Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1091
Yvonne said so much that she got angry again. She was so furious, she had to drink ice water to calm down.
Lucas grabbed her wrist and stopped her from leaving. He pulled her into his arms and said, “You‘ve been talking about Stella lately. Why are you so mad? Don‘t you care about your body? Have I been too indulgent with you lately, Yvonne?”
“I‘m worried about my friend. What‘s wrong with that?”
Yvonne gave him an angry thump on the shoulder. She did not use much force. Instead, it seemed like she was throwing a tantrum and whining at him.
Lucas grabbed her hand and kissed the back of her hand.“ Since you‘re here, stay with me on my business trip. I have to go to the hospital later. Will you wait here for me or come with me?”
Yvonne legend on his shoulder. “Well, you‘re quite sincere, so I‘ll accompany you to the hospital.”
Lucas smiled. “I knew it. You‘re just so clingy.”
Yvonne said she would not miss him whenever he went on a business trip. Even so, she would always sneak over to him after two days.
Perhaps Yvonne had displayed her aggressiveness earlier as an excuse to cling to him.
Yvonne suddenly asked with some concern, “Will you get tired of me one day?”
The two had been very close since they were young, and Yvonne would always follow Lucas around.
Lucas pretended to think about it and then told her with a serious face, “It‘s possible . So behave and don‘t annoy me.”
Yvonne immediately put on a face and grunted.“ Whatever! I don‘t care!”
Lucas‘s eyes gradually darkened without her noticing. He sighed in his heart. Somehow, she would never understand that he was deliberately making her cling to him like this.
The next day, at the Ford Corporation building.
The incident yesterday did not affect the work, but there were still some rumors.
Even Ben asked Weston tentatively about the rumors.“ Are the rumors true?”
Weston replied with a cold stare. Ben did not dare to ask any more questions and concentrated on the investment work.
Weston was in his office. He looked at his phone and saw no message from Stella. When he realized what he was waiting for, he felt silly.
He should have seen through her acting. Why would he think she would be jealous?
Stella would only act in front of him. She thought she could fool him. Stella did not even bother to act whenever he was absent. Perhaps, she did not care at all. Maybe his absence from home for a few days was what she wanted.
When Weston was about to tell Daisy to bring in the files, his phone rang suddenly. He glanced at the screen, and his gaze stopped. It was a call from the mansion.
Weston did not want to answer it at first.
Perhaps Stella realized that he had not been back in the last few days, which made her reflect on her acting. She should not just stop her acting on the surface . Perhaps she should also use those skills in his absence, so she called to act out her jealousy and envy.
Weston believed that everything Stella said was untrue, especially when she said she loved him. Even so, he picked up the call anyway. He said nothing and waited for Stella to speak on the other end of the call.
“Weston...”
“Hey.”
“Do you not want me anymore?”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1092
Weston drove home at breakneck speed. The black Maybach raced to its top speed on the highway.
After what Stella said, Weston hung up the phone and headed straight for the mansion. The one sentence she said hit him hard.
Weston rested his wrist on the steering wheel as a hint of self–deprecating emotion flashed in his eyes. Since when could Stella easily affect his emotions?
Ben called on the phone. “Mr. Ford, the foreign business attaches are waiting for you in the meeting room.”
“Push it back. We‘ll start by showing them a preview of the plan.”
“When will you officially meet them?”
Weston glanced at the time. “Tomorrow afternoon.”
Ben‘s heart thumped. It seems Stella will suffer today, he thought.
“Okay, Mr. Ford.”
Ben was about to go out after ending the call when he saw Daisy glancing around in the hallway.
As Ben came out, Daisy hesitated before she went up to him. She asked, “Mr. Sullivan, does Mr. Ford have something urgent?”
She had never seen Weston so anxious before, especially in the company. He was always at ease and rarely lost his cool like earlier.
Ben sighed a little and said nothing about Weston’s matter. He only told Daisy about Weston‘s orders.
Daisy noted it down. She could not help but ask him, “Did Mr. Ford leave to meet Ms. Cohen... or Ms. Sealey?”
Ben furrowed his brow a little, thinking Daisy‘s question sounded inappropriate. She had overstepped the bounds, so he politely reminded her, “How‘s your relationship with... How are you with Mr. Xavier lately?”
Daisy froze a little. She did not expect Ben to ask that. Ben had always been slow on such matters. He was good at his job and social networking, but he was almost clueless regarding relationships.
