Chapter 1053 Roger laughed a little. âWhat I regret most is leaving you rashly out of anger back then and not bidding you a proper farewell.
âSister, I really miss you...
âIf possible , Iâd like to see you again and live with you. âI donât dare to be greedy, nor do I expect us to be lovers. As long as we stay together as a family, Iâll be satisfied enough.
âThinking of it now, I think I had a hunch at that time, and I told you what I had hidden in my heart. I donât have any regrets, except that Iâll never get to see you again.â
Stella closed her eyes. Her eyelashes fluttered wildly, and her whole body shook uncontrollably.
âYesterday, Westonâs men came for me, so I knew something must have happened. He needed me to threaten you to stay by his side.
âI really hate myself sometimes for being your dead weight. I said I wanted to make your life better, but I only ended up dragging you down...
âHow could I let myself be used as a tool to threaten you?
âI want so much for you to be happy.
âBut in the end, it turned out that the biggest obstacle to your happiness was probably me...â As he was saying that, he drew in breath gently, seemingly trying to suppress the lump that had risen in his throat.
âYou know, sister, when I realized this, I really wanted to die...â
Rogerâs voice was shaking a little.
Evidently , he was trying his best to calm himself down. It was only after a long time did he let out a soft sigh. âSister, I have never done anything for you, and... this seems to be the only thing I can do for you. âI donât want to see him threatening you anymore. Perhaps only when I die can you be truly free.â
âNo, itâs not like that!â Stellaâs nose was red. She wanted to refute him. âI never thought of you as a burden! You are the only family I have...â
Unfortunately, Roger would never hear this.
âSister, I wish you a happy twenty â second birthday in advance.â
âIf there is another life, I donât want to be your brother again.â
In the end, the boyâs voice trembled so much that he was almost unable to continue. Seemingly not wanting to make himself cry in front of Stella, Roger forcefully chuckled.
âSister, I really love you.
âNo matter if itâs love for a family member or whatever other feelings, I just want you to live well.â âBut if you leave me, whatâs the point of me living...â Stella asked in a hoarse voice.
No one answered her in the private room.
Her question echoed in the room and drifted into the still air, never to be heard again.
Ben had been waiting outside the door of the private room.
Seeing that Stella didnât come out even after Michael had left for some time, he frowned.
Just as he wanted to enter to check on her, he saw her coming out with her eyes red.
âWhatâs wrong, Mrs. Ford?â
Ben was alerted immediately, and his face turned serious. âIs something wrong?â
When he said that, he instinctively wanted to bring Michael back.
Stella shook her head. âIâm fine.â
She was just about to leave when she suddenly thought of something and looked into Benâs eyes. âBy the way, I havenât contacted Roger for a long time. Have you heard from him?â
