Chapter 136

Stella had nearly forgotten he existed since he hadn’t appeared in a few days. But every time he
appeared, she felt bone-chilling anxiety and helplessness clinging to her. Without thinking twice, she
hung up the phone. Yet before she could calm down, her phone rang once again. It was still the same
familiar number.

It seemed as though he wouldn’t stop calling her as long as she didn’t respond.

She knew it wasn’t the solution, but she blocked his phone for a moment of serenity. She then left the
training center without giving it any attention. Yvonne hadn’t been to work in a while, and it seemed that
something had occurred at home.

Stella didn’t talk much to the others since some of them didn’t like her.

She walked straight into the elevator and walked toward the parking lot.

A familiar car drove near her and honked.

She took a closer look and found that it was Justin’s car, then her eyes flickered for a moment. She
couldn’t help but hesitate as she remembered Weston’s phone call earlier. Justin stopped beside her
and wound down the window. When he saw that she stood frozen in place, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
She shook her head, but her face was stoic. After some time, she revealed the truth to him.” Weston
called me.” When he heard this, Justin’s face sank. “Get in the car,” he urged firmly, his fingertips softly
tapping on the driving wheel. “Hold on.” He stopped her after remembering something. He stepped out
of the car and went beside her, opening the passenger door for her. Stella got into the car, bending
slightly. Justin’s hand was on her head, keeping her from bumping into the car roof. Once she was
seated, he shut the door and walked to the driver’s seat. He turned to help her buckle up when he was
inside the vehicle.



Seeing that the hair beside her cheek was a little messy, he reached out to help her put it behind her
ear and softly squeezed her face, saying, “Don’t be scared. I’m here.”



Stella nodded and let out a sigh.

When he saw she was still nervous, he burst out laughing and added, “If you’re still worried about it, I’ll
take you to get our marriage certificate tomorrow. I don’t think he’ll bother you anymore if we show him
the certificate.”

She had the same idea, but she was afraid that if they truly did it, it would drive Weston insane, which
would only cause Justin problems. He suddenly held her face in his hands and forced her to stare into
his eyes, as if he knew what she was thinking. “Believe me,I’m not going to let it happen. You’d be my
legal wife as long as we are married. I’m not going to allow any man to hurt you; not even Weston.”

Justin had always been reserved and mature. Stella had no doubts about his honesty when he stated
this.

She wasn’t sure if it was because of his age, but Justin made her feel safe and secure.

“I wanted to take you for a ride tonight, but. Bryce is on his school holiday now, and I promised him I’d
pick him up from school. Shall we have dinner together later?” he said, returning to his position. Bryce
was his son from his previous marriage. Stella was stunned. “I’m meeting him so soon?” She was a
little nervous and taken aback by this. “I’m not ready yet…”

“You don’t have to get ready for anything. Just be yourself, and he’ll like you.” Justin softly stroked her
hand. “Don’t be afraid. Bryce is a mature teen who is easy to get along with. You two will get along
well.” “Really?” She gave him a tight-lipped grin, unable to express how she felt on the inside.



Justin assumed she was just nervous, so he didn’t say anything and drove away. As the two of them
were driving slowly, they didn’t realize that a black car was following them.
