Chapter 1378

Stella got up, turned away from him, and walked out of the cage.

“Take off the rest yourself,” she said. “I’ll wait for you here.”

But to her surprise, the next moment, she heard him shut the cage door. She turned around and saw Weston already locking himself up inside again.

He then slumped down onto the floor powerlessly before covering his eyes with his hands, refusing to even look at her.

“What are you doing?” she asked, frowning as she walked up to him.

“You should leave now,” he told her. “Forget about me.”

His voice was gruff and croaky as if he was exerting great self–control in every word he spoke. His Adam’s apple moved as he swallowed his saliva.

“Leave while I still have some self–control left,” he added raspily.
