He had a dedicated elevator which he could very well take
and avoid the sideway glances of all his employees.
The corner of Weston‘s lips lifted in a proud smirk as he gathered her in his arms. “I thought you would
enjoy how I staked my claim over you.”
Stella pursed her lips and remained silent.
Weston lowered his head and rubbed the ring on her ring finger. “Don‘t you want
others to know that you‘re mine?”
Stella blinked and said, “I was intending to go and visit Zack, but now that you‘ve left those horrendous
marks all over my body...”
She didn‘t forget Wendy‘s reminder to begin her attack, starting with Zack.
Sure enough, Weston lifted his head and looked at her in silence.
His eyes were deep and dark as if trying to look into the very depths of her soul.
He was trying to figure out what she was thinking.
Stella sighed. “Don’t look at me like that...”
Weston tilted her face upward. “Why do you suddenly want to visit Zack?”
“He‘s your son.”
Stella shrugged. “Whatever it is, I have to face him in the future.”
He surveyed her as his eyes narrowed dangerously. “I remember you used to detest him.”
“That was in the past before you broke off your engagement with
Guinevere.” She continued , “He‘s still part of the Ford family, after all. None of them will be willing to ha
nd Zack over to the Cohen‘s, be it your parents or grandfather, right?”.
Weston combed his fingers through her hair and tucked a loose wisp of hair behind her ear. “If
you don‘t like him, you don‘t necessarily need to see him in the future.”
Stella shook her head. “Although I‘m not yet at the point of seeing him as my own, he‘s still your
child...”
She looked straight into his eyes and said, seemingly genuinely, “He‘s
still so young and knows nothing. In any case, I won‘t be able to have children of my
own. I‘ll do my best to see him as my own son and treat him well.”
She had no idea how she managed
to suppress that strong repulsion from within her and force herself to say that.
However, the look in Weston‘s eyes gentled significantly.
He reached out and caressed her cheeks. “What made you
figure things out?” He was indeed trying to give Stella a child.
He knew that it was something constantly on her mind.
But it was also something that he could not force.
Despite his tremendous wealth , he remained helpless in the face of
scientific and technological limitations. No matter how hard he tried, things may not change. However, it
was certainly a viable option if Stella was willing to accept Zack.
If she could carry his child in the future, that would be for the best. They would jointly raise and care for
the child together with Zack.
But even if a miracle did not occur, she would at least have Zack to pin her hopes on.
Stella leaned into his
embrace and mumbled , “Perhaps, when I was kidnapped and faced with the possibility of never seeing
felt like
those things I obsessed over were no longer meaningful. Treasure the present moment and be together
ones; those are the most important things, aren‘t they?”
She said it so fluently and naturally as if she really meant it from the bottom of her heart. The next mome
him tightening his arms around her and deepening his embrace.
Stella knew that he believed her words.
She shut her eyes and felt the warmth emanating from his body.
It was so soothing and calming.
Stella couldn‘t help but think that if Weston had been that bit more compassionate to her during
their misbegotten marriage , her heart wouldn‘t have frozen and hardened to this extent. No matter how
tender and loving he was to her now, nothing could move her.
At the Ford Mansion.
Weston changed his mind at the last minute and brought her
back to the Ford Mansion instead of the apartment.
Perhaps because he took Stella‘s words to heart, he decided to let Stella spend more time bonding with
The moment they got out of their car, they saw a white Porsche at the door.
The housekeeper informed them that Guinevere had come over to visit.
