Chapter 468
Weston was so blunt that it rendered Stella speechless for a moment. Then, she burst out laughing
“Are you kidding me?” Stella asked incredulously. “He’s your friend! I’ve nothing to do with him! Am I not even allowed to ask a simple question?”
“It’s best that you’ve nothing to do with him,” Weston held her in his arms and stroked her hair. “I want it to stay that way.” He had no idea why he would be so possessive of her, and he simply couldn’t bear to see her being even mildly interested in other men. “You’re mine, Stella. You’re mine alone.” Stella merely found those words amusing and thought nothing of it. “By the way,” she added casually after a long pause, “I heard you guys talking about a… kidnapper? What was that about?”
The way she put it sounded as if she cared little about it, but Weston could clearly see that she was keenly interested from how her eyes darted in excitement.
He sighed and kissed her forehead.
“Do you still remember that day… when you fell from that building?”
Weston had asked very carefully, aware that the incident was still a raw gash in their relationship and caused them immense pain whenever the issue was touched upon.
“Of course, I still remember,” Stella pursed her lips. “How could I ever forget?” “Well,” Weston’s voice croaked, “Those thugs died, except for one… you probably remember the guy.” Stella did indeed. It was the man who stood behind her, threatening that if she didn’t quietly obey their orders, she would die a slow and agonizing death. He was on of those men who promised her that once Weston abandoned her, they would have their way with her, and once they were bored with her, they’d kill her. They warned her that Guinevere Cohen would never give her an easy death. “So what happened to him?” Stella asked. “Is he still alive?” “He’s been in a coma,” Weston replied. “Just now, his condition suddenly worsened, and he died.”
He then scrutinized Siella’s expressions. He would immediately stop talking about this topic if he even detected a trace of her being upset or unsettled.
