Chapter 157

She thought he would’ve sold the mansion, but who would’ve knew it would still be there.

From the outside, it looked excatly as it did when they were still married.

Even the flowers she had trimmed in the front yard were still in the same shape.

Back then, Stella wanted to be the perfect wife and mother and take good care of the house.

Even though the floweres were the gardener’s responsibility, she wanted to give it a try. When she left,
she never thought that she would be coming back, ever again.

After getting off the car, Weston had been observing her every expression.

As she stepped inside, he saw her stunned face become emotionless, and he trailed her with a
somewhat reserved behavior. “Since Stardust Mansion is located between Ahn City and Fern City,
traveling to both places won’t be a problem. You’ll live here, and I’ll take care of the rest.”

This left her in a dilemma.

After a moment she asked, “What about Roger? I’ve been living with him, and now, you want me to
move out. What am I supposed to tell him?”

“That’s not my problem.” He stopped and gripped her waist with one hand, whispering, “My only
request is that you live here so I may see you whenever I want. You deal with your brother and Yvonne
on your own, or…”

He paused a moment and kissed her earlobe. “You can tell Roger the truth and he can come live with
us.”



“You jerk!” Stella yelled while shoving him away.



Now, she wouldn’t dare to think how Roger would react if he found out what Weston did to her. Justin
was already furious, let alone Roger, her brother. She shut her eyes and took a deep breath before
saying, “I can never tell Roger about us. “After all, I am your sneaky link. You wouldn’t want people to
find out about us, would you?” She stared at Weston, seemingly aware of her current status.

This was common understanding among them.

Weston didn’t say a word, but his expression flickered.

After a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand and pushed her hair behind her ear, then cupped
her cheeks in his palms.

He was often under the impression that she was so fragile that she would shatter with a single touch
His hand was already on her neck, applying gentle pressure.

But it was the most he could muster-because he didn’t have the heart to use more force.

He shifted his gaze away, seemingly understanding what she meant.

“Stella, I like smart girls, but I like it better when you listen to me.”

The interior of the mansion hadn’t changed one bit,

When Stella opened the door, she saw the handcrafted yarn balls she had crocheted on the porch,
silently sitting there as though mocking her She had tried so hard to forget about that foolish marriage
and her foolish past, but every corner she turned held her trace



Every little detail in this house reminded her of how much she used to love the man standing before
her

Although he had never cared for her, she loved him, The wind chimes hanging at the entrance, the
woolen dolls made in a pair, and even the shoes in the cabinet were all made into couple pairs by her
she couldn’t help but think of how stupid she used to be