“Mr. Sullivan, I didn‘t mean anything. I‘m just...” Daisy paused a little. Then, she smiled apologetically.
“It‘s just the rumors I heard in the past two days... I thought it would do some damage to Mr. Ford‘s image, so I asked you the question. Maybe I sounded a little unprofessional. Sorry.” Daisy‘s apology was sincere, and Ben believed her. He nodded. “It makes sense that you are worried. Mr. Ford should be able to handle it.”
“That‘s great,” Daisy exhaled and said. “If there‘s nothing else, I‘ll go back to work?”
“Go ahead.”
As soon as Daisy turned around, her expression changed. After that, she returned to her workstation without any expression on her face. Then, her colleague came over and said, “Ms. Daisy, a woman was looking for you. She claims to be your younger sister!”
Daisy rubbed her brow and stood up. “I see. Where is she now?”
“The receptionist told her to wait for you in the lobby.”
Daisy responded with a hum and hurried there. She could see Nicole sitting in the lobby with a childish–looking shoulder bag from a distance. Nicole looked nervous and insignificant but straightened her back, not wanting to be looked down upon.
A hint of annoyance flashed in Daisy‘s eyes. She strode up to her and lowered her voice as she said in Nicole‘s ear,“ This isn‘t the right place to talk. Come with me.”
Nicole stood. Before she could say anything , Daisy had turned to leave.
When Nicole saw Daisy‘s determined back, her eyes darkened a little. She followed her in stride anyway. Then, the two walked into a storeroom.
Daisy glanced out and closed the door. “Say it. What do you want?”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1093
Nicole watched Daisy‘s actions and smiled sarcastically.
“Am I such an embarrassment? Are you so afraid that others will look at me as your younger sister?”
“Don‘t waste my time by saying such meaningless things.”
Daisy cut her off and said, “I have work to do. Just say what you want.”
With that, she paused a little and gave her a meaningful look. “I didn‘t think you‘d find out where I work.”
“That‘s because you even blocked my phone number!” Nicole clenched her fist for a moment. Nicole saw Daisy‘s expression turn obscure. She exhaled and calmed down, not wanting to bring up their old scores at such a time. “I‘m not looking for you this time. I‘m looking for a man.”
“Who?”
“His name is Weston.”
Daisy froze for a moment. Then, she looked at her intently and showed a helpless, amused, and sarcastic face. “Why are you still the same as before? Are you daydreaming again?”
‘How could Nicole meet Weston so casually? Is he that kind of man?‘ Daisy wondered.
“No. I just want to thank him...”
Nicole lowered her head and said in a low voice, “He helped me a lot. He paid off my family‘s debts and allowed me to return to school.” Nicole sounded very sincere.
Daisy gathered her composure and looked at Nicole in silence.
Nicole looked up into Daisy‘s eyes. “Daisy. I found out that you‘re Mr. Ford‘s secretary. Can you pass the message on to him? I would like to thank him personally.”
Seeing Daisy‘s look of disbelief, Nicole took out something from her bag. “Mr. Ford left this watch at my place last time, but it broke accidentally. I’ve repaired it for him. Can I give it to him in person?”
Daisy inhaled sharply. Then, she looked at the young girl seriously. “When did you meet him?”
“I... ” Nicole refused to say.
“If you don‘t tell me, I won‘t pass the message.”
Nicole then stammered and told her the story.
Daisy‘s face changed. “How dare you! How dare you sell yourself at such a place?”
“Don‘t be so nasty. I just play the piano there... Don’t forget. You‘re the one who left our grandparents and me behind!”
Daisy took a deep breath as the past was brought up again. She snatched the watch away from Nicole and warned her, “Anyway, you can‘t afford to mess with someone like Weston. If you see him again, stay away from him. Otherwise, I can‘t help you if something happens.”
Meanwhile, at the Stardust Mansion.
Weston drove his Maybach through the gate and saw Stella‘ standing on the front lawn. She was tendering to a flowering tree.
When Stella saw the car coming in, she stopped what she was doing and looked at him from a distance.
Weston got out of the car and walked in.
Joan was not expecting Weston to come back suddenly. She was a little excited and went forward. Before she could say anything, Weston walked right past her to Stella. He picked Stella up and walked towards the door.
