Chapter 264

Stella knew he was showering.

Not long later, the noise in the bathroom stopped.

Before the blanket was pulled and the bed sunk, she could hear heavy footsteps plodding toward her.

A wet body hugged her from behind.

LLL

Instantly, she stiffened and didn’t dare to breathe.

Weston noticed her repulse, gently rubbed her hair and kissed her head. “Go to sleep. I won’t do
anything to you.”

The scene earlier was still stuck in his head.

The horrifying image of her lying in the tub, unconscious.

At that moment, he really thought she had committed suicide. If that had happened, he would never be
able to accept it. But thankfully, it was only an accident. Weston didn’t show many emotions. Only when
he hugged Stella would his raging heartbeat slow to a calm.

He hugged her tightly with considerable force, a force that was suffocating

It wasn’t until she was breathing heavily that he let her go slightly. He helped tidy her hair. “I know what
you’re thinking.” In a hoarse voice, he croaked, “I can forgive your little tricks as long as you stay with
me.” Suddenly, nervousness swept over Stella. She didn’t know what he meant by tricks.



She grabbed onto his bathrobe, and her hand tightened.

She wanted to say something, but he didn’t seem to need her answers. After finishing his words, he
patted her back like she was a child and whispered, “Go to sleep.”

It was then that she did she close her eyes and gradually fell asleep.



The next day.

She woke up later than him.

Weston was a very disciplined man and had extremely strict time management to ensure his plans
would never get disrupted.

He was like some high-efficiency robot that didn’t make mistakes.

By the time Stella woke up, Weston was getting ready to leave for work.

She stood on the balcony of the second floor and looked down as his black car slowly pulled out of the
garage.

It wasn’t until she lost sight of the car that she shifted her gaze away. She had told Roger that she was
on a business trip for a couple of days but, at the same time, told Weston that she would be staying
with Roger. She took out the name card, gave it some thought, and gave Bradley a call. After ringing
for a long time, Bradley finally picked it up, sounding a little annoyed. “Who is this?” “Hi, I’m Ella. Do
you remember me? I came with Ruby to audition last time. I auditioned for the junior sister role.” There
was a long pause from the other end. It was so long that she thought Bradley didn’t remember her…



until he spoke again. “I remember. Why?” “Have you found an actress for the role? I am interested. Can
I give it a try again?”

Bradley was at the shooting location, and hearing her words, he was silent for a while before saying,
“Sure. Do you have time now?” “I do.”

“There’s one scene that you can try.” After getting the address, she immediately headed out after
informing Joan. She couldn’t waste whatever little time she got.
