Chapter 1244
Stella was stunned. She did not expect Roger to hurt her.
She froze in place, unable to react even when she saw Weston suddenly appear out of the blue and hit Roger.
Weston continuously socked Roger in full fury. He turned his head when he heard the familiar voice calling him and saw Stella's
frightened look. Then, he stopped beating Roger.
Weston gave the man on the ground a cold glare. "If you don't want to die, get lost now."
Roger stumbled to his feet. He was clearly bruised on the corner of his mouth. There were some minor wounds on his face too.
Weston was not messing around when he beat Roger. The onslaught left Roger with a few missing teeth, that now laid bloodied on
his palm.
"You got here quick...”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWeston was in no mood to hear a word from Roger. As soon as he spoke, he felt an inexplicable anger and wanted to punch him
again.
Stella was that afraid that the scene would be out of control. She took a deep breath and told Roger, "You should
head back first..."
Roger hesitated a little and gazed at her with trembling eyes. He felt a little depressed, seeing Stella take Weston's
side.
After a long time, he whispered an apology and turned to leave.
When Roger was gone, Weston walked to Stella and grabbed her by the shoulder. He looked her up and down,
making sure she was fine.
“Are you okay?"
Feeling a little weak, Stella frowned in annoyance and pushed his hand away.
"I'm fine." Stella leaned back against the entrance and sat down slowly. She sat on the floor and gazed into space
blankly.
Weston could not stand Stella behaving like this. He pulled her to her feet. "He's gone."
Stella shook him off suddenly. “I know. Thanks."
She looked him in the eye. "Will you leave me alone?" She was trying to make him leave.
Weston remained silent. He continued looking at her and sat before her without saying anything.
Stella frowned and shifted her gaze away. She did not want to talk to him.
Weston seemed unbothered and accompanied her in silence. He sat there the whole time until Stella got a little
annoyed and looked at him.
"It's late. Aren't you going to leave?"
"What if he suddenly comes back?" Weston asked.

"Remember what he just did to you? Do you think he won't do anything after all that?"
Stella was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what to say. After a long silence, she said in exhaustion, “I don't want you to
see me like this..."
It was too embarrassing.
Weston sighed. “You don't always have to be so tough in front of me."
He promised, "I won't laugh at you."
"I'm not afraid of that. It's just..." Stella rubbed her brows hard and fell silent. The two looked at each other without saying anything.
There was a dead silence between the two of them. No one spoke first.
After that, Stella looked at the time. She was glad that the commotion did not wake Elias and Emma up. Otherwise, she would have
to coax them again.
Weston noticed her action and asked, "Can I see them?"
"They're asleep."
