    Chapter 495


    Although it was bitterly cold and snow was falling heavily outside, it was warm andfortable inside


    the car, and her hands shouldn’t have been that cold.


    Weston had changed the subject so quickly that Ste could tell he didn’t want to continue arguing


    about her driving. She shook her head and said, “My hands have always been this cold.”


    His brows furrowed even together.

    He remembered that Ste did not have such a condition in the past. A thought came to his mind, and


    his face turned downcast.


    The air in the car turned colder.


    Ste used to hate such an atmosphere.


    Yet now, she did not want to reduce the guilt that Weston felt for her, and she looked straight into his


    eyes.


    She knew that Weston recalled something.


    Because of that child, because she stopped at nothing to keep that child who was ruthlessly taken


    away from her and ended up as a pool of blood…


    She was left with such a condition after that time.


    Her limbs were cold throughout the year across all seasons and could never be warm no matter


    how much she covered them up.


    Weston snapped back after a long while. He held her hands and held them against his cheeks. Ste


    felt a warmth in her palms as she heard Weston’s hoarse voice. “I’ll never allow you to be cold, ever


    again.” He looked into her eyes and promised, “As long as you wish, I’ll always be here with you. You


    can be warm with me.”


    Ste remained silent as she looked away.


    She wanted nothing more than to tell him that he was cold himself, and the chill was in his blood.


    No matter how warm his palms were, however, they could never warm her up.


    “Why did you suddenly think ofing to the office to pick me up?” Weston lifted his hands and tucked


    her hair behind her ears.


    Thest time Ste came to fetch him, things ended acrimoniously between them, and they almost got


    into a huge fight.


    The trigger was that Weston didn’t trust Ste’s driving skills and thought that her driving by


    herself would be dangerous for her.


    He thought that was reason enough to stop Ste from driving and fetching him home, but he didn’t


    expect her to drive her despite the snow and slippery roads. Weston wanted to interrogate her, but the


    sight of her safe and sound before him made him give up pursuing the matter. Ste sighed. “For no


    reason whatsoever. I just wanted to leave the house. If you don’t like it, I won’te next time…”


    Weston choked on her words and reached his hand out in mock frustration to pinch her nose.“ Are you


    deliberately trying to anger me?”


    He did not wish to see Ste leave the house on such a cold day, but he wasn’t happy hearing her say


    that she wouldn’t pick him up next time.


    They had their whole lives stretched out before them. Ste’s driving skills couldn’t possibly be that


    poor, could they? Ste pushed his hand away. “Are you going to keep treating me like an amateur


    driver?” Weston remained silent as he looked at her with a half-smile. Although he didn’t respond, his


    silence was sufficient.


    Anger rose in Ste’s heart. “I can’t be bothered with you.” There was an observable difference in her


    attitude nowpared to the past -she dared to get upset with Weston and did not bother hiding her


    true feelings when she was angry. She no longer feared that he would get angry or displeased. Weston


    turned her face around and kissed the tip of her nose with a smile. “It’s the truth.” “Go on. I’ll just ignore


    you.”


    Weston lowered his head and remained silent. He grabbed her hands and gently rubbed her knuckles.


    “I guess it’s good that you’re being slightly defiant.”
