Chapter 1064Chapter 1064 Stella‘s tone seemed a little agitated. Sensing she was losing control, she took a deep
breath to calm down.
“A lot has happened in the last few days... Weston, I want to know... I want to know that he‘s safe and
alive, so I can
“He‘s in Compassvale,” Weston interrupted her.
Weston‘s eyes were dark, more intense than the night. Only her shadow reflected off of his eyes.
Turbulent emotions flowed in them, like dark currents under the calm sea.
“He‘s doing well. You don‘t have to worry.”
Stella tried to suppress the urge to cry and dropped her head. She knew Weston would not tell her the
truth, but her heart pounded heavily and hurt whenever she heard him lie with her own ears.
She wanted to grab him by the collar and question him for lying to her. Why?
He had clearly forced Roger to death, but he could still lie to her. Was he simply heartless?
“Okay, I know.” Stella did her best to suppress the surging emotions in her heart. She tried to sound as
calm as possible. “I‘m relieved as long as he‘s well.”
Then, she reverted to her lifeless look.
Weston frowned. He was keenly aware that something was wrong with her. “What‘s wrong? Did you hear
something?”
Stella shook her head. “I‘m just a little uncomfortable being cooped up here for so long...”
Weston picked her up. “You‘ll get used to it in time.”
Then, he strode into the bedroom and put her on the bed. “It‘s late. Get some rest.”
After saying that, he planted a kiss on her forehead.
When he was about to leave, Stella tugged his wrist. “You haven‘t rested for a long time either. Aren‘t you
going to
sleep?”
Weston turned around. “I have some things to take care of.” He caressed her cheeks, “I‘ll be back with
you soon.”
Stella shook her head and looked him in the eye. “I want
you to sleep with me. I can‘t sleep without you by my side.” Weston‘s eyes twinkled a little because of her sudden clinginess. Stella knew he could never regret her
request in this manner. Weston would rarely reject her whenever she showed weakness and reliance on
him.
Just as she expected, Weston‘s gaze gradually deepened.” Sleep. I‘m right next to you,” he said with a
doting tone.
Weston took off his jacket and casually threw it aside. He lifted the blanket and lay down beside Stella.
He lifted his hand and took her into his arms.
Stella closed her eyes and nuzzled into his arms. She put her ear close to his chest and listened to the
steady rhythm of his heartbeat.
“Don‘t leave until I fall asleep.” Her seemingly domineering words softened Weston‘s heart at once. He
put his broad palm on her back and stroked her long hair. Weston looked down and kissed her on the top
of her head. “Don‘t worry. P‘ll always be there for you.”
He thought that keeping her locked up and close to him was the right choice. Stella would resent and
hate him at first, but with time, he would be the only person left in her world. Everywhere she looked,
there would only be
him.
Her initial resentment would change and fade. Eventually , she would uncontrollably be dependent on
him. Even if Stella did not want to, she could not fight her instincts. She would be so attached to him that
she could never leave.
She only had him as the only person in her world. Who else could she rely on?Previous Chapter
