“Why?”
Weston put the tablet down and gave her a sullen look.” What do you think?”
Stella thought of something and froze for a moment. Then, she stopped talking and sat down
obediently.
Weston laughed silently and picked up his tablet to continue his work.
He received a call before getting out of the car. It was the man he had sent to find Roger.
The man spoke with urgency. “Mr. Ford, we found him, but...”
“Say it.”
“He‘s on the Delta. He‘s on a captain‘s ship. I‘m afraid it‘ll be hard to deal with them.”
Weston rubbed his brow. “Find a way to negotiate with them and take him back.”
“Yes, sir.”
After the call ended, Stella casually asked, “What‘s wrong?”
Weston did not hide the truth from her. “My men found Roger.”
Stella pursed her lips. Obviously, the news excited her, but she refrained from showing her emotions.
She took a deep breath. “I’m glad we found him...”
Weston observed her expression in the rearview mirror and asked her, “Don‘t you have anything else to
say?”
Stella hesitated a little before muttering softly, “I said I wouldn‘t contact him again.” Weston snickered.
“What if I settle a score with him? Would you still be as calm as you are now?” Stella clenched the hem
of her dress immediately and bit her lower lip. She looked at the divider in front of her and muttered, “I
thought we agreed. If I stay by your side, you won‘t make things difficult for Roger...” Weston‘s face
changed suddenly. He pulled her into his lap and questioned, “Stella. Do you think you‘re worth a lot of
money?”
He squeezed her chin harder and asked, “You were acting. You deceived and lied to me. You even ran
away from the marriage. You‘re back, but do you think I‘ll pretend that nothing has happened after all
that?”
Stella struggled a little, but she was weak.
Soon, a red mark appeared on her chin. She flushed a little and said, “I told you. You can make me do
whatever you want...”
“Whatever I want?”
Weston‘s tone was sarcastic. His gaze wandered around her face as he said, “I have to coax you and
cuddle you to sleep. Is that what you mean by letting me do whatever I want?”
Stella‘s eyes flickered. She dropped her head and seemed lost in deep thought. While Weston watched
on, she suddenly sat up on her knees and parted her legs slightly. She knelt between his legs,
straightened her back, and reached for his tie.
Weston rolled his throat up and down and looked at her calmly. “What are you trying to do?”
Stella did not answer. Her hand went down further and reached for his button.
Weston then grabbed her hand and slowly pulled it away. “You can‘t even do it in bed, and you want to
do it in the car?”
He was laughing at her. She could not even walk, but she wanted to sprint.
Stella remained silent. She took a moment to build her courage. “Sorry. Give me some time...”
Making him comfortable seemed to be the only meaning behind her life. From the moment he caught
her again,
she realized something. She could never escape from Weston‘s grasp. If Weston did not let her go, she
would be stuck with him for the rest of her life. She had to constantly please him, obey him, and stop
him from making things hard for Roger. He kept using the same trick, but it was the ace up his sleeve
and always worked.
As long as Weston had her under control, she could never find another way to escape. Weston held
her waist and tucked her hair behind her ear. “Are you going to run away again?” Stella shook her
head. “No.”
Weston lowered his head and kissed her forehead. “Good girl.”
Emotions seemed to be surging in his deep eyes. He fixed his gaze on her and said, “Let‘s get out of
the car first. We‘ll take care of this problem of yours. We‘ll have a long time ahead, hm?” Stella pursed
her lips.
“Okay.”
