Although Stella was a bit dissatisfied , she knew that he could outright forbid her from eating those
things if she kept arguing.
So, after much contemplation, she decided to negotiate.” Last night’s meal doesn’t count. Let’s count
from now. Once a week?”
Weston stared at her in silence, his eyes seemed to be telling her it was up to her to decide. “I will take
it as a yes if you won’t speak,” Stella continued
The man rubbed his brows helplessly. “I won’t take care of you when your stomach aches.”
Although Weston said that, he knew that it would be impossible for him to ignore her when she was
sick.
Joan, who was nearby, let out a sigh of relief. She thought that they would quarrel because of Zachary,
but nothing seemed to happen. At the same time, it confused her somehow.
Didn’t Ms. Ella have feelings for Mr. Ford, even for a bit?
She didn’t seem jealous at all.
This was Weston’s son from another woman! …or was it that the rich were all like this?
Joan shook her head. The world of the affluent was simply too complicated. They had a peaceful
breakfast together. Then, Weston answered a call. Stella looked at him from his back as she wiped her
mouth.
After a while, he walked to her. “Did you meet someone yesterday?”
She smiled. “Isn’t it a little late to be asking now?”
She shrugged. “I bumped into Guinevere in the fashion boutique yesterday. She seemed to know about
us already.
“Did she give you a hard time?”
Although Weston had learned about the incident, he still wanted to hear it from her.
“Of course she did. Look at who I am now…” Stella laughed. “She even said that you were simply using
me as a stand-in for Stella.” Speaking of this, she became sentimental. “She’s so arrogant. How would
she react if she found out that I am Stella and that you actually saved me, then changed my name and
forced me to stay by your side? To such an arrogant woman, you must’ve been really cruel to her. I am
very curious about how you turned a person like Guinevere into a madwoman after she met you.”
This was in no way a compliment.
However, Weston knew all too well that she was trying to be sarcastic and did not want to dwell on the
matter, and he simply slapped his forehead instead. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“Tell you what?” Stella was confused. “Oh, you mean Guinevere already knew about our relationship?
My bad. I was too tired yesterday, and I forgot to tell you. Anyway, now that you know, what are you
going to do?”
She looked at him eagerly, anticipating his response.
Weston, however, disliked her showing that face. “What do you think I’ll do?”
“Who knows? Maybe our one-year contract will end earlier?” Stella spoke her mind with a smile.
The man saw right through her. “You just want to leave me that badly, huh?”
“How can that be?” She was still dutifully playing the role of someone who loved him dearly. “Of course,
I want to stay by your side. It’s just that I wouldn’t be so shameless to stay by your side if you didn’t
need me.”
“Do you really mean it, or are you acting?” he asked suddenly
Stella said nothing. After a while, just as she was about to answer him, the man interrupted her. “Don’t
answer me.”
