Weston’s face went cold. Then, he slowed his pace.
Stella noticed Weston’s strange reaction. When she looked up, she realized that
Roger was standing nearby. The unmistakable coldness on Roger’s face caused her to freeze for a while.
Stella tapped Weston on the shoulder and got down. As soon as she stood on her feet, Weston wrapped his arms around her waist and took a few dissatisfied steps forward.
Stella glared at him and pulled his hand away.
When Weston tried to hug her again, her repulsive eyes met him and he could only give up. Then, he followed her to Roger.
“You’re back?” Roger had a strong sense of hostility while he observed the unusual atmosphere between the two of them.
Stella nodded and asked him, “When did you come?”
“I’ve been here a while. I thought you were working late, so I waited for you,” Roger explained. He threw the cigarette in his hand in the trash and added, “Emma and Elias are already asleep.”
Stella had some joy in her eyes. “Didn’t they go to boarding school? They’re back early today?”
“Yes. I wanted to surprise you,” Roger said but did not finish the rest of his sentence and simply looked at Weston briefly with indifference.
Weston ignored Roger’s rejection and said to Stella, “I’ll go up and see them.”
Stella rejected him. “They’re already asleep. Wait till the next time.”
Roger also said, “Indeed. It was hard to put them both to sleep. Mr. Ford, please don’t disturb them.”
Weston did not say anything. Instead, he kissed Stella on the cheek and helped fix her collar. “It’s okay. I can stay for a while.”
Roger instantly frowned. “Mr. Ford, who are you to stay in our house?” he said, while stressing the word “our.”
Sensing the tense atmosphere between the two men, Stella sighed. “Enough. Stop being childish.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She turned to Roger. “Let’s go home first.”
Stella soon arrived home, but when she opened the door and wanted to go in, Weston held the door open and refused to leave. “I just want to have a look.”
Roger had changed his shoes and was standing in front of Weston. He looked at him in discontent, “Is it really necessary?”
“Yes.” Weston gave him a faint look and said, “After all, Stella is still wearing my clothes. I have to get my coat back.”
Roger’s face sank at Weston’s reply. He clenched his fist as if wanting to swing it at him.
Roger had seen Stella getting out of the car in Weston’s coat earlier, and although she was tightly wrapped, he still saw some hickeys on her skin.
Without even needing to think, Roger knew what the two did before coming. He gritted his teeth. “Stay away from her!”
“You have no right to say that to me.” Weston looked at him indifferently and did not take his warning seriously.
Stella went in and poured a glass of water for herself. When she came out, she saw the two men standing in the doorway in such a tense atmosphere and frowned in irritation. “It’s already late at night. Can you guys hurry up and go to bed?”
She came over, put the glass of water on the cabinet in the entryway, and gave Weston a look. “You can come back tomorrow.”
Weston paused for a moment and looked at her soberly. “Are you kicking me out?”
Stella rubbed her nose. “It’s not that. Besides, we aren’t in a relationship. There’s no reason for you to stay… I’ve agreed to let you see the kids tomorrow, haven’t I?”
Weston was rendered speechless and suddenly let out a laugh in annoyance. He pulled his tie and looked at Stella with his coat on. At last, he nodded. “Fine. Then, he turned around and left.
