Chapter 242

Sometimes, Weston could get his point across without saying a single word. Stella paused and rested her hand on the back of his hand. Weston stiffened. He did not think she would take the initiative. After a long pause, Stella explained, “I haven’t been home for a while. Besides, the training center will be closed next month. Roger is aware of it… If I continue to stay outside, I’m afraid it’ll arouse his suspicions.” Weston looked at her hand holding his, and his eyes flickered slightly. The emotions on his face did not change much. He said, “I remember saying this before: You have to handle this yourself.” “I know.” Stella lowered her voice a little and pleaded, “I understand, but I can’t think of a reasonable explanation for living with you… Can you give me a little time? Let me convince Roger, okay?” She knew how to use weakness to gain Weston’s understanding. She turned around in his arms and raised her head. Then, she stared at him with innocent and fragile-looking eyes.
