Chapter 1371
Weston wrapped his arms around Ste from behind and nuzzled against the nape of her neck, his
gestures full of longing.
“Let me hug you just a little longer, okay? I promise I won’t ever bother you again. after this.”
Ste, unsurprisingly, did not take him at his word. He had promised her the exact same thing so many
times before, yet none of it came to pass. He always ended up pestering her again within days of saying
that.
Still hungover from all that drinkingst night, which made her feel horrible, she quickly went back to
sleep. When she woke up again, she found that Weston was no longer to be seen.
Ste did not exactly mind his absence, but she still could not help but be irritated. Why did he not say
goodbye or even tell her that he was about to leave? How could he just disappear like that? What an
annoying man!
She then went downstairs back to her own ce, and just as she arrived, she heard Roger’s voice.
He quickly rose to his feet when he saw Ste and agitatedly walked up to her, asking, “I heard Weston
Ford was taking care of youst night. Are you okay?”
“Of course I’m okay,” she replied, confused by his question. “Why wouldn’t I?”
“He didn’t hurt you, did he?”
“No,” she shook her head. “Don’t be so worried.”
“How could I not?” argued Roger, who thought that Ste was clearly teasing him.” Everyone knows what
kind of man he is. If he decided to do anything to you…”
“Don’t worry,” Ste coughed lightly, interrupting him. “He didn’t do anything to mest night.”
“How is that even possible?”
Weston’s reputation by that point was just so poor that no one would believe that he did nothing at all to
Ste after spending the entire night with her.
In fact, even Ste could hardly believe it. She never thought of him as a particrly noble or virtuous
gentleman, but the truth still remained that he did nothing to her at allst night, so she had no reason to
find any fault with him.
Roger scrutinized Ste with his eagle eyes as if trying to draw out some clues from her face.
“What are you doing?” asked Ste after Roger had been staring at her face for a while. “Why are you
looking at me like that?”
“Your attitudes towards him have changed, Sis.”
“What do you mean?” Ste asked, stunned for a while.
“I meant to say that it looks like you’re going to get back together with him.”
“Nonsense!” Ste cried, her face turning stony and cold.
Whenever Roger thought of the possibility that Ste and Weston might be together again, he would get
so anxious that he found it hard to breathe.
“Did you notice that your heart is gradually softening towards him now?”
Ste shook her head.
“I’m not in the mood to talk about this with you…”Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
“Are you not in the mood, or are you just too afraid to talk about it?”
Roger ignored the fact that Elias and Emma were both there with them and suddenly grabbed Ste’s
wrist, forcing her to look straight into his eyes.
“Tell me the truth!” he demanded. “Are you going to make up with him?”
“What I’m going to do…” Ste shoved his hand away. “Is none of your business. I’m not obliged to tell
you anything.”
Roger’s mouth hung agape in disbelief that Ste would say that to him. He just stood there stunned and
speechless for a while.
Ste did not want to argue with him about this in front of Elias and Emma, so she just told him, “Calm
down, Roger.”
Then she walked up to her children and asked them, “Have you guys finished your food?”
“Yes, Mommy!”
“In that case, Mommy will take you out to y, okay?”
“Yay!”
Roger watched silently with a raw sting in his heart as Ste walked away.
She was right, he thought. He was nothing more than her brother now, and that was the only way he
could stay by her side–as her family. Even if she really did want to be with Weston again, there was
nothing he could do about it.
