Chapter 16

anything to do with you, but because it might be the only child I can ever have. I would’ve kept it no matter who the father is… Ouch!” She felt the force gripping her increase before she could finish her sentence. Stella noticed the raging hostility in Weston’s eyes, threatening to drown her. But after a moment, they quickly stilled and showed no turbulence. She thought she was mistaken. Weston’s thumb pressed down on her bottom lip, forcing her mouth to open slightly. “You look better when you’re crying.” Stella stared straight at him. They were too close together that his breaths reminded her of their intimate nights together. She didn’t understand how someone who had ruthlessly used and abandoned her could nonchalantly say this to her now? Stella’s gaze gradually darkened and she turned her head away. “You’ll be marrying Guinevere soon. Aren’t you afraid that she might get upset that you’ve carried your ex-wife into your car out here in public?” Right after she said that, she heard the man laugh. “Not bad. You’re even bringing Gwen into this.” Weston studied her clear eyes. “What else do you have? Try me.” Stella scoffed, laughing at herself in the process. “Don’t you love it when women cry, Mr. Ford? Can’t Ms. Cohen compare to my tears?” Weston’s eyes on her gradually darkened. He released her with flagging interest. “Don’t compare yourself to her.” Stella looked down. “Ms. Cohen is a great celebrity loved by all, so of course I can’t compare to her. But since you love her so much, Mr. Ford, you shouldn’t let an insignificant ex-wife like me be a thorn in her heart.” Weston kept quiet. He didn’t seem forced when he looked at her, and his eyes were calm as if he agreed with her. After a moment, he chuckled for some reason. When he finally backed away and went around the car to get in, Stella slowly turned her head back, breathing a sigh of relief. The car moved away. Stella frowned. “Where are you going?” Weston didn’t answer. He stared at the road ahead and casually propped his hand on the steering wheel, revealing a metal watch on his wrist. “Stardust Mansion.” Stardust Mansion was their marriage home. Their marriage was sudden and they didn’t host a ceremony. Stella only had Roger as her relative, so after they got their marriage certificate and had dinner with Roger, she officially became Mrs. Ford. The place she used to call home was now just a name. Stella retracted her gaze. “Great. I just happened to need to head there to collect my luggage.” Then, she would collect their divorce certificate with him, and this man shall disappear from her life. *** The mansion’s district was quite far away from the city center. Stardust Mansion wasn’t exactly huge, but it was well-positioned. The scenery and environment around it were top-notch, and it was a suitable residential location for newlyweds. A black luxury car drove into the yard and stopped at the parking lot. The two entered the elevator. After opening the door, Stella subconsciously studied the decor of the house with mixed feelings. Weston didn’t like having strangers at home. He was a detached and aloof man who preferred being meticulous at work, but alone in private. Although the mansion wasn’t big, it had all the necessary facilities. It even had a garden and swimming pool, so keeping the house in order required a lot of work. Weston had arranged for a few housekeepers to be in charge of cleaning and cooking. However, Stella liked the feeling of being able to manage her house herself, so she frequently took charge instead. As a result, they didn’t let the housekeepers live with them but only had them come over once in a while. For Weston, this was only a house, but for Stella, this was her home. There were traces of her
