    Chapter 426


    The car windows were tinted, meaning that Ste could see outside, but anyone out there could not


    see her.


    Even so, she felt anxious, worried that she had been spotted.


    After all, she had no idea what Roger would do if he found out that she was with Weston.


    She threw up her hands to cover her face, only to soon realize it was stupid and lowered them.


    That was when she noticed Roger carrying a backpack and heading inside an office building. Ste


    nced at the signboard upfront-it was aworkingpany that had a decent reputation, but what


    was Roger doing there? Suddenly getting a foreboding feeling, she whipped out her phone and called


    Roger. She watched as Roger took out his phone, watching the screen and allowing it to ring for a


    while before deciding to hang up. Ste gasped, and quickly texted him: [Where are you?] Roger’s


    reply came immediately. [At school, in ss.) He lied to her!


    Scowling, Ste texted back: (What ss are you having?] Roger did not bother to text back this time.


    Putting away his phone, he headed straight into the office building.


    Ste was going to get out of the car and chase him down, but the sight of Weston in the distance,


    stepping out of his own office building, was enough to make her stop and watch as Roger entered the


    building.


    Weston entered the car soon, and upon seeing that she was looking everywhere but him, he


    grabbed her chin so that she looked at him. “What’s caught your interest?” he asked.


    “I saw Roger,” Ste replied.


    “So?”


    “He went into the office building opposite yours. I have no idea what he’s doing…”


    Weston seemed to know about it. “It’s just a smallworkingpany which is on the risetely. He’s


    graduating soon, so it’s normal that he would be interested inpanies like those.”


    “But I thought he would be studying abroad…”


    “I thought he didn’t want to go?” “He does.” Ste sighed-she knew Roger best. “That’s because he


    wants to be independent. I honestly don’t know what to do… If he ruins his future over that, I have no


    one but myself to me.”


    “He’s an adult. He can choose for himself,” Weston countered, though he sounded like he was backing


    Roger’s decision.


    That in turn left Ste annoyed. “He’s not your younger brother-of course you’d say that. Can you say


    that if Zack were to give up on his dreams just to make a living in the future? Can you say the same


    when that happens?”.


    Weston frowned right then, because it hurt him that she wouldpare Roger to Zack. “It’s two


    completely different things. That’s a poorparison.” “Of course not. That’s your son, and your family


    would go all out and stop at nothing to help him fulfill his dreams.”


    “That’s not what I mean…”


    Weston rubbed between his brow and took her in his arms. “You’re being impatient, and he’s just going


    to rebel harder if you get impatient with him. You used to be young like him, and you know that theContent is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    more you try to stop him from doing something, the more he’s going to fight against you.” “No, he’s


    different.” Ste shook her head, her gaze dropping as she said miserably, “He just wants to ease my


    burdens in the future.”


    “He’s not burdening you now.” “I know…” Ste buried her face behind her palms, suddenly feeling a


    little weary. “For me, I would be very happy if I could see him persevere and take the path he wants,


    and not bepelled by circumstances to give up on what he wants.”
