These things were common and unsurprising.
Stella was not ashamed, but she was easily embarrassed. She could never be as bold as Weston was.
Weston picked the condoms with a straight face. When he heard Stellaâs voice, he looked back at her and asked, âWhich one do you like?â
Stella was rendered completely speechless. She wrinkled her nose slightly and shrugged uncomfortably.
âAnything is fine.â
Weston frowned. âYou say itâs fine now, but youâll start whining and pouting in bed.â
Stellaâs face instantly went beetâred.
Two young girls were shopping in the supermarket around them too. Weston was goodâlooking and easily drew othersâ attention to him. The scene of a handsome man standing by the shelves and picking out condoms was striking enough. Worse, he had to say those words with such a straight face.
Stella really wanted to cover his mouth.
The few girls casually looked at them. Stella walked to Weston, grabbed a random box, and urged Weston to leave.
âLetâs go,â she whispered with gritted teeth.
âWait.â Weston grabbed her wrist. He acted as if he did not notice the stares.
âWhat?â Stella asked inaudibly. She was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into a hole in the ground.
Weston said softly, âItâs not the right size. Itâs too small.â
Stella was stunned in silence. A short moment later, she asked,â There are sizes for these? I thought theyâre all the same...â
Weston raised his hand and gently tapped her on the forehead.â If itâs too small, itâll be uncomfortable.â
Once again, Stella found herself unable to speak. She could feel sense the meaningful gazes of the few girls around them, and this made her feel a little hopeless.
Weston, however, thought she was very adorable this way. âAre you embarrassed?â
âWhat do you think?â Stella glared at him.
Weston brushed her hair. âDonât be shy. Itâs just a normal thing between couples.â
Stella muttered, âYou can choose yourself. Iâm leaving now.â
Weston gave her a helpless smile. Then, he put all the large sized ones on the shelf into the shopping cart. There were not many large ones left, and he took them all.
Stella could hear the girls around them gasping at his actions. She felt so hot and embarrassed.
This is so embarrassing, she thought to herself.
When they got to the car, Stella then remembered something.â Why did you suddenly buy all these? I thought we always...â
Stella and Weston rarely had protected sex. It was the same in their shortâlived marriage. Weston would never practice protected sex. Therefore, she always thought he was willing to have a child with her.
When Stella remembered this again, she realized this was part of her complaints about Weston. If he never planned to have a baby with her, why didnât he take proper measures from the start? He even told her to get an abortion after learning about her pregnancy Stella remembered how hard she begged him. She pleaded with him to let her keep the child. At last, Weston reluctantly agreed to let her give birth to the baby. Even so, she failed to protect the child in the end.
Weston could have prevented the tragedy between them. He had many chances, yet he did not take any action.