“Ah... ” Stella gasped as her feet dangled in the air. She
reflexively wrapped her arms around his neck. “Mister!” Joan followed behind him. When she saw Weston‘s eagerness, she rubbed her nose a little uncomfortable and averted her gaze. She would not have to enter the mansion for the next few hours.
Weston pinned Stella to the sofa in the living soon. He placed his hands around her waist and tightened his grip. Then, he kissed her fiercely, overwhelming her. Stella pressed her hands against his chest and resisted weakly.
“Weston ... ” Stella called his name in between breaths.
Weston did not seem to hear it. He clutched her hands hard and above her head to restrain her from struggling.“ Yes. I‘m right here.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1094
Weston looked up and down at her.
Stella had gotten used to wearing a nightgown at home. The light pink cotton fabric gave her a docile disposition.
At least, there was nothing to suggest that she could have hurt, poisoned, or killed him.
Weston cupped her chin and made her look into his eyes. “Did you miss me?”
Stella‘s nose suddenly felt sore. With an aggrieved face, she asked, “Have you deliberately stayed away from home?”
She hooked onto his neck with her arms and buried her head in his arms.
“I‘ve heard it all. All those rumors out there are...”
Stella slowly tightened her fingers and clutched the hem of his shirt. “Are the rumors true? Are you going to reconcile with Guinevere...”
“Who told you that?” Weston frowned and pulled her out of his arms. He wanted to see her full face.
Stella‘s eyes were a bit red. Weston could not tell if her sad look was real or fake. He was unsure if she was really sad or if it was all an act.
“No one told me.” Stella shook her head. “Is it true? You don‘t want me anymore?”
Her question seemed to hit him harder than the words he had heard on the phone earlier.
Weston had to grit his teeth hard to suppress the raging emotions in him. The veins on his forehead and the backs of his hands were bulging. He propped himself above her, tipped her chin, and kissed her without a word.
The sound of their passionate kisses could make hearts race.
Weston kissed her so hard, like he was trying to eat her up. His possessive aura was dense in the air.
“I won‘t leave you.” Weston rasped and whispered in her ear, “I‘ll never leave you.”
Weston had resigned to his fate. Even if it were all an act, he would take it.
It turned out that hungry men who hadn‘t satisfied their urges for days were the worst. Stella often admired Weston‘s self–control. He could go a long time without touching her, but whenever the fire ignited, he would devour her like an insatiable and unstoppable beast. They went from the sofa in the living room to the stairs and then to the bedroom. Weston did not bother restraining himself when they moved to the bathroom.
Even during the heat of the moment, Weston didn‘t forget to take out a box of condoms from a nearby cabinet.
Stella pressed his arm with slightly red eyes. She asked, “ You didn‘t use it the last time. Why are you using it this time...”
Weston looked down at her and pressed a kiss on her forehead. “You‘re about to have your period. It‘s not a good time to go straight in.”
He leaned into her ears and said slowly, “You‘re too weak.”
Stella paused a little and blushed. Then, she said helplessly, “What‘s the point of caring about this? I‘m not going to get pregnant anyway.” Weston froze a little. Then, he wrapped his arms around his waist tightly, sweeping her up like a storm.
He kissed her hard on the lips, making her unable to speak. Naturally, he did not want her to repeat such things.
Stella soon drowned in the whirlpool of his fiery passion.
The two of them had not spoken for days, and they seemed to have grown a little distant because of the cold war, though everything seemed to have faded.
No one knew how long it took before the intimate moments inside the mansion calmed down.
Joan had taken care of them for a period. She was experienced enough and knew not to disturb them at such a moment. Otherwise, they would end up in an awkward situation.
Joan went out to do some shopping, leaving the two alone in the mansion.
Stella was covered in sweat as if she had just been fished out of the water. She lay on Weston‘s chest and panted hard as she curled her fingers weakly.
“Didn‘t those women out there satisfy you?”
Weston furrowed his brow slightly. The lust in his eyes remained burning
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1095
When Weston heard what Stella said, he rolled over and pinned her on the bed.
“Are you still thinking about that? It seems I didn‘t try hard enough just now.”
Stella closed her eyes. Her eyelashes fluttered a little. She pleaded, “I really can‘t...” Her tone was thick with fatigue.
Stella was so tired that her hands were shaking. Her skin was still red and covered in marks. She looked somewhat pitiful.
