Before Stella could respond, the man had already found the text message and called the number
directly.
When she heard a beep on the other end, it was too late for her to stop it even if she wanted to.
She subconsciously reached out to grab it, but the man pressed her forehead and pushed her away
gently. He placed his index finger to his mouth and made a ‘shush’ gesture, winking at her.
Stella’s face sank as she heard him saying, “Who are you? Why are you texting Stella in the middle of
the night?” He sounded very provocative Stella raised her eyebrows immediately and opened her
mouth. It was not that she was worried that Weston might misunderstand something, but that this
person might anger him The reason that she started blind dating was to make him give up as he would
encounter this scene sooner or later. She did not expect that this man was so straightforward, so she
was worried that he might enrage Weston. After all, Weston was crazy and would do anything. When
she was holding her breath and waiting for a reply, she heard a long beeping sound. The call was cut
off. Upon that, the man handed the phone back to her and shrugged helplessly. “Your ex doesn’t sound
like he has much patience.” Stella’s eyes darkened. Looking at the screen of her phone, she fell into
deep thought. The man reached out and waved in front of her. “Why do you look so defeated? You
aren’t still in love with him, are you?”
He chuckled playfully, but Stella did not take it to heart. Instead, she looked at him very seriously. “He is
a bit of an unscrupulous person who does not have much morality. I think… it is best that we end it right
here.”
This man was a bit impulsive. He was not the best option for her.
She was being too impulsive as well. She was too eager to get rid of Weston. The moment she said
that, the man looked at her with interest. “Do you think that I can’t beat your ex?”
“I didn’t mean that…” Stella paused and sighed. “I am being too impulsive. I am sorry to have gotten
you involved in this.”. Then, she nodded and unbuckled the seatbelt. When she was about to get out of
the car, the man grabbed her wrist, signalling for her to
remain seated. “That’s too sudden. Your reason for ending this is a bit hurtful.” Stella asked somewhat
helplessly, “Didn’t you say that we could end this anytime?” She actually used his words to refute him.
“Okay.” The man let go of her and laughly ruefully. “I was only getting a little interested in you just now,
but you are such a spoilsport. It’s no fun.”
Stella rubbed her nose in embarrassment. “Then I shall get going now. Sorry for taking your time.”
“Wait, I will send you home.” The man pointed at the steering wheel. “After all, it’s my childhood friend
who introduced you to me. Although we couldn’t be a couple, I should still be a gentleman.”
Stella looked out the window. It was indeed very late, and it was not safe for her to go back alone.
So, she sat back down. “Thank you, then.”
“You are welcome.” The man purposely raised his tone. He looked at Stella in the rearview mirror and
smiled before he shook his head and looked away.
The car left the drive-in cinema.
Then, the man said, “Honestly speaking, it is the first time I’ve been rejected by someone with such a
reason.”
They had already decided that it was temporary. Although he did not mind it, he still could not help but
feel a little aggrieved. “What kind of a person is your ex, seeing as he can make you so anxious?”
As Stella thought of Weston, her face turned cold. “He is a nobody. Just scum.”
Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, the man stopped asking. After sending her to the lobby of
her apartment and seeing her e
