Stella walked aimlessly. Upon hearing the man calling her in his deep voice , she stopped in her tracks
and smiled.
"What is it?” She looked perfectly fine, devoid of the slightest sign of mental deterioration.
Weston walked to her.
His eyes were gloomy.
“...Do you want to go out?" She was taken aback.
“Go out?” She pursed her lips and sized up the man in front of her, then shook her head.
"No."
“Why?" He walked over to her and picked up a strand of hair, wrapping it around his fingertips to play
with it.
“I remember that you wanted to go out to see those friends of yours some time ago.” She shook her
head again.
“That was before.Now, I feel that staying home is just as nice." She did not know if Weston really
wanted to bring her out or was simply testing her.
She was tired of this game of escapism.
He had a million ways to make her uncomfortable as long as things didn’t go his way.
She did not want to fight or run away anymore.She just wanted to live in peace.
The tiredness in her eyes caught his eyes.
His heart ached at that moment.
"Stella, tell me the truth." He picked her up and sat down on a wicker chair with her in his arms.
“You have been very obedient lately.If you want, I can take you out for a walk.” She listened to his
heartbeat silently.
He ruffled her hair, running his fingers through her hair and rubbing it slowly.
After a while, she wrapped her arms around his waist.
“I don't want to go out, but I am okay if you need me to accompany you.” He exerted a little force to
force her head up.
She looked into his eyes with a very obedient look.
“ What’s wrong?” “In what circumstance do you think I’d need your companionship?” he asked.
With a little hesitation, she pursed her lips and lay on his chest.
After a while, she chose to tell the truth and recounted her conversation with Joan that day.
The man listened attentively and didn’t respond.
She hugged his neck.
“I am sorry.I should not have told you this.I thought that you had your own plans, so I never told you…”
She paused for a while and said, “Joan is right.If you need a female companion, maybe I should take
up the responsibility of being Mrs.Ford and be by your side.”
His gaze changed, and he sized her up as if trying to determine the genuineness of her words.He
seemed somewhat pleased.
It could be seen from the corners of his eyes.
"Do you want to take up the responsibility as Mrs.Ford, or are you jealous and don't want to see
another woman be my female companion?”
“Both, I guess…” She laughed and buried her face in his arms to keep him from seeing her expression.
“Do you want another woman to be your female companion?" This was a disguised confession that she
was jealous.
He was really pleased and pulled her up and kissed the corner of her lips.
"With you around, I don't need anyone else." He parted her legs and let her half-kneel around his waist,
his arm passing under her armpit and wrapping it around hep back.
With her entire body held in his arms, he almost encircled the petite woman in her entirety.
Only then did the man let go and tidy her hair.
“ Tomorrow is grandpa’s 80th birthday.Why don't you accompany me to the banquet?” She paused for
a moment and then smiled a little with her eyes.
“Okay.” She pecked him on the cheek.
“I will go wherever you go.” Her words undoubtedly pleased the man in front of her.
He had kept her at home so heartlessly only because of her escape, where he had to keep her
tethered to him.He didn't allow her to contact anyone; he was the only person she could see.
But now, she was telling him that she would go wherever he went. It was like someone flipped a switch,
releasing certain emotions that were impossible to withhold.
He picked her up and headed straight back to the bedroom.
