Chapter 106


    Chapter 106 The car drove on with no destination in sight.


    Ste asked him, “Where are you taking me?”


    Weston nced at the navigator. “Where do you want to go?”


    “I don’t want to go anywhere. I just want to go home.” “You can go to my ce.” Ste took a deep


    breath and refused to speak another word. Weston nced at her with a helpless smile. “Do you want


    to eat something?” It was time for dinner, but Ste hadn’t the appetite. “Anything.”


    She had only treated him with a horrific attitude, but he appeared to not mind at all. He casually


    searched for a restaurant and suggested, “This ce has a good rating. Shall we give it a try?”


    With just a nce, Ste could tell it was an expensive ce to eat. “Nevermind. I can’t afford


    it.”


    The man frowned upon hearing what she said. “I remember giving you a huge fortune, more than


    enough for you to sustain your lifestyle. Don’t tell me you can’t even afford a meal now.”


    Ste closed her eyes, “Money will run out eventually. Do you think it’llst forever?”


    There was a time she thought she could be her parents’ precious child for the rest of her life. They


    loved her and cherished her.


    Overnight, her world was turned upside down. All she had in the past had vanished.


    Life was unpredictable. No one knew this better than her-often, a fine line stood between heaven and


    hell.


    Nothing in the world was eternal and reliable. The only one you could rely on was yourself.


    She used to be a precious little princess to her parents, but she was no different than a mere


    commoner now.


    Weston looked at the road ahead and said casually, “How old are you? Why do you sound so


    old?


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    “One’s age doesn’t necessarily corrte to experience. Some people are very lucky. They can live like


    an innocent and ignorant child all their lives. They can keep their childlike innocence until they grow


    old, but for others…”


    Ste’s face turned slightly bitter. “Some others may be still young, but life has worn them


    out.”


    Weston finally looked at her. “Are you talking about yourself?” Ste came back to her senses and


    realized who was sitting next to her. She collected her thoughts and stopped talking. Weston tapped his


    fingers on the steering wheel and suddenly felt a little annoyed.


    He had rarely spoken to Ste about these. When the two were together, it was Ste who had trailed


    behind him, learning his hobbies and habits. This was his first time listening to Ste’s heart, albeit in


    such a tense atmosphere


    Finally, they arrived at the restaurant,


    Ste nced at the exterior design of the restaurant. “Are you going to take me out like this in public?


    Are you not afraid of being seen by others?”


    “I’m not a public figure, so don’t you worry.”


    “Do I have to remind you that Guinevere is a huge star? Anyone on the street knows her name.


    Besides, both of you are often in the headlines. Your title as the richest man in Ahn City alone garners


    a lot of attention. Are you sure we won’t be found out? What if Guinevere goes mad after knowing


    about my existence and tries to kill me again?”


    Ste felt as though she had reached a dead end. Weston was forcing her to be by his side;


    Guinevere, on the other hand, was hostile to all the women around Weston. She would get rid of all of


    them.


    It was like they were working together to keep her in trouble. Weston looked at her and gestured for her


    to take his arm. He only said two words, “Trust me.” Ste’s eyes were full of indifference.


    The words “trust me” carry the least weight in Weston’s promises. In Ste’s eyes, what he said meant


    nothing to her.
