Ch. 1141..1150
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1141
“Chris, do you know that Weston is going to hold a press conference?”
As soon as she arrived at Ford Mansion, Guinevere got out of the car and rushed straight to Chris‘ study.
Chris was in a terrible fix after what happened lately, and now he only focused on accompanying Wendy. He knew that she might have noticed something, but he would not let anything go wrong with his marriage at this juncture.
This was all he could take.
“I know.”
Guinevere grabbed his hand and said earnestly, “I think Weston will definitely not give up. Is he planning on getting back at us?”
Chris thought that she was overthinking and pulled his hand out. “Stella killed herself. Why would he?”
She froze for a moment, not knowing how to explain this. She was the one who drove her to her suicide. If only she didn‘t kill her own son and framed Stella for it...
Guinevere inhaled deeply to stop herself from thinking about it.
No one knew that she had done such a thing.
It took a long time before she looked at the wom front of her in shock. “Did you actually hit me?”
Chris was equally shocked, not anticipating Wendy‘s sudden outburst.
He walked up to Wendy hurriedly and grabbed her wrist.“ What are you doing?” “What am I doing? Ask her yourself!” Wendy laughed, then looked at him. “Your son has already told us everything at the press conference.” Guinevere‘s heart skipped a beat. “The conference isn‘t until tomorrow night...”
“It‘s been brought forward.”
Wendy walked up to Guinevere slowly, with red eyes as if smeared with poison. “I really didn‘t expect you two to do such a thing under my nose!” After she said that, she slapped Guinevere again. “What a shameless b*tch!” Guinevere was struck so hard that she fell onto the ground this time.
She looked back at Wendy with extreme shock written in her eyes. “What are you talking about? I don‘t understand a thing...”
“You can‘t understand? Watch the press conference, then! Everyone knows about it.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1142
Wendy took a step backward and looked at Guinevere, then at Chris, who was standing in place, dumbfounded.” Great, just great. Zachary, who I‘ve been raising as a grandson, is actually the son of you two! Hah! Hahaha!”
She burst out laughing. She laughed fiercely, and her tears were falling uncontrollably.
The more she spoke, the paler Chris‘ face became.
He wanted to go up and explain to her, but his feet seemed nailed to the spot, preventing him from walking. His hands started to tremble. It was summer, but his back was soaked with sweat.
He never thought that Wendy would discover it. Of course, he knew this would happen someday, but he never expected it to happen now.
The secret he had kept for so long had been revealed so easily.
Suddenly, something flashed across his mind-if Weston announced this in the press conference, didn‘t this mean that everyone must‘ve known about it already? Having figured it out, Guinevere shrieked loudly, covering her ears and screaming like crazy.
It was the very thing she had refused to face, yet it would be exposed like a gaping wound.
She stood up, looked at the people in front of her in uncertainty, and then broke down and ran out.
All the reporters at the press conference were stunned. The man in front of them was still as cold and reserved as he always was. It was as if his disappearance for the last few days meant nothing. Donning a full suit, he sat in the middle. Though all the microphones and cameras were pointing at him, he moved around with practiced ease, as if he were a noble.
“I have said everything I needed to say. Any questions?”
“Mr. Ford, is it true what you just said?”
“Of course.”
The reporter was so shocked that he could not speak.
“You just said that Zachary is the son of your father and Guinevere. Then why was it rumored before that he was yours?”
“It was just a rumor. I never admitted it. I never clarified it simply for the sake of preserving his dignity.”
When he said that, everyone came to a realization.
Guinevere had been, in fact, the only player all this while.
Weston had never cooperated with her, and he did this by showing no affection.
At first, they thought it was simply not in Weston‘s interest , but little did they expect that Zachary was not his son.
“So then, the feud between you three...”
“There is only one thing I want to clarify in this press conference: my wife, Stella, has no reason to kill Zachary,” Weston interrupted indifferently. 1
He knew the public was under the impression that she killed Zachary out of jealousy.
Only he knew that he was the actual person she intended to kill.
He didn‘t care at all whether she killed Zachary by mistake; all he had to do now was tell the truth and keep Guinevere from slandering Stella.
“Guinevere and I were never like what the tabloids put. It was always a means to cover up a family scandal.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1143
The reporters were astounded, not expecting to hear such shocking news.
“Then why does Guinevere keep claiming that you are the father of her child? It doesn‘t make sense!”
