Chapter 1065 Stella could only have him in her eyes. She could only see him in her sight. There were only two things left in Stellaâs life: staying with him, and waiting for him to return.
Whenever Weston thought of this, he vaguely felt his blood boil. The natural possessiveness and dominance in his bones made him sleepless in the dark.
He opened his eyes and looked at Stellaâs peaceful sleeping face in the dark. All he wanted was to possess her completely , from her body to her soul.
Stella became unusually wellâbehaved over the next few days. However, Weston could see the strong emotions brewing in her eyes whenever he laid his eyes on her.
She seemed to want to spend time with him, cling to him, and pester him at all times, giving him no breaks.
Stella had been this passionate before, but it was just an act. All she wanted was to get through the one year, then get away from him.
Weston secretly enjoyed her passion for him, so he never exposed her acts. However, things were different now.
He had a taste of what it was like to be truly loved by Stella, and an act of affection simply wasnât enough now. He wanted more.
Weston was on the phone with Hayden in the study. He described to him how Stella had been acting strangely.
Hayden sat in the clinic and stared at the two vibrant cactus pots on the windowsill. He was a little tired after a night shift last night. When he heard Westonâs question, he gradually went back to his usual spirits.
âAre you saying that sheâs suddenly very clingy? Are you worried sheâs still putting up an act?â
âEven if itâs an act, itâll be fine,â Weston said in a cool and low voice.
Weston was wearing a black and blue silk robe. He casually stood on the balcony and held a glass of red wine in his hand. He twirled it slightly and looked at the ripple on the surface.
âIf sheâs willing to act with me for life, Iâll gladly accept it. Of course, Iâll be more than happy to see her being serious.â
Hayden pondered for a moment and thought for a long time. âIn her case, maybe sheâs not really acting.â
Hayden thought about it according to his experience and found only one possibility.
âMaybe Stella has Stockholm syndrome...â
Weston raised his eyebrows slightly and seemed interested. âGo on.â
âIt is a type of psychological disorder, where a victim falls in love with its abuser. Itâs not an uncommon condition. I think what sheâs experiencing is very much in line with the principles of Stockholm syndrome.â
âAre you saying Iâm the abuser and sheâs the victim in this relationship?â
Hayden heard the displeasure in Westonâs stone and smiled. âIâm just an outsider. You should be clear about this. Besides, I canât be sure if Stella really has Stockholm syndrome. Maybe she simply fell in love with you. Who knows?â
â
He knew what Weston wanted to hear and spoke with a touch of sarcasm.
âWho says only crazy people fall in love with those who force themselves on them and hold them captive?â
Haydenâs smile faded after the call disconnected. The pen he was spinning in his hand fell on the table.
The tip of the pen dropped and split. He picked it up and tried to write a few words on the paper, but the words only came out intermittently as the ink had stopped flowing It was one of his favorite pens. Hayden was a little annoyed and put the cap on with a loud click. Then, he threw it on the table. The pen almost fell again.
