Chapter 414
Stella said nothing, but simply looked Weston straight in the eye. After a while, she muttered, “You probably know everything already, then…” “You wouldn’t have said a word if I didn’t, would you?” Weston asked. “So what if I told you? Are you going to straighten out Guinevere? She’s your wife and the mother of your child, while I’m just a toy to you—”.
Even before she could finish, however, Weston had seized her by the chin and kissed her.
Before he knew it, he had grown to resent hearing such words from Stella-he refused to hear any words that were demeaning to her, be it from herself or anyone else.
And yet, he would never change Stella’s mindset even if he could stop everyone else from talking. To her, the world was black and white, and if she could not clear the obstacles in her own head, she would simply loiter on the other end. It was also why as long as she had no legitimate reason to be at his side, she would never be happy, and would always belittle herself. Knowing that, Weston hugged Stella so fiercely he was almost crushing her in his arms. At the same time, he kissed her lips repeatedly, even as her bones started to ache from his embrace.
“Don’t…” Stella mumbled, unable to stop herself from trying to push him away, only for Weston to tighten his arms around her.
His kisses seemed to convey all his tenderness and fury, even as he savored her flavor-taking it all in, be it her sweetness or bitterness.
There was no telling how long had passed as everything outside the window seemed to run past them. Though the trees were caked with thin layers of snowflakes after winter arrived, the interior of the car was just heating up.
Soon, Stella was left gasping for air, trying to catch her breath even as she leaned on him.
Weston’s breathing was ragged as well, and he rested his forehead against hers even as he held her back, while talking tiny pecks on the tip of her nose and her cheeks.
