Chapter 138
Stella glanced at Justin’s face and blocked the number without thinking. She didn’t want Weston to
disturb her life anymore.
Weston was not a patient guy. Stella could tell since he stopped sending her text messages. As their car
arrived in front of the school gate, she took a glance at her dark screen before shifting her gaze away.
Justin helped her out of the car by opening the car door and unbuckling her seat belt. He purposefully
placed his arms over her shoulders, closing the gap between them. Stella initially wanted to dodge, but
after giving it some thought, she gave up and stood stiffly alongside him.

She felt there was no need to be pompous since they had already discussed getting married in the
future. Hence, immediately adapting herself to the position of a wife would be beneficial for them.
There were so many loveless married couples in the world. Stella believed she and Justin could do the
same and still respect one another.
A great man like Justin could easily find a stepmother for his son.
But for Stella, finding a man who could go head-on against Weston wasn’t easy.
Regardless, the two of them needed each other for their own benefit. Justin, on the other hand, would
compromise a bit for her.
Hence, she wouldn’t be coy about these little things, which could upset him. When Justin wrapped his
arms around her, he felt her tense up for a second before she immediately relaxed. He could tell she was
pushing herself, but she was doing her best to match with him. Seeing her acting tough made his heart
ache.
The first time he met her, he noticed that she had a unique aura.
She would clearly distinguish herself from others. She would remember how much others had given her.
She wasn’t a sweet talker and might be a bit pessimistic at times, but as long as she found an
opportunity, she would repay all the favors she had previously owed. Stella was like a helpless woman
drowning in the mud, yet she never gave up. She didn’t seem to realize how appealing her twisted nature

Bryce was in his teens and was in middle school.
Stella felt nervous since boys at this age were already quite mature.
After the bell rang, a bunch of students in uniforms rushed outside. Stella suggested to Justin when they
were on the road, “You could send him to a private school.
Justin’s response was, “This school is closer to my workplace. I rarely have time to care for him, but
since the school is so close, I feel like I’m at least with him. Plus, he couldn’t stand being that far away
from me. He attended elementary school here and made many friends. I planned to transfer him to a
better high school, but he wanted to remain here, and his grades are fairly excellent, so I didn’t.”
Stella smiled at him. “You respect your son’s choice.”
Justin was stunned for a while because no one had ever said that about him.
