Chapter 196


    Chapter 196


    Weston was observing her expression.


    He would reduce the force on his hands whenever she furrowed her brows.


    His movements were very gentle, yet he would still hurt her identally.


    After repeating it a few times, though, he slowly got the hang of it.


    He was undeniably a fast learner.


    It only took him a couple of minutes, but he seemed to master it pretty quickly and didn’t hurt Ste


    anymore.


    The sound of the hair dryer stopped. Her dry and draped softly over her shoulders, revealing her small


    face.


    He held her up,bed her hair, and suddenly questioned, “Your hair grew longer?”


    She turned her face to the side, not wanting to answer.


    He could see that she was repelled but continued to ask, “It’s still early. Do you want to do something


    else?” “I want to sleep.” She shook her head.


    “It’s only 9 pm. You won’t be able to sleep. Or…” The man’s tone took on new meaning.


    Her brows furrowed and her fist clenched tightly when she heard this.


    He was always like that. When he wanted her to do something and she didn’t want it, he wouldn’t push


    her. Instead, he’d provide her with another option far from what she wanted, so that in the end, she’d


    have no choice but to do what he requested.


    Ste took in a deep breath as she knew that he wouldn’t take no for an answer, so she said, “ Let’s


    just watch a movie.” “Really? I thought you were going to say you’ll be ying the piano.”


    He was still thinking about the scene he saw in the hall.


    She thought that he had forgotten about it but there he goes bringing it up again.


    “Don’t tell me you want to cause trouble for that person.” She stared at him with wide eyes.


    That man was only a stranger to her. She didn’t want him getting involved in their issues, just as she


    didn’t want to put Yvonne in the spotlight and jeopardize her rtionship with Lucas.


    She could see that Lucas was prejudiced against her.


    Even if she looked down on herself, how could she, an overtly self-conscious person, deserve the


    assistance of others?

    On the other hand, Weston didn’t understand her feelings and merely thought that she was defending


    that man. “You just met him and you’re protecting him now?” “I’m not protecting him. I just don’t want


    an innocent person to get involved!” Ste


    increased her tone, having no idea when Weston would understand. A proud man like him had long


    been ustomed to people making way for him. He had never known the agony of being tangled up or


    the agony of having no options, hence the reason he had behaved so recklessly.


    He heard her loud and clear.


    It was hard to guess the look that was on his face, but he repositioned himself to make her sit better in


    his arms. “It seems you have lots of opinions about me.”


    “I wouldn’t dare.” She lowered her gaze.


    He pinched her chin and forced her to look into his eyes. “You’re quite brave when you’reining


    about me. Why don’t you dare now?” His words implied that only Ste was this bold to talk in front of


    him. If it were others, he wouldn’t have given them a chance. Not even Guinevere.


    Seeing her avoiding his gaze as if she was trying to fight against him, his eyes turned cold. “Don’t


    worry, I won’t cause trouble to that man, as long as you don’t do things that anger me. I won’t make


    things difficult for you too,” he said, his heart softening somewhat. She clenched her fists, and


    frustration brewed in her heart. However, to reassure him, all she could do was to nod and agree.


    “Remember your words.”
