Chapter 128
Stella didn’t know why he said that. She frowned and said affirmatively, “I never thought of you that way.”
“Then why, even at a time like this, would you rather go on a blind date with a stranger than come to me for help?”
He suddenly lost control of his emotions and spoke. “I have told you many times that I would help you no matter what difficulties you face. Am I so unworthy of your trust that you would rather marry a stranger to prevent Weston from troubling you than come to me for help? At least I know what happened between you. Wouldn’t that be more convenient?”
She took a deep breath. “That’s exactly why I could not go to you. I’m very sorry, Mr. Hall. I know how you feel for me, but if I used this to achieve my goal, it would be unfair to you. This was why I could only look for a stranger. It would just be a business with predetermined
conditions, and nobody would owe anyone anything. But it would be different if the man was you. I don’t want to owe you anything.”
“You don’t want to owe me anything because you have no feelings for me. You didn’t come to me for help so that you can always draw the line between us. Is that so?” He suddenly calmed down and closed his eyes. Then, he pulled up at the roadside. He was currently too emotional to drive.
After a while, she said softly, “I am very sorry, Mr. Hall.”
He had not smoked for a long time. It was a bad habit he took up after he divorced his wife.
