Stella took her luggage and did not make things difficult for the front desk employee. After she walked
out of the hotel, she called Weston.
Weston did not answer at first. She listened to the beeping sound on the phone and grew irritated.
When the phone was hung up automatically, she looked
at her dark cell phone screen and took a deep breath. Then, she called him again.
This time, Weston took his time and finally answered it when the call was about to be disconnected.
“Yes?” His indifferent tone made Stella furious.
“Are you kidding me?” She stood in the cold wind on the street with her cell phone and luggage. “Did
you do this? Did you leave me without a place to stay to make me come back and beg you?”
Weston walked out onto the balcony with a glass of
champagne in his hand. He looked out at the nightlights in the city and said, “It’s pretty late already.”
He did not answer her question and said something else unrelated to her question. Even so, Stella
understood his message.
It was already very late, but she had no place to go. She
had no other choice but to look for him.
“You’re so petty and mean!” Stella’s face turned ugly.” Do you think you’re going to win like this? I’m
telling you
– I’m never going back!” Weston snickered and said indifferently, “You’re quite determined. So why are
you calling me?” Stella closed her eyes. “Were you lying when you said you’d let me go?”
.
“No. That wasn’t a lie.” Weston stood up straight and put his hand on the railing. He looked at the
distant starry sky and said, “You can stay outside, and you can come back if you can’t find a place
outside. I won’t force you.”
He said he would not force her, but all he did was remove all her options.
Stella was so angry that she miraculously calmed down.“ Do you think that by locking up my house and
forbidding the hotel to let me stay, I wouldn’t be able to find another place to go?” Weston’s gaze turned
dark. He said indifferently, “Well, you do have your friends.
“But who can you go to?” He looked down at the time on his watch and mentioned a few of her friends.
“Yvonne? She might take you in, but she’d probably have a big fight with Lucas. Angelina? She’s a
good choice. Well, Henry happens to be looking for her…”
“You’re despicable and shameless!” Stella did not want to hear more from him and hung up quickly. At
that point, she had the urge to smash her phone. However, she held back.
Indeed, she wanted to ask a friend for help. However, she knew she could not go to them after
Weston’s reminder. She would only cause trouble for them. Besides, even if they could take her in now,
she could not stay with them forever.
Weston was strong enough to make her homeless in the city. Well, unless she went to one of those
small and dodgy hotels.
Ahn City had developed rapidly in the last few years. Even the small hotels in the alleys had become
more formalized in the procedures. They would require online registration and real name verification
before she could check-in.
She searched for several hotels with her luggage, but she could not check in. She put her hopes on the
Internet cafe and tried to get a private room, but the result was the same.
Her identification was invalid everywhere. It was almost midnight, and many stores were still open on
the street.
Ahn City was a city that never slept, but Stella was not in the mood to enjoy the gorgeous night view.
All she wanted was to find a place to rest.
That was when Weston’s phone call came. He reminded her, “It’s almost midnight. Have you found a
place to stay?”
