Chapter 395


    Chapter 395 Ste paused before reaching out to feel his forehead. “Are you getting warm again?”


    Why would he still be so sticky even when he was awake?


    Weston simply stared at her and suddenly leaned in to kiss her.


    He pried open her mouth, his breath hot and heavy. Somehow, he could smell a refreshing scent on


    her, like an ocean breeze on a hot summer‘s day.


    He kissed her deeply, savoring her lips and holding her tenderly.


    Ste realized that he was getting better and better at kissing. He seemed to be engrossed, immersed


    in trying to excite her senses. Ste had never seen Weston try so hard to make her feel good. Gone


    was his possessiveness and aggressiveness of the past, and although he was pushy, he wasn‘t


    overbearing and was, in fact, warm and gentle. Only two of them were left in the hall. The movie credits


    were still rolling on the television screen. Ste had lowered the volume of the television. The


    background music couldn‘t drown out the sound of her heart beating. When the kiss ended, Ste‘s


    face flushed just like Weston‘s, as if she had also developed a fever.

    Ste felt like she had been infected by him.


    “Aren‘t you afraid of passing the virus to me?” She grumbled.


    Weston leaned his forehead against hers. “If you fall sick, it‘ll be my turn tomorrow to take care of you.”


    “Forget it,” Ste pushed him away. “I really need to sleep right now...”


    Weston refused to let her go, however. “Stay here and talk to me.”


    “It‘s sote now, and a thunderstorm‘s forecasted for tomorrow. You don‘t have to report to the crew


    tomorrow.” He held onto her stubbornly. “Keep mepany.” Ste stood up and looked down at him.


    She saw the look in his eyes that she had never seen before.


    She sighed and sat back down. “What do you want to talk about?”


    There were some things that he had wanted to tell her on multiple asions, but when the opportunity


    finally arose, he realized how difficult it was to put them in words. Weston caressed her face. He should


    have said these things when his temperature was at its highest. Now that he was awake and alert, it


    made things more difficult for him.


    “For a family like ours, our idea and concept of marriage differ from most ordinary people.” After a long


    while, Weston finallymented.


    Ste suddenly understood what he meant and simply stared at him. With a chuckle, she said, “Are you


    trying to tell me that your marriage with Guinevere is but amercial alliance?”


    Weston didn‘t respond, simply looking deeply into her eyes.


    He seemed to have expected the sarcasm in Ste‘s tone, and he went on. “If I were to tell you that


    things between Guinevere and I aren‘t what they seem...” “Don‘t treat me like a fool!” Ste cut him off.


    “Things havee to this point, and I‘m already stuck by your side, unable to go anywhere. For this


    year, at least, I‘ll bepletely at your mercy. Why must you still say such things to dupe me? Is it very


    amusing to treat me like a fool?”


    Her eyes turned red.


    “You‘ve been lying to me right from the beginning. I thought I was lucky to be fancied by you and


    married to you...everything felt like a dream until you eventually told me that I was just a tool that you


    used to provoke Guinevere! I‘m merely a stepping stone for your rtionship with her...”


    “Fine, I left. I no longer want to be involved in your rtionship with her. I can‘t afford to y games


    with you rich people...but why must you force me into a corner like this? Why?” “You and


    Guinevere...both of you...all of you are forcing me into a corner...” All this while, Ste had been


    suppressing her innermost feelings. Finally, at this point, her emotions were on the verge of copse.


    “Do you know what I can‘t stand the most? You two obviously yed me like a fool, but I still have to


    tolerate that pretentious and self–righteous face of yours!” “What is left for you to exin? That, in fact,


    your rtionship with Guinevere isn‘t that deep? Is it not enough that you‘re making me pretend to be


    the Ste of the past, who loved you wholeheartedly? Do you want me to be eternally grateful to you


    from the bottom of my heart?”


    “What do you take me for?” Ste raised her voice and asked, choking back her tears.
