The wind by the river blew a cool breeze.
Stella‘s mind became clearer, but she still couldn‘t react. The person she had been looking for for so long
was suddenly in front of her.
She froze for a long time, then rushed forward and hugged Roger. “I‘m glad you‘re fine….”
Roger‘s eyes were red, and he was panting heavily.
Without saying anything, he just stared at Weston with disgust and hatred in his eyes.
The man stood silently by the side, looking coldly at the picture of the siblings embracing each other,
feeling dazzled.
Stella took a deep breath and finally recovered.
She pushed Roger away and looked at him from top to bottom.” You‘re not injured, right? Where have
you been during this time? Do you know that everyone is looking for you!”
The more she spoke, the angrier she became.
The shock and surprise at the beginning gradually subsided, replaced by the fear she had felt these past
few days, and it flustered her a little.
“Where the hell have you been? Don‘t you know how to call me? At least tell Riley you‘re safe!”
“How old are you that you don‘t know to inform before leaving?!“.
“I‘ve asked for a leave...” Roger muttered.
“Who did you ask for leave? Did you tell me where you were going? There‘s been no news about you for
the past few days. Everyone is looking for you like crazy, do you know?”
Roger‘s face dropped, and he didn‘t dare to speak.
After a while, he pulled Stella aside. “I‘ll explain to you later...”
As he spoke, his eyes were full of vigilance as he stared at Weston. “I‘ll take you abroad now. Let‘s go to
Compassvale. The marriage contract between you and him is canceled!”
Stella paused and slowly pushed his hand away.“...you already know?”
“I know everything, and I also watched the engagement banquet.
He suddenly gritted his teeth. “How could you lie to me like this? You both have already gotten together!”
Before he could finish, a big hand with well–defined joints suddenly stretched out beside him, directly
pulling Stella over.
“Watch it.”
The man stood beside her, blocked Stella behind him, and glanced coldly at Roger. “Who are you to take
her away?” “I am her family, her only relative!”
Roger also stepped forward, trying to pull her over. “Why can‘t ! take her away?”
Despite his best efforts, it was impossible to steal someone away in front of Weston.
“Let her go! Why are you forcing her?”
Roger became anxious. “Have you forgotten what you did to her before?”
“I remember.”
“That’s why I want to make up for the loss.”
“We don‘t want you to make up for it! Just get out of the way, and don‘t disturb our lives again!” Roger
almost roared, and his eyes reddened. “Give her to me!”
Stella took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and whispered to her brother, “Let’s go back and talk
about this, okay?”
“No! Come with me now. I don‘t want you in Nordwen City for a second longer. This city will only hurt
you!”
Stella shook her head and looked at him with some sadness.” I‘m sorry...”
His face froze, and he looked at her in disbelief. “Are you going to stay here and marry him?”
Roger frowned again and took a step forward. “Did he force you? Did he threaten you? You clearly said
that...”
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Stella.
“It‘s my decision, and I won‘t return with you!”
Roger was an emotional wreck, and Stella could only interrupt
him, worried that he would say something that would make Weston suspicious.
Only the last step remained.
She couldn‘t let all her previous patience and hard work go to waste.
