Chapter 206
Her heart tensed the moment she heard him say it, fearful that he would be unhappy.
But looking at the smile on his face, she knew that he was teasing her.
Despite the fact that he could tell she was putting up an act, he was willing to accept this version of her.
Stella’s expression gradually darkened.
It was ironic to see him putting so much effort to make her return to her old self when once, she had loved him with her all but he paid no attention to it.
She knew his intentions, but she didn’t show that she did.
After finishing the meal, he helped her clean up. She was about to clean it up but seeing that he had stood up and done it, she left the task to him.
When they were still together before this, she would never let him do any of the chores. All he had to do was sit there while she took care of everything for him, as a nanny would. But the tables had turned now. She sat on the sofa and took out her phone. Roger had sent her multiple messages.
In an instant, the tough exterior she had put up was gone. She lied to him. She lied that she had a very important task and needed to be on a business trip. But she was only a teacher… where could she go? To make sure the lie didn’t get exposed, Yvonne even called him to explain, and he had apparently bought it.
It had been a few days since she went home, and this had never happened before.
Roger would call her every night to hear her voice and Weston would go away when they spoke. A faint smile appeared on her face as she read his messages of the interesting stuff happening at school.
