That secret of hers was something that would wound any manâs ego. To learn that the woman he was with had to take contraceptives to even accept his touch-it was something of a shameful discovery for any man, let alone someone as possessive as Weston, In Westonâs eyes, though. Siellaâs panicked look made him think of something else.
âIt looks like youâre really worried about getting me angry,â he said, his expressions much softer now as he stroked her hair, But he still fixed his gaze on her Stella said nothing, but her anxious look gave him all the answers he needed.
He sighed softly âI was just worried about your health. Iâm not a savage animal, you know.â
Stella finally sighed in relief âJust give me a second. I wonât be long. Iâll be ready for it when Iâm back Weston gazed at her silently for a while, then kissed her forehead gently. âLetâs just get a good rest tonight.â
He then held her in his arms and lay back down on the bed.
Stella tried to struggle for a while, but he held the back of her head âStay still,â he warned.
She could feel the change in his tone, so she instantly stopped moving.
That whole night, Weston truly did nothing to her. Her stiff body slowly and gradually relaxed and she finally got a good nightâs sleep.
The next morning, Stella woke up in an empty bed. Weston was no longer around.
She massaged her temples. After a while, she decided to go out and meet Roger.
They agreed to meet in a cafe. Roger was already waiting for her when she got there, but he wasnât alone. The girl Stella met last night was there too.
because of what happened last night. Stella sat in front of them and said hello to her brother.
She then turned to the girl next to him, paused, then chuckled and exclaimed, âI donât think I even know your name yet!â
The girl had been nervous to finally meet Stella, but seeing his sister addressing her in a friendly manner cheered her up significantly.
âHello,â she chirped. âIâm Riley Bale. Iâm Robbâsâ¦â
She paused and turned to Roger. Sensing his calm demeanor, she added, âIâm his classmate.â
âYou donât have to be so nervous,â Stella assured her with a smile. âI really want to thank you for your call last night. If you have time to spare, Iâd like to treat you to a nice meal!â
âOh, no!â Riley declined, waving her hands. âItâs fine! Really! Iâm Robbâs close friend, after all! I was worried when I saw him drinking alone last night, so I thought I should call youâ¦â
âWhoâs your close friend?â Roger cut her off impatiently. âI donât ever recall being your friend.â
âIâ¦â Riley stuttered, clearly embarrassed.
âIs that how you treat a girl?â Stella snapped at Roger. âThat is not how our parents raised you!â
Roger went silent immediately.
Now Riley wasnât upset at all because she had just spotted his weakness. In fact, she was even smiling sheepishly So it turned out that he was very obedient to Stella.