After a long silence, Weston said, “I didn‘t want to tell you this at first. But since it has harmed my wife‘s reputation, I must clarify this. Guinevere had been pursuing me for a long time, but I never responded, so she got very upset and slept with my father instead with the intention of punishing me. After that night, she got pregnant. Because of her rare blood type, she could only have one child, so she had to keep the baby. I planned to tell everything to my mother at first, but I was afraid she couldn‘t take it because of her heart disease. So, I decided to keep it a secret. Anyway, I did not expect that Guinevere would suffer a memory distortion later, where she couldn‘t recall who she slept with that night, thinking it was me. My father begged me, hoping I‘d shoulder the responsibility since he didn‘t want this to affect his family and marriage...”
When he said this, he paused for a long time.
A hint of gloominess flashed across his eyes before he continued, “It‘s partly my fault for not handling the matter well that my wife became the victim. I shouldn‘t have dragged her into this before I could sort it out.”
The reporters were still holding their equipment, and camera flashes and shutters went off in a frenzy.
Apart from that, however, it was silent all around. They were probably speechless at the mind–blowing truth.
Apparently, Stella was the innocent one from the beginning until the end.
She hadn’t done anything else except marry Weston, yet she suffered unbearable criticisms and finally perished.
“Mr. Ford, were all those things after Guinevere’s doings?”
“I will submit the evidence to the court.”
Weston’s cold voice matched the look in his eyes that were devoid of warmth. “It will be announced officially in the future.”
Everyone understood that he was about to take action against Guinevere.
Bradley was also standing among the crowd. As he was listening to Weston, he laughed sarcastically.
What was the point of thinking about taking action against Guinevere now? 1
Stella was already dead, and these people killed her!
If they thought that Stella was jealous of Zachary’s
identity of being the son of Weston and Guinevere, it did not hold water now.
Bradley never believed that Stella could be that kind of person.
Then, he saw Weston, surrounded by the reporters, standing up and saying calmly, “If there are no other questions, I shall end the press conference.”
He continued, “My wife is still waiting for me in the car.”
The atmosphere became eerily silent the moment he said. that.
Wasn’t Stella his wife?
Wasn’t Stella dead?
They exchanged glances, unable to fathom what Weston meant.
Regardless, some of them heard inside stories that Weston had not been in the right mind recently.
Stella was obviously dead, but he was treating her as if she were alive.
He took her to his home daily and lived with her as usual. This sounded a bit creepy.
With that said, although they found it horrifying, no one dared to say anything.
It was then that Ben rushed in anxiously and said to
Weston, “Mr. Ford, something terrible has happened! Someone set your car on fire! It‘s burning!!”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1144
Weston went pale as a sheet and marched outside, followed by an anxious Ben.
The reporters did not know what was happening and swarmed out, pursuing him.
Weston had almost lost his mind when he ran out. His eyes were tinted with a dark color.
He wanted to bring Stella along with him at first, but her current state didn’t allow her to meet outsiders.
In their eyes, she was a corpse now. To him, however, she was his wife, dead or alive.
With that in mind, he had left her in the car and planned to return to her soon. However, he did not expect such an accident to occur.
Maybe it wasn’t a mere accident.
Standing beside the black Gust was Guinevere, holding a jerry can and laughing so hard that she was tearing up.
When she saw Weston run out, she broke out into a hysterical fit, yelling, “I have done so much for you, yet you did this to me, all for a dead person?!”
She thought they would’ve taken the secret to the grave with them.
She was unwilling to accept the fact that she slept with Chris, so she kept lying to herself until she believed in her own lie.
However, she vaguely recalled the scene of that night after some time. Unwilling to accept the truth, she kept deceiving herself..
Then, completely out of expectation, Weston destroyed her dream in front of everyone
She fell to the ground and watched as the man she had been dreaming about stormed towards the black luxury car like a madman.
She laughed tearfully. “Hah… You really love her. How could you love her so much…”
She wanted to demand an explanation from him, an explanation of why he had to do such a thing to her.
But the moment he got out of the car, she saw Stella, who had been dead for days, sitting in the worldwide limited edition Gust owned by Weston
She was so jealous at that moment that she almost went crazy.
What the hell???
How could a person who was already dead still get Weston’s love?
It also seemed that Guinevere only realized that Weston was already deeply in love with Stella after her death.
She had never seen Weston like this before.
Even when the two were in the best state of their relationship , Weston would merely be courteous to her.
