Chapter 1097 Weston said, âIf you want to, Iâll go with you. If you donât, Iâll reject it for you.â
Stella was torn between decisions. After a long time, she looked at him and asked, âWill you take me out?â
âIf Iâm around, yes.â Weston lifted his hand and wiped the juice from the corner of her mouth.
Stella smiled meaningfully. âI thought you were going to keep me here forever...â
âThatâs because you never listen. If you behave, however, Iâll take you out for events like this.â
Stella nodded and took a piece of steak with the fork. She brought it to her mouth but did not eat it. âThe trialâ¦â
The two hadnât talked about this topic for the past few days in mutual understanding.
Weston paused a little. He picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip. âItâll go as planned.
Donât worry. Tina will tell you what to do later.â
Stella held up her fork but did not eat for a long time.
She could not help but ask him, âHave you ever thought of it in your heart? Did you ever suspect me as a murderer?â
Weston raised his eyebrows. He clearly didnât want to talk about it. âIt doesnât matter to me. I just want you to stand in front of me, safe and well.â
âEven if I did kill your son, you wouldnât care?â.
âI told you before. Zachary isnât my son.â.
âThe child is dead, so itâs not yours anymore?â Stella gripped the fork with all her might. âThen the child we lost before...â
âEnough!â Weston cut her off and stood up. âDonât overthink this. Itâs already been decided. Itâll be fine as long as you cooperate with Tina during the trial.â
âAlso...â Weston walked to her and tipped her chin.â Donât try to contact anyone on your own. After the trail, stay in the mansion. Donât ever leave without my permission.â
Stellaâs eyes trembled, but she did not say anything. After a short while, she put the food in her mouth and ate without expression.
Stella had gotten used to the always âchanging tension between the two of them. Weston was sometimes soft and gentle but sometimes very cold.
Weston was pleased to see her obedience. He loosened his tie and pressed a kiss on her forehead.
âFinish your dinner and get some rest today. Iâll take you to the funeral tomorrow.â
âOkay.â
The next day, at the Sealey family home. Stella had mixed feelings coming back.
There were already numerous cars parked outside. Among them, Westonâs black Maybach stood out the most.
The Sealey family was considered a middleâclass family in the area. Stellaâs parents were both university professors and had a good reputation.
Stella and Roger grew up like little princesses and princes when they were young. They had never experienced any hardship Though their family was not as rich as the richest ones, like the Ford and the Cohen family, they were still very well off.
Stella held Westonâs hand and got out of the car while everyone was watching. She looked at the familiar building before her eyes and felt like a stranger.
âThis is where you grew up?â Weston observed the look on her face. Then, he tucked her hair behind her ear gently.
Stella nodded. âYeah....â.
The Sealey family was dumbfounded at the scene. They had heard about Weston and Stellaâs relationship, but seeing them interact in person was completely different.
