Ch. 1171..1180
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1171
It seemed this was the first time she looked at her properly.
Stella sized her up several times. If this was the past, she wouldn’t have cared about these small thoughts of Daisy.
She had long sensed the schemes of this woman.
It was just that she refused to entertain her like some jealous woman.
This time, she didn’t return to Ahn City to play dumb in front of these women.
She smiled and said indifferently, “You don’t have to sound me out. If you want to pursue Weston, just do it openly. I have no problem with it. I have nothing to do with him. Didn’t you say everyone thought I was dead? It’s been three years. Let’s assume I’m dead, and we shall not see each other again.”
After she said that, the man with gloomy eyes interrupted. His sound was rather hoarse, with a hint of persistence
“What do you mean? Are you still going to leave?”
He looked at her sullenly. A powerful aura formed around him, with an overwhelming pressure that was hard to resist.
He vokielais emotions so castly... Daisy watched at the side, feeling a little sour in her heart.
Three years had passed, yet she could not stir up any unusual emotions in Weston. Just by appearing, this woman could turn him completely amlike himself.
Weston only cared about whether Stella would leave. He did not notice her feelings for him from her remark just now at all...
“As you can see, Ms. Sealey, Mr. Ford still cannot get over you. As for what you said about me pursuing him or not, that‘s all…”
She paused for a moment and took a glance at Weston. Seeing liim still not spare a glance at her... it would be a lic if she said she wasn‘t hurt.
Regardless, she still pretended to be strong. “My feelings are my own. It will not affect you. The most important thing to me is to see Mr. Ford happy.”
“That‘s pretty considerate of you.”
Stella yawned, a little disinterested. “I wish you get your heart‘s desire.”
As soon as she said that, the man‘s face darkened.
The atmosphere turned even colder, so cold that it was about to freeze.
Stella, however, seemed to be completely unaware of it and was not very interested in Weston.
She looked at Emma, sucking her thumb, and frowned, pulling her hand away from her mouth. “Didn’t I tell you that you cannot suck your thumb anymore? You are a big girl now!”
Emma chuckled and put her hand behind her back.
Elias shook his head as he was watching. With an adult like tone, he said, “You are indeed two hours younger than me, acting so immaturely!”
The moment he said that, the people in the restaurant understood at once.
These two children were twins. No wonder they both were so nice–looking.
Both of them had delicate faces which still had not shed the chubbiness of babies, urging kisses from whoever saw them.
Even people like Henry and Xavier, who found kids. annoying, couldn’t hate these two children.
Daisy’s eyes fluttered. She keenly sensed the subtle changes in Stella.
If it was in the past, she would never have said these words to her.
She did not know if Stella was playing dumb, if the current Stella was also probing her, or if she simply did not take her seriously.
But what she was sure of was that she was a completely different person from the one she was three years ago.
Daisy inhaled deeply and decided she wouldn’t be polite any longer.
She asked the question that everyone else wanted to ask. Ms. Sealey, please excuse my brashness, but are these two Mr. Ford’s children?”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1172
As soon as she asked, the restaurant fell silent. It was so quiet that they could hear a strand of hair falling onto the ground.
Even their breathing slowed down.
She could clearly feel the sudden tightening of the man‘s body beside her.
Daisy would always keep her eyes on Weston, watching his every move. She could almost sense his breathing slowing down at that moment as well. The white shirt that concealed his strong and toned muscles was now taut.
Daisy had imagined countless times that Weston could use his sinewy arms to hug her and get it on. But it was only imagination she had in the dark and silence.
Everything that was happening, and all of Weston‘s madness and gaffes were in no thanks to this woman in front of him.
Only because of her...
This thought made Daisy froth over with jealousy.
Stella was tying Emma’s hair into a bun. Her face did not change much when she heard the question. “Why did you ask if you know you are being presumptuous? You don’t seem to be as thoughtful as before, Ms. Daisy.”
Emma was unaware of everything. She simply hugged Stella’s leg and played with the tassel pendant on her dress.
Elias stopped talking when he noticed that the vibe of the adults had changed, and he stayed beside Stella quietly.
She had raised these two kids well.
They were well–behaved and obedient. When Weston glanced at them, his eyes unconsciously softened.
Stella, however, did not notice his demeanor and stood up slowly, smiling. “That is indeed a ridiculous question.”
She curled her hair with her hand, running her silky hair through her fingers with charming indolence and complete indifference.
“Of course, they are not his.”
Stella looked into Daisy’s eyes, not provocatively, not dismissively, but just with a sense of bone–deep indifference.
She said it loud and clear, without even a hint of hesitation, and cared little for the man’s cold and sunken eyes.
He looked at her as if he wanted to devour her alive.
The endless void in his eyes seemed to be brewing a raging wave.
The air around them instantly became still. Even Daisy did not expect her to answer so confidently.
She thought that she would hesitate a little, but it suddenly dawned on her–it was Stella’s attitude that intrigued people to find out the background of these two children.
Moreover, when Weston said he wanted to do a DNA test just now, Stella totally rejected it.
Although she denied that the children were his, it was difficult to be sure.
Daisy was a bit confused, thinking that this woman was very elusive.
What exactly was the identity of these two children? Stella had lost the ability to bear children. They shouldn’t be…
The atmosphere all around was a little dead.
Even Elias and Emma sensed the unusualness and felt uneasy.
Nobody spoke a word, and the whole space was about to freeze.
The servers dared not come out for fear of getting into trouble, thinking there was a war.