Now that she thought about it, maybe Weston was acting out of guilt, or perhaps he only accommodated her because of his father.
Why?
Why?
The more she thought about it, the more resentful she felt.
Her eyes were bloodshot.
She wanted to destroy Stella totally, even if it meant burning her body.
As the flame was flaring up, she saw the man rushing straight over.
She had only seen Weston like that once before.
It was when they were on the balcony two years ago, when he had to choose between her and Stella while they – were both in the hands of the kidnapper.
Stella jumped straight off the balcony.
She did not expect that Stella would do this. She told the kidnappers to bring her to a secluded corner to dispose of her.
She never thought that Stella would resist in such an aggressive manner.
It was on that fateful day when she saw Weston lose control of himself.
If the person next to him had not moved quickly enough, he would have jumped down with Stella.
The scene from two years ago suddenly overlapped with the scene before her.
She saw Weston rushing towards the burning limousine as if he wanted to die.
Guinevere let out a shrill cry.
“Aaahhh!!!”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1145
Guinevere covered her ears as though deafening sirens were blaring all around her.
Ben hurriedly got some men to come over to restrain Weston so that he could not move any nearer. “Mr. Ford! Mr. Ford!”
She could only see the man frantically shake off the bodyguards, wanting to dive into the fire.
Finally, from the craziness in the beginning, it gradually turned into calmness.
“She is dead. She is totally gone, not even leaving you with ashes!”
Guinevere started laughing. She was not the only one in the world who loved the unattainable. She also wanted to witness Weston suffer the same pain. She felt satisfied.
Weston fell to the ground and watched the car burning with red eyes.
Seeing him finally stop struggling, Ben knelt beside him and begged, “Calm down, Mr. Ford, don’t act recklessly.”
The fire burnt the last bit of Stella into nothingness. It suddenly started to rain.
It had been a sunny day, just like the weather on the day she confessed in court. It started out as a little drizzle and got heavier and heavier.
Weston stayed on his knees, not moving.
By the time the smoke cleared, the car had long been empty with nothing left inside. He ended up not even being able to keep her body.
Time flew and soon three years had passed.
It was sunny in Compassvale.
In Lavender Mansion, a woman was lying on a recliner wearing a straw hat and sunglasses , enjoying the sound of the breeze.
There was a grand piano sitting beside her. A young girl ran to her from a distance, smiling. She hugged the woman‘s leg and shouted adorably,” Mommy, Elias!”
She held her finger and pointed in the direction of the little boy not far away.
Stella took off her sunglasses, sat up, and beckoned to the little boy. “Elias, come here.” 1
The little boy not far away sniffed and reluctantly put down the ball in his hand, slowly paced up to him, and buzzed. “Mommy… “
“Emma said that you bullied her just now.”
“I didn’t!” Elias waved his hands quickly.
The two were still speaking a bit indistinctly, and somewhat slurred.
Anyway, Stella could understand them.
Stella was about to lecture him with a stern face when the crisp sound of a man came from not far away.
“I just saw that it was Emma who snatched away Elias‘ cookies.”
The man squatted down in front of the two.
The sister gave a cheerful cry, rushed into the man’s arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, gave him a kiss on the cheek, and called out to him. “Big brother!”
The man smiled and pinched her nose. “I am about the same age as your mother, why are you calling me brother? Don’t you think that’s confusing?”
He had to correct Emma every time she did this.
However, it was of little use.
The next time the two little ones saw him, they would still call him that.
He sighed and stood up. The moment she looked at Stella, his face turned serious. “There is one thing I need to tell you. Do you still remember Ahn City?”
Stella’s face turned grave and nodded.
She walked to Emma and wiped off the cookie crumbs at the corner of her mouth. “What is it?”
“Something goes wrong with our collaboration this time. You may have to go back for a while… are you okay with that?”
She did not waver as she put the tissue in the trash and went back to tidy Elias’s clothes. “I’m okay with that.” It had been three years. The one in Ahn City should have already forgotten about her, right?
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1146
Stella closed her eyes, and all those things that happened in the past flooded into her mind.
It seemed to be happening before her own eyes, but the image had faded a lot... like in a dream.
She never thought that such a bizarre thing could happen to her. But it did happen. By the time she woke up, she was in a strange land
She was surrounded by foreigners of different skin and eye colors, and there was only one old man of her kind.
The men told her that she had escaped Weston‘s control.
