Chapter 1367
Yvonne recently realized Lucas’s possessiveness over her. It had been getting worse lately, and she felt suffocated.
She used to enjoy Lucas‘ treatment and thought it was a sign of his love for her, but there was a limit to everything. She felt that Lucas had exceeded that limit and was a bit sick.
Lucas’s eyes changed at Yvonne’s serious response. He withdrew his hand in slight irritation and remained silent. Then, he finished the glass of wine in his hand and placed it on the tray beside him. “I’m leaving. You better come over soon.”
Yvonne let out a helpless sigh and had no choice but to turn to Weston. “Then please take care of her.”
Stella hugged her arms and would not let her go. “Why push me to Weston? Can you trust a man like him?”
Weston was speechless at how Stella did not seem to mind badmouthing him directly at his face.
Yvonne felt a little helpless. “What should I do? My husband seems angry. I have to coax him.”
“No! You can’t put him before our friendship.”
Yvonne raised her eyebrows at what Stella had just said. “She seems really drunk.”
Then, she patted Stella’s shoulder and urged, “Okay, come on. If I don’t go over, Lucas will eat me up.‘
Yvonne saw Angelina coming from afar as if a savior. “I’ll leave Stella in your care!”
Before Angelina could even react, Yvonne had already pushed Stella to her. Seeing that Yvonne had left in a hurry, Angelina hurriedly helped Stella and looked at Yvonne with a helpless look.
The next moment, a force pulled Stella over.
Weston gave her an indifferent look. “Let me.”
Angelina was too thin and could barely support the weight of a drunk, so she let Weston hold Stella. “Wait. I’ll get someone over here.”
Angelina stared at Weston as if afraid of what he might do to Stella. However, Weston behaved like a gentleman and held Stella without further action.
Henry came up behind Angelina and asked her if she needed any help.
Angelina did not lose her temper with him this round and told him, “Shall we send Stella back?”
“He’s here. What are we doing with Stella?”
Henry glanced at Weston and seemed to be puzzled at Angelina’s action. Why was she obstructing them?
Angelina glared at him. “Don’t you know? Stella doesn’t want to stay with him!”
“Is that so? I saw her relaxing with Weston earlier. Emma and Elias seemed quite comfortable with him.”
Angelina’s gaze flickered.
What Henry said was true, but Angelina could not just hand Stella over to Weston just yet. She said to Henry, “No. She’s drunk. I’m taking her.”
“Why don’t you ask her? Who does she want to go with?” Henry suggested.
Angelina turned to Stella and asked, “You’re drunk. Shall I take you to your room?”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m not drunk.” Stella stood up straight. She stared at Angelina for a moment and suddenly hugged her. “I’m a good drinker!”
Angelina was rendered speechless. She thought, ‘Do drunk people like to tell such lies?”
She patted the back of Stella’s hand. “Okay, you’re not drunk, but it’s late now. Let’s go back and rest, okay?”
Stella shook her head. “No. We have to continue eating. Don’t we have to cut the cake? There’s still a performance tonight. I’ll play a piano piece for everyone!”
Angelina couldn’t help but laugh. “How can you play the piano with the condition you’re in? You might just end up throwing up on Mr. Ford.”
