Chapter 1371
Weston wrapped his arms around Stella from behind and nuzzled against the nape of her neck, his gestures full of
longing.
“Let me hug you just a little longer, okay? I promise I won’t ever bother you again. after this.”
Stella, unsurprisingly, did not take him at his word. He had promised her the exact same thing so many times
before, yet none of it came to pass. He always ended up pestering her again within days of saying that.
Still hungover from all that drinking last night, which made her feel horrible, she quickly went back to sleep. When
she woke up again, she found that Weston was no longer to be seen.
Stella did not exactly mind his absence, but she still could not help but be irritated. Why did he not say goodbye or
even tell her that he was about to leave? How could he just disappear like that? What an annoying man!
She then went downstairs back to her own place, and just as she arrived, she heard Roger’s voice.
He quickly rose to his feet when he saw Stella and agitatedly walked up to her, asking, “I heard Weston Ford was

“Of course I’m okay,” she replied, confused by his question. “Why wouldn’t I?”
“He didn’t hurt you, did he?”
“No,” she shook her head. “Don’t be so worried.”
“How could I not?” argued Roger, who thought that Stella was clearly teasing him.” Everyone knows what kind of
man he is. If he decided to do anything to you…”
“Don’t worry,” Stella coughed lightly, interrupting him. “He didn’t do anything to me last night.”
“How is that even possible?”
Weston’s reputation by that point was just so poor that no one would believe that he did nothing at all to Stella after
spending the entire night with her.
In fact, even Stella could hardly believe it. She never thought of him as a particularly noble or virtuous gentleman,
but the truth still remained that he did nothing to her at all last night, so she had no reason to find any fault with
him.
Roger scrutinized Stella with his eagle eyes as if trying to draw out some clues from her face.
“What are you doing?” asked Stella after Roger had been staring at her face for a while. “Why are you looking at
me like that?”
“Your attitudes towards him have changed, Sis.”
“What do you mean?” Stella asked, stunned for a while.
“I meant to say that it looks like you’re going to get back together with him.”
“Nonsense!” Stella cried, her face turning stony and cold.
Whenever Roger thought of the possibility that Stella and Weston might be together again, he would get so anxious
that he found it hard to breathe.
“Did you notice that your heart is gradually softening towards him now?”
Stella shook her head.
“I’m not in the mood to talk about this with you…”
“Are you not in the mood, or are you just too afraid to talk about it?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRoger ignored the fact that Elias and Emma were both there with them and suddenly grabbed Stella’s wrist, forcing
her to look straight into his eyes.
“Tell me the truth!” he demanded. “Are you going to make up with him?”
“What I’m going to do…” Stella shoved his hand away. “Is none of your business. I’m not obliged to tell you
anything.”
Roger’s mouth hung agape in disbelief that Stella would say that to him. He just stood there stunned and speechless
for a while.
Stella did not want to argue with him about this in front of Elias and Emma, so she just told him, “Calm down,
Roger.”
Then she walked up to her children and asked them, “Have you guys finished your food?”
“Yes, Mommy!”
“In that case, Mommy will take you out to play, okay?”
“Yay!”
Roger watched silently with a raw sting in his heart as Stella walked away.
She was right, he thought. He was nothing more than her brother now, and that was the only way he could stay by
her side–as her family. Even if she really did want to be with Weston again, there was nothing he could do about it.
