Ch. 1001..1010
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1001 Weston glanced at it and wasn‘t very interested. “If you are thirsty, you can ask the kitchen to bring you something.” Stella shook her head. “Don‘t bother them. I can just make something myself. Do you want some?”
She looked into his eyes and tried to look as calm as she could.
He gazed deeply into her eyes and saw a little anticipation in them.
He kissed the corner of her mouth. “Okay. You made it. Of course I‘ll drink it.”
One last step to go, she thought. Weston was waiting for her in the living room.
Even though it was just a short distance from the living room to the kitchen, he had to keep an eye on her, to keep her within his sight.
She let out a breath and added all those oleanders.
This amount was enough to kill a grown man.
After drinking it, they would do many things.
She thought, maybe she could give him a night today and
stall for time. By the time he realized something wasn‘t right, it would be too late to perform the gastric lavage procedure. Her mind was so calm that even she felt that she was unusually ruthless. It was such a horrifying thought, yet she did not have the slightest hesitation.
But only she knew that her hands were shaking.
“…is it done?”
Seeing Stella coming over with the cup of tea, he took her hand and made her sit beside him in his arms.
She replied, “Drink it while it‘s hot.”
She looked into his eyes, and her heart suddenly started beating violently.
As long as he drank it…
As long as he drank it, it would be all over.
The pain would dissipate, the tangles would come undone, and the confusion would become clear.
The resentment would also end…
She watched as he lifted the cup of tea and put it to his
lips.
The voice of the dark figure in her head kept exhorting her
“This is it. Watch him drink it!”
“Watch him die!”
“Soon, your suffering will be over…” Stella‘s entire body was trembling. Something in her heart was screaming hysterically.
If her emotions could materialize , her eyes should have filled with blood by now.
It was only when she smelled the strong odor of antiseptic solution coming from the side of the man‘s waist that she closed her eyes, trying hard to suppress her surging emotion.
But what appeared before her eyes was the scene when he stood in front of her without hesitation when she was almost disfigured by the acid
He really did not hesitate.
Without any hesitation, he instinctively stood in front of her and protected her entirely.
The man who protected her at all costs and the man who abandoned her without hesitation in front of kidnappers seemed to overlap.
She felt like she was about to split.
One was his good side, and one was his bad…
He forced her to stay with him against her will, keeping her like a pet.
But now, when she was in danger, he protected her without hesitation.
He brought her great pain but also gave her great joy.
He brought her to heaven, only to trampled her down to hell…
“Weston!”
She opened her eyes suddenly. “Don‘t drink it!”
She said, “Don‘t…” 1
Her lips were trembling, and she stared into his eye intensely. “Don‘t drink it.”
She snatched the cup out of his hand and put it aside.
As though she was going through a great crisis, she unleashed all her strength.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1002
She had lost.
She came a cropper… She now believed that she couldn‘t just let him die.
In fact, she couldn‘t bear to kill him!
She wanted to ask herself what kind of woman she was. At this point, she still could not kill him…
Weston looked at her with a gaze so deep it seemed he understood everything. “What‘s wrong?”
Stella lowered her head and said dejectedly, “Nothing. I just remembered that this tea should not be drunk before sleeping. It will cause insomnia.”
He did not say anything.
He remembered that she had said earlier that the tea was to help him sleep.
He made her look up at him. “What exactly is it?”
He suddenly saw two drops of crystal–like tears roll out of her eyes, and his heart tightened.
“It is just a cup of tea. If you don‘t want me to drink it, I won‘t. Why are you crying?”
He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her eye.“
Don‘t cry.”
When she cried, he felt helpless.
He didn‘t want to bother her again about her erratic behavior just now.
Her eyelashes fluttered fiercely as he kissed her.
Once again, she was acutely aware of how much of a failure she was when she was with him
She couldn‘t kill him.
At the last minute, she couldn‘t actually do it!
The dark figure in her mind screamed frantically.
“You bitch, how dare you still love him!”
“How could you be so lowly?”
“How would you live up to your dead child?”
“He did this to you! How could you still love him?”
“Stella , can‘t you live without being a bitch? You can‘t even kill him!”
“Were you moved just because he blocked a bottle of acid for you?”
“He has done so much wrong to you. He hurt you so much! Have you forgotten?”
“You‘re really cheap. You forget everything once he gives you candy after the slap…”
Stella was in a state of complete confusion.
The thoughts going back and forth in her head were starting to hurt.
He noticed her strangeness, and his eyes turned dark.“ Are you feeling ill?”
She closed her eyes, unwilling to look or talk to him.
