Chapter 349 He was not a touchyâfeely kind of person.
Sometimes, he was domineering.
What Yvonne could not resist was his unintentional tenderness.
She stretched out her hands, wrapped her arms around his neck, and murmured, âThere will be no next time.â
âOkay... no next time.â Their voices were muffled by the blanket pulled over them.
The phone on the side table flashed for a moment when a message came in.
No one noticed it.
Weston said they were going to take a nap, and he really did not touch her but simply held her from behind.
After a while, his breathing became slow. Stella had her eyes closed. Then, she opened her eyes and looked down at the hand on her waist without moving. After an hour, Ben came over and knocked on the door. Weston opened his eyes, then Ben knowingly left.
Stella asked, âCan you go now?â
âYouâre so unwilling to see me, huh?â
She did not reply. His voice was still a bit hoarse, as if he came here really for a rest. He pecked her on the cheek. âIâm going back to the office. Call me if thereâs anything.â She nodded and asked him again, âYou are not coming here tonight, right?â He stood up and put on the coat he put on the table casually and buttoned the cufflinks. Hearing that, he looked at her. âDo you want me to?â
She pressed her lips. âToday is the anniversary of you and Guinevere. Of course I wonât be that ignorant.â
The man stopped his action of buttoning the cufflinks abruptly.
But it was only for a moment.
After getting dressed, he walked to the bedside and bent down to kiss her forehead. âI wonât be coming tonight.â Her slender eyelashes cast a shadow beneath her downcast eyes.
Her face was expressionless.
Staring at her for a while, he suddenly tilted her head upward to make her look into his eyes. He did not have to explain it to her at first. But seeing her pitiful look, he felt his heart melting. He kissed her nose and said, âIâm not going to be with her.â She slowly clenched her fists without saying anything. Avoiding that topic, she said, âCan I ask you about the matters of Roger studying abroad?â While talking, she reached out to help the man adjust his tie. As he watched her action, his eyes darkened.
Despite knowing her initiative was purposeful, he kept one eye closed and replied, âSure. You can ask me anything.â She breathed a sigh of relief. âThank you.â
She was sincere.
His Adamâs apple was rolling up and down. Seeing her obedient look, he suddenly had an urge to stay here, not wanting to leave. It felt just like they were a normal couple. A lovely wife was tidying up the clothes for her husband and seeing him out. This was what he disdained the most in the past. Holding her hand, he wrapped her whole fist in his hand and straightened the stiff fingers of her fist little by little, and interlocked them with his. Then, he lifted her face and exchanged a deep kiss with her. âTomorrow...â
He said in a hoarse voice, âIf you feel okay tomorrow, I will take you somewhere.â