She struggled to sit up, instinctively not believing the strangers in front of her. At that moment, a man who looked uncannily similar to Roger suddenly appeared.
The resemblance threw Stella into a momentary trance. She gazed at him and called his name. “Roger...”
The man gave her a somewhat sympathetic look, sighed, and said to her, “I‘m sorry. I‘m not him. He‘s dead.”
She clenched her fists, a little reluctant to believe him.“ Am I in heaven?”
She grabbed his hand and refused to let go. “You‘re Roger. There‘s no mistaking it.”
The man sighed and pushed her hands away. He looked at her and said solemnly, “I am not him. I am his brother, Miguel. Some say we look identical, but we really are two different people.”
She still refused to believe it.
The man told her with a serious face, “You should know that Roger is not the biological son of your parents. Many years ago, my parents came to Compassvale and gave birth to me. I never knew I had a brother until recently. After searching for him for a long time, I didn’t expect to find him in the delta. Weston was also looking for him. when we found him, so we provided protection. However, he was unwilling to trust us and left in the end. Unsurprisingly, he was found by Weston’s men. At that time, he didn’t want to be a burden to you, so he chose the foolish way and ended his life. By the time we found him, it was already too late. Regardless, we wanted to fulfill his last wish to separate you from Weston. Hence, we planned this for a long time and finally executed it. Everyone in Ahn City thinks you are dead, but you are actually living a new life with a new identity.”
Stella still felt that it was outlandish and felt like she was dreaming.
“But I had clearly taken so many oleanders. How am I still …”
The man laughed. “Of course, it was because we switched
your oleander and gave it some special treatment. Anyway, you don’t have to know about this now. The most important thing is to recuperate.”
At first, Stella remained doubtful of what she was hearing and insisted that the person in front of her was Roger, but as time went on and she regained strength, she slowly came to believe him.
With a face so similar to Roger’s, Stella became a little less wary of him.
But it was also during the time they spent later that she gradually felt that this man was indeed not Roger, but his brother.
After accepting this fact, Stella became silent.
Her health had recovered a lot, but she showed signs of depression again after some time.
Miguel knew very well that it was because she felt that there was nothing in the world that she could hold on to.
Watching her lose weight day by day, Miguel got really anxious.
She was someone Roger cared about the most, so he certainly wanted to take good care of her.
One day, the doctor suddenly told him the news that Stella was pregnant.
He was startled at first since he knew all about her condition before saving her. She had a rare blood type which made it difficult for her to have babies.
He did not expect her to be pregnant. Hadn‘t she already had a miscarriage?
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1147
“Yes,” said the doctor, “We found that her body must’ve been treated with great care, and it recovered well. The baby is very healthy. This is indeed unprecedented… a miracle.”
Miguel told Stella about it immediately.
He still remembered her expression when she learned about it.
At first, she was dumbfounded, as if in disbelief.
After a long time, she put her hand on her stomach and looked down, unable to tell what she was feeling.
Just when she thought she would have to live like this for the rest of her life, God blessed her with such a gift.
She felt as if her whole body had been injected with a powerful life force, especially when she heard the doctor say that there were two fetal hearts which meant she had twins.
Having a home was what she wanted the most.
And the most important thing about home was family.
From that day on, Stella began to cooperate with the treatment actively.
She is getting better day by day, both physically and mentally.
Her babies were healthy. Later, they found that the twins were a boy and a girl.
Miguel couldn’t forget the contented and serene look on Stella’s face the first time she looked at the ultrasound image of her babies.
He knew he shouldn’t have any feelings for her. He only treated her as his older sister, like how Roger did.
But somehow, every time he saw her, he had the illusion that his heart was racing.
This was why he was unwilling to let the twins address him as uncle after she gave birth to them.
In the end, the twins called him “Brother.”
Although it made him a little unsatisfied, he just let them
Perhaps their life over here was too happy. He only realized what they might have to face next when he heard the news from Ahn City.
If they went back to Ahn City, they might run into Weston.
That man…
Although they chose not to hear anything about him all these years, he was still the father of the twins…
Stella knew what he was thinking and said nonchalantly, “Miguel, I am not the same person I was. Moreover, Ahn City is so big. We won’t necessarily run into him, and even if we do, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
She stood up and looked into his eyes. “No one can force me to do anything now.”
Three years of growth had completely transformed her.
Because of the children in her womb, she drew unprecedented strength and honed her courage.