Undoubtedly, he got anxious. “I will call the doctor over to take a look at you…”
She grabbed his hand quickly and shook his head, biting her lower lip. “I am just feeling a little dizzy. I will be fine once I rest…”
He watched her steadily without saying a word.
He was at ease only after seeing her not showing any other symptoms. “If you feel unwell, you must tell me.”
He speculated that she was just frightened.
After all, the man today was crazy. The acid would‘ve splashed on her face if he hadn‘t reacted quickly enough.
It was understandable that she would feel uncomfortable after such a traumatic incident.
He kissed her hair. “Don’t worry. I will definitely give you an explanation.”
She forced a bitter smile as she lay in his arms.
What explanation?
He couldn‘t even tell the truth about his injury, fearing that others would know. This would surely make them blame Guinevere…
He was so protective of her; he was even protecting her subconsciously. How could he let her be blamed?
At that moment, the dark figure in her mind popped out again
“See for yourself! He still refuses to harm Guinevere, even at a time when he should be most obsessed with you. Have you ever thought about what will happen to you when his feelings for you cool down?”
“It will be like the time when were on the rooftop!”
“He will abandon you without hesitation!”
“Stella, you sure are stupid. What an idiot!”
“You are sparing him, but don‘t you remember how he gave up on you, when he had no feelings for you?”
“You‘re such a bitch!”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1003 “Anyway, they both have a child. Don’t forget! He indirectly killed your baby!”
“Guinevere is the one who killed your child! She hired someone tokidnap you! Your child wouldn’t be dead if it weren’t for her!” “Stella, how have you not learned your lesson?” Stop it…
Stop it…
“Why are you afraid to listen?” “Stella, he watched you and your child die, without saving any of you!”
“He’s beenprotective of Guinevere, the one who tried to kill you, but you can’t even hurt him!” “You’re a b*tch! You deserve it!” “Stop it…” Stella was about to kneel to the voice in her head.
She wanted to beg it to stop.
Weston saw Stella shut her eyes tight.
She refused to talk, and she had a pained face.
Weston took her to bed and lay down beside her.
Without saying anything, he held her quietly and lay beside her.
After a long silence, he asked, “Are you hungry? Want something to eat?” Stella shook her head.
“I don’t want to eat anything.” Weston did not force her.
Instead, he placed his hand on her belly and rubbed her slowly, allowing her to feel the warmth of his palm onher skin.
Stella wanted to avoid him, but he held her tighter.
The next moment, she felt something against her waist and stiffened.
Weston’s raspy voice then came from behind her ear.
“I know you’re feeling unwell.
If you don’t want to get into trouble, don’t move around, and don’t rub around.”
“I didn’t…” Stella tried to defend herself inaudibly.
“Then lie down and sleep.” Stella did not dare to say anything else and stopped moving.
After some time, steady breaths could be heard Weston opened his eyes in the dark of the night.
He planted a kiss on her forehead and muttered her name.
“Stella.”
Stella did not answer him.
Weston fixed his gaze at her for a moment, then gingerly got out of the bed.
He went to the living room and saw the flower tea on the coffee table.
When he went over, he saw a few petals floating on the water in the transparent glass.
When he gave it a careful whiff, he could sense smell the fragrance of the flowers.
There were just a few petals on the top, but she might have picked a lot offlowers for the tea.
The fragrance was so powerful that Weston began to feel a little uncomfortable .
He put down the glass as a glint flashed across his eyes.
The next morning, a loud noise rudely awakened Stella.
She looked at her surroundings and noticed no one was around.
While still blur with sleep, she heard a loud and violent argument from downstairs .
She looked at the time and found that it was still very early.
After washing up, she wanted to go downstairs to see what was going on.
When she noticed the glass of flower tea, her gaze darkened.
As she recalled her weakness last night, she began to loathe herself deeply.
Then, she went over and poured the tea out of the glass.
After that, she heard the heated argument from downstairs grow louder, so she hurriedly opened the door and went out.
Meanwhile, in the living room downstairs, Wendy hugged Zachary and glared at Guinevere with cold eyes full of grudge.
“Everyone saw what happened yesterday! Your fans are so crazy, who knows where they’ll come out of next?!”
“Zack is still a kid! He might get hurt byyour fans!” Wendy no longer trusted
Guinevere because of what happened yesterday, believing she wasn’t worthy of taking care of Zachary, despite her being his birth mother.
Guinevere was unwilling to accept her fate.
Even though she was reluctant to care for Zachary, he was the only excuse she could use to get closerto Weston.
If they made her stay away from Zachary because of what happened yesterday, how wasshe ever coming to Ford Mansion again? How could she get closer to Weston? Guinevere said.
