Stella’s words rendered Weston speechless.
She was right. He had been the one to agree to let Stella date other people, so he must seem like a fool
saying all those things to her.
He withdrew his hands and forced himself to calm down a little.
“I have no intention to stand in your way,” he told Stella. “I was only worried about Elias and Emma.
Since they’re also here, I think you need to take their feelings into consideration.”
The children could sense the strained atmosphere between the adults, so they just waited patiently on
the couch with Roger, occasionally poking their heads out to look at their parents.
Seeing his kids like that, Weston slowly added, “I’m only here to see the kids, so both of you can go
ahead with your date.”
Stella said nothing and just took Hayden’s hand and left.
When they got downstairs, Hayden glanced at her and asked, “Are you sure you want to just leave him
like that?”
“I don’t know,” Stella massaged the point between her brows. “I’m not sure what I want to do anymore.”
She got angry when she heard Weston say all those things just now, but then again, she had no intention
of just leaving the issues between them as it was, much less completely kicking Weston out of her life.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Weston watched as Stella and Hayden disappeared into the distance. He finally
looked away, and there were no discernible signs of agitation in his expressions at all. Still, Roger could
tell at a glance that he was only concealing it.He jeered, “It’s unbearable, isn’t it? Doesn’t it hurt so much that you think you’re gonna die? And yet you
can’t say a single word about it.”
That was exactly what Roger went through in the past.
Navig@te back to th€ roots of thïš substance at n0v^lebookWeston said nothing. He just sat down in front of Elias and Emma and stroked their heads, telling them,
“Daddy will take you out today, okay?”
These days, although he avoided appearing in front of Stella, he had started to spend much more time
with Elias and Emma.
It was as if he wanted to make up for all his past mistakes with his children. He
would take them out to small and large parties, trying his best to let the whole of Ahn City know that
these children were his while providing them with everything they wanted or needed, all on a silver
platter.
Naturally, Stella realized this too, but she said nothing against it because, as the children’s father, it was
within his rights and his freedom to do all that. Besides, this could only benefit Elias and Emma. Like all
parents, she wished for nothing more than to give her children access to better resources and
opportunities. Hence, she ultimately never stopped Weston from doing everything for them.
Apart from that, her relationship with Dr. Hayden Quirk had also been steadily developing as well.
As a psychiatrist, Hayden had always been an emotionally stable man. He was also considerate and
attentive. Having been through a few relationships, he had always treated women with respect and
warmth. All this made Stella feel comfortable and at ease whenever she was with him.
On the other hand, when she was with Weston, her mood would always fluctuate, from sometimes being
furious to incessant impatience and annoyance, unlike the peaceful and calm feeling she experienced
with Hayden.Perhaps this was why she found it hard to give Hayden a clear answer when he asked if she wanted to
try taking their relationship to the next level, even though she did intend to agree with him.
She stared at the face in front of her and discovered that she found it hard to imagine what her life would
look like if she really was in a relationship with Dr. Hayden Quirk.
Seeing that Stella had been hesitating for a few seconds, he smiled empathetically and said, “Perhaps
I’ve been a little too hasty. This is an important decision for you. I should’ve given you some time to think
about it.”
He was giving her a graceful exit, yet this only made it harder for her to find the right words to say.
He was simply too nice, too much of a gentleman, and too kind and gentle to her that she had no idea
what to do now.
Hayden stroked her head and said, “There’s going to be a private concert held by the club soon, and
there will be many music lovers there. I can help you get some tickets if you’re interested, and we can go
together.”
Stella was surprised by his thoughtfulness. She did not expect him to understand her
so well.
“Okay,” she nodded and agreed after thinking about it for a moment.
Since she had decided to get out there and date other men, she should act like it and be more open to
new experiences.
During this period, Weston began to come over to her place and see her more often now. Although he
had been deliberately ignoring the relationship between Stella and Hayden, he still could not avoid
seeing Hayden driving her home regularly.He had been forcing himself to focus solely on his children, but he still could not stop himself from talking
to Stella when he saw her getting all dolled up in a fancy dress in the middle of the night, preparing to go
out with Hayden.
“Will you be coming home tonight?” he asked.
Stella glanced at him and replied, “If it ends too late, then I’ll probably be staying elsewhere. You can go
home once Elias and Emma are asleep, by the way.”
