The streetlights were dim, and pedestrians were scarce. The night sky was dotted with stars; the background was a boundless horizon.The tall man stood in the light, his shadow stretched out infinitely with the light from his back, exuding subtle loneliness.Stella walked to the balcony and looked down with her phone in her hand. “What business do you have that you come looking for me?”“Why don’t you ask me how I got your address?”She laughed. “Do I have to? Who in Ahn City would not know about your ability? It is just an address. Anyone who has it will send it to you.”Hearing her teasing tone, Weston raised his head and looked at the slender figure on the balcony and said with a hoarse voice, “You come down, or I come up?”She withdrew her eyes and leaned on the railing behind her, leaving him with only a back view.A moment later, she looked at her nails and said indifferently, “I’m not going down, and you don’t have to come up. It’s good for us to be separated by a distanc
When she finished, she turned around, entered the building, and did not come out again.…When it was time to go to work, everything had already been recharged.It wasn’t time for her appointment with Bradley yet, so she leisurely made breakfast for Elias and Emma.When she heard the sound of a car engine downstairs, she knew it was Weston driving away.She took two glasses of milk and placed them in front of Elias and Emma, staring at them as they drank them.Emma’s small hands held the large glass of milk. She reluctantly finished it, and milk foam was all over her mouth.Seeing this, Elias said in disgust, “Dirty cat, messy cat.”He pulled out a tissue paper and wiped her mouth.When Stella walked out of the kitchen with a plate of poached eggs and saw the interaction between the twins, her heart felt warm and tender.So many things happened in the past few years, and she felt that her life was rather unfortunate, filled with many ups and downs.But sometimes, she felt th
Weston frowned upon hearing that.Daisy tensed up, seeing his facial expression.Just as she was speculating which of her words made him uncomfortable, the man suddenly opened his thin lips lightly and said, “She’s married. You shouldn’t call her that.”She froze for a moment, and her eyes flickered, not expecting that he would care about this by this time…She nodded, barely tugging her lips, and said, “My mistake… I just didn’t expect that Mrs. Ford did not look for you in the past three years… After we left last night, didn’t you have a proper conversation with her?”He curled his fingers and held them against his eyebrows, slightly closing his eyes for a moment.She saw the dark circles under his eyes and was a little distressed.He must’ve only slept a little last night.He must be thinking about that woman again.What was so good about her that she could make him miss her so much…She was still laughing at Nicole last night. But the actual fact was that she was similar
Even if Daisy hated her and was disgusted with her, she still had to take her side. This was so Weston would pay more attention to her.After thinking it through, Daisy said to Weston, “I won’t make such a mistake again. I’ll take care of whoever you care about…”Weston waved his hand and motioned for her to leave. Daisy responded and quickly reverted to being a professional secretary. She arranged his schedule for him and said, “There’s a dinner party at The Dog House tonight. It’s a meeting with the boss of the upcoming steel business in Ahn City. If we work with him, we can have large savings.”“Then arrange it.” Weston agreed to the schedule, so Daisy took the file and left.Weston had no reason to fire Daisy as long as she was efficient and kept her personal feelings to herself at work....Stella finished cleaning up by noon. The nanny was late. “Sorry, Miss Cicily. I’m a little late. Where are the two little ones?”Stella got to know her in Compassvale. She was a nice
“Thanks.” Stella led her to sit down on the sofa and looked at Bradley. She joked with them, “Thanks. You kept your mouth shut and didn’t say a thing, knowing I was still alive. I’m glad Weston didn’t come to disturb my life.”“It was such a big deal.. Of course, I’d keep it a secret!”“I’m not someone with a big mouth,” Angelina said.After she said that, Stella shot her a look.Angelina felt a little weak and covered her mouth. “Well, about Yvonne… It was just a slip of the tongue…”The only people who knew she was still alive were Bradley, Yvonne, and Angelina. She only told them after her situation had stabilized.After all, they were the ones who really cared about her. She did not want to show up one day by surprise suddenly. They might think that she did not take them seriously as friends at all.Stella’s character had matured over the years. She could be indifferent to those she hated but cared about the people she loved more than ever.Bradley did not say anything. H
Weston’s eyes gradually darkened, and his attention drifted from what the person next to him was saying.He was distracted until Daisy nudged him as a reminder. Weston glanced at the people in the room and pointed out all the mistakes they had just said.Daisy froze for a moment. She knew Weston was clearly distracted earlier, but she never expected that he’d still see through their plans at a glance.Weston was born to be in the business world. His perceptiveness and insight were very rare and one of the best in the world.The investors sitting next to Weston heard Weston’s comments and nodded in agreement. “We weren’t going to work with such a young principal initially, but your name is just too big.”One of them casually said, “After this project, we plan to involve ourselves in the entertainment industry. It’s a profitable time. I heard a movie has the potential to earn over a billion or two at the box office.”“That’s true, but you’ll need enough upfront capital to invest,”
Thrilled by his own idea, the man suggested that he introduce someone to Weston. If this worked, a lot of things would be much easier.After all, Weston had abstained from sex for three years. A man would feel the need eventually.The man chanced his arm abroad while observing Weston’s reaction. Weston’s face remained cold and unapproachable in the light.With just one look, he began to feel weak. He thought Weston would reject him.What Weston said next surprised him. Weston said indifferently, “The one in the next room is good.”Everyone in the room was startled by Weston’s reply. Did Weston agree to the suggestion? Did they hear wrongly? Did he not always stay away from women?The guy who proposed it was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted with a smug look. “We’ll get on it!”He knew it. They were all men. How could Weston reject such a suggestion?He probably hadn’t encountered a woman he wanted yet. Was he finally going to break the chaste?“Leave it to us, Mr. Ford.
Stella had a unique sense of charm in the light. Stella’s beauty was immense, so breathtaking that nobody could take their eyes off of her.She had a kind of charm that completely bewitched him. He was staring so hard at her that he almost forgot to reply.When the guy next to him nudged him in the arm, he finally came back to his senses. “I’m so sorry… Come over! Miss, please sit over here. I’ll pour you a glass of wine!”Bradley shot the guy a cold glare. He got up and walked to Stella, “If you don’t want to, I’ll take you out now.”“No, it’s fine.” Stella looked him in the eye and said faintly, “Even if we leave now, he’ll still find ways to come to me later. There’s no need to keep hiding. I’ve done nothing wrong, have I?”Bradley looked at her steadily and did not say anything. At last, he sighed and returned to his seat.Stella glanced at the current seat and saw only one empty spot next to Weston, seemingly left on purpose.She let out a laugh. “I can’t sit next to someon
