Stella did not expect to see Weston sleeping soundly beside her for the whole night. He did nothing rude to her except hold her in his arms.
Unlike before, he did nothing that crossed the line.
Unfortunately, her impression of him did not improve because of this small matter. Instead, she became warier of him.
What was his real motive?
Meanwhile, it had been a long time since Weston had such a good sleep. As a result, he overslept the next day.
When he opened his eyes, he met a pair of defensive eyes. For a moment, Weston thought he was still in a dream.
He reached out and caressed Stellaâs cheek. He had just woken up, so his voice was still a little raspy.
âYouâre awake?â
The manâs voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of gentle indulgence that Stella had never heard before.
âWhy are you looking at me like this? Hm?â Stella avoided his touch impassively. âCanât I leave yet?â
With those words, Weston woke up immediately. He shut his eyes and lay down in bed again. He rested his arm on his forehead and muttered, âCanât we just stay like this? Isnât this good?â
His sudden question made Stella frown. She struggled to get up, but Weston opened his eyes and pulled her into his arms. The two suddenly got incredibly close to each other.
Stella wanted to look up and hit his chin immediately but Weston frowned and pressed her waist, holding her tighter and tighter.
They were so close that Stella could clearly feel his morning reaction.
She was furious. âWeston!â
She shouted his name with a hint of anger in her tone, like a cute little angry hedgehog.
Weston knew why she got angry. However, he was not annoyed to see her reaction. On the contrary, he was amused. He chuckled in a good mood, âHavenât you seen it before? Hm?â He suddenly leaned closer and whispered into her ears, âMen do that in the morning. Donât you know?â
Stellaâs hands stiffened. She looked away and tried to push him away. However, Weston held her tight and refused to let her go.
Stella was not a young and naive girl. When she was married to Weston, they both got along like a normal couple, save for Westonâs unpleasant attitude towards her. Even though Weston did not stay at her place, they both did everything a couple would do.
She knew how Weston behaved during a normal time and when he wanted intimacy. She knew what his reaction meantâ¦
Stella closed her eyes and forcibly suppressed her strong sense of disgust. She questioned, âIf we do it once, will you let me go and never come back into my life?â She looked at his eyes seriously. She seemed resolute to use this opportunity to draw the line between them forever.
The look on his face slowly tightened. He suddenly lifted her chin and asked, âWhat if I say no?â
Stella gnashed her teeth and glared at him almost hatefully. âDonât make me hate you.â
Westonâs voice was low. âI thought you already hate me.â Stella shook her head. âI have no love or hate for you.â He did not just kill all her love. He had made her unable to love. Despite it all, though, he did not do anything wrong to her. He was the indirect reason for Guinevereâs madness. The ones who had hurt her were Guinevere and the group of kidnappers. He was the reason why Guinevere attacked her, but he was not the cause. Ever since their reunion, Weston failed to keep his promise and repeatedly forced himself on her.
