Chapter 1408

Stella’s refusal of him was strong and unambiguous. Weston sat on the couch and covered his eyes with one hand. After a long silence, he finally pleaded in a raspy voice, “Just let me stay here for a little while, okay?” Stella walked up to him. Only then did he put his hand down as he looked at her. “I’ll just sit here for a while, and then I’ll go, okay?” Stella ignored him and just stood over him and looked down at him. After remaining silent for a while, she finally relented and told him, “You’re only allowed to sit here for a while, and then you’ll leave, understood?” Weston nodded. Stella turned around and walked away. She headed towards the balcony to put away her things and returned to her bedroom. Half an hour later, she came back out to check on him and saw Weston getting up to get himself a glass of water from the water dispenser, and in his hand was a white bottle of medicine. He poured half of the pills into the bottle and popped them into his mouth. Stella froze.
