With the huge university campus covering a massive area, Stella didn’t expect to meet him again.
She planned to lower her head, pretend not to see him, and walk past him.
However, Justin walked straight to her and said, “Ella, can I talk to you for a while?”
She froze. “Mr. Hall, what do you want to talk about?”
He pressed his lips. “It’s something about Weston. I think you have the right to know about
After sending Bryce to the office, he had managed to squeeze some time to come to her.
They had not contacted each other for a long time and he felt that he should not meddle in matters
about Weston, but after much consideration, he still felt that he had the right to know.
He thought he had gotten over her, but he did not expect that he would be stirred when he saw her.
As they sat in the gazebo, she believed that she could never talk to him calmly again.
“What exactly is the matter, Mr. Hall?”
Knowing that she did not want to stay with him long, he wasted no time and went straight to the point.
“Are you together with Weston now?”
She said nothing in return, but her silence answered the question. Justin took off his glasses and
closed his eyes.
His hand clenched into a fist on the marble table.
After a good while of silence, he finally spoke. “I know it’s inappropriate to say this, but he’s not a good
man.”
“Is that all you want to say? If you are done…”
“He does not only have you. He is also seeing other women behind Guinevere’s back,” Justin
interrupted
He suddenly opened his eyes and stared into hers with a gaze as sharp as an eagle’s.
“You know about Lowe Garden, right? You met him there as well. After you left, he went to another
woman and has been supporting her in secret. Guinevere has been looking for that woman
everywhere.”
Stella was looking down so he couldn’t figure out her emotions.
Noticing how silent she was, he could not help but ask, “Don’t you have anything you want to
say?
“What do I want to say?” She looked at him with a bitter smile. “What is my relationship with Weston?
Can I say anything about what he wants to do?”
“You don’t have to put yourself in such a low position.” He suddenly felt a throbbing pain 111 his heart.
He originally disapproved of her choice, and she clearly had the opportunity to be with him openly, and
yet she chose to be Weston’s unseen lover.
He had even warned himself not to keep in touch with such a woman.
However…
“Ella, it’s not too late for you to turn back.”
Turn back? Don’t kid me. If I had the chance, I wouldn’t have chosen this path in the first place.”
He dropped his gaze. “I’m sorry. I was too weak.”
He remembered that she was also reluctant at the beginning.
It was he who did not protect her.
“It’s not your fault.” She stood up, unwilling to delve further into the topic with him.
“I am very sorry for nearly getting Bryce into trouble earlier. Let’s not see each other again in the future,
Mr. Hall. I’m afraid that you might be implicated,” Stella said genuinely. She was indeed sincere. He
knew she was speaking from her heart.
