Chapter 45 She paused for a moment and smiled as if a thought flashed past her mind. “A child.” She looked straight into Weston’s eyes and said the two words emphatically.
Instinctively, Weston released her hand as those two words left her mouth.
Stella wanted to see something from his gaze, but it was a pity that she couldn’t see anything.
At that moment, she couldn’t help but laugh at herself. Was she expecting a man like him to feel sorrow and guilt over that child?
He wouldn’t. He only cared for the child he had with Guinevere, whereas she and her child were but just lowly ants in his eyes, deserving only to be stepped on by him and thrown aside like a rag doll. “Mr. Ford, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be off.” Stella pushed him aside, but at the next second, he grabbed her wrist again. It was then that she lost all patience with him. “What exactly do you want?” She turned her face around and looked at him with frustration,” Don’t tell me you just want to catch up and reminisce about the past?”
Weston had never seen such cold frustration in her eyes and felt an inexplicable lump in his chest.
He swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and instead said, “Remember your identity now. Don’t you dare create any unnecessary trouble for me?” Stella’s eyes turned even colder. “Of course, I don’t need Mr. Ford to remind me of something like that. I just hope that you can control your wife and stop her from getting in my way from the washroom and asking me if I’m Stella Sealey!” With her back against the light, she could see Weston’s face darkening upon her words.
She did not know if it was because of her provocative tone or something else entirely. Stella lowered her gaze onto his hand that gripped her wrist tightly, before looking back into his eyes. Lifting her hand nonchalantly, she said, “Do you still insist on grabbing my hand and refusing to let go?”