“It won’t happen again. Besides, it didn’t cause any serious consequences.” “That’s because Weston reacted fast! You have tons of crazy fans, don’t you? What if theysuddenly go after Zack one day?” “How’s that possible?! Zack is my son.
My fans would only hurt Stella, not Zack!” Guinevere tried to defend herself and became a little tongue-tied.
“If he could hurt Stella, who knows who else he’d hurt?” Wendy scoffed in annoyance .
“People who harbor such thoughts must be completely abnormal.
They might even be psychopaths! I think Zack isn’t safe with you!” ‘So, they were fighting about this…’ Stella thought.
She was unsure whether to go down or not.
Weston was the first to notice her.
He went to her with a steady pace.
“Why are you awake so early?” They hadn’t done anything substantial last night, but there were certain things they still couldn’t avoid doing.
Weston held her hand and asked, “Do you feel sore?”
Stella blushed a little.
She withdrew her hand and asked him, “Should I go down or not?” Not knowing how to reactto such a situation, she had to ask Weston.
Weston smiled at the prompt change of subject.
“It doesn’t matter. If you don’t want to see her, you can go back and rest for a while. I’ll have someone bring you food.” Stella shook her head, knowing it would make her lookstrange.
“No need for that…” She then looked at Weston’s side, near his stomach.
“Is your wound better?” “It’s fine.” After that, the two took to their seats at the dining table.
Guinevere had been giving Stella an intense stare from the moment she appeared.
However, when Stella sat in front of her, she immediately withdrew her gaze, not wanting to show too much concern.
Warren woke up a little later.
When he arrived , the table was already full.
The guests who stayed behind in Ford Mansion yesterday had already been seated.
Warren soon noticed that Guinevere and Wendy seemed to be at odds.
“What’s happening so early in the morning? What’s going on?” Guinevere hurriedly told Warren, as ifcomplaining, “ Grandpa, I know I’m partly responsible for what happened yesterday, but I’m Zack’s real mother.
How could I not want my child to be well?”
Warren could not help but find women aroyal pain in the *ss.
They would keep going on about the same thing, going around in circles in a never- ending fashion.
Warren looked at Wendy.
“It’s no big deal. If she wants to take care of Zachary, just let her do it.”
Wendy opened her mouth, but she wasunable to say anything.
She glanced at Stella as if hoping she would speak up for her.
“Anyway, I know my kid well enough not to feed him junk …” Guinevere suddenly chimed in, deliberately bringing up the incident where Stella gave Zachary a macaron.
Listening to all that fighting gave Warren a headache.” Enough! If you want to care for him, just do it.
It’s no big deal. Stop whining about it!” “Thanks, Grandpa…” Someone at the table whispered, “No matter what, the real mother will always be better…”
“Of course!How could a mother not love her own child?” “Warren must have understood…” Undoubtedly, many shared the same thoughts, but none would say it bluntly.
Whether one wanted to admit it or not, Stella was the real Mrs.Ford, and with Zachary still so young, he would have to refer to her as Mom someday.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1004 This was inevitable. Most of them wanted to stay neutral and not offend anyof them. Guinevere carried Zachary with her and gave Stella a look of triumph.
Stella pretended not to see her provocation and just kept her head down.
She focused on eating her breakfast.
Meanwhile, throughout the duration of the meal, Warren kept shooting glances at
Weston as if wanting to make sure he had not beeninjured yesterday.
Weston merely looked as he always did.
The group finished their breakfast with a myriad thoughts running through their mind.
The first day of the event was over, but the next few days would see the main events happen.
Everyone came to celebrate Warren’s birthday, but Warren knew all too well that when so many famousand influential people were gathered, it was impossible that an exchange of interest wouldn’t happen.
The friends and relatives who could not make it yesterday finally arrived today.
Warren’s banquet would go on for three days.
There were still a lot of things to do after this.
Weston noticed that Stella seemed more depressed than yesterday.
After breakfast, he took her back to her room.
Everyone, seemingly accustomed to his constant favoritism towards Stella, said nothing.
After that, at the dining table, Xavier took Daisy with him.
When he saw Guinevere silently looking in the direction Weston had left, he said, “I haven’t been with my little nephew for a long time.
Let me hold him.” It was then that Guinevere returned to her senses and replied to him with a smile.
“Okay.”
Daisy looked over as well.
“Is this Zack?” A barrage of mixed emotions clouded her eyes.
This was Weston’s son, who shared the same blood with him.
Daisy could not explain her emotions.
It just felt strange.
