All things aside , Zachary did indeed resemble Weston a lot.
The men in the Ford family all had the same delicate eye and eyebrows. Stella couldnât help but think of her own childâ¦
If her child could be born, would he resemble Weston too?
He would probably look a lot like Zachary if it was a boy. If it was a girl, maybe she would look more like herself. However, Stella would never know.
After all, her child would never be born. It was dead from the day Weston abandoned her.
His child with Guinevere would be the star in everyoneâs eyes and loved by them. But what about her child?
Her child did not have a good life and died prematurely before it even came into this world. As for her, she had experienced a lot of setbacks herself, trying to keep the child.
At first, Weston asked her to get an abortion.
The more Stella thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She felt suffocated.
Right. She was the only one who looked forward to having a child. For Weston, perhaps, things would be better without it.
Stella suddenly found herself at a dead end. The awful sensation suffocated her. The same despair that once drowned her engulfed her once again.
Lost, she had no idea what to do. All she could do was curl into a ball.
Back in the living room.
Joan paced back and forth anxiously, unsure of what she should do next.
She saw hope when Weston finally came out. âSir, what should I do? The baby wonât stop crying!â
Weston glanced at Zachary. Joan thought the kid wanted to hug him, so she handed Zachary to him.
âMaybe heâs not used to the people here. If he continues to cry like this, wonât it be bad for the child?â
Weston said nothing and looked at the baby in his arms. After a short moment, he told Joan, âContact the butler and send him back to the Ford mansion.â
âFord mansion?â Joan was startled. âIsnât he staying here for a while?â
When she saw all the bags in the car earlier, she thought Weston was planning to keep the child for a while and improve their relationship. She had also believed that Weston would get Ella acquainted with Zachary.
Hence, she couldnât understand the thinking of these wealthy folk. Why would he let his mistress care for his spouseâs child? However, looking at Westonâs attitude, Ella had probably rejected him.
When she thought about it again, it only made more sense. Westonâs family owned a large business, and they could take good care of Zachary with just a nanny. Besides, Zacharyâs mother was a big star.
It was not their turn to worry.
âOkay, sir. Iâll contact the butler now.â
âWaaa! Waa-Waaaaa!â Unable to understand what was going on, Zacharyâs tiny face was full of snot and tears. Joan, a mother herself, found the babyâs cry a little unbearable. âHe canât just keep crying like this⦠It breaks my heartâ¦â
Weston seemed like he finally understood something. He looked at her and asked, âAre you sensitive to a babyâs cry?â
Joan paused for a moment and then shook her head helplessly. âSir, all mothers are the same. They canât bear to hear their child cry. It is a motherâs instinctâ¦â
Westonâs mouth was set into a tight line after hearing that.
Stella stayed in bed for a long time. After some time, she suddenly felt a weight beside her sinking into the sheets
