Chapter 153
They were now fighting in public, for their kid, without the slightest care for each other’s reputation.
Thanks to them, the restaurant was about to turn upside down. Stella hadn’t thought that such things
would happen. She glanced at Weston, who had stayed calm during the whole incident, and wondered
how he could maintain such composure. He had it all planned out from the start. No matter what they
did, they were still under his power, and no matter what she did, she . could not escape his hold.
Realizing this, Stella felt like she was nothing but a joke.
Behind her, Tina and Justin were still arguing.
She let go of Justin’s hand and walked in front of Weston.
As they locked gazes, she couldn’t see an ounce of shame in his eyes. She kneeled gently, raised both

Weston raised his eyebrows without saying a word. Then, he heard her add, “I’ll give you anything you
want. Just give Bryce back to them.”
After taking one final drag, Weston knew it was time to stop.
He looked down at her desperate and submissive look and commanded, “Come here and kiss
me.”
She stared at him blankly, then raised her head and kissed him on the chin. The tiny gesture was enough
to make the two people fighting at the side stop and stare at her in disbelief.
Justin clenched his fists, and his fingernails dug deep into his palms.
“Ella
»
He lowered his voice and called out her name, but it was the only thing that came out of his
lips.
Weston took advantage of her initiative, narrowing his gaze slightly and placing his long fingers on her
neck. He pulled it back before dropping his head to plant a kiss on her forehead. “Good girl,” he said.
He took her hand in his and drew her into his lap, and holding her chin, he continued, “It would be so
much better if you were this good earlier on.”
Stella’s eyes were devoid of life.
After a pause, she merely nodded.
“I understand.”
She looked into his eyes, and immediately he understood what she meant and gestured to the waiter.
“Security had called in earlier and said that since the child was without his parents, they put him there to
avoid any mishap. Since his parents are here, kindly follow me to fetch him.” Everyone there knew the
actual truth behind the whole thing.
Tina looked at the man beside her and then glanced in Stella’s direction. She said nothing, suppressed
her doubts, and followed the waiter to pick up her son.
Justin was going to leave to meet Bryce, but he paused and gave Stella a long look.
“Ella…”
Before he could finish his words, Weston kicked the door shut.
Inside the room, there were only the two of them.
Weston gazed at the woman in his arms, and his eyebrows slowly relaxed.
He recklessly kissed the corner of her mouth.
“Are you still running away?”
