Henry shook his head. âShe wonât forgive me.â
Weston fell into a short silence. After that, he said, âIf she knew what happened back then, she would probably be even less likely to forgive you.â
Angelina hadnât recovered her old memories yet, and she didnât know that she was the same Faye back then. If she knew about all that, she wouldâve never made up with Henry again.
Henry was worried and unsure whether he should tell Angelina the truth.
Many people visited Weston, including Nicole, who was crying and shouting outside, begging to see him.
Weston did not see any of them and never let them in the ward.
Emma and Elias also visited him occasionally. Stella kept her promise and never stopped the two children from seeing him. However, she would never show up again.
Weston could not meet Stella, but he did not slow down in his pursuit of her.
Weston frequently sent gifts like bags, shoes, and jewelry to Stellaâs studio. He also sent her flowers every day and pursued her with great fanfare. If Stella had been willing, he would have showered her with gifts like luxury cars and villas.
A month passed quickly. Weston was almost out of the hospital.
Stellaâs colleagues threw a party for her and invited some of her familiar friends. Stella was going on a tour soon, so they wanted to celebrate her in advance.
Weston was among the guests lounging around. Many at the party were Stellaâs friends, who were all laughing while chatting with her.
Stella saw the eyeâcatching Weston in the crowd from a distance but simply pretended not to see him.
Emma and Elias were also dressed up for the occasion and looked like a little princess and little prince.
The two little ones did not overthink Westonâs presence and were happy to see him coming over. They went to him and greeted him chirpily.
Emma, in particular, was very welcoming.
Emma greeted him enthusiastically. âDaddy!â
Weston picked her up in his arms and responded to her with a hum. He rubbed her head and turned to Elias afterward.
Elias was much more reserved than Emma. He had not yet fully approved of Weston, so he greeted him coolly. âYouâre here?â
Weston smiled and rubbed his head too.
Many eyes were on him. After all, Westonâs presence at the party alone was a big enough deal. Besides, he had his two children with him.
Most people in the circle knew Weston and Stellaâs complicated relationship, but it was their first time seeing them together like this.
Stella watched Weston walk to her with the two little ones. She wore a polite smile, but her flat tone devoid of any warmth. âDidnât I tell you not to appear in front of me until I figured it out?â
Weston said, âI wasnât going to come, but I couldnât resist.â
Stella frowned slightly. âYouâre completely untrustworthy. How many times have you gone back on your word?â
âI wanted to be a man of my word.â
Weston suddenly took Stellaâs hand and tapped her palm. âBut I wanted to try my luck. It was my chance to see you. What if it worked? Youâre so happy today. Maybe youâd be merciful and let me see you more.
If Iâm lucky, maybe Iâll even get to kiss you againâ¦â
Stella glared at Weston for saying such things with the two children around. âShut up!â
Seeing that he had no intention of shutting up, she reached out and covered his mouth. She warned coldly, âDonât be shameless!â
Weston gently looked at her and kissed her on the hand. âHm.â
