Chapter 412
No matter how Stella tried to pretend, she could not hide the repulsiveness she was feeling.
That was when Weston stopped, and started to offer her reassurance-he had become much more patient than ever before. Whatever he was doing, he would stop once Stella appeared upset, and pat her back reassuringly as if she were a child.
Moreover, he would not continue if she insisted that she was uncomfortable, and it was the same this time. Holding his own forehead against hers and watching her flush and pant from his kisses, Weston asked, “How many times have I told you not to take quiet routes when you’re alone? Did I scare you just now?”, “You did that on purpose?!” It was only then that Stella realized, since what had happened just now was clearly unusual.
After all, Weston lingered inside his car and kept quiet, while his car followed Stella at a neutral pace. Anyone who saw that would be under the impression that he meant harm.
Weston chuckled hoarsely then. “Well, you’re the one who keeps doubting me. I’d rather you get spooked a little than to regret it when some thug comes after you.” Stella sneered ironically. “It’s not as if I don’t have a thug after me already.”
Weston’s gaze darkened when he realized that she was talking about him. He wrapped his hands around her waist then and asked, “Who are you calling a thug?”
“Who do you think?” “How am I a thug?” Weston held her up so that they were sitting face-to-face just then. “Why don’t you tell me?” Stella turned away, not willing to meet his eyes just then. “You knew that I’d get scared, but you did it anyway.”
That was when Weston’s expression suddenly turned solemn, and he lifted her chin so that she looked him in the eyes. “That’s because I know that it would just be a case of false alarm. If you keep going against what I say, however, it would be too late if you really run into a real thug-understood?”
