Chapter 1353: Chapter 1356

Lucas could have looked better. When he heard that, he looked at Yvonne, nonchalantly saying, “I will go and ask the kitchen to get the food ready.”

Then, he left.

Yvonne walked up to Stella at once. “I’m sorry. Did we make you guys uncomfortable?”

“No.”

Stella said, “We were the ones who disturbed you.

“Come on. I don’t feel disturbed in the slightest…”

Stella said, “It’s okay. We can go anywhere anyway.”

“But aren’t you afraid that Weston will find you guys?”

“So be it.”

Stella was actually a little confused. “I just talked to Elias, and I know what’s on his mind now. He is worried that Weston will fight for the custody and they will be taken away.”

“So that’s what happened…”

Yvonne nodded and said, “Perhaps Weston has given them a bad impression.”

Stella said helplessly, “Not really. Elias might have heard about Weston’s reputation from somewhere, which is why he was so emotional.”

“So what are you going to do?”

“I’m going to take the two little ones around first, and then we’ll talk about it when it’s time to face it.”

“You are really…”

Yvonne did not know what to say, but she had already made her decision. As a friend, she could only support her. “Remember to call me if you run into problems.”

“Okay.”

After dinner, Stella played with the children for a while before bed.

She was fully aware that Lucas and Yvonne were always on a honeymoon period, let alone that they were actually on a honeymoon trip now. She certainly did not want to disturb them, so she returned to the room and did not come out much.

At night, there were signs of heavy rainfall.

Looking out the window, Yvonne was just about to pull the curtains when she suddenly saw a strange tall figure inside the courtyard and was startled-

“Ah!”

She screamed and hurriedly took a few steps back.

Lucas rushed straight out of the bathroom when he heard that. “What’s wrong?”

He looked at her in concern and looked out while following her gaze, only to discover a man in a black suit standing there.

He tossed the lamp in his hand aside, a little scared and speechless. “I knew it. Nothing good comes out of running into those two.” 11 He saw Weston standing in the courtyard like a rock, looking at the bedroom on the other side of the villa where Stella was staying. He knew Weston must have used every means at his disposal to inquire about Stella’s whereabouts. He must have rushed here almost immediately.

But now that he was he, he couldn’t find the courage to go up and see her.

Yvonne was also stunned but soon calmed, though she still clutched her chest in panic. “How did he find this place so quickly?”

“Don’t forget that he’s now the person in charge of the entire Ford Corporation, which is several times larger than it was three years ago. It’s as easy as pie to find Stella.”

Stella had just put Elias and Emma to bed when she suddenly received a call from Yvonne asking her to look outside.

Puzzled, she went to the floor–to–ceiling window and saw a familiar figure downstairs and froze.

Although she was mentally prepared for Weston to come looking for her, she did not expect that he would be this fast.

She pinched her throat helplessly. After ending the call from Yvonne, she called Weston.

He picked it up almost immediately, his breathing extremely raspy.
