Stella shook her head.
"Not really." Weston kissed her on the ear.
âIf youâre tired,go up and rest."
"Okey." Stella massaged her shoulder.
âThereâs a birthday party in the evening.Donât oversleep,â he whispered.
âI know.Will there be lots of people?"
"Of course.â Weston looked at her.
âScared?â
âA little,â Stella confessed.
"I haven't seen this many people in a long time."
When she finished, Weston said nothing but looked at her with eyes that were as deep as an endless starry sky.
No one could read his mind unless he expressed himself.https://novelebook.com/home1He vaguely understood the ambiguity of what she had just said.She sounded like she was implying that Weston had forced her to be at home all this time, which was why she had not seen many people! Stella could clearly tell that Weston did not like to hear any complaints from her in this regard.
Thus, with that in mind, she tickled his palm and tried to please him.
"I don't really want to deal with so many people, so I feel better at home.â Westonâs expression clearly softened a lot after she said that.
âEndure it a little longer,â he coaxed warmly.
âItâll only be a few more days.I'll take you home soon." Stella nodded and leaned in his arms.
Weston couldn't see it, but the smile on her face slowly faded until she was expressionless again.
Weston appeared to be the same stoic man during this time, but Stella could see that he was only this stable when she stayed obedient and let him keep her around.
As soon as she showed the slightest sign of not wanting to be locked up at home, Westonâs mood would change like the sea before a storm.
Weston seemed ill too.
Two mentally ill people being so close to each other...she could only wonder if they were healing or dragging each other down.
Guinevere took Zachary with her, but not before Warren gave her a few words of advice.
âYouâre the one who asked for Zack.He'll be staying with you for the next few days." Zachary seemed reluctant and held out his arms to Warren.
âHug!â Warren smiled.
âWhat a child.Why are you so timid?" Warren hugged Zachary for a short while before handing him to Guinevere again.
âYouâre his biological mother.I'm more comfortable with him being with you, and I know you donât want him to be with Stella..." Warren paused for a moment.
âYou heard what Wendy just said.Stella is Mrs.Ford now.It's only natural that she develops a bond with Zack.However, youâre Zackâs biological mother.We can't stop you from seeing him, but whether or not you can make Zach stay will depend on your ability.â Guinevere understood completely and nodded.
âI know, Grandpa."
After that, she left with a reluctant Zachary.
Warren had a lot of things to deal with and could not keep an eye on them.
Wendy was free, but she was not about to help Guinevere with her child.
Just a short while later, Zachary started throwing another tantrum.
âGrandma!â he shrieked.
He frowned and scrunched his face up.
âCome on.We donât want Grandma.No Grandma! Mommy is here!" Zachary could understand some simple sentences but just could not say them.
When he heard the words no and grandma, he became so upset that he burst into a wail.