Weston‘s heart softened at her look. He pecked her on the cheek and lay on the bed again.
After that, he turned on his side and hugged her. “From now on, you won‘t have to worry about anything outside.”
He said, “You‘re my only one. You’re the only one I’ll ever have. Don‘t listen to the rumors. I‘ll take care of them.”
Stella rested her hands on his waist and stomach. She quietly ran her fingers through his beautiful toned muscles. When she heard the heavy breathing above her, she immediately retracted her hand. “Can I trust you?” She looked up at him with an innocent look and hesitation.
Weston knew she made that face on purpose, but she did not seem to understand how tempting it looked to a man.
Weston kissed her on the forehead.
Stella could not breathe and tried to retreat, but Weston cupped her chin and demanded a deeper kiss.
This day, he tasted all the sweetness in her mouth. At last, Stella was so exhausted that she drifted off to sleep.
Weston got up and lit a cigarette. He looked at the sleeping face next to him. After a short silence, he put out the cigarette.
Weston never thought he could be so childish at times. He never thought that he would be so insecure with a woman one day and not stop until he saw her jealous side. His feelings were spiraling out of control.
Joan sighed after seeing Weston‘s deep affection for Stella, relieved to see that he still had Stella in his heart despite the troubles out there.
A storm of rumors was swirling out there. They said that Warren had found strong evidence. Many reputable lawyers analyzed the case and said that Stella would definitely go to jail this time.
There were all sorts of claims, and all of them were not optimistic. Unlike Stella, Joan was still anxious.
Stella, on the other hand, had just stayed at home and did not seem to care about anything. However, Joan could not help but look for more updates, which made her more worried.
She had heard nothing of the two women from Lowe Garden in the past two days, so she was unsure if those scandals had calmed down. Or could there perhaps be bigger trouble in waiting?
Meanwhile, at the Ford Corporation towers.
Weston had postponed the meeting with the foreign businessman, so the details would be confirmed in a meeting later. The negotiation couldn‘t be completed due to Weston‘s absence yesterday, so the foreigners decided on the meeting location.
The foreigners who came to do business here had obviously prepared ahead and were aware of Weston‘s reputation. Many came because they were interested in the benefit of working with Weston.
These people knew Weston would definitely open overseas branches in the future, so they wanted to work with him first.
The entire process went without a hitch.
The discussion was about to conclude after three rounds of wine. After the business partners left the room, Ben suddenly came over and whispered in Weston’s ear.
“Mr. Ford, bad news... Ms. Cohen is here too. She seems to have done something.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1096
Weston looked up and glanced at Ben once. He did not show any response.
Ben hurriedly explained, “She seemed to have heard about Belle and Nicole , and she tricked them both into coming here. They thought they were here to work...”
“Well, Ms. Cohen clearly wants to teach them a lesson.”
“A lesson?” Weston asked indifferently.
Ben said, “The people over there seemed like they were going to cut off Nicole‘s hand. She would never play the piano again.”
Ben felt a little overwhelmed at this point and thought that Guinevere was too cruel.
Weston remained indifferent. “What else?”
“And Belle. Ms. Cohen seemed to be talking about cutting off her feet so she can never come back to Ahn City.”
After that, Ben asked tentatively, “Mr. Ford, should we do something?”
“No need. Keep an eye on it, but don‘t make too much of a fuss.”
Weston glanced at the time on his wristwatch. “Distract her and gather the evidence of power behind the Cohen
family.” After that, he paused a little before asking, “How‘s it going with Xavier?”
“Mr. Ford, it should be soon. Warren trusts Xavier very much. The Cohen family thinks he‘s our competitor , so they don‘t suspect him at all.”
Weston responded with a hum, seemingly uninterested.“ Get on with it.”
After a drink, Weston got up to return to the mansion.
The driver was at the wheel, and while they were exiting the parking lot, Weston saw a familiar figure waiting at the entrance.
Weston ordered the driver to stop and wound down the window.
The man outside heard the commotion and looked over.
When Michael saw Weston, his face changed. He immediately came over with a smile and greeted him,” Mr. Ford, what a coincidence.” Michael thought for a moment and decided to give it a try. “I heard that there‘s a big multinational project ongoing recently that would cooperate with the Ford Corporation. Were you discussing the details here?”
Weston glanced at him with indifference. “Mr. Sealey, what‘s the matter?”
