Daisy saw how Weston completely lost control of himself. Unable to hold back, he grabbed Stellaâs wris t and pulled her to her feet.
Stella staggered to her feet and followed him, stumbling a few steps.
Bradley was behind Stella, and he wanted to follow her, but Ben immediately grabbed him by the shoul ders. He said to him with a cold face, âSorry. I hope you donât intervene with Mr.
and Mrs. Fordâs private matters.â
Daisy watched the two leaving one after the other and felt a little sore in her eyes. She took a deep bre ath and held back her tears. Then, she said to the others, âItâs fine. Letâs continue with the details of the contract that didnât work out earlier.â
Ben was worried about the way Daisy played it cool. âAre you okay? Itâs okay if this project doesnât wor k out. Mr. Ford will take care of it.â
The project was no longer that important by the look of Weston earlier.

Weston suddenly felt weak. He embraced her in a deep hug and said in her ear with a husky voice, âI w onât do any of that to you again.â
After that, he suddenly straightened up and pressed her head hard against his chest. âDo whatever you want to me, but please, never ever leave me again.â

Stella smiled. âThat seems insincere. You wonât beg until I say so.â
Weston said without hesitation, âPlease.â
Stella paused slightly and met his burning gaze. She suddenly turned away and reminded him, âYou kno âThen why did you come back?â Weston asked. Stella could feel his breath on her ear. It was hot enough to make her skin flush with goosebumps.
Stella felt uncomfortable and tried to push him away, only to find Weston holding her tighter in his arms.
Weston held her as if he missed her so much. Holding her was the only way to calm his surging emotion Stella sighed again. She looked over his shoulder into the distant air and said softly, âAh. Mr. Ford, I think youâve misu
