    “You mean you want me to make him tired of me?”


    “That would be best,” said Warren, “but I won’t force you, of course. At the very least, you should stop


    charming him with your tricks.”


    Ste burst outughing.


    “You must’ve either overestimated my charms or underestimated Weston!” she eximed. “Do you


    think a man like him would fall for me just through simple schemes?”


    “I would never underestimate him as a businessman,” Warren replied calmly, unruffled by Ste’s


    rebuttal. “In that regard , he truly is unrivaled . But it doesn’t matter how strong or capable he is. In the


    end, he is still just a hot-blooded man. He may bepletely disinterested with some women, but I


    know his only weakness is women.”


    “It seems that you understand him very well indeed,” said Ste. She curtailed any expressions on her


    face and slowly but very clearly added, “It’s a pity that youpletely neglected one point in this matter


    – I am the one who wanted him to lose interest in me more than anybody else.”


    Warren was in the middle of pouring himself another cup of tea. Ste’s wordspletely stumped


    him. He stared down at the cup, quickly filling up with tea before slowly putting the teapot down.


    “That is indeed unexpected…” he smiled thinly. “Are you telling me that you don’t, in fact, want to be


    with him at  all?”


    “Not everyone thinks the world of your grandson,” Ste smiled sardonically. “But he is used to being


    highly regarded by everyone around him, and he takes it for granted that he should get anything he


    wants.”


    “You can leave him if you don’t like him.”


    “You know your grandson more than anyone else, “Ste argued. “You must know exactly what he is


    like.”


    “Interesting,” Warren fell silent. He then smiled and asked, “Is he ckmailing you?”

    “I have a brother who’s the only family I have left in this world,” answered Ste with a stony


    expression.” Weston has been using him to threaten me. But he’s gone abroad now, so I can finally


    rx a little.”


    “I had no idea…” Warren frowned. A look of regret cropped up on his face. “It must be terrible for you,


    child.”


    This sudden change in his attitude left Ste with mixed feelings. She had known the Ford family to be


    upstanding virtuous people, but no matter how friendly they might appear to you, they would always


    have the best interest of their family in mind.


    “You’re right that it is terrible for me,” she said bluntly, not wishing to y dumb, “but I’m also sure that


    you would do nothing to hold Weston ountable for his actions.”


    Warren was speechless. After a while, he nodded and told her, “I am not surprised that Weston fell for


    you. You’re not like any other woman around him. You’re much more astute than them.”


    “If there’s nothing else, then please excuse me…”


    “Wait!” Warren sprung up to his feet. “Since Weston likes you very much, he’d have no desire to stay


    here in the Ford Mansion if you’re gone, so why don’t you stay here for the night?”


    Ste’s eyes widened in disbelief.


    “Didn’t you just tell me that you want him to lose interest in me?” she asked.


    “Yes,” Warren chuckled , “and I still do. But I think it’s best to use a different n to achieve it.”


    Ste pursed her lips. Her eyes gleamed as she slowly walked towards Warren Ford.


    “What kind of n do you have in mind?” she asked.


    “Just do what I say,” he replied, “and I will make sure  that you and your brother can reunite, and


    Weston will never bother you again.”


    “Really?” Ste gasped. “You’re not lying to me, are  you?”


    “Of course, I’m not lying to you,” he reassured her. “As things stand, who else do you think has the


    authority and capability to rein Weston in other than me?”


    “What should I do, then?”


    “Right now, you’re Wendy’s goddaughter, which means that you are officially a member of the Ford


    family. In that case, it is perfectly natural for you to stay in this house. I will ask the housekeeper to get


    a room ready for  you.”


    Ste said nothing, but Warren went on as if to answer her unasked question, “Since Weston likes you


    very much, then we’ll let him enjoy yourpany as much as he likes. Right now, you should just let


    him do whatever he wants.”
