Chapter 1252Chapter 1252
For a long time, Weston just stared at Stella as if he’d never gotten tired of her face.
“I thought it was pretty obvious,” he said.
Like Stella, he was also wearing a thick padded ski jacket plus a few more layers of clothes underneath it, yet even when he was dressed like that, he
still seemed to be towering over everyone else around him.
He reached out his hand to adjust Stella’s collar to cover her up more snugly so she was more protected from the cold, and with a helpless tone, he
asked, “Haven’t my actions been obvious enough to you yet?”
He would never have decided to come to such a place had it not been for Stella. He wasn’t a man who wasted his time with leisurely activities. In fact,
traveling had never interested him at all. With his skills and talents, he could use the time he had to go through some more documents or sign a few
more contracts, earning him millions more, instead of throwing precious time away by traveling.
Why else would he set aside such a huge potential to come to such a harsh and inhospitable place that not even birds laid their eggs?
Stella perfectly understood what he was implying, but
she had no desire to talk to him, so she just glared at him
and walked alongside Bradley back to the tents.
The crew had already set up their tents. Among them was Caspian Yates, who noticed Stella from a
distance, and he went over to say hello.
He had initially wanted to have a little chat with her, but he decided against it when he noticed the glum–
faced man following her from behind. And so, after a short greeting, Caspian quickly left her and just went
about his own business.
He loved nothing more than to catch up with Stella, of course, but he knew they still had a lot of time in
the future, so there was no need to be too hasty about it.
After all, Caspian had no desire to go up against such a man as Weston Ford. By the looks of it, it
seemed Weston had a new terrifying level of possessiveness over Stella, and putting himself into hot
soup for no reason by crossing him would be foolish.
The others who were there seemed to agree with Caspian. Almost no one came up to talk to Stella at all.
Most
simply kept quiet, while some were even too afraid to look at them.
Stella could clearly sense what was happening as she sat there. Ever since Weston showed up, almost
no one came up to chat with her at all. She turned to the man beside her, whose presence was as
intimidating as that of a god and could not help but blurted out, “Can’t you just leave
me alone?”
Weston swept a glance around them and nonchalantly responded, “But this place is huge. Why should
you be the only one who can stay here?”
“But if you’re here,” Stella argued angrily, “everyone’s going to be too afraid to talk to me!”
“How is it my fault that everyone here is a coward?”

Speechless, Stella glared at him coldly before getting up and finding someone else to talk to. Weston chuckled as he watched her angrily stomping away, and his eyes even lit up slightly.
The first person Stella went to was Caspian. He stopped what he was doing as he listened to her talking
to
himself, but then he suddenly glanced in a certain direction.
Seeing that Weston was staring at them, he paused and asked Stella, “Are you in a row with Weston Ford?”
“Can you not mention him?” Stella replied unhappily, not least because Caspian suddenly interrupted her while she was still talking. “You’re spoiling
my mood.”
“If you are quarreling, I suggest you clear everything up with him; otherwise, the whole crew would never be at ease.”
Caspian spoke in a joking tone, but Stella could still tell
that there was some truth in his words. She was fully aware of how much Weston was capable of making everyone there feel anxious.
“I’m sorry,” she smiled at Caspian. “It looks like I’ve troubled you.”
“You don’t have to apologize,” Caspian shook his head. If anything, it’s all just because that man over there is too powerful. Even if he did nothing and
just stood there, everyone would still be worried that they might have slighted him somehow.”
Stella thought about it for a while, then she said nothing more to Caspian and turned to leave.
She had no intention of dragging anybody else into the mess between her and Weston, so she went through today’s schedule before deciding to chat
with Bradley about tomorrow’s plans. She would go straight back to her tent afterward to practice the piano by herself.
When Bradley saw her approaching, he stopped what he was doing and whispered something to the person beside him.
