Chapter 388 Weston knew that without a little temptation, she would never take the bait. “After I finished work, I spent some time looking into vacancies for foreign students. Are you sure you don‘t want to hear more about what I found out?”
Stella leaned in immediately. “I do.”
Weston felt a tinge of jealousy at the sight of her being so excited. “Aren‘t you being a tad too good to Roger?” “We are family. It‘s only natural that we treat each other well,” Stella said. Weston paused for a moment without responding to her immediately. It‘s only natural to treat family members well. He chewed on Stella‘s words and couldn‘t help but feel a sense of irony in it. “Not necessarily. Many family members end up stabbing each other in the back for self interest.”
Stella furrowed her brows. “That shouldn‘t be so. Most families I know live peacefully and harmoniously with each other.”
Although such family dramas were commonplace on television, she still held onto the belief that most ordinary families were just like what her family was before her parents passed on.
Weston caressed her head. “Don‘t be too idealistic.”
“Humans are good by nature,“Stella corrected him. “Some are just forced to a corner and end up doing bad things when they face insurmountable challenges.”
She seemed to be alluding to something.
Weston‘s hand paused for a moment before he resumed toying with a lock of her hair between his fingers. “Just be direct and say you‘re talking about me. There‘s no need to beat around the bush.”
Weston suddenly chinned Stella‘s chin and kissed her hard. “When did you have such a smart mouth?”
