Chapter 203
“A year,” he said after a little pause. “All I need is a year with you, with the exception of being by my side. That cannot be changed. For the rest, I will suit your needs.” Stella’s gaze shifted.
She knew all too well that his words weren’t sacrosanct, but there was nothing she could do even if she didn’t trust him one bit. “You will suit me for the rest?” she asked with some hesitation. He combed her hair and said, “If I can, I will.” Stella sucked in a deep breath and asked tentatively, “Would you agree if I said I want to become an actress?” Just like her prediction, she felt him stiffen for a moment. She closed her eyes and laid down, mocking, “Don’t make promises you can’t fulfill. I will…” “Sure.”
Before she could finish, he interrupted her.
He turned to her and dropped a gentle kiss on her hair and the scruff of her neck “Sure. If you want, I’ll find you the best production team.” She didn’t think that he would agree so quickly. There was a moment there when she actually doubted what she heard. He turned her around, where their gazes met. “Any other requests?” Knowing that she needed to grab this opportunity, she pursed her lips. “In this one year, you can’t force me…”
Weston suddenly burst out laughing. It was a deep and genuine laugh. “Which part do you mean?” Undoubtedly, he knew what she meant and deliberately wanted to tease her. “You can’t force me to have sex with you,” she stated bluntly without thinking. “What if you beg me?”
“I won’t.”
“It’s too soon to judge.” He suddenly reached his hands out to touch her. But she grabbed his wrist and held him in place before he could reach her. “You haven’t promised me anything yet.” “I can only promise you that if you don’t like it, I won’t force myself on you.” He let go of her. His long fingers traveled on her face before he tapped on the corner of her lips. “The words you say aren’t what your heart truly wants.”