Michael could tell from Weston‘s attitude that perhaps Stella hadn‘t told him about Roger.
Michael gathered his composure and said sternly, “I‘ve been unable to contact Stella for a while. I have something to tell her, so I hope you can pass the message to her, Mr. Ford.”
Weston finally turned his head and looked at him at the mention of Stella‘s name.
Michael said with regret, “Stella‘s grandparents... My parents passed away a while ago, and tomorrow is the funeral. I hope she can attend it.”
He paused a little in sorrow and said, “I know she has some issues with the Sealeys, but his father is the eldest son of the family, and I hope she can come over to see them off on behalf of her father.”
Michael did not tell Weston that Stella already knew Roger was dead. After all, he was the one who broke the news to Stella. He did not want Weston to go after him later.
When Stella heard the news, she did not show any emotions.
Weston cut the steak into small pieces and swapped her plate with his.
Stella was startled by his thoughtfulness and laughed.“ You‘re quite the gentleman.”
She remembered that Weston used to do the same thing with Guinevere. He would cut the steak for her before giving it to her.
Weston pulled out a tissue and wiped his fingertips. He asked straightforwardly, “Are you going to their funeral?”
Stella fell into a short silence. “I don‘t know...”
She sighed a little. “They weren‘t nice to me, but my dad was very close to them.”
Stella always thought that her grandparents loved her very much until the plane crash happened.
“Don‘t push yourself.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1097
Weston said, “If you want to, I‘ll go with you. If you don‘t, I‘ll reject it for you.”
Stella was torn between decisions. After a long time, she looked at him and asked, “Will you take me out?”
“If I‘m around, yes.” Weston lifted his hand and wiped the juice from the corner of her mouth.
Stella smiled meaningfully. “I thought you were going to keep me here forever...”
“That‘s because you never listen. If you behave, however, I’ll take you out for events like this.”
Stella nodded and took a piece of steak with the fork. She brought it to her mouth but did not eat it. “The trial…”
The two hadn‘t talked about this topic for the past few days in mutual understanding.
Weston paused a little. He picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip. “It‘ll go as planned. Don‘t worry. Tina will tell you what to do later.”
Stella held up her fork but did not eat for a long time.
She could not help but ask him, “Have you ever thought of it in your heart? Did you ever suspect me as a murderer?”
Weston raised his eyebrows. He clearly didn‘t want to talk about it. “It doesn‘t matter to me. I just want you to stand in front of me, safe and well.”
“Even if I did kill your son, you wouldn‘t care?”.
“I told you before. Zachary isn‘t my son.“.
“The child is dead, so it‘s not yours anymore?” Stella gripped the fork with all her might. “Then the child we lost before...”
“Enough!” Weston cut her off and stood up. “Don‘t overthink this. It‘s already been decided. It‘ll be fine as long as you cooperate with Tina during the trial.”
“Also...” Weston walked to her and tipped her chin.“ Don‘t try to contact anyone on your own. After the trail, stay in the mansion. Don‘t ever leave without my permission.”
Stella‘s eyes trembled, but she did not say anything. After a short while, she put the food in her mouth and ate without expression.
Stella had gotten used to the always –changing tension between the two of them. Weston was sometimes soft and gentle but sometimes very cold.
Weston was pleased to see her obedience. He loosened his tie and pressed a kiss on her forehead. “Finish your dinner and get some rest today. I‘ll take you to the funeral tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
The next day, at the Sealey family home. Stella had mixed feelings coming back.
There were already numerous cars parked outside. Among them, Weston‘s black Maybach stood out the most.
The Sealey family was considered a middle–class family in the area. Stella‘s parents were both university professors and had a good reputation.
Stella and Roger grew up like little princesses and princes when they were young. They had never experienced any hardship
Though their family was not as rich as the richest ones, like the Ford and the Cohen family, they were still very well off.
Stella held Weston‘s hand and got out of the car while everyone was watching. She looked at the familiar building before her eyes and felt like a stranger.
“This is where you grew up?” Weston observed the look on her face. Then, he tucked her hair behind her ear gently.
Stella nodded. “Yeah....”.
The Sealey family was dumbfounded at the scene. They
had heard about Weston and Stella‘s relationship, but seeing them interact in person was completely different.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1098
If the Sealey family and Stella‘s relationship hadn‘t been such a big deal, they would‘ve been all musing over Stella‘s marriage to Weston.