When Xavier let Daisy hold Zachary, she cradled him and used ginger touches, as if holding some fragile treasure.
After a long silence , she exclaimed , “He looks so much like Mr.Ford…”
“He resembles his grandfather more,” Wendy interrupted.
Hearing that, Daisy glanced at Chris and glanced at Zachary again, exclaiming, “They’re indeed alike.
Zachary looks just like him!” Chris wiped his mouth with an incomprehensible expression on his face.
“I’m done. I’m busy, and I have a lot of things to do, so I’ll be going. You guys should continue without me.” Daisy watched as Chris walked away, and she fell into deep thought.
Somehow, she felt that Chris seemed a little upset, like he was trying to avoid something.
Guinevere’s expression also became a little unnatural.” I’ll take Zack out for a walk,” she chirped casually.
Stella and Weston returned to their room on the third floor.
As soon as Stella sat down, Weston followed and continued where they had left off.
“Why don’t you get some more sleep?” “Weren’t you up early too?” Stella asked in reply.
“I’ve always slept less than you.” Weston reached out to straighten the folds of her collar.” Not used to sleeping here?”
Normally, Stella wouldn’t be up so early athome.
“I’m fine.” Seeing that Weston had no intention of leaving, she reminded him, “Do you have something to do later?”
“I’m going to meet some uncles thatreturned from abroad.” “I’ll be fine here by myself.” Weston still showed no sign of leaving but instead looked longingly into her eyes.
“I’ll take you with me once you’ve rested up.” –
Stella was slightly startled.
When she recalled his attitude last night, she slowly realized something.
Perhaps she would not be able to leave his side from now on.
No matter where he went, she would have to follow him.
This sudden realization made her feel a little suffocated.” I’ll be fine here alone…
I’m not a kid anymore.” “You’re no different from a kid to me,” Weston said.
“If I don’t take you with me, you might be in danger again.
Who’ll protect you, then?”
“Aren’t you exaggerating?”
Stella frowned.
“What happened yesterday is over…”
“Alright. You don’t need to tell me how to do things.” Weston cut her off stiffly and turned cold.
“I’m telling you to stay with me, so do as I say and don’t say anything else.” Stella took a deep breathand tried to suppress her anger.
Her emotions had been in turmoil since yesterday.
She could not bear to kill him last night, but her desire to kill him was comingback.
She closed her eyes and remembered that she could have been freed last night.
She was soft-hearted, which led to her having to endure Weston’s dominance again.
The black fog in her mind took on a human form again.
It laughed at her sarcastically.
“You deserve it! You asked for it!” Weston noticed her strange look.
“If you don’t feel well, I’ll stay in the room with you all day…”
“No need!”
Stella grabbedhis wrist and shook her head.
“I’m done resting.
Let’s go out.” She managed a smile at him, but it was very forced.
Her mind was in a mess right now.
She did not know what to do.
Whenever she thought of killing him, the scene when he saved her from the acid yesterday couldn’t help but play in her mind.
However, whenever her heart softened, she would remember the time he chose Guinevere without hesitation and abandoned her on the roof.
Last night, she dreamed of her dead baby again.
This time, her child morphed into a pool of blood that flowed out from under her.
The bloody stench lingered around her, as if her child was questioning why she did not do anything.
Why didn’t she just end everything? Weston did as he said, practically dragging Stella around with him, even for the smallest of matters.
She had become more of his personal companion than his wife.
Weston introduced Stella to everyone.
Nobody sensed anything wrong.
They had just been married for a short time, and everyone knew of their relationship.
Hence, it was only normal that Weston introduced Stella to his business partners.
However, soon, some noticed Weston would even follow Stella to the bathroom.
This was a little over the top.
“They’re probably still in their honeymoon period.
These newlyweds are so sweet!” A wealthy businesswoman frowned and scoffed, saying,” They won’t be like this in a few years.”
“Weren’t theymarried once? Sure, their marriage that day was just a remarriage, but they still appear so loving to each other…” When someone said day, some got curious.
All things considered , Weston’s first marriage to Stella was held secretly, and no one knew they were married , thinking he had been with Guinevereall along.
People had never seen any woman around Weston apart from Guinevere.
Stella’s existence had only come to light during the engagement party.
Some were shocked by Weston’s obsession with a woman from a mediocre family.
He was already divorced from her, yet he went out of his way, using all kinds of methods to give her a new identity andkeep her.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1005“I wonder what sorcery Stella uses…” “Who knows? Maybe she has some mystical charm…”
The guests joked around,laughing happily.
Guinevere overheard them, and her face twisted in displeasure.
