Daisy could not stand staying any longer. At last, she pushed open the door with tears and fled with great strides. She had never experienced such humiliation. Her eyes were red, and her body was shaking.
Daisy always lost to Stella. That was not what she wanted. She came to make a breakthrough, not to be taunted and ridiculed by them.
Maybe Daisy should not have entered this world in the first place. If she had been nothing more than a secretary, she might have gotten what she wanted. If she had not dumped Xavier and stayed with him, she could be a Mrs. Ford by now.
Daisy might be able to stay by Westonâs side as an aunt instead of this. She threw away everything to pursue Weston, leaving herself with nothing to fall back in. He shunned her away easily, leaving her with no room to retreat.
Stella watched Daisy fleeing and tsked twice. She shook her head and turned to Weston. âSuch a poor thing. Shouldnât you go after her and check on her?â
Weston rubbed his temple. âWho else can I go after but you?â
Stella propped her chin in her palm. She could not help but say, âYouâre actually quite compatible with her. Well, she has been pursuing you for years. Why donât you consider her?â
âWell, youâre my girlfriend now. I have a girlfriend, so I shouldnât be looking at other women.â
Speechless, Stella frowned. âHow many times do I need to explain this? Weâre not in a relationship!â
âThatâs what you think.â Weston said, âIâve agreed to all your conditions. In any signed contract, thereâs a price to pay for breach of contract. Itâs the same for a verbal promise too.â
Stella took a deep breath. âOkay, fine. Tell me. How much is the breach of contract?â
âThe breach of contract isâ¦â Weston stood up and walked to her. He braced his arms on the table and cornered her in his reach.
âGive me another child.â
Stella looked up at him, speechless. She didnât know how to react for a moment. She felt a little thirsty and stood up to get some water, but Weston put out a hand and stopped her from getting up. Instead, he poured a glass of water over her and put it in front of her.
Stella accepted it and took a sip to hydrate herself. Then, she said to him, âYou should know. I donât even have the patience to see you now, let alone have children with you.
Please stop making these absurd conditions anymore.â âFine then.â Weston said leisurely, âI wonât give you a hard time, but youâll have to give me custody rights either to Emma or Elias.â
Stella widened her eyes in disbelief and stood up sharply. âDream on!â
In a blur of rage, she suddenly splashed the glass of water all over Weston.
Weston did not dodge and was drenched as a result. Water dripped from his black hair, but he continued looking at Stella steadily with no hint of anger. He simply looked at her calmly. Then, he picked up a tissue and wiped himself gently. âDoes this make you feel better?â
Stella gritted her teeth and placed the glass heavily on the table. She shut her eyes in anger. âWhatever youâre thinking, donât even think about laying a hand on Emma and Elias!â
Emma and Elias were Westonâs own flesh and blood.
Stella would no longer deny that fact. She knew this day would come when she decided to come back.
Part of the reason behind Stellaâs return was that she wanted Emma and Elias to know their origins. She did not want to stay in hiding overseas anymore.
Stella wanted to live in the world openly without hiding around. However, if Weston tried to snatch either of her children away, she would fight him to the death!
Emma and Elias were her absolute bottom line.
