Chapter 163
Stella was startled at first, but she quickly regained her composure. “Are we starting now?” she asked. Stella’s words might sound vague, but Weston knew exactly what she meant. The desire that had cropped up in him just now completely dissipated in a moment. “I don’t have the mood now even if you begged for it!” he snapped, shoving Stella away.
Weston then dashed back into the bedroom and slammed the door shut.
Stella stared at the closed door silently with disbelief. The night was still young. The television in the living room was still on. Stella walked towards the sofa and was about to sit down when a commercial starring Guinevere Cohen came up. The sight incited a complicated mix of feelings in Stella’s heart. Her eyes were glued on the woman on the screen. Scenes from the past flashed across her eyes.
Stella leaned against the backrest, grabbed a pillow, and curled up on the sofa. She was wearing a long white cotton dress. Her long hair fell softly on her shoulders. The moonlight that shone on her dainty face made her skin look translucent. She was utterly perplexed. Weston had treated her so cruelly because of Guinevere in the past, so why would he lock Stella up in their former home and not allow her to leave now?
Could it be that he really missed those days when they were married?
Stella snorted at the thought. She picked up the remote and turned off the television then lay down on the sofa and closed her eyes.
It was now past midnight.
Weston stared at his bedroom door that was closed shut. There had been no movements there at all the whole night. He did not lock the door, but Stella didn’t even try to come in.