She had no choice but to brace herself and be shameless enough to stay here.
Indeed, her parents’ presence was more than enough, but she didn’t want to let go ofthe opportunity to see Weston.
Hence, against all odds, she decided to come along.
Though Guinevere knew the guests were only polite and respectful in front of her while laughing behind her back, she didn’t care one bit.
These tribulations were nothing compared to her ultimate goal.
One day, she would take the position of Mrs.Ford, and when that happened, no one would bring up her past.
Only her glory would be reflected.
It wasn’t like she hadn’t had her share of scandals in the entertainment industry over the years.
She, too, had her fair share of bad exposure.
But even if that were so, so what? With a little hard work and a lot of patience, she could stay as theleading actress even with few awards.
If it were not for the engagement party, she would’ve still remained the country’s hottest movie celebrity.
So long she was successful, no one would remember her past.
Guinevere had always believed in that.
With those thoughts in mind, she scooped Zachary and brought him aside.
Grunting, the toddler seemed hungry.
Guinevere impatiently grabbed a few peanuts from the table.
“You can’t eat such junk…” she began.
‘But kids shouldn’t have problems eating nuts, right,’ she thought and shrugged it off.
She proceeded to give Zachary those nuts.
“Eat some of these.
They’re good for brain development.
“Eat more, and stop whining and annoying me,” she muttered under her breath.
Zachary blinked, appearing to be completely oblivious to what peanuts were.
He immediately tried stuffing them into his mouth, shell and all.
Guinevere frowned.
She had no choice but to peel them and hand them to him patiently.
Zachary, a glutton by nature, loved to try out new things, and he swallowed all of themin two mouthfuls.
A few minutes later, he began to act a little strange.
“Ughh…
Mmph!!!” The child frowned and wouldn’t stop scratching his face from what seemed like an unstoppable irritation.
Guinevere hurriedly tried to stop him.
“What are you doing?!” Zachary slapped her hand off and scratched his face again, this time leaving behind a few redmarks.
“Listen. No scratching!” Guinevere was shocked and grabbed his hand firmly to stop him from moving.
“You. Kid. Why are you suddenly misbehaving again?” It was actually not that hard to take care of Zachary.
She just had to make a face.
In fact, Zachary had never made a fuss with her in Wendy and Warren’s absence.
He would only throw tantrums when someone he knew was around.
The child, however, was clearly in great discomfort.
He kept grunting and tried his hardest to break free from Guinevere’s grip.
Soon, his face turned red.
He opened his hand and closed it again, trying to scratch at something.
Upon closer inspection, Guinevere finally noticed that red dots had emerged on his face.
“What’s wrong? Are they mosquito bites?” What she saw immediately rang alarm bells.
“Why do you have so many red marks on your face?!”
Zachary, undoubtedly, had no answers.
With tear-filled eyes, he looked like he was in great pain.
At last, as he threw the remaining nuts in his hand to the ground, he started whimpering and breaking out into amassive bawl.
More and more red spots sprouted, and his face began to show signs of swelling.
Stella had just come out ofthe bathroom and was about to join Weston in the lobby when she saw acommotion in front.
“Is the child allergic to something?”.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1006
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1006 Stella saw Weston’s face change. When he strode over, she hurriedly followed him and wentover to see what the commotion was about.
Zachary was lying in Guinevere’s arms and was breathing laboriously.
Tears streamed down his cheeks.
“Waaa!!! Ugh…” Zachary cried and heaved his chest violently.
His face was covered with red spots, and even his lips were swollen.
His voice was weak even as he cried.
Stella frowned at once.
“What’s wrong?”
Weston strode over and picked Zachary up.
He ordered sternly, “Call the doctor over.” Warren heard the news and rushed over too.
He was so furious to see Zachary like this.
“What’s going on?” He questioned with red eyes.
“How could this happen? Wasn’t he just doing fine?” “I think it’s an allergic reaction…” Weston said.
He scowled at Zachary and gave Guinevere a cold glare.
“What did you just feed him?” Seeing that, Warren also looked at Guinevere angrily,” You were taking care of him, right? What were you doing?How could this happen?!” Warren was so furious his tone harshened immediately.” You are his mother, aren’t you? You kept whining about wanting to take care of him. Look at what you have done?!”
“Sorry, Grandpa. I don’t know what’s going on either…”
Guinevere panicked.
“What is he allergic to? Is it the mosquitoes in the house…” She never expected that things would turn out like this.
She stood up, feeling a little weak.
“Let the doctor come and take a look at him…” “Do you even need to say that?” Warren scolded her.”Just stay there.
