Stella sighed. âI didnât mean to hide it from you, but...â
*Forget it. I know.â
Yvonne waved her hand. âItâs not like I donât go online. I know what youâve been through.
âNo wonder Weston insisted on being with you,â she lamented.â
Turns out you two have a past.â
The more resentment she felt, the more she spoke up. âI knew it all along. The Stella I know would never be willing to be the third wheel in someone elseâs relationship! There has to be more to Aside from being forced by Weston, there was indeed another hidden reason.
Yvonne added smugly, âLucas was always biased against you, wasnât he? After this news broke out, he didnât stop me from coming to visit you. He always found me a poor judge of character and gets fooled easily. He finally stopped nagging at me about this...â
She wasnât really angry that Stella hid the truth from her, with her main aim to meet Stella and catch up with her. However, she did not expect to see two luxury cars parked outside The Doghouse a short while after she met Stella.
Yvonne had sneaked out without Lucas knowing.
She had always enjoyed crowded places and decided to come to The Doghouse during this rare opportunity that she could leave the house.
Goosebumps appeared on her back as a bad feeling swarmed over her. âOh no. Dr. Quirk is here to nab me...â
âYouâre still so scared of him?â Stella asked.
Yvonne glared at her. âWhat do you mean by scared? Thatâs love, okay?â
âYouâre still so in love with him...â
Stella chuckled at how anxious she looked. At least Yvonne was happy in her marriage.
Her joy, however, was shortâlived as she looked at the text that Ben sent her.
âMr. Ford isnât in a good mood today. Mrs. Ford, can you please do something?â
Stella was stunned for a while, unable to comprehend why he would send a message like this to her.
Ben went on to inform her about the comments online.
That was when Stella found out about the trash that reporters had been writing.
No wonder Ben sent her that message in secret.
Given how possessive Weston was, this was major news indeed.
She packed her bag and said hurriedly, âI have something to attend to. Iâve got to run.â
Yvonne was stunned. âDonât go! Dr. Quirk will be coming real soon. Youâll have to stick around to defend me...â
âI probably canât even save myself,â Stella replied.
âWhat happened to you?â
In a resigned tone, Stella updated Yvonne about what had happened online.
Yvonne looked at her with disdain, âWhy are you being so submissive to your fiancé ? Itâs like you have no dignity at all.â
âWhat about yourself?â Stella refuted.
âNot at all!â
Yvonne explained, âThatâs just me giving my husband some dignity and pride. In fact, Dr. Quirk listens to me all the time. If | tell him to turn left, he wouldnât dare turn to the right!â
Stella pursed her lips. âIn that case, Weston listens to me too. Heâll give me anything I ask for.â
While it was true that Weston was overly possessive , he was also very generous to her.
Yvonneâs competitive streak was immediately aroused as she said, âThatâs nothing. Dr. Quirk is very diligent in the bedroom!â
Married women were always bolder with their words...
Stella remained silent, which made Yvonne smug. âWhy arenât you saying anything? No matter how well a man treats you, excellent performance in bed is still key.â
Stella felt that if she continued not to speak up for Weston, it might leave a dent in his reputation.
âWestonâs the same. Heâs rather persevering in bed, too.â
Both women continued their conversation, oblivious to the expressions on the faces of the two men standing behind them.
