Chapter 16

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.