Don’t come over and make things worse!” Wendy also rushed over and was shocked to see Zachary in this state.
“How did this happen?!” Her eyes were red.
“Is he having allergies? He’s allergic to nuts.
Did someone feed him nuts?” Hearing that, Warren got furious.
“Didn’t I order everyone not to feed him nuts? Who did it? Do you want to get fired? Get over here now!”
Guinevere stopped dead inher tracks.
She was still holding some nuts in her hand.
Warren quickly noticed it and roared at her.
“It’s you!!! Why did you feed him nuts?! Do you want him to die?!”
“I didn’t know…”
Lost and in apanic, Guinevere opened her hand, and out fell the nuts.
“I didn’t know he was allergic to nuts…” Wendy stood up at that and gave her a resentful look.
“You were screaming at Stella because she fed Zack some sweet dessert.
I thought you were so devoted to Zack, but it seems you didn’t even know about his nut allergy!”
Wendy yelled so loudly thateveryone around heard her clearly.
Guinevere’s face paled.
She could hear the voices of people criticizing her.
“She is the real mother…but she is worse than the stepmother!” “She’s so strict to others when she’s so lenient to herself.”
“I can’t believe that with the child at thatage, she never knew he was allergic to nuts.
Look at the mess she’s caused.
It seems the mother doesn’t care about his son at all…»
The criticizing voices engulfed Guinevere, leaving her withnowhere to run.
She looked pleadingly at Weston, but his face was grim.
He did not even look at her.
She could only look to Warren for help.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1007 Warren adored Zachary most and felt sorry for him. When he saw the child‘s swollen face, he panicked and became anxious. “Where‘s the doctor??? Why isn‘t he here yet?”
The doctor finally arrived amid the commotion. Weston stayed calm and said to Warren, “Grandpa, take Zack to the hospital first. I‘ll take care of the party.”
Warren gradually regained his composure. His birthday party was still ongoing. If it was delayed because of this, it would have to be postponed. However, his guests were busy people and had little time to attend birthday celebrations. If it were postponed, rescheduling everything would be a mammoth task.
At that, he looked at Weston and said, “I‘ll leave it to you.” There was a tone of trust he did not even notice.
Warren trusted Weston more than anyone else he knew. He knew Weston could handle the rest.
Seeing that, Xavier wanted to go with Warren too. “Dad, I‘ll go with you.”
Warren gave him a look. “No.You stay here and help Weston with the party.”
The rest of the family would have to explain to the guests about the incident in his absence. The explanation would have to be sincere enough not to embarrass the Ford family while expressing the family‘s sincere apologies. In other words, this incident left a huge mess behind.
Chris also rushed over in a panic. “Did something happen to Zack?” Chris‘s face was filled with fear. He was obviously extremely anxious. “Dad, I‘ll go with you! Zack! How is Zack doing?!” Warren glared at him. “What‘s the use of you coming? You‘ll only cause trouble! Stay here and help your son with the family dinner!”
“No! Dad! I’m coming with you!” Chris had to see that Zachary was okay with his own eyes, or he would not be relieved. He would not budge and insisted on following Warren.
Seeing that, Warren had no choice but to allow Chris to follow. “You‘re just a good–for nothing fellow!”
Warren was most worried about Zachary, though.
Zachary‘s face was swollen badly. His heart ached to see his great–grandson‘s laborious breathing and inability to speak
“My poor Zack… How could he have such an irresponsible mother…”
Guinevere wanted to follow them, but Warren glared at her when she got to the door. “What are you doing here? Haven‘t you hurt him enough?!”
“I–1…” Guinevere panicked completely. Now, she was unsure of what to do. She did not know if she should get in the car or leave.
Warren was annoyed at her obstructing the way. “Hurry up and get lost!” Guinevere‘s face was ashen. She stood there, unable to move. When Warren was about to have a fit of anger again, Wendy stepped forward and took Guinevere‘s arm before Chris did. She pulled Guinevere back and said, “We‘ll take the car in the back.”
Guinevere finally came to her senses and followed Wendy into the car behind.
The only people who went to the hospital were Warren, Wendy, and Guinevere. Meanwhile, the men stayed back and took care of the party.
Chris wanted to tag along, but Warren‘s powderkeg temper sobered him up. At last, he decided to stay and take care of the mess. Even if he went to the hospital, he would be a bother and do nothing but annoy Warren instead.
Stella watched as the cars drove away, feeling a little worried. “Will Zachary be alright?”
Stella harbored no affinity for Zachary, though she knew he was just an innocent child.
