Westonâs innate silence only confirmed Stellaâs suspicions. Nonetheless, she forgot that Weston had also gotten hurt in the snowy mountains.
Perhaps it was his behavior for the past few days and how he acted like a normal person, coupled with blindness, that she forgot how badly Weston was hurt. She even felt that God was unfair. Weston actually survived in such extreme circumstances. Not only did he survive, but he appeared in front of her alive and well. He was just like the chosen one!
Stellaâs guilt about Weston disappeared at that thought. She immediately reverted to her disgusted self and looked at him with her eyes full of coldness.
Weston could tell what she was feeling from the look in her eyes, but he held her hand and refused to let go anyway. After a long silence, he rasped, âDonât you understand why? Iâm doing this just to see you one more time.
âStella, I would do anything to see you again.â
Stella froze for a moment and thought Weston was really crazy. However, she soon discarded the thought in her mind and said to him, âSo, are you admitting that you were deceiving me earlier? Just to get my sympathy?â
âYou can think what you like. I would do anything to have you again. If only you knew how much I wanted you.â
âHow can you be so shameless? Does everyone have to submit to your whims and demands?â
âOf course not. I have a lot of things I want but canât accomplish.â Weston walked to her slowly. âIt isnât just about not having you.â
As Weston got closer, Stella frowned at the faint scent of blood on him. When she was about to ask something, he tipped her chin and nibbled the corner of her lips.
Stella hissed a little and turned her head away immediately.
Weston turned her face to him and nibbled on her lips again before gently releasing her.
âYou think I have everything I want, but no. I never had some of the simplest things⦠but youâre different.
Iâm madly obsessed with you. Iâm trying not to lose control, but I fear there is little I can do.â
Weston looked deeply into her eyes. âDo you know?
Youâre hurting me by appearing in front of me.â
Stella paused and slapped his hand away. âIf you think Iâm hurting you, leave me alone!â
âIâm willing to be hurt by you.â Weston told her, âIâm willing.â
Stella took a deep breath. âI detest clingy men. I used to like you because I thought you were unattainable. You seemed perfect because of the distance between us. However, I find it difficult to feel good about you when you cling to me like a stalker.â
âHow else can I make you look at me? Tell me. Iâll try it.â
âNothing! Iâm never starting over with you!â
âThatâs why-â Weston told her, âYouâve said it yourself. Nothing will work. That means I can use any move I want.â
Weston put his forehead against hers and whispered, You know Iâll do whatever it takes. For you, Iâll do whatever it takes to have you.â
Stella exhaled again. She was so angry that her head started to throb, unsure what else she could say to refute him. Weston seemed to be born with the ability to anger her at ease.
((
Stella shook in anger for a long time. After calming down, she suddenly asked him an incoherent question. âHow did you escape the snowy mountain?â
Weston seemed reluctant to recall the scene.
âThe rescue team,â he replied indifferently.
