What Roger said that day left a deep impression on Stella’s mind. Sometimes, when she was working in
her office, she would find herself asking the same question.
Had her heart really softened towards Weston?
She simply refused to admit to such a thing. At the very least, she knew for sure that right now, she still
could not stand him all that much.
But then, a few days later, she started to feel as if something was amiss. She hadn’t seen Weston for a
good while now.
But perhaps she only felt that way because he had been pursuing her so aggressively recently, and him
turning up at her office with all kinds of gifts every day, that his total absence right now felt like a drastic
change.
Every time she walked past the front desk, she would automatically slow down in case the receptionist
might stop her. But it seemed there was nothing left for her there these days.
Navig@te back to th€ roots of thïš substance at n0v^lebookAt first, the sudden change made her feel a little uncomfortable, but after a while, that discomfort
changed to relief.
Perhaps he really had given up on her?
She let out a sigh. It felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted off her chest.
She might not be used to it initially, especially since she had been seeing Weston everywhere all the time
in the past, but then it was nothing more than a feeling of not being used to a change, which faded as
time passed. After a while, even that feeling was gone.After the concert tour, Stella asked Angelina and Yvonne if they wanted to get together and have a night
out. Angelina told her that she had no time right now because she had to take care of her daughter.
Yvonne agreed at first, but she called her back shortly afterward and hesitatingly told her that she had no
time to go out with her at the moment.
Stella thought she was acting a little strange but gave it no further thought.
One day, after picking Elias and Emma up from their school, she bumped into an old acquaintance in the
shopping mall–Diana Belford.
“Stella?” cried Diana, visibly surprised to see Stella.
They had not seen each other for a very long time. Stella stood there staring at Diana
for a while and suddenly felt tears welling up in her eyes.
“Kids,” she turned to Elias and Emma, “this is Mommy’s auntie.”
Diana was initially surprised to see the twins, but then the surprise turned into joy.
“I planned to meet up with you a while ago,” she told Stella, “but something kept coming up. Besides, I
heard that you’ve been doing really well these days, so I didn’t want to bother you.”
“You will never be a bother to me, Aunt Diana.”
Diana smiled.
“Why don’t we find a place to sit down and have a chat for a while?” she suggested.
“Sure!”
They both had their children with them, so they had to settle for a coffee shop.“I divorced Michael a long time ago, Stella.”
Stella was well aware of this.
“I found out about everything he did in the past,” she added.
“I’m sorry,” said Stella. “I should’ve told you much earlier.”
“Don’t mention it,” Diana shook her head. “It’s Michael’s fault, not yours.”
“So, how are you doing these days?” Stella asked.
“Not too bad.” Diana smiled.
She had always been pampered and sheltered by her family her whole life, so when she first found out
about what Michael did in the past, she was overwhelmed by doubt and pain that made her feel as if her
life was bleak and hopeless.
But time had indeed healed everything.
The initial shock and disbelief turned to unbearable misery and pain, though all of that had simmered
down through time and had gradually dissipated.
Diana could think about Michael now without feeling that piercing sting in her heart. In fact, she could
even face him without losing her composure now.