She did not want to see him, but that did not mean she wanted him to die.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1008 Looking a little stern, Weston took Stella‘s shoulder and reassured her, “It‘ll be fine with Grandpa around. “I wanted to have a good walk in the mansion with you…” Stella understood what he meant and shook her head at him. “It‘s okay. I understand. Your business is more important.”
With Warren gone, the rest of the burden would fall on Weston‘s shoulders.
Needless to say, Xavier had always been the spoilt rich kid who did nothing. Meanwhile, Chris was dying to help but he was powerless. There wasn‘t much he could do. Besides…
Stella glanced at Chris, who seemed very worried about Zachary and kept mumbling.
She sighed emotionally. “Your family… They all seem to like Zachary a lot.” Weston suddenly gave her a deep and meaningful look. “Many things are not what you expect.”
“What do you mean?” Stella asked. She couldn‘t understand. Weston did not explain and just patted her head. “You don‘t have to know too much. Just stay by my side.” 3
He reached out to her.
Stella hesitated a little before she put her hand in his. “Mr. Ford, did something happen earlier? Chairman Ford left in such a hurry.”
A few people who weren‘t aware of the situation came up to Weston and asked questions. Weston patiently explained things to them and calmed them down as best he could. Some were very interested in Stella. “I‘ve only seen Mrs. Ford from afar at the wedding before. Nice meeting you again. Mrs. Ford is really worthy of the name!”
“Mr. Ford is very blessed!”
Stella had heard many similar compliments like these. Mixed with both sincerity and falsehood, no one knew how sincere these compliments were. Most people were just envious of the powerful. A woman with just good looks wasn‘t really a big deal, but if she had a great man, her charm would suddenly skyrocket.
Many were curious about her; their curiosity was piqued because of her identity as Weston‘s woman and not herself. She knew that very well, so she did not find the compliments a form of flattery.
They were shackles.
Weston could see her lack of interest. “Feeling bored?” Stella responded with a weak hum. She had not been in a good mood since yesterday, thinking she would have to kill Weston one day. Thus, she had the strength to play the love game with him.
However, things had changed. She could no longer do it, which meant she would have to live like this for the foreseeable future until Weston got tired of her.
Stella had a change of heart and started to react to things around her negatively. That was the way her life was. Why try to force herself to do anything? Besides, she still had Roger…
Weston would always threaten her as long as he was alive. The black shadow in her mind returned at that thought. “You‘re the stupidest person in the world! You could‘ve killed him! Look at you now! How pathetic…”
As she thought of that, a familiar voice sounded.
“I was just talking to an old friend. What‘s going on over here?”
Stella looked up and saw it was Jason. “Hi, Jason.”
Stella greeted him politely, to which Weston followed and greeted Jason with a gentle nod. He explained to him about the incident earlier.
After listening to him, Jason became a little worried. “Is Zack alright?” Jason was a long–time friend of Warren‘s, and he knew how much Warren loved his great grandson. Weston reassured him, “It‘s an allergy, but it was caught in time, and nothing serious happened. Don‘t worry. If there‘s any update, we‘ll let you know immediately.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1009 “That‘s great.” Jason let out a sigh of relief and looked at Stella apologetically.
“I was a little too worried about Zack. I didn‘t mean to ignore you.”
Stella was surprised. “It‘s no problem…”
Unlike Warren, Jason had a great appreciation for Stella. They were both music lovers, and he admired Stella‘s talent on the piano.
“It‘s been a long time since we last met at the mansion. I didn‘t get to wish you a happy wedding.” Stella had a good impression of Jason, and she replied him in kind. “Thanks, Jason.” “Remember the piano I gave you? How is it? Is it good?” Hearing that, Stella felt a little guilty. “I‘ve been slacking lately. I haven‘t been practicing…” Jason looked at Weston with a thoughtful look and smiled. “You two are newlyweds. I understand why you have little time to practice.”
Stella smiled, but there was not much sincerity in it.
After Jason left, Stella fell silent and appeared disinterested in everything around her. Even Weston noticed her strange behavior.
After calming the guests, he pulled her aside. “Is something wrong?” “I‘m fine. “Stella shook her head.
Weston fixed his gaze on her. “I don‘t like it when you hide things on your mind.”
“You forced me to stay by your side… fine. Now, are you going to care about what‘s on my mind?”
“All of you are mine. You‘re mine. Of course, I‘m in charge,” Weston‘s declared in that unmistakable tone of his.
Stella dropped her hands. She did not feel like saying anything.
Meanwhile, Guinevere looked at her hands in anxious delirium in the car and could not help but blame herself. What was she thinking? Why was she unaware of Zachary‘s nut allergy?
