Chapter 664
Stella was immersed in her memories when the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
She immediately lifted her head and asked, “Who’s there?”
Stella furrowed her brows and walked over cautiously. “Is it Roger? Did you forget something?”
She glanced at the clock and noted that it was past the boarding time of their flight. It couldn’t possibly be Roger and Riley.
Who could it be, then?
They weren’t familiar with the neighbors, and Roger didn’t tell her of any expected deliveries.
She held her breath and wondered if it could be Michael outside the door, someone she had been worried about and thinking of over the past few days.
During this period before Roger went overseas, she had been on tenterhooks, worried that Michael would find her out and expose her true identity.
There was suddenly no more movement outside. Stella didn’t say anything further and simply stood there.
A moment later, she heard a familiar low voice of a man.” It’s me.”
Stella heaved a sigh of relief and opened the door.” Weston?”
Wearing a black coat and standing in the corridor, his towering figure made the passage seem narrow and short, and his imposing aura of grandeur stood in stark contrast with his surroundings. Stella turned sideways and invited him in. “Come on in.”
Weston walked past her right into the apartment. Ever since the last time they parted ways acrimoniously, Weston had been staying in his office and never returned to Stardust Mansion.
Stella adhered to their agreement and went back every day on time, except today. She decided to stay the night here because of Roger but didn’t expect to see Weston.
