Chapter 112 It was not Stella’s first time saying something like that to him. She kept begging him to let her go.
Weston was not totally unaffected, but he chose to ignore those strange emotions bottled up in him. Never had he experienced such an uncontrollable urge.
The car stopped beside a quiet road. Weston rolled down the window and rested his arm on the window. He lit a cigarette and held
it between his fingers, but he did not smoke it. He just left it like that. When the lit cigarette butt reached his fingertips, a subtle pain pinched his skin. He dusted off the ashes and looked at Stella. “I’ve told you. Your only option is to follow me. You can name any price you want.” “Why? You already have Guinevere. Why can’t you let me go?”
When she asked him this, the man’s eyes flickered slightly before he fell silent again. It was unclear whether he was asking himself a question, or asking her.
“What do you think?”
He did not know either. He could not understand his desire for her. Why? What was it for?
Did he only want her because he did not have enough of her during the marriage? Did he want more of her body? If he did, he would have slept with her last night. However, he did not. He just held her in his arms and slept all night. Even Weston was confused. He could not figure out what he was thinking. He would like to ask Stella what she did to make him less and less like himself.
“It’s impossible between us. You should give up.” Stella took a deep breath. “I can’t become your secret lover just for some money…” “You’re working so hard that you’re willing to work at that kind of place. I thought you wouldn’t mind having more money.” “It’s not the same!” Stella replied. “That’s my job. I’m earning money legally. I don’t have to mind others’ opinions of me. But what about you? You’re forcing me to be your secret lover. What will others think of me?”