Wendy massaged her brows and did not look at Guinevere.
After a short moment, Guinevere initiated a conversation with Wendy. “Wendy, I really didn‘t mean to…”
Guinevere and Wendy were not on good terms, but she could only seek her understanding at this point.
“I really didn‘t know he was allergic to nuts… No one ever told me…” “Are you blaming me for not telling you???” Wendy frowned and looked at her in dissatisfaction. “It has already happened. What‘s the use of you saying these things?”
Guinevere pressed her lips. “I know it‘s no use now…”
“I‘m glad that you know,” Wendy cut her off. “I hope Zack will be fine. If something were to happen to him, Dad would never forgive you.”
Wendy casually added fuel to the fire, making Guinevere‘s blood boil. Even so, she could not refute Wendy. Instead, her anxiety only ballooned in severity.
If this went on, she would only push Zachary further and further away. There might be a day when even Warren would not allow her to meet Zachary again.
Those from the Ford family were men of their word. They could do things like this. However, Zachary was the only child she would ever have…
Guinevere‘s thoughts became more and more confused. What should she do? Wendy seemed to notice her uneasiness. After a short silence, she mentioned coldly, “Illness always happens because of what we eat. Some things are poisonous and should not be eaten.”
Wendy paused for a moment and said nonchalantly, “Just like Stella. She even has a pot of oleanders. I‘m afraid that she herself doesn‘t know that oleanders are highly poisonous. If anyone eats them, they might die a horrible death.”
At first, Guinevere did not take it seriously and was slightly annoyed. Why was Wendy talking about Stella for no reason? She was not interested in Stella!
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1010 As Guinevere listened, dark, unspeakable thoughts arose in her mind. These thoughts made her hands tremble a little.
Stella had the poisonous oleander plant in her room. Meanwhile, Zachary was no longer someone who could help her keep Weston in line. One day, Zachary would call Stella mother.
Guinevere‘s eyes were blank and slightly distracted for a moment.
Wendy stared at her face for a few seconds and suddenly asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Guinevere jumped in shock and covered her chest. “I-it‘s nothing…”
She made a sad face. “I‘m just wondering if Zack will be okay.”
Wendy‘s expression darkened. She had a cold smile but said nothing.
After getting out of the car, the two went straight to the hospital.
While the doctors treated Zachary in the emergency room, Warren was waiting at the door. Wendy and Guinevere walked over and greeted him in unison.
“Grandpa.”
“Dad.”
Warren looked at them coldly. When his gaze fell on Guinevere, it turned colder. “I thought you cared a lot about Zack‘s safety, but I never thought… I‘m really disappointed in you!” “Sorry, Grandpa. It really wasn‘t deliberate!” Guinevere knelt on her knees and pleaded for his pardon. “I‘m willing to do anything for your forgiveness…”
“What else can you do? Can you keep Zack safe?!”
Guinevere moved aside and stopped talking. Warren knew she never meant for this to happen. After all, why would a mother do such a thing to her biological child?
He was just angry.
“Guinevere‘s indifference to her child is astounding! It seems you‘re no better than Stella, Zack‘s stepmother!”
Guinevere‘s face changed sharply. That was what she dreaded hearing the most. Did they just say she was no better than Stella? That was ridiculous!
Despite the absurdity of the situation, she knew she would lose her position completely if she continued like this. Hence, she had no other choice. It was then that a horrible idea came to her mind.
‘Zack, don‘t blame me…’ Guinevere went to the end of the corridor and made a call in a hidden corner. “Gwen! Why did you call?” The person on the other end of the line seemed very excited.
Guinevere hesitated for a moment and asked, “I just want to ask you something. Was the guy who threw the acid at the birthday party yesterday an accomplice of yours?”
After her last engagement party incident came to light, many fans began to desert her. save for a loyal few. Thus, to maintain their loyalty, she had personally stayed in contact with their leader.
The person who threw acid yesterday did indeed ring some bells, but she did not want to admit it.
There was a long silence on the other end. “Don‘t worry, Gwen. We won‘t drag you down. This has nothing to do with you. It‘s been us all along!” Guinevere knew they were a gang. She lowered her voice and asked him, “I have a question. Are you still in the mansion?” The man fell into a short silence, then quickly confessed. “Yes. Two of us got in, but the first one got caught…” “Do you still have more plans?”
The man answered honestly, “No. We found out that our little stunt would drag you down, so we plan to stop.”
Guinevere took a deep breath. “I‘ll ask you then. Have you noticed… anything strange about Stella?” “Gwen, I don‘t understand what you mean…”
