Although it was bitterly cold and snow was falling heavily outside, it was warm and comfortable inside
the car, and her hands shouldn’t have been that cold.
Weston had changed the subject so quickly that Stella could tell he didn’t want to continue arguing
about her driving. She shook her head and said, “My hands have always been this cold.”
His brows furrowed even together.
He remembered that Stella did not have such a condition in the past. A thought came to his mind, and
his face turned downcast.
The air in the car turned colder.
Stella used to hate such an atmosphere.
Yet now, she did not want to reduce the guilt that Weston felt for her, and she looked straight into his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteyes.
She knew that Weston recalled something.
Because of that child, because she stopped at nothing to keep that child who was ruthlessly taken
away from her and ended up as a pool of blood…
She was left with such a condition after that time.
Her limbs were cold throughout the year across all seasons and could never become warm no matter
how much she covered them up.
Weston snapped back after a long while. He held her hands and held them against his cheeks. Stella
felt a warmth in her palms as she heard Weston’s hoarse voice. “I’ll never allow you to be cold, ever
again.” He looked into her eyes and promised, “As long as you wish, I’ll always be here with you. You
can be warm with me.”
Stella remained silent as she looked away.
She wanted nothing more than to tell him that he was cold himself, and the chill was in his blood.
No matter how warm his palms were, however, they could never warm her up.
“Why did you suddenly think of coming to the office to pick me up?” Weston lifted his hands and tucked
her hair behind her ears.
The last time Stella came to fetch him, things ended acrimoniously between them, and they almost got
into a huge fight.
The trigger was that Weston didn’t trust Stella’s driving skills and thought that her driving by
herself would be dangerous for her.
He thought that was reason enough to stop Stella from driving and fetching him home, but he didn’t
expect her to drive her despite the snow and slippery roads. Weston wanted to interrogate her, but the
sight of her safe and sound before him made him give up pursuing the matter. Stella sighed. “For no
reason whatsoever. I just wanted to leave the house. If you don’t like it, I won’t come next time…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWeston choked on her words and reached his hand out in mock frustration to pinch her nose.“ Are you
deliberately trying to anger me?”
He did not wish to see Stella leave the house on such a cold day, but he wasn’t happy hearing her say
that she wouldn’t pick him up next time.
They had their whole lives stretched out before them. Stella’s driving skills couldn’t possibly be that
poor, could they? Stella pushed his hand away. “Are you going to keep treating me like an amateur
driver?” Weston remained silent as he looked at her with a half-smile. Although he didn’t respond, his
silence was sufficient.

Anger rose in Stella’s heart. “I can’t be bothered with you.” There was an observable difference in her
attitude now compared to the past -she dared to get upset with Weston and did not bother hiding her
true feelings when she was angry. She no longer feared that he would get angry or displeased. Weston
turned her face around and kissed the tip of her nose with a smile. “It’s the truth.” “Go on. I’ll just ignore
you.”
Weston lowered his head and remained silent. He grabbed her hands and gently rubbed her knuckles.
“I guess it’s good that you’re being slightly defiant.”
