Stella finally understood his question He was referring to wliat happened last night. Guinevere said
something about their parents giving them a room She thought it was funny. “The two of you are
engaged. You two inay not be married now, but just like you said, you’ll tie the knot sooner or later.
There’s nothing wrong with living together.”
After she finished, his hand suddenly grabbed her chin with a strong force. The inan’s mood changed
suddenly as he bit hard on the comer of her mouth. “You’re not saying what you think.” He said, “I don’t
like it when you behave like this.”
His eyes were dark while he looked at Stella steadily.
Stella finally realized what he meant. She took a deep breath and managed a smile. “Sorry… But I
meant what I said just now. Didn’t you like the way I used to be understanding?”
“Were you like this?” Weston cupped her face and made her look into his eyes.
It was as if he wanted to see through all her emotions “lf l had spent a night in the same room with
another woman, would you have been as understanding as you are now? Do you really have no
problem with it?”
Stella was forced to look him straight in the eye she stopped avoiding his eyes and looked at him.
“I know you want me to return to the way I used to be, but I’m a different person now. I used to have the
right to question you, but the one with the right to question you now is Guinevere, not me. Do you
understand?”
“You do have the right,” Weston suddenly interrupted her. He exerted a little more force cupping her
face. He inched closer to her ears and said raspily, “You can question me. 1 allow you the right to do
so.”
Stella was forced to lean against his chest. She was so close that she could feel his heartbeat. She had
to hold back and force herself to accept it Stella agreed to his request. “Okay, I’ll ask next time.”
She was like a robot who would do whatever he said, but never take a step forward. Even so, Weston
was satisfied to have her around.
He placed a kiss on the corner of her mouth. “In this year, you have to get along with me the way you
were before. If not, I might consider extending the time.” “You…” Stella raised her head and looked at
him in disbelief. “You promised! A year is a year!” “Yes, but I also said you have to behave like how you
were when we were married. I only see Ella in you now, not Stella.” “Weston, you can’t be so greedy!”
Stella sneered.
He wanted a brand new Ella, but he demanded her to act like the old Stella around him He was too
demanding “I’m a greedy person” Weston took her by the waist and made her sit on top of him “Let me
hold you a little longer,” he said. As the car drove away, the scenery outside the car window moved
backward. Stella closed her eyes, feeling nothing but coldness in her heart. It was no longer throbbing
warmly.
Back in Ford Mansion.
Guinevere went to Weston’s study after he left. She stared at the empty desk while lost in deep
thoughts.
It was a beautiful day outside. A breeze blew in, making her feel the chill on her face. She closed her
eyes for a long time until the nanny called her from outside. The nanny urged,” Miss, the weather is
nice today, but it’s still a little cold. Don’t stand outside. You’ll catch a cold.”
Guinevere clenched her fists lightly. Until now, they still called her ‘Miss’. Without the marriage
certificate, she would never be Mrs. Ford A menacing look flashed on her face and disappeared in the
next beat Guinevere put on a gentle smile and looked at the nanny. “Alright. Thanks for your concern.
Please bring me a blanket.”
“Yes, Miss.”