She wanted her children to be proud of her, and she couldn’t afford to be a parasite that only relied on others.
She had something she was good at. In just three years, she became an internationally acclaimed piano virtuoso.
At one point, she even broke the prejudice of foreigners against people of her kind, garnered awards in major competitions, and became the well–deserved best pianist with absolute talent and strength.
Stella knew she could only protect her children if she grew in stature.
She would never again let anyone or anything hurt her family.
Absolutely not.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1148
Compassvale was a city with good weather all year long.
Being there for three years, the one thing Stella felt the most sentimental about was the slow pace.
As a single mother, life was hard wherever she went.
It was fortunate that Miguel had helped her a lot in the initial stage, at least during her pregnancy, and provided her with a reassuring environment.
She later learned that the old man Roger met in the delta was part of his biological parents‘ family.
He was Miguel and Roger’s grandfather.
Their parents, too, had their own sad story.
“More than ten years ago, my father fell in love with my mother, but my grandfather disapproved of their relationship and tried to break up the couple. My father was an exchange student, and my mother was a local of Ahn City. They fell in love at first sight and have been dating behind my grandfather’s back since then.
“But my grandfather still found out about their relationship and used every means he could to break them up.
“The family was very powerful. They initially disagreed
with my father going to Ahn City as an exchange student and wanted him to return to take over the family business. When they knew that he was in love with a civilian girl, they became even more unhappy.
“But my mother was already pregnant at that time. My grandfather wanted her to abort the pregnancy, so they went into hiding. After the baby was born, my parents were worried that my grandfather would snatch him away and harm him, so they put my brother on the doorstep of a professor couple they trusted a lot…
“They were your parents.
“They took my brother in.”
Miguel continued, “And then my parents have been hiding from my grandfather. But in the meantime, they accidentally got pregnant again…”
“This time, my grandfather found out where they were and put my mother under house arrest, and forced her to abort the baby.
“I was only saved after my father threatened him with his life. Later, he was forced to marry another woman. Both my parents were devastated and eventually died of severe depression.”
Miguel sighed when he said that. “It was only after my parents died that my grandfather came to his senses and took me in to raise me.”
Stella could not react for a long time. It was the first time she was hearing this story.
“Then… how did your grandfather know about Roger’s existence?”
“It was because of my father’s last words just before he died. He was worried that my grandfather still held prejudice against him, so he didn’t dare to talk about that child. My grandfather only found out about his existence long after his death.”
In fact, when it came to Roger, Miguel had very little memory of him.
After all, he had not even met him personally.
When he received news from his grandfather and rushed to delta, Roger had already left the place, fearing
Weston’s pursuit. And because of Weston, he committed suicide.
Thus, he hadn’t even met Roger, not even once.
In fact, he was even more familiar with Stella. Because of Roger’s last wish, Miguel also treated her as his sister. Grandpa’s intention, too, was to treat Stella as the young lady of the family. He wanted to compensate her for everything he couldn’t do for Roger.
Although she was a very determined woman, Stella decided that she’d accept their help for a while.
After giving birth to the twin boy and girl, she soon got ready to perform.
She knew she was taking advantage of the opportunities accorded by the Gracia family, but she repaid them tenfold later.
All around the world, Stella’s incredible talent on the piano was an indisputable fact.
She even gained the adoration of the Queen.
She soon became the new celebrity that the other stars in the entertainment circle would talk about, thus gaining herself a great reputation and fame.
But she didn’t stop there or intend to sit on her laurels.
In addition to winning the Golden Wheat Award in piano, she also had a deep knowledge of dance.
Thus, in a span of just three years, the name Cicily gained international acclaim.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1149
It was the name Miguel picked for her.
Cicily, blind of self beauty.
It was how he felt about her.
The only thing was that he did not expect that the meaning of the name would spread through the circle.
Many people knew that the beautiful pianist, Cicily, possessed beauty she was unaware of.
It was even so popular that, at one point, parents often used this name when naming their children.
“Today’s performance was a success!”
In Infinity Hall, a performer walked to Stella and gave her a warm hug. “Cicily, you are such a miracle!”
Stella was the first from her nation to stand on the stage as the youngest performer in Infinity Hall.
Her graceful dance performance and dexterity on the piano moved foreigners who weren’t shy about expressing their emotions.
After a while, he excitedly invited her. “Cicily, I have asked you out many times, can you please have dinner with me this time?”
