Stella frowned and refused subconsciously. “If there‘s something going on with the crew...”
“I will inform them.”
Her face darkened, and she stopped talking. Weston took it as acquiescence and put his forehead
against hers. After talking with her intimately for a while, he stood up and left with Ben.
After he left, she sighed with relief.
As she closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembled a little.
What he told her before he left made her feel anxious. He said that he was taking her to a place to relax
and asked her to be prepared. Although he did not say it clearly, she understood what he was hinting at.
She had already promised him to return to her old self with her heart full of only him within a year.
And he had already given her some time to adapt.
It went without saying what would happen tomorrow as they were both adults.
He did not touch her before. Now that they had spent a lot of time together, it was clear what he wanted
for tomorrow.
She let out a sigh and rolled her sleeves up, revealing the goosebumps on her arms.
Thinking about the moment of intimacy just now, her skin felt tight with refusal. She had no idea how she
could muddle through tomorrow.
She could fool him with her acting and make him think she was still the same Stella as before.
She could act, but her body could not lie.
She simply could not accept his touch and was only forcing herself to accept it every time he touched
her.
If she had not pinched her palm to force herself to calm down with the pain, she would not have been
able to resist giving Weston a slap. Every time he got near her, she would think of how he interacted
intimately with Guinevere.
Then she would be reminded of her lost child.
She was so depressed that she once wanted to jump off a building.
When she thought about the pain she suffered when the child was smashed into pieces and removed
from her body, it was impossible to not hold any grudge.
How could she accept him in such a state?
But if she could not satisfy him, he might extend it to another year.
She was foggy and a bit disturbed.
Roger came over on time after his afternoon class.
If it was not for her insistence that he attended the class, he certainly would not have left her bedside By
the time he arrived, she had already changed her clothes.
“Are you really going to be discharged from the hospital?” She nodded, “I have recovered. The doctor
has just checked on me. I can be discharged already.” He was still a bit worried. “Mr. Lane said that you
can take your time. Why don‘t you stay for another two days?”
“I am really fine.” She felt helpless. “Don‘t treat me like a porcelain doll. Aren‘t you busy with your work in
the laboratory today? After I am discharged, you should go back to campus.”
“Why don‘t we just go home today, Stella?” They had a house outside the campus and usually lived there
together. She had been busy with business trips or other matters lately, so they had not lived there
together for a long time.
She shook her head and said, “I still have some matters to take care of. Besides, the shooting will start
soon, so I will not be able to be with you all the time. You must learn how to be independent, okay?“
