Chapter 1342: Chapter 1345

“Do I need to dig out my heart for you so you would finally believe me?” Weston coldly asked behind her.

Stella paused, sighed, then replied, “You know that I never wanted your heart anyway.”

Weston drew a sharp breath, and the air surrounding his body turned frosty.

Stella looked out the window. The sun was already shining outside, and since it was summer, the weather must be pretty warm, yet for some reason, the room felt extremely cold.

She could feel goosebumps rise on her skin and all over her legs. Even without looking back at him, she could feel his icy gaze on her body very palpably, and his gaze was so cold that she dared not open her mouth.

“You’re telling me that you’ll be with another man and let the kids call him Daddy?”

She nodded.

“That day will come. Someday,” she said.

“Do I really not have another chance at all?”

“I’ve told you many times before,” she replied.

“No.”

“Why not?” he asked. “Are you saying that you won’t give me another chance even though you’ll never find another man who loves you as much as I do, even though I’m a completely different man and know how to love you properly now, even though I’m willing to do anything at all just so you’d give me another chance?”

Stella paused for a very long time. She gritted her teeth and finally slowly replied, “That’s right. It’s over between us.”

After that, she picked up her clothes that were strewn on the floor and left.

Thus, from that day onward, Weston stopped coming to find her. They had agreed to visit Elias and Emma in Compassvale together earlier, but Stella was no longer sure if he still wanted to go now.

Perhaps he was so hurt by what she said that morning that he was no longer willing to chase after her anymore.

She knew that Weston was a very proud man. It would be completely out of character for him to keep on running after her even after being so bluntly rejected.

She knew all along that he would eventually give up on her one day.

Nevertheless, an indescribable feeling rose in her heart now that he was completely gone. She felt a little empty somehow, though she never mulled over it. After focusing her mind on her work, she quickly forgot about him.

Afterward, she saw so many people and did so many things that thoughts about Weston were soon pushed to the very back of her mind.

She then bought her own flight ticket and told Roger that she would be in Compassvale soon to see Elias and Emma. But when she got to the airport, she saw the familiar figure approaching her again.

Surprised, she stood very still. Before she could react, Weston had already walked up and picked up the suitcase in her hand.

“What’s wrong?” he asked when he noticed Stella standing stiffly.

Stella shook her head and explained, “I thought you didn’t want to go anymore.”

He had not contacted her, so she took it to mean that he had given up on her and did not want to see her anymore. “I’m sorry,” Weston looked away, afraid to look into her eyes, “but I still want to see the kids. Is that okay with you?”

He spoke very cautiously and with evident humility.

“Well,” Stella’s brows knitted, “I did promise you that you could see them. You’re their father no matter what, and I won’t deny that.”

She had thought it through now and decided that whatever was going on between them, their children must not be dragged into the mess. If he wanted to see them, he had a right to do so as their father. She would not stop him since it was his duty to fulfill as a parent anyway.

“Okay,” Weston nodded. “I’ll also make sure to transfer child support payments to your account every month.”

Since Stella refused to accept ownership of Ford Corporation, it meant finding another way to compensate her.