Stella always remained single, although she had children.
A number of gentlemen pursued her over the years.
Edward was one of them.
This man had been attending every show since her first tour. A massive fan in his own right, he was acquainted with her playing style and was extremely appreciative of her.
Stella had no plans to start a relationship at the moment, however. She shook her head and smiled at him, saying, “Thank you for your affection, but I simply have no intention to start a romantic relationship at the moment. I’m really sorry.‘
Edward was very disappointed. “Why? Cicily, you are so charming and young. Are you going to waste your great youth on children?”
Stella frowned. “I don’t think it’s a waste to be concerned about my children, I’d be in a relationship if I wanted to, but it’ll not be with you.”
This was the first time she had said something so obvious, even sounding rather aggressive in her rejection.
She had always refused politely before.
Edward smiled and touched his nose. “Okay, Cicily, but I won’t give up…”
Just as the words escaped his mouth, two small children suddenly hopped to her.
“Mommy!”
Elias hugged Stella’s left leg while Emma held her hand. ” Congratulations, Mommy!”
The little one would congratulate her at the end of every performance.
Stella smiled in return, stroked their hair, and squatted in front of them.
“Why are you up here? Didn’t I tell Miguel to take you guys outside to wait for me?”
Sucking her thumb, Emma pointed to Edward with her finger and then looked at Miguel, who was standing not far away.
Stella understood at once.
Miguel had deliberately let them come to rescue her.
Instead of feeling embarrassed, however, Edward became more enthusiastic, greeting the two children. “So cute! Your children look so much like you!”
Stella smiled and did not say anything.
In fact, they both looked more like Weston, especially their delicate eyebrows, a feature inherited by the males of the Ford family.
Anyway, the children were still young, so their faces were chubby, bearing some resemblance to her.
With that said, they couldn’t be identified as Weston’s children at a glance.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1150
Regardless, there were still many similarities if they looked carefully.
It was not hard to tell that the children would greatly resemble Weston growing up.
“Thank you, Edward. I shall bring my children to dinner now.”
“If you don’t mind, can I invite you and your children to dine with me?”
Stella shook her head, “That won’t be necessary.
“I already have a date with someone,” she added with a smile.
Edward was a little taken aback.
He glanced in the direction of the door.
Miguel was standing at the end of the golden hall, wearing a white suit.
He took another look at Stella’s attire today. Her white dress made her look like an angel that had descended into the mortal world.
This woman didn’t like to wear too much makeup. For such occasions, she would only put on a light film of makeup.
Edward found her very enchanting every time he saw her. He adored the classical beauty of a foreign lady.
“Why are you willing to date someone else but not give me a chance? I know this man. His name is Miguel, the heir of the Garcia family. I heard that the Garcia family only considers you as an adopted daughter. You should be like siblings…”
“You think too much, Mr. Edward.”
Her face suddenly changed, and she said to him, “We are a family. Why can’t a family have dinner together? I’m going to have dinner with him with my children. Goodbye.”
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Edward looked resentfully at her as she left, knowing he had said the wrong thing.
But he did not know what he had said wrong.
He seemed to have irritated Stella, but what he said wasn’t wrong either.
However, he did not know that his words just now reminded Stella of the feelings Roger had for her when he was alive.
She had never told anyone about it except for Riley, mainly because Weston knew about Roger’s feelings for her. Thus, he was hostile to Roger and vowed never to let him go.
It was once her darkest nightmare.
To her, Roger was the most important person in this world.
At least until the birth of her two children, he was her most important family member.
But because of this, she could only push him away from her.
This action had also caused Weston to drive him to the brink.
Whenever she thought of the past, a sharp pain would still sting her heart.
Miguel keenly noticed that something was wrong with her and rushed forward to take Emma from her arms.
He looked at Stella, asking, “What’s wrong with you? Did he say something to you just now?”
She shook her head. “It’s nothing.”
Seeing that she was fine, Miguel said, “I’ve booked the restaurant on the top floor to celebrate your performance – today.”
The two laughed and joked as they walked outside before arriving at the restaurant.
The two little ones were already fist–pumping, their stomach growling with hunger.
Miguel ordered a steak, carefully cut it into small pieces, and exchanged them with the one in front of Stella.
While watching his movements, Stella was in a bit of a daze.
It suddenly occurred to her that Weston would habitually do the same thing.
“Does this denote the character of a gentleman?”
