Weston stroked her hair beside her cheek and kissed her temple. “You know what I like,
Stella.
Don‘t challenge my patience.”
The ward was silent for a moment.
The food Roger brought over in the afternoon was still on the table beside them.
Weston swept a glance at the table and asked Ben to bring another set of food over.
She frowned. “I have already eaten.” “You have not if you have just taken a few bites.”
He saw that there was still a lot left of her portion. She did not eat much.
Although Roger cared about her, he was not that attentive. She did not want to worry him, so she
pretended to be full when eating with him. He thought that she had had enough food, so he left.
However, her appetite had been bad all year–or rather, it had been unpredictable.
“If you want to stay in the crew yet not take care of your diet, I will reconsider—”
“Alright, I will eat!” she interrupted in annoyance.
All he knew was to use this to threaten her. Why was he so annoying?
He glanced at her, feeling nothing in particular. Instead, he somehow felt a little pleasant. He asked Joan
to make some food and send them over.
She couldn‘t help but say, “There is no need to make such a big fuss.”
She did think it was quite a hassle, and there was no need for Joan to travel so far just to send a meal
over.
“I paid that much to hire her. What do you think it was for?” He frowned. “You are so considerate toward
her. Why don‘t you know how to be considerate to
me?»
She did not say anything.
She could not understand why he compared himself to Joan.
Joan was not disrespectful like he was.
Besides, he had never actually cared when she had been considerate of him before.
She ate very fast in annoyance, He tried to feed her, but she refused.
The man did not lose his patience. He fed her some soup slowly and then had Ben clean up.
“Take a rest if you are tired.” He glanced at the clock. “I will be right here.”
She shook her head. “Roger is coming later. You can go back to your office if you have work to do.”
“Are you trying to chase me away?” “No. Roger is coming.”
She frowned. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, “By the way, do you know anything about
studying abroad?” She remembered that he had also studied abroad, so he should be more informed
about this matter.
When she was still studying, she planned to further her studies abroad. But because of Roger‘s illness,
she could only start working as soon as possible.
Now that she thought about it, it was a pity that she did not know much about it.
His face changed. “Why are you asking me this all of a sudden? Are you planning to quit acting and
instead further your studies?”
“It‘s not me. It‘s Roger.”
She pondered for a moment and asked him, “What do you think of Compassvale University?” She had
always been serious about Roger‘s future. She also knew that it was better to ask Weston directly about
these matters. Although his character was bad, his excellence and ability were evident to all.
