Her hands were still cold.
Weston lifted them to his lips and kissed them, but the look in his eyes turned elusive.
Stella had a pair of beautiful hands that were so delicate and fair that her veins were slightly visible.
Her skin tone was starkly different from his.
He held her hands in his as memories of the past flooded into his mind.
They weren’t married for long, but they shared many intimate moments, one of which was certainly
when Stella was on her period.
She would become exceptionally shy whenever that happened. Things weren’t that much better now.
U
Thus, this pair of hands came in handy.
Weston’s swallowed and asked, “Do you find something missing from your hand?” Stella found his
answer ridiculous. “What is missing? Nothing.” “Is that so?” Weston kissed her ring finger. “I think
something’s missing.”
A ring He answered himself in his heart but did not say it out loud to Stella. He merely looked at her as
though trying to pry into her heart. “I’ll bring you somewhere, all right?”
“Pool again?”
“No. You’ll find out when we’re there.” It was a place that would either make her very happy or
uncomfortable.
Stella did not expect Weston to bring her to such a place.
She was slightly taken aback.
Weston noticed her silence and reached out to hold her shoulders. “What, you don’t want to head in?”
Stella snapped back to attention and looked at him in shock, “Did you bring me here… to buy jewelry?”
She actually wanted to ask if he was here to buy her a ring.
But if it wasn’t Weston’s intention, then it would sound like she was overthinking things.
It wasn’t ideal, and their relationship wasn’t one suitable for rings.
Weston could see through her hesitation at once. “I don’t remember us buying rings when we got
married.”
Stella was stunned for a moment as bitterness seeped into her heart.
She didn’t expect him to remember that little fact.
Having gotten married in a rush, they had simply registered their marriage and didn’t even have a pre-
nuptial agreement. It was probably because Weston didn’t find her much of a threat and thought he
could extricate himself cleanly even without a pre-nuptial agreement. Till today, she just couldn’t figure
out what her marriage with Weston stood for. Like many women, she had once looked forward to
marriage and wearing a wedding ring. However, when Weston asked for a divorce because of
Guinevere, Stella found herself no longer caring for these things. She smiled and said, “Since we didn’t
buy rings when we were married, what’s the point of buying thern now?” Weston paused for a moment,
knowing she must’ve recalled all those unhappy memories of the past.
He had no way of erasing or changing the past. The only thing he could do was to make things up to
her as best he could, hoping those terrible memories of the past could be smothered. Aside from that,
he couldn’t think of anything else to help Stella let go of the past. “You’re not single right now. Isn’t it
normal to wear a ring?”
Stella’s gaze wavered, but she smiled a moment later. “It’s true that I’m not single, but I’m not married
either. There’s no need for me to wear a ring, is there?”
“There is,” Weston cut her off and grabbed her hand. “Letting others know you’re not single will save
you from unnecessary trouble…”
