âI will lose my wife if I want my face, my wife is more important.â
Stella said, âWho is your wife?â
She glared at him. âDonât forget that weâve been divorced a long time ago, in fact, twice.â
âWe were married in front of everyone in Ahn City, and donât you forget that either,â Weston reminded. He looked serious, though he showed no awareness that he was actually forcing her to complete the wedding. âYou took a vow in front of the priest, and me, too. Besides, we did not dissolve the marriage three years ago.. it is you who unilaterally declared your death. Even after your death, you are still my wife.â
Stella could only remain silent for a moment. She could never win against this man when it came to shamelessness. He could say such things so righteously.
She walked into her tent without looking at him.
He followed her into the tent. She looked at the clothes he had washed. They had all been hung up properly for drying.
She walked over to inspect his work and suddenly frowned. âThis is the laundry you did?â
âWhatâs wrong with it?â
âItâs not clean here.â
Stella pointed to the spot on her shirt where it was originally printed with a pattern. âHow is it still so dirty?â
Weston knew she was deliberately picking a fight just by taking a look at it and said to her, âYou just might not be able to clean this thing even with disinfectant.â
âAre you talking back now? If you donât want to wash it, just donât. Is it necessary to be so stubborn after you did a bad job?â
Weston was silent.
Indeed, he should not have refuted her just now.
He knew that Stella was deliberately picking a fight, so he should not have gone against her wishes.
âOkay, I will wash it again.â
Stella just pointed to a top but did not expect him to reach out and remove all her undergarments as well.
Her eyes widened at once. âIâm talking about the knit shirt!â
âI know. Since itâs not clean enough, the others must be more or less the same. Iâll reâwash them for you.â
Stella was so angry that her face turned a little red, or perhaps she was a little shy. âNo need for the undergarments. Iâll wash them myself later.â
âHow can I let you do it? Itâs so cold now.â
Weston frowned and said to her, âGood girl, go and sit for a while, I will be back soon.â
So that night, the whole crew witnessed Weston going to the house of a local herder to borrow a basin and ask for some soap in order to wash the clothes for Stella. He washed them thoroughly, making sure they were clean.
He looked as serious as getting a business deal worth millions of dollars.
Nicole could not stand it anymore and walked over to him. âMr. Ford, stop it. Canât you see that Stella is doing it on purpose?â
He ignored her remark and gave her an indifferent look instead. âGet out of the way.â
Nicole paled a little, not expecting him to side with Stella even at this point.
She stood in front of him and refused to leave. âI canât watch you suffer like this anymore. You want to wash her clothes, donât you? Okay, Iâll help you wash them together!â
After she said that, she took a small bench over and sat in front of him, attempting to get the clothes in his hands.
