Chapter 473


    Chapter 473


    Until now, the only thing on Ste’s mind was to do everything in her ability to ensure Roger would


    have a better future. She didn’t have the time to process how his absence would make her feel.


    But now, the reality of the situation had finally set in. Ever since their parents died, the two had never


    been separated.


    “You know…” Roger grumbled gloomily. “I can just study here… I don’t really have to go abroad.”


    It was obvious that he was feeling down too.


    “Forget it,” he continued after a pause, sighing. “I’ve made up my mind, and all the preparations are


    almost done. I won’t back down now. Just wait for me, sis. I promise I’ll study as hard as possible and


    get a good job. No one will dare bully you then!” “Good!” Ste smiled. She picked up a barbecued pork


    rib with her fork and ced it on Roger’s te. Ribs were his favorite food. Then her phone suddenly


    rang. She nced at it and the light in her eyes instantly dimmed. It was Weston. She hadn’t told him


    abouting here. Roger’s gaze instinctively followed Ste’s eyes, and he asked with a frown, “Who


    is it?” “No one,” Ste shook her head, putting the phone into her bag. “Just a prank call.” Roger went


    silent for a while before saying, “Why do I feel like I’ve seen this number many times before?”

    Roger had a photographic memory when it came to numbers. He was sure that he’d seen this number


    always sending text messages to Ste in the past. If it really was just a prankster, why didn’t she just


    block the caller?


    “I guess pranksters are really persistent nowadays,” Ste replied with a shrug. Then she quickly


    changed the subject. “By the way… did Professor Hall really leave this university?” Although her


    attempt at changing the topic was too blunt, Roger still thought nothing of it. He soon forgot about the


    number and talked to Ste about Justin Hall.


    Lunchtime quickly went by. Roger went back home to rest. Ste found a quiet spot and finally picked


    up her phone, which had been ringing off the hook.


    “Hello?”


    “Where are you?” a stern voice answered.


    Ste said nothing for a few seconds before replying nonchntly, “I’m on the film set.”


    “You know I hate it when people lie to me.”


    Ste heaved a long sigh. She knew then that he’d found out she was lying.


    “I’m at the university,” she answered softly. “I just came here to see Roger.”


    “I’ve never stopped you from seeing him,” he said. “Why did you have to lie?”


    Just as he spoke, a ck car slowly pulled out from around the corner. Ste quickly hung up the


    phone and looked around her. Seeing no one there, she rushed towards the car with her head hung


    low.


    The second she got inside, Weston pulled her into his arm, lifted her chin, and kissed her ferociously.


    Ste had gotten used to his abrupt kisses by now, but she still hated being so close and intimate with


    him.


    Sensing Ste’s stark resistance, Weston grabbed her hands and held her in ce before kissing her


    even more deeply and ravenously. It was a long time before he finally had enough of her and let go.


    She was now panting and out of breath. “I thought you were still at work!” she argued. “If I was,” he


    said, rubbing her lips gently with his thumb, “then I wouldn’t have found out that you were lying to me.”


    He had, in fact, quickly settled all his work today to pick her up, worried that Guinevere would cause


    her trouble. To his dismay, not only did she sneak out to meet Roger, but she even lied about it.


    With those thoughts guing his mind, Weston’s darkened eyes pierced into Ste’s soul. “What else


    are you hiding from me?” he demanded. Ste said nothing and just hooked her hands around the


    nape of his neck. “What can I possibly hide from you?” she replied after a while. “You know that I


    couldn’t even if I wanted to, right? Don’t you always see through me?”
