Seeing his opportunity on the verge of disappearing, the man instinctively stood up with her.” Wait up!”
He seemed to have something more to say to her, but Stella ignored him and looked at Weston before
looking down.
She looked in Yvonne’s direction and realized that Lucas was already by her side.
Stella suddenly recalled something and glanced at Lucas, then back at Weston. They must have
arrived here together.
She pursed her lips and walked silently towards Yvonne. “You head home first.”
Yvonne nodded and was about to hold her hand when Lucas grabbed her arm and pulled her back
“What are you doing?” Yvonne asked, taken aback by his actions. “Ella should go back with us
Lucas lifted his chin and gestured in Weston’s direction. “Someone else is here to pick her. What are
you doing, trying to involve yourself in their business?”
Yvonne’s face turned nasty. “What right does he have?! She came here with me!”
“Yvonne, don’t create trouble, please,” Lucas said solemnly. “Is it your position to question her
relationship with Weston?”
“But she isn’t a willing party to this!” Yvonne couldn’t help but exclaim, “I can’t just stand idly by as she
jumps into a pit of fire, can I?”
If she was clueless to the entire situation, she could always turn a blind eye to it. However, now that
things were playing out right before her, how could she simply let Weston take her away?
Yvonne felt terrible.
Lucas felt equally bad, too. Initially, he never cared about such trivial matters, and felt like he had
nothing to do with the private matters of others.
However, Yvonne had been creating a ruckus back home, talking about all the nasty things that Weston
had done. To that end, he had called Weston out to ask him what he wanted with all these
He didn’t expect to meet Yvonne and Stella here, though.
It had to be said, though, that he never had a good impression of Stella in the first place. “No matter
how difficult things are for her, she wanted this herself. Are you in a position to interfere with her
decision?”
His tone had become firm and stern.
Yvonne looked at him in disbelief.
Stella didn’t want the two of thern fighting over her, “That’s it for today,” she interrupted the squabbling
couple. Thank you for bringing me out for a good time. I’ll be off first.”
Yvonne flung Lucas’ hand away and attempted to stop Stella. “No! Since we came here together, I
should be the one sending you back!” Stella shook her head and smiled. “I’ll be fine.”
With that, she glanced at Weston and said, “Since he’s already here to pick me up, I’ll head back with
him.”
“Ella!” The sorrow in Yvonne’s eyes was evident as she instinctively took a step forward. Yet, she felt
her arm being held back by the man behind her. Lucas looked at her disapprovingly.
Stella smiled at her. “I’m really alright.” “Thank you for bringing me out for a good time. I really enjoyed
myself,” she politely continued.
With that, she waved at her and walked towards Weston. She had just arrived in front of Weston when
he suddenly turned around and said, “Follow me "
With that, he left the place. Stella’s eyes glinted as she followed him without the slightest hesitation. It
wasn’t until the both of them were out of sight that Yvonne finally retracted her gaze. Lucas looked at
the wistful look on her face and barked coldly, “Still not done watching the show?”
In response, Yvonne merely glared at him silently. She flung his hand away and stormed off by herself.
He was supposed to be the offended party, asking her for an explanation. Yet now, it seemed he was
the one who had wronged and disappointed her. Lucas didn’t chase after her right away. He simply
followed her quietly, maintaining a fair distance.
The young man cursed under his breath as he watched both ladies leave the scene. “Such rotten luck,
meeting two taken ladies. What a bummer!”
On the road.
Weston said not a word. Stella followed him steadily and offered no explanation either.
