Chapter 589

Stella spoke mildly as if she had
completely forgotten the conflict from last night. It seemed she just wanted to turn the page and never
mention it again.

Things had always been like that between them, sweeping things under the rug and pretending those is
sues never existed.

After they were reunited, Weston had wanted to return to the way they used to interact, but he
always felt a barrier with Stella.

She
appeared to excel in acting, but there were times that he could sense that they were simply fooling the
mselves.

Today was a rare break for them, in which they weren‘t busy with anything after breakfast. So, they
decided to laze in the hall and watch television.

Weston sat on the couch and folded her in his arms.

Stella leaned against his chest and switched channels aimlessly, bored out of her mind.

She had no idea what Weston liked and assumed he must enjoy watching financial news that she was
completely

uninterested in. When she flipped to a financial news channel, however, she heard Weston
say, “Watch something you like.”

Stella began switching channels again.



Serial dramas weren‘t something she fancied, either. She did catch some romantic
dramas in her youth, just like what many young girls did during her time. After her parents passed
away, she hardly found herself in the mood to watch such flicks that felt so disconnected from reality.

Now that she had joined the crew, there was an impetus for her to watch more dramas and movies to
better improve her skills.

Various different programs began playing on the screen.

Advertisements, variety shows, period dramas...

Stella‘s eyes glazed over all the programs , but nothing truly caught her attention.

Suddenly, she paused as a glint flashed past her eyes.

She saw an adorable little girl on the screen and simply stared at her.

It was a beautiful, adorable female toddler dressed in

overalls and a hat with wings on top. Her mother was standing next to her as they played together.

The little girl listened obediently to her mother‘s instructions, and she lifted her
chubby hands as she asked innocently, “Did I do well?”

“It looked fabulous. I love everything you do!”

The mother lowered her head and kissed her cheeks.

The little girl smiled brightly, flashing her dimple.

Stella‘s grip over the remote control tightened as an inexplicable feeling washed over her.



She didn‘t even know whether the only child she had and lost was a girl or boy.

If it were a little girl, she might have been as intelligent and adorable as the girl on the screen.

It was a simple advertisement , yet it made Stella‘s eyes well
up with tears, and she was unable to extricate herself from her overwhelming emotions.

Weston sensed that something was wrong. “What‘s the matter?”

Stella didn‘t let him catch a glimpse of her eyes.“

Nothing. I don’t want to watch the television anymore.”

Weston looked at the screen, saw the adorable little girl, and realization dawned on him. His eyes
turned dark and heavy.

He wanted to ask her if having a child was so important to her.

However, he instinctively felt such a question would be too cruel to ask.

Yet, he couldn‘t understand Stella‘s undying desire for a child.

“Forget it if you don‘t want to
watch it anymore,” With that, he switched the television off. Suddenly, he lifted Stella‘s chin.

“Let‘s try for another child.”

Stella‘s eyes widened as she looked at him, flabbergasted. “Are you kidding me?”

“I‘m not.”

Weston lowered his head and rubbed his nose gently against hers. “Let’s try for another child.
