    Ste nced at Justin’s face and blocked the number without thinking. She didn’t want Weston to


    disturb her life anymore.


    Weston was not a patient guy. Ste could tell since he stopped sending her text messages. As their


    car arrived in front of the school gate, she took a nce at her dark screen before shifting her gaze


    away. Justin helped her out of the car by opening the car door and unbuckling her seat belt. He


    purposefully ced his arms over her shoulders, closing the gap between them. Ste initially wanted


    to dodge, but after giving it some thought, she gave up and stood stiffly alongside him.


    The two looked like a couple.


    She felt there was no need to be pompous since they had already discussed getting married in the


    future. Hence, immediately adapting herself to the position of a wife would be beneficial for them.


    There were so many loveless married couples in the world. Ste believed she and Justin could do the


    same and still respect one another.


    A great man like Justin could easily find a stepmother for his son.


    But for Ste, finding a man who could go head-on against Weston wasn’t easy.


    Regardless, the two of them needed each other for their own benefit. Justin, on the other hand, would


    compromise a bit for her.


    Hence, she wouldn’t be coy about these little things, which could upset him. When Justin wrapped his


    arms around her, he felt her tense up for a second before she immediately rxed. He could tell she


    was pushing herself, but she was doing her best to match with him. Seeing her acting tough made his


    heart ache.


    The first time he met her, he noticed that she had a unique aura.


    She would clearly distinguish herself from others. She would remember how much others had given


    her.


    She wasn’t a sweet talker and might be a bit pessimistic at times, but as long as she found an


    opportunity, she would repay all the favors she had previously owed. Ste was like a helpless woman


    drowning in the mud, yet she never gave up. She didn’t seem to realize how appealing her twisted


    nature was.

    Bryce was in his teens and was in middle school.


    Ste felt nervous since boys at this age were already quite mature.


    After the bell rang, a bunch of students in uniforms rushed outside. Ste suggested to Justin when


    they were on the road, “You could send him to a private school.


    Justin’s response was, “This school is closer to my workce. I rarely have time to care for him, but


    since the school is so close, I feel like I’m at least with him. Plus, he couldn’t stand being that far away


    from me. He attended elementary school here and made many friends. I nned to transfer him to a


    better high school, but he wanted to remain here, and his grades are fairly excellent, so I didn’t.”


    Ste smiled at him. “You respect your son’s choice.”


    Justin was stunned for a while because no one had ever said that about him.