Those related to her were eager to bask in Weston‘s glory. However, they knew how ruthless they were when they kicked Stella out of the family, so they did not dare to bother her without any notice, fearing it would make things worse.
They only thought about contacting Stella after her grandparents passed. After all, it was Stella‘s grandmother who kicked them out of the family. No one else stepped in.
They did not help Stella when she was kicked out of the family, but they could say that they were afraid of Grandma Sealey and didn‘t dare to mediate the situation. They were in a difficult position themselves, but at least they could justify their action.
The dead had passed and would never come back to life. It was easier to let the dead take the blame anyway.
“Stella, it‘s been so long since I‘ve seen you. You‘re all grown up!”
One of Stella‘s distant uncles came over and looked at her with emotion and nostalgia. “I felt guilty all these years. I couldn‘t give you a hand before...”
He sighed a little. “But you should know. Your grandmother is too stubborn. I can‘t just disobey her. She‘s gone now, but she actually misses you. Before she passed away, she specially told us to let you come visit on behalf of your father.”
If it was before, Stella would have just ignored him. She knew they were being hypocrites . Things had changed, however. She had learned to smile and speak with these people despite her disdain.
“I‘m glad she thought of me before she died. After all, she‘s never asked about me after all these years,” Stella said with an indifferent smile.
Stella‘s uncle smiled awkwardly and sighed. “She‘s stubborn and unwilling to admit her mistake to the younger children. We tried to advise her, but... Anyway, it‘s good that you‘re back. After all, blood ties are inseparable. Don‘t you think so?”
After that, he moved his gaze from Stella to Weston, who stood next to her. He acted as if he had just seen him.
“Mr. Ford, you‘re here with Stella?” He smiled with relief. “I‘m glad that Stella has you with her.”
“It‘s what I should do,” Weston responded differently.
Stella glanced at him. Weston was again distant to outsiders . He shook hands with Stella‘s uncle and then quickly withdrew it.
Weston remained humble from the beginning to the end. He gave off the impression that he was not overly arrogant, yet was somehow distant and unreachable.
There were a lot of people waiting to catch up with Stella. However, they were all here, in fact, for Weston.
Stella understood how it was all about Weston. After all, his status and power were very attractive to these people who coveted fame and fortune.
Even so, she could not help but feel tired at heart.
There were no reporters at the funeral due to Stella and Weston‘s presence. However, people were waiting outside for Stella to show up, ready to flock to the scene as soon as she appeared.
There were many different opinions about Zachary‘s cause of death, and everyone wanted to find out more.
With paparazzi flocking around, eager to know the latest, harsh security measures were put in place.,‘ No one else except for family members and guests could come in.
Michael had come over with Diana.
“Stella, Mr. Ford,” he greeted them while holding the woman beside him carefully. “You came.”
Diana was a woman who adored the concept of beauty.
She could never live without her high heels, but due to her pregnancy, she was actually wearing flats and maternity clothes.
It wasn’t easy for them to have child, so they cherished it with their lives.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1099
Diana was delighted to meet Stella. “Stella, I thought you wouldn‘t come.”
When Stella saw Diana, she finally showed a genuine smile on her face. “I left in a hurry last time, and I couldn‘t congratulate you. How are you coming along?”
“We‘re good.” Diana rubbed her belly, wanting to share the joy of her pregnancy with Stella. However, after some thought, she decided not to for fear that Stella would start overthinking After a few pleasantries, Michale and Diana took their leave. Before leaving, he looked at Stella for a few moments, only smiling and saying nothing.
Diana could not help but whisper in his ear, “Am I imagining things? Why are you looking at Stella in such a strange way? Are you two still not over what happened back then...”
Michael sighed. “I‘m sorry for her and Roger for what happened back then, but there‘s no other way. I only hope they‘ll let it go eventually. We‘ll try to make it up for them too.”
At the mention of Roger, Diana suddenly thought of something. “I haven‘t heard about Roger in a long time...”
She then got a little worried. “Why isn‘t he here at an event like this?”
Diana was unaware of the fact that Roger was not the Sealey family‘s biological child. Michael had no plan to tell her anything, so he said, “Roger is more willful than Stella. It‘s only natural that he doesn‘t show up.”
Diana nodded but felt something was wrong.
Grandpa and Grandma Sealey were a bit patriarchal and preferred boys over girls. As their daughter–in–law, even she could sense it.
