed, not hesitating to heap praise upon Joan. “She really is an incredible cook!”Stella had always loved piquant and savory food, but her stomach would start to churn if she ate too much spicy food. She typically avoided it if she could, especially now after her miscarriage, where she had basically lost all interest in food and ate just to stay alive.Seeing that Stella was happily enjoying the soup, Weston gently caressed her cheek with his fingers and teased, “Hey, I’m the patient here. Shouldn’t you be feeding me?”“There aren’t any rules about patients needing to be fed!” she disputed. “You only have a cold! Your hands are perfectly fine! Feed yourself!”It was clear that Stella had no desire to feed him, b

Stella shut the door behind her. The flush of red on her cheeks vanished instantly.Now, only cold indifference remained on her face.… It was now early evening. While Weston had been busy working in the bedroom, Stella herself had been poring over the script for hours. Now devoted to the art of acting, she was well aware that she had neither formal training nor any experience to speak of, so she had to rely on hard work and determination to build up her skills.Bradley Lane once told her that she possessed a unique aura. Stella didn’t quite understand what he meant, but she did notice that while acting, she found it very easy to get into character and completely empathize with the character she was playing. She had gone through the scripts so many times now that she felt as if she truly inhabited that world.She closed the script and sighed softly.Her character had noticed that everyone was paying more attention to the heroine. At first, she told herself that it was unders

It was rare that he showed his emotions. Even when he was furious, there would only be a mere change in tone, something that gave him an air of authority without even the need to flare up. “Chris, do you still remember what you’ve done? Have I not done enough covering up for you?” Silence ensued. Weston could almost hear Chris breathing over the phone. “Weston, I admit that I’ve let you down. But think about it. Is there any turning back, now that things have come to this point?” “None whatsoever,” Weston snarled coldly. He looked at the closed door. As his thoughts drifted to the feeling of having Stella sitting next to him, the air around him filled with her subtle fragrance. How could they possibly turn back? Even if he wanted desperately to salvage the situation, it would definitely not be easy. “Consider it me begging you. Spend more time with Gwen…just for this year! After the two of you get married, everything will be fine…” “Are you still hoping that we’

Thinking on one’s feet and being quick-witted were of utmost importance to remain employed in such a wealthy family. … This time, Stella entered the room without knocking on the door. Weston looked over. “What are you doing?” “Joan is worried that you’ll die from your sickness and asked me to bring you some medicine.” “Did you come over of your own accord or was it because Joan asked for your help?” “What do you think?” Stella’s tone was mild as she sat at the side of his bed and retrieved the right dosage of medication. She handed him a thermometer. “Open your mouth and put this in.” He paused for a moment, keeping silent as he stared at her. Stella couldn’t comprehend what he was thinking. “What are you staring at me for? Measure your temperature.” Weston’s interest was piqued as he stepped back. “How rare. I used to always be the one to command you. Now, it’s your turn.” Stella was stunned for a moment. A while later, she glared at him and flung the thermomet

Weston knew that without a little temptation, she would never take the bait. “After I finished work, I spent some time looking into vacancies for foreign students. Are you sure you don’t want to hear more about what I found out?” Stella leaned in immediately. “I do.” Weston felt a tinge of jealousy at the sight of her being so excited. “Aren’t you being a tad too good to Roger?” “We are family. It’s only natural that we treat each other well,” Stella said. Weston paused for a moment without responding to her immediately. It’s only natural to treat family members well. He chewed on Stella’s words and couldn’t help but feel a sense of irony in it. “Not necessarily. Many family members end up stabbing each other in the back for self-interest.” Stella furrowed her brows. “That shouldn’t be so. Most families I know live peacefully and harmoniously with each other.” Although such family dramas were commonplace on television, she still held onto the belief that most ordina

Indeed, Weston pursed his lip tight upon her words. He simply looked at her without a direct response. Stella shook her head. “There are some things that you can never give me.” … In Ford Mansion’s backyard. Chris hung up and didn’t dare to turn around and face the woman behind him. Guinevere said nothing. With a watering can in one hand and the other fiddling with flowers, it was as if she had expected the outcome. It was winter, and all the plants in the garden had been imported from overseas. However, perhaps the harsh winter conditions this time caused none of the flowers to be in bloom. Dr. Hayden Quirk suggested that she keep herself busy by way of distraction. She was officially joining the crew in two days to film her scenes, and she decided to spend whatever free time she had tending the garden. In any case, it was something that she often saw Henry doing. She wasn’t exactly sure whether it really had a positive impact on keeping one’s emotions in check, bu

Guinevere leaned against his shoulder and looked at the flabbergasted Wendy. She had once been the queen of the entertainment circle in her heyday. Now, it seemed like her glamor was only in appearances. They exchanged glances. Guinevere acted as if she just spotted Wendy and anxiously pushed Chris away. “Auntie…” Chris’ back stiffened and he broke out in cold sweat as he straightened himself. He turned his head stiffly over and saw Wendy standing right behind him. Guilt crept up his heart. “Wendy…” He clenched his fists and forced himself to calm down. “Why did you come down? It’s very cold and windy outside…” He stepped forward. Wendy looked at Chris walking nearer to her with a smile on her face. “Nothing. I just didn’t see both of you in the house and was wondering where you two had gone.” Chris immediately put up a front and held her hands up with a smile. “I came out to take a call and saw Gwen tending to the garden. I was worried that she would tire herself
