Chapter 722


    Chapter 722


    Weston took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the dull aching pain inside of him. Someone


    had noticed his presence there…


    “Weston?” his mother called out. “What are you doing, standing over there like that? Come over here!”


    Ste’s body stiffened instantly when she heard what Wendy was saying. She had finally just rxed


    and was able to hold Zach in her arms with ease, but now she suddenly didn’t know what to do, and


    her eyes darted around in panic.


    Zach seemed to sense her distress, and he, too started to get restless. He shook his little arms and


    legs and began to yell.


    “Waaa! Waaa!”


    It looked like he was trying to get Ste’s attention.


    “I think he really likes you!” Wendy eximed.


    Zach had shown much interest in Ste since he first met her on the film set. His big gleaming eyes


    would be fixed on her as if he could already tell that she was a beautiful woman even though he was


    not even a toddler yet.


    “He wouldn’t let anyone hold him at home,” Wendy continued. “But his eyes got huge, and he couldn’t


    even


    blink at the sight of all the beautiful women on set! What a rascal!”


    Just then, Weston came over, and Wendy nodded at him.


    Ste looked away andughed before saying, “If he really does like beautiful women, then he should


    be staring at you all day, every day!” Wendyughed heartily. Although she had a strict skincare


    regimen, there were now visible crow’s feet around the corner of her eyes when sheughed, even


    though they weren’t so obvious when the light was soft and forgiving. “You’re such a sweet talker!”


    Wendy told Ste before ncing at her son and added, “Weston never knew how to cheer me up like


    that! You know, I do regret giving birth to him. I should’ve had a daughter instead! I would’ve been


    much happier with a daughter!”


    Wendy was only joking, of course. Ste was fully aware of it, too, so she didn’t take any of it to heart.


    She could feel that Weston’s gaze was fixed on her even though he was standing behind her. He was


    exuding a kind of pressure, but she refused to look back at him and just pretended that she didn’t know


    he was there at all, while all the while focusing on teasing Zach and tickling his chin to make him


    laugh.


    Luckily, Zach was very cooperative. He burst out intoughter when Ste tickled him even though the


    streams


    of tears on his cheeks had not even dried yet.


    “Hahahaha…”


    Zach’s high-pitchedughter rang through the hallway.


    “Look at how happy he is!” cried Wendy, who was now in a very good mood when she saw how


    cheerful Zach was. Then she turned to her son and grumbled, “Even his own father had never been


    able to cheer him up like that! I guess he must really like E!”


    Weston leaned down and stared at Ste’s profile. The light shone down gently on her face. Weston’s


    expressions softened as well. He couldn’t help but reach out a hand to stroke her hair. “It’s because


    they’re both children after all,” hemented. “That’s why they get along so well.”


    Ste glowered at him before handing Zach back to Wendy


    “He just yawned a couple of times just now,” she told her. “I think he must be sleepy.”


    Wendy took him into her arms and gently patted his back. “I’ll take him back to the nursery and put him


    to sleep then,” she said, gazing at Weston and Ste. “Both of you should go to bed now. It’s getting


    late.” Anyone could tell she was trying to give the two of them some alone time.


    As soon as Wendy was gone, Weston pinned Ste to the wall and murmured, “It appears that a


    certain someone likes you very much.” “Who are you referring to?” Ste raised her chin to look


    straight into his eyes. “Wendy or Zach?”


    Weston sniggered before leaning down to her ear and whispered, “Didn’t it ur to you that I might be


    referring to myself, hmm?”


    Ste’s eyes darkened. She quickly looked away to escape the intimate moment they were sharing. It


    didn’t matter how cold her heart was in regards to Weston; it was impossible she remained unmoved


    when he just implied that he liked her very much. The phrase meant a lot to her.


    The fact that Weston would just blurt out that he liked her very much willy-nilly told her that she was like


    a new toy to him-nothing more than a passing fancy.


    Seeing that she was avoiding his eye contact, Weston dropped the subject, hoping to not make it any


    more awkward for her.

    “Are you staying here tonight?” he asked, caressing her face.
