Weston had bought her many things, including the bracelet, necklace, nightgown, and bags. She did
not take them with her and packed quickly.
In less than fifteen minutes, she was done packing and stood in front of Weston with her luggage.
Weston poured himself a glass of champagne. When he saw her like this, he shifted his gaze away and
said coldly, “Take all your stuff with you. Don’t leave them here. It’s an eyesore.”
Stella looked down. “I packed all my belongings… The rest are the things you bought for me.”
After saying that, she took out a card and placed it on the coffee table. She told him, “I’m returning this
to you too. I’ve left whatever I’ve bought with the card in the room. If you have time, you can check the
bills.”
She said that, but she knew Weston was not a stingy man. She was just desperate to draw a line with
him.
Weston added two ice cubes into his glass. As the ice hit the glass, it made a crisp sound.
Clink! That sound made Stella feel a little restless. At this point, she became more worried and nervous
that something would go wrong.
From his sudden return earlier, things had escalated faster than she could imagine. She did not expect
that he would let go of her so easily. She could not help but think that if she had known he would react
like this, maybe she should have let him know earlier.
Weston finished the champagne in the glass in a gulp as his Adam’s apple bobbed.
When he titled his head up, his action revealed his clearly defined jaw and the perfect outline of his
figure. He did not say anything yet, so Stella waited for his reply.
Weston stood with his back facing her. After a short moment, he finally said, “Take the worthless stuff
away with you. If you won’t, throw them away.”
Stella lowered her glance and said softly, “Then could you please help me discard them… Or let Joan
take care of it.”
Weston did not turn to look at her. He continued to let her face his cold and broad back.
Stella stared blankly ahead for a moment and finally muttered softly, “Goodbye.” Then, she took her
luggage and turned to leave. Weston was left alone in the room. He waited until he heard the sound of
the door lock and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, there was nothing but coldness in
his eyes. The deep emotions within were unreadable.
When he recalled the way Stella had left without hesitation just now, he suddenly slammed his glass on
the floor.
Crash! The wine glass broke into pieces on the floor.
He had already slammed a glass in the office earlier. The wound on his hand was still bleeding a little.
His wound had reopened because of his actions and painted his palm red.
From the moment he came back, Stella had not noticed the wound on his hand.
It was dark at night, but Weston did not turn on the light. His figure seemed to have blended into the
endless night with nothing but coldness and loneliness looming around.
LLL
At first, Stella was still in disbelief. She could not believe it until she actually walked out of the
apartment and left. She had easily escaped Weston’s grasp. She looked back to find that Weston did
not come after her. The dark apartment behind her looked like a great abyss. She had expected the
beast to come after her, but he did not.
Was she finally free?
Stella pressed her lips. She was much more relaxed. After taking a few steps, she suddenly ran. She
had left behind
all those complicated emotions. Her only thought was that she was finally free.
She finally did not have to put up an act with the people she hated. She did not have to face her unborn
child’s questions in her nightmares. It had always haunted her. How could she be so close to the
person who had killed her baby?
–
At last, she did not have to live and be tormented by all these feelings.
Stella stopped a cab and let out a long sigh of relief.
