Chapter 427


    Chapter 427


    Having tasted the pain of being forced to give up her dreams, Ste did not want her only family to


    have to go through the same thing.


    Right now, she could be dancing or ying the piano on a grand stage. Instead, she was here, staying


    at Weston’s side as a secret mistress and having to meet her worst enemy every day while she led a


    soulless life.


    Weston seemed to see through her then, and gently kissed her forehead in sympathy. “Like I said, say


    yes and I can give you anything you want.”

    Ste pursed her lips and forced a smile, but kept quiet. She would be leaving Weston in a year—if she


    said yes now, things would beplicated when she leaves.


    The opportunity she had won from Bradley Lane was different because she had done it by her own


    strength. However, if she were to take what she wanted by using her rtionship with Weston, she


    would be the very kind of person she had always held in contempt.


    Looking up pleadingly in his arms, she asked, “May I go home for the night? I want to talk to Roger.”


    Weston’s embrace slowly tightened, however, and while he did not refuse her directly, the air around


    them seemed to cool, making it obvious to Ste that he was not happy with that arrangement.


    She hence kept quiet for a long while, and said quietly, “I’ll do anything you want… But today, just for a


    day… Let me talk to him, please?”


    Her eyes became slightly red and teary-these days, she seemed to have learned what worked best


    against Weston, and she was getting adept at it.


    On the other hand, Weston did not want to think if her tears were real even as he watched her. In fact,


    she had already left him down in the dumps anyway, and he was helpless whenever he saw her like


    this.


    Sighing quietly, he said, “You have one night. Settle it right away–I don’t want you to waste more time


    on Roger when we have only one year.” “Okay,” Ste replied with a quivering voice.

    Since Roger was busy at the moment, Weston sent her directly to his apartment. She would have


    refused if Roger was there, and even though they knew that he was not, she looked around to make


    sure no one saw her after she alighted.


    Then, she told Weston, “You should go. I’ll ask your chauffeur to pick me up after I speak to Roger.”


    Weston kissed her cheek. “Come to me if you’re having problems.”


    Ste nodded, and Weston drove off.


    Entering the house, Ste wondered what she should do, and headed to the market to buy some food


    ingredients for the dishes Roger liked.


    The female owner of the store she used to frequent greeted her when she saw her. “Long time no see!


    I thought you and your family moved!” “No, I just went on a business trip.” “I see…” the woman said.


    “Your brother hasn’t been here for ages either. I thought you two have gone somewhere else to buy


    ingredients these days!” She sounded a little usative, but Ste took no offense, before suggesting


    casually, “Roger usually doesn’t cook, so he may be eating at the campus cafeteria…” The woman


    grumbled, “No, I used to see hime by since he cooks on the weekends. I haven’t seen himtely,


    though it really has been a while.”
