While she was feeling a little depressed, her phone rang.
It was a foreign number.
Stella had a strange feeling and glanced at Weston, who was in the bathroom. After that, she got up and
walked to the side. She answered the phone.
“Hello?”
As soon as she spoke , Roger‘s anxious voice came from the other end.
“I saw the broadcast of your wedding! That b*stard forced you to marry him! “Sis, I know you never
wanted to marry him, right? Why didn‘t you tell me that you planned to escape?”
Stella could hear the sound of the sea breeze from the other end. Instead of answering his question, she
asked him, “Where are you now?”.
Roger calmed down a little and looked around. “I don‘t know. I think I’m on foreign waters ... Weston has
been sending people after me. I escaped, and someone saved me.”
“What?!”
Stella got anxious and panicked. “You don‘t even know where you are? Who saved you? Are you safe
with them? You‘re not in any danger, are you?”
“I‘m fine,” Roger interrupted her and looked at the man in the uniform sitting on the couch.
“I think he‘s some commander of a small country. Everyone calls him Captain. He seems to be a high
ranking
“He saved me. He doesn‘t seem hostile to me. He also speaks our language.”
When the middle–aged man heard Roger mention him, he put down the newspaper in his hand and
looked at him. He had no intention of eavesdropping, so he got up and left the room.
He seemed like a well–educated gentleman.
Though they were strangers, Roger trusted him for some reason.
Stella was not as optimistic as him. “What do you know about him? What if he‘s a liar? What if he has
something else in mind for you?”
It was a messy and dangerous place. Everyone was looking for money, and that man could simply be
looking to harvest Roger‘s organs.
“Where are you now? I‘ll send someone to find you.
“You can come right away.
“I‘ll take you away!” Roger murmured.
There was an urgency in his tone. “I‘ve seen everything! You don‘t want to marry Weston at all! I know!”
“Sis... I‘ll take care of you forever... I promise...”
Before he could say anything, someone suddenly took the phone away from Stella‘s hand.
Stella had no idea when Weston stood behind her. He grabbed her phone and saw a foreign number on
the screen. Then, he snorted.
“Well, that didn‘t take much effort. He called instead.”
Roger froze a little when he heard Weston‘s voice. After that, he said coldly, “Weston, if you‘re a man, let
her go. What‘s the point of forcing her into this?”
“Did I force her?” Weston sounded like he heard something funny. He turned on the speakerphone and
put it close to Stella‘s mouth.
“Tell him. Did I force you or anything?”
Stella‘s eyes flickered, but she heeded Weston‘s order obediently. She told Roger, “I ran away because...
I didn‘t think it through. I‘ve figured it out now. Weston and I are married. From now on, I‘m Mrs. Ford...”
“Don‘t you say such a thing!”
Roger interrupted her in annoyance. “I know he must have threatened you again! What excuse did he
use this time? Glory and fortune? Or death?”
Weston snickered. It sounded like he was mocking Roger‘s naive thinking.
