    “Uh-huh,” Ste replied, “your grandfather wanted me to.”


    Weston straightened up and peered down at her.


    “What did he say to you?”


    Ste paused, then shook her head and told him,” Nothing much. He just wanted me to get a good rest


    here tonight…”


    Weston’s eyes narrowed into thin slits. That piercing gaze of his would prate even the deepest


    secrets in anyone’s heart.


    “Was that all?” he asked again. “What else did he say?”


    “What else do you think he’d say?”countered Ste. She looked up and bravely met his gaze, daring


    him to search her eyes. “That he would give me arge sum of money so I would leave you, perhaps?”


    “No,” Westonughed. “That’s not his style.”


    “It seems that you two understand each other very well,” Ste raised her brows. “Your grandfather


    knew he couldn’t get rid of me just by throwing money at me.”


    “That’s right,” Weston retracted his gaze and pinched her nose. “It doesn’t matter how much money he


    throws


    at you. You’ll get much more than that if you stay by my


    side.”


    As soon as Ste stepped back into the guest bedroom, she slumped down onto the sofa and sat there


    for a while. She was utterly exhausted. She didn’t even turn on the lights. She just sat there staring at


    the ceiling. She blinked again and again. Her eyes were getting sore. She reached into her bag and


    found that she still had a few pills left. She counted the days when Dr. Zeta Taylor woulde back…


    If Weston didn’t go crazy tonight, she would still have enough. Luckily for her, although Weston had a


    voracious sexual appetite , he was such a busy man that work and other obligations consumed much


    of his energy. He would constantly pester her around the house, wanting to do it again and again.


    However, as soon as he put on his suit jacket, he became Mr. Weston Ford, the distinguished and


    unrivaled president of Ford Corporation.


    With all the things that happened today, Weston would’ve been so preupied that he would have no


    energy left toe to her.


    At least, that was what Ste happily assumed.


    She kicked off her stilettos and took off the ufortable dress that she had been wearing. Naked,


    she looked into the mirror and stared at her body.


    She was covered with hickeys, small andrge. A lot of them were old ones that were fading, but some


    newer, fresher ones were still red. It made her look like a wanton woman.


    She then let her hair downpletely and walked into the bathroom. She stood under the showerhead


    , turned on the shower, and let the water wash over her body as she closed her eyes,

    The image of Zachughing and yelping to get her attention still lingered in her mind.


    The pain that she had been suppressing now finally engulfed her. She could no longer hold it in. She


    fell to her knees, curled up into a ball, and folded her arms.


    The water hadn’t had time to warm up yet. It pricked her skin like a thousand cold, icy needles.


    Her baby.. Her baby… She could’ve had such an adorable baby.


    As tears streamed from her eyes, they mixed with the water from the shower and were washed away.


    After a while, she heard the bathroom door open, and a


    tall silhouette walked in.


    Ste didn’t need to look at the person to find out who it was.


    She took a deep breath and softly muttered, “I’m really tired tonight. I really don’t feel like…”


    Before she could finish speaking, he picked her up in his arms and put her on the bathroom dresser.


    “Don’t worry,” he murmured. “I won’t get in bed with my sister…”


    His handnded on her face, then moved slowly downwards and stopped on her corbone.


    “…the bathtub is good enough for me,” he added.
