A loud bang interrupted Hayden’s speech.
Even Stella could feel the deafening noise from the call. Weston, however, didn’t say anything.
After a long silence, she finally heard him forcing his word through gritted teeth,” Yes.”
Weston said, “I’d rather see her be happy.”
Stella fell into a long silence.
At last, she hung up the call and closed her eyes without saying anything. She thought, ‘That’s what you say, Weston.‘
Stella did not see Weston again after that day. There was no point in trying to pity him after his statement.
Roger found out about it somehow and talked to Stella. “Did Weston really say that?”
“He didn’t tell me in person, but that’s what he said to Hayden.”
“He’d even let you be with another man.”
Stella nodded. “But I’m not going to be with someone else just because of that. If I’m going to date someone, it’ll be because of love. I’m not going to date someone just to piss someone off.”
Stella’s answer made Roger feel a little weak. It was as if she had read his mind.
He cleared his throat. “Even so, you can get to know more people. You don’t have to date them. Just treat it as socializing and making new friends.”
Roger behaved normally with Stella again. He was obsessed with getting closer to her and stepping over the boundary at one point. However, after going through so much, he seemed to have returned to his old calm self again.
He told Stella, “You’re free lately anyway. Why not go out to meet some handsome men? I’ll introduce them to you.”
Stella looked at him with doubtful eyes. “Are you sure?”
Stella didn’t trust Roger and disagreed with his suggestion.
The next day, Stella got a call from Roger after taking Emma and Elias home. Roger invited her to join him at the restaurant for a meal.
When she brought Emma and Elias over, Roger took the two little ones for a walk and told her to wait for him there.
She was about to make her order when she looked up and found a strange man sitting across the table.
“The seat is taken,” she said with a frown. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“I know. I’m here for you, Miss Cicily,” the man answered with a smile. He was
wearing a white shirt and suited with an elite look. He seemed older than her and quite mature.
The man was not particularly good–looking, but he seemed like a gentleman.
Stella immediately understood and rubbed her brow helplessly. “Did Roger say something to you?”
“Yes, of course. I’ve heard a lot about you.”
He observed her and was very polite to her. “May I have the pleasure of joining you for this meal?” he asked attentively and gazed at Stella affectionately.
