âReally?â
Elias did not seem to be convinced. âBut I heard that he doesnât have a very good reputation. Even Grandpa Gracia said that he was Ahn Cityâs King of Hell. Many business opponents of his would rather undergo the most severe trials than go against himâ¦â
Stella could not help but laugh. âWhere did you hear all that?â
âThatâs what they say on the internetâ¦â
This was really not her fault. Weston was to blame for having such an intimidating reputation.
She finally figured out why Eliasâ reaction was so unusual. He must have looked up Weston on the Internet or read about his great achievements over the years and thought he was a man who killed and would treat them with the same ruthlessness.
Elias did not reject Weston as their father, but he was more worried that he would separate them.
Thinking of this, Stella looked into Eliasâ eyes fixedly and said, âYour Daddy might not be a good husband, but he does not have to be a bad father. If we donât give him a chance, youâll never know if heâll be good to you.â
âBut if he could not be a good husband to you, I donât want him to be a good Daddy to us eitherâ¦â
Elias said to her, âI really just want to be with Mommy forever. The rest of the people donât matter.â
Emma suddenly stood up with her toy in her arms and jumped into Stellaâs arms. âMe too, I want to be with Mommy foreverâ¦â
Downstairs, Lucas was obviously not happy with the family of three coming over to disturb them. He was swimming back and forth in the pool.
Yvonne was sitting right next to the pool, waiting for him to swim over.
After seeing him come ashore, she immediately offered him a towel ingratiatingly. âDonât be angry. They are just coming over for a couple of days. Maybe they will leave tomorrow.â
Lucas cast a faint glance at him. Ignoring her, he lay on the bench.
Yvonne followed him to the bench and squatted down beside him. She said, âI am the godmother of these two children. Now that they are in trouble, I canât turn the other cheek, can I?â
âHave you forgotten that this is the first time we are coming out for our honeymoon?â
Lucas looked at her indifferently. âYou told me that you look forward to the trip very much, but now look at all the thirdâwheelers.â
âArenât we on a long honeymoon? Besides, Stella and the children have no place to go.â
âShe is now an internationally renowned pianist, Cicily. Do you think she has no place to go?â
âGeez, I donât care.â
Yvonne started, to exert her ready righteousness again. âNow that Weston is looking around for a few of them again, they must be in some kind of trouble. If he didnât go beyond his limits, why would Cicily hide from him?â
He swept a glance at her. âAre you sure? The current Weston can be said as completely subservient to Stella. He will not hesitate to pick the stars in the sky for her. How could he do anything bad to Stella?â
âYou men only know how to speak for men! If he was really that good, would they have run away?â
She suddenly stood up furiously, threw the towel at him, and turned around to leave.
He grabbed her hand agitatedly and held her back, pressing her waist.
She was keenly aware of his change and blushed. âDonât youâ¦.â
He ignored her resistance and kissed her neck, moving downward little by little.
The two of them were by the pool and wearing swimsuits.
Yvonne purposely brought the pale yellow swimsuit she was wearing, not expecting that they wouldnât go to the beach and only swim in this pool.
They originally agreed to go to the hot spring together, but the plan could only be canceled now.