However, Grandpa and Grandma Sealey did not seem to favor Roger a lot. When they told them to invite Stella to pay her respect on behalf of her father at the funeral, they did not say a word about Roger.
It was as if Roger was not a member of the Sealey family.
Diana couldn‘t help but voice her doubts.
Michael put his arm around her shoulder and nudged her nose with a smile. “You‘ve become paranoid since you got pregnant. Roger probably didn‘t want to come. Don‘t overthink things.”
“Is that so?” Diana touched her head and felt a little embarrassed. “I’m probably overthinking then...”
Stella and Weston came to the funeral hall. As soon as they arrived, the others automatically made way for them.
Stella found it ironic to see her relatives speaking so nicely to her after ignoring her for years. She stared at the portrait of Grandma Sealey with a strange feeling.
Despite that, she still paid her respects. After all, it was her father‘s family.
Stella had fond memories of them over the years. She just did‘t expect the world to be so unpredictable as soon as they tore the superficial peace, revealing the cold and hard truth. It was cruel.
Weston portrayed himself as a very understanding son–in –law and accompanied Stella to speak to her relatives.
They did not plan to stay long. Besides, both knew very well that as long as Weston stayed, these people would be here not just to pay their respects to the dead but to strike up a conversation with Weston.
Stella was finally able to rest for a while, so Weston let her lean on him. “Feeling tired?”
“I‘m fine.”
Weston cupped her chin. “Don‘t push yourself too hard. You‘re here to pay your respects on your father‘s behalf. It‘s alright if you want to leave now.”
Stella said nothing and rested while leaning on him.
Suddenly, Ben came in from outside. He glanced at Stella and hesitated a little. “Mrs. Ford...”
Stella knew Ben had something to say to Weston, so she stood up and gave them space. “I‘m going to the washroom.”
Ben watched her disappear in the distance before whispering in Weston‘s ear, “Mr. Ford. Nicole and Belle are looking for you right now. They‘d like to meet you.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1100
“Let them wait.”
Ben nodded. “Okay.”
Just as he finished, Stella came out of the washroom.
Stella saw Ben leave in a hurry and walked to Weston. She asked, “Did something happen at work? Ben looks like he‘s in a hurry.”
Weston caressed her head. “It‘s nothing. It‘s just some work matter. I‘ll deal with it when I have the time.”
He paused slightly and said in her ears, “Also, you should meet with Tina later. She‘ll tell you what to do at the trial.”
Stella‘s eyes darkened. She lowered her head and did not say anything
After a short moment, she answered in an inaudible voice, “Okay.”
Weston parted her bangs, revealing the beautiful face underneath. He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. “Everything will be over after this.”
“Stella, listen to me. Don‘t be capricious.”
Stella nodded again and watched him walk away. After he left, she let out a breath.
Stella looked a little dazed and exhausted.
‘I‘m too tired. I‘m really too tired,‘ she thought. As she closed her eyes, the shadows of many people began to appear.
Her unborn child and Roger were no longer alive. There was nothing she could hold on to in this world.
When she first learned about Roger‘s death, she wanted to let Weston feel the same pain she had suffered, but things had changed. ‘I‘m just too tired now. I‘m tired,‘ she thought.
A black car was parked outside the estate. When Stella got in, she saw several cars coming over from the other road.
Ben sat in the driver‘s seat and said to Stella, “Mrs. Ford, come on up. I‘ll take you to a quiet area.”
Stella was startled to see Ben here. “Aren‘t you with Weston?”
Ben said, “Mr. Ford gave his orders. Someone he trusts must accompany Mrs. Ford in his absence.”
Weston had to deal with the matters over there, so he left Ben with Stella.
Stella nodded and said nothing as she got in the car. As the car drove away, she looked at the dozens of black cars
outside and asked Ben, “Who are these people?”
Ben paused a little and gave it a thought, wondering if he should tell her the truth.
After a slight hesitation, he answered, “These are the people Warren sent... and the Cohen family.”
Stella understood immediately. She propped her cheek and looked out the window. “Are they still looking for me?”
Ben nodded, “Mrs. Ford, rest assured, they won‘t get what they want with Mr. Ford around.”
Stella did not say anything.
Ben looked at Stella in the rearview mirror and was a little lost for words. When they arrived at the destination, Ben accompanied Stella out of the car.
