Chapter 627
He knew that she wouldn’t give him the answer he wanted.
Almost instantly , Stella got tired of playing her “deep – affection ” trick on him and asked directly, “So what are you going to do about it? I will cooperate.”
Indeed, she had deliberately provoked Guinevere since getting her enraged would increase the chances of ending the one-year contract earlier.
Looking rather distraught, Weston remained silent. “You were too bold. Do you think you’ll be able to escape from me once she finds out about this?”
He had hit the nail on the head. Stella couldn’t admit or refute him.
Weston suddenly stretched out his hands and cupped her face, forcing her to look into his eyes. “I know what’s on your mind, Stella. A year is a year, and I will absolutely keep my word. But if you have something else in your mind, I can always extend that year…”
“You—”Stella’s eyes widened in shock.
“Are you saying that I am mean by forcing you?” He parched his lips a bit, but his face remained stiff.
“You just don’t get it, do you? I want you, so I’ll keep you
by my side no matter what it takes.”
It was one of those rare days where the cast was given a day off. Weston’s company, however, wasn’t always so free.
Stella heard that the project in the western suburbs was nearing completion. Often hearing him asking about its progress on the phone, she reckoned it a huge project so huge that even the Cohens were involved.
Nonetheless, she wasn’t interested in those things. She simply focused on reading her script.
Weston came out from the study and found her sitting on the sofa. “I am going to the office for a while. Stay at home and behave yourself.” She nodded. “Take care.”
He did not reply.
