Chapter 1432


    Chapter 1432


    Ste’s words rendered Weston speechless.


    She was right. He had been the one to agree to let Ste date other people, so he must seem like a fool


    saying all those things to her.


    He withdrew his hands and forced himself to calm down a little.


    “I have no intention to stand in your way,” he told Ste. “I was only worried about Elias and Emma.


    Since they’re also here, I think you need to take their feelings into consideration.”


    The children could sense the strained atmosphere between the adults, so they just waited patiently on


    the couch with Roger, asionally poking their heads out to look at their parents.


    Seeing his kids like that, Weston slowly added, “I’m only here to see the kids, so both of you can go


    ahead with your date.”


    Ste said nothing and just took Hayden’s hand and left.


    When they got downstairs, Hayden nced at her and asked, “Are you sure you want to just leave him


    like that?”


    “I don’t know,” Ste massaged the point between her brows. “I’m not sure what I want to do anymore.”


    She got angry when she heard Weston say all those things just now, but then again, she had no intention


    of just leaving the issues between them as it was, much lesspletely kicking Weston out of her life.


    Meanwhile, upstairs, Weston watched as Ste and Hayden disappeared into the distance. He finally


    looked away, and there were no discernible signs of agitation in his expressions at all. Still, Roger could


    tell at a nce that he was only concealing it.


    He jeered, “It’s unbearable, isn’t it? Doesn’t it hurt so much that you think you’re gonna die? And yet you


    can’t say a single word about it.”


    That was exactly what Roger went through in the past.


    Weston said nothing. He just sat down in front of Elias and Emma and stroked their heads, telling them,


    “Daddy will take you out today, okay?”


    These days, although he avoided appearing in front of Ste, he had started to spend much more time


    with Elias and Emma.


    It was as if he wanted to make up for all his past mistakes with his children. He


    would take them out to small andrge parties, trying his best to let the whole of Ahn City know that


    these children were his while providing them with everything they wanted or needed, all on a silver


    tter.


    Naturally, Ste realized this too, but she said nothing against it because, as the children’s father, it was


    within his rights and his freedom to do all that. Besides, this could only benefit Elias and Emma. Like all


    parents, she wished for nothing more than to give her children ess to better resources and


    opportunities. Hence, she ultimately never stopped Weston from doing everything for them.


    Apart from that, her rtionship with Dr. Hayden Quirk had also been steadily developing as well.


    As a psychiatrist, Hayden had always been an emotionally stable man. He was also considerate and


    attentive. Having been through a few rtionships, he had always treated women with respect and


    warmth. All this made Ste feelfortable and at ease whenever she was with him.


    On the other hand, when she was with Weston, her mood would always fluctuate, from sometimes being


    furious to incessant impatience and annoyance, unlike the peaceful and calm feeling she experienced


    with Hayden.


    Perhaps this was why she found it hard to give Hayden a clear answer when he asked if she wanted to


    try taking their rtionship to the next level, even though she did intend to agree with him.

    She stared at the face in front of her and discovered that she found it hard to imagine what her life would


    look like if she really was in a rtionship with Dr. Hayden Quirk.


    Seeing that Ste had been hesitating for a few seconds, he smiled empathetically and said, “Perhaps


    I’ve been a little too hasty. This is an important decision for you. I should’ve given you some time to think


    about it.”


    He was giving her a graceful exit, yet this only made it harder for her to find the right words to say.


    He was simply too nice, too much of a gentleman, and too kind and gentle to her that she had no idea


    what to do now.


    Hayden stroked her head and said, “There’s going to be a private concert held by the club soon, and


    there will be many music lovers there. I can help you get some tickets if you’re interested, and we can go


    together.”


    Ste was surprised by his thoughtfulness. She did not expect him to understand her


    so well.


    “Okay,” she nodded and agreed after thinking about it for a moment.


    Since she had decided to get out there and date other men, she should act like it and be more open to


    new experiences.


    During this period, Weston began toe over to her ce and see her more often now. Although he


    had been deliberately ignoring the rtionship between Ste and Hayden, he still could not avoid


    seeing Hayden driving her home regrly.


    He had been forcing himself to focus solely on his children, but he still could not stop himself from talking


    to Ste when he saw her getting all dolled up in a fancy dress in the middle of the night, preparing to go


    out with Hayden.


    “Will you being home tonight?” he asked.


    Ste nced at him and replied, “If it ends toote, then I’ll probably be staying elsewhere. You can go


    home once Elias and Emma are asleep, by the way.”
