Chapter 652
Roger was still unaware of things between Stella and Weston. As such, his first response upon seeing Weston and Guinevere was to avoid having Stella see them, lest the sight of them would ruin her day. However, since Stella had spotted the two, he saw no need to continue the charade. He looked at his sister with concern. “Stella, it’s fine. It’s just an unabashed couple. You’ll easily find a better man in the future.”
Stella’s face remained expressionless as she retracted her gaze. She shook her head and said, “This isn’t something you should be bothered by.”
Roger remained silent as he surveyed Stella nervously. Stella looked up and smiled at him. “Are you worried about me because you think that I still have feelings for Weston?”
“I didn’t mean that,” Roger immediately denied her claim. He furrowed his brows and went on, “How could a man like him be worthy of my sister?”
“Therefore, just avoid them the next time you see them.”
What Roger really wanted to do was to give Weston a good beating, but he knew that it would only serve to create trouble for Stella. Thus, he chose to remain silent instead.
At the reception counter.
Guinevere hooked her arm around Weston’s. “I thought you’d be very busy during this period. To think that you actually have the time to treat me to a meal…”
When she received Ben’s call, she became exceedingly flattered and overwhelmed.
After all, ever since that incident with Stella, she had been the one taking the initiative rather than Weston.
This was, in fact, the first time he invited her out.
Was it because she took the initiative to seek reconciliation at his office the last time?
Her parents were right-all men were the same. They might fancy novelty, but they would be even more appreciative of a generous woman.
If she were to micro-manage, it would only serve to annoy him further. But if she were to give him the freedom he wanted, it would make him like her even more.