In the end, it was Stella who broke the silence. She unmasked her pretense and looked at them impatiently.” I‘m really sorry, but I don‘t have the time to have dinner with you.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1173
She held the hands of the twins, one in each hand, and said, “Let’s go back to our private room.”
Weston was, of course, unwilling to let them go.
He stepped forward without hesitation and grabbed her small wrist, only to realize that it seemed thinner than before.
When they met again, he thought she was doing well as her complexion looked good.
But the fragile and tender bones in her wrist indicated she hadn’t been living too well for the past three years.
She must have suffered quite a lot.
Falling into deep thought, he forget what he wanted to say.
She looked at him impatiently and shook off his hand languidly and somewhat indifferently. “Mr. Ford, why don’t you say anything after calling out to me?”
She sniggered, not showing any annoyance, but with a hint of awkwardness. “I have an appointment, and I don’t have the time to talk riddles with you here. By the way, I heard that today is your birthday. I shall wish you a happy birthday, then.”
Weston tightened his grasp, and his eyes darkened. “Who are you meeting?”
She shook off his hand and laughed. “What does it have to do with you?”
“You are my wife.”
He gazed into her eyes and said emphatically, “Don’t you forget that you are my lawful wedded wife.”
She laughed with a calm face. She smiled occasionally, but it was insincere.
“We got divorced five years ago. After that, you married a woman called Ella. She’s dead. Have you forgotten?”
She was now Stella. She had gotten back her real name.
In all seriousness, she was only his ex–wife.
Miguel had been waiting for some time on the second floor of the restaurant. When seeing Stella come in, he said discontentedly, “Don’t tell me you have just arrived.”
The private room was spacious. The appetizer for children had been served on the table, and the napkins had been used. It seemed like he was a little drunk and wasn’t thinking straight.
Stella came with the two little ones in her hands. ”
Something happened, and I went to take care of it just now. Shall we go now?”
Miguel sat up straight and put his jacket aside casually.
He obviously had just returned from a meeting at the bar.
When she got close enough, she could smell the strong smell of alcohol and tobacco on him.
He seemed to be irritated. As he tugged on his collar, he fixed his light–colored eyes on her. “I have just arrived. Why are we leaving?”
He grabbed his hair. “Why don’t you three have dinner with me? I didn’t even get to eat at the dinner party just now. I only drank…”
She frowned. “No, you stink of smoke and liquor. The kids will smell it.”
In fact, she simply did not want to see Weston again.
Besides, it was a little tricky to escape from him.
If it was not because of Emma’s crying at the right time, he would not get agitated, and she would not be able to get away from him so quickly.
With her understanding of his character, she was already expecting that Weston would come to his senses soon and investigate her thoroughly.
Moreover, with this drunk here, she did not want to stay there for a second longer.
If Weston bumped into Miguel, she couldn’t imagine what would happen.
Three years had passed, and Stella didn’t care for
Weston’s feelings.
However, that man was terribly possessive, and she bet he would spring into action.
Fortunately, she was no longer the woman he once had full control of.
She had her own career and status now and a family she cherishes.
She wasn’t about to let him have his way and do as he pleased like he always did.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1174
Stella dismissed all these troubling thoughts and exhaled sharply.
She looked at the man on the couch with the smell of alcohol, feeling a little helpless.
“Get up. We shall go back to the apartment first. I will cook you something.”
Miguel’s eyes shone the moment he heard that. “Really?”
Even through the fog of drunkenness, he still retained some of his consciousness. “You haven’t cooked for me for a long time…”
He sounded a bit aggrieved.
He liked her cooking.
Although she wasn’t nearly as good as a professional chef, her home–cooked concoctions had a unique taste, especially her noodles, and though he did not know what recipe she used, it was always different from the other cooks.
Stella knew he was craving her food and said to him, still holding hands with Elias and Emma, “We will wait for you downstairs. You come down quickly.”
She knew he needed time to sober up after all the drinking.
He closed his eyes to rest for a moment.
After that, he opened the window and let out a breath. ”
You guys go first. I will come down in a minute after a smoke.”
She frowned immediately. “If you want to smoke, we will leave without you, and you can call the driver to pick you up yourself.”
“Man, you are so heartless.”
“I said it already. You reek of alcohol and tobacco.”
She disliked the smell of alcohol and tobacco very much and did not want Elias and Emma to smell it.
After hearing that, Miguel could only extinguish his cigarette. “Forget it. I shall come with you.”
When they were at the basement parking, she subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror and was slightly relieved to see no sign of Weston.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Miguel, who had been staring at her since who knew when.
Seeing her turn around, he smiled and asked her, “Why am I feeling that you’re acting weird today?”
He reached out his hand to trace the outline of her face.
She immediately dodged it, frowned a little, and covered her nose. “You stink! Stay away from me.”
That was what she said, but in fact, she simply didn’t want to get too close to him.
Even with his mind muddled, Miguel could detect her detachment and avoidance.
She really seemed to treat him like a brother.
When he thought of this, he could taste the bitterness on his tongue.
Looking at Elias and Emma, who were already asleep in their child seats, he closed his eyes and put his arm over them, blocking out all the light in front of him. It was then that his heart felt like sinking into the darkness.
“Don’t see me as a brother. See me as a man, can you?”
She frowned.
Jusst as she was about to say something, he interrupted her as if he knew what she was going to say. “Alright. Don’t say it. I know you are going to reject me again…”
After a pause, he said with a playful tone, “I have no intention of confessing my love to you either, so it’s very unreasonable for you to reject me.”
As long he was fast enough, she wouldn’t be able to reject him.
His childish remark amused Stella a little.
After a while, she looked him in the eyes very seriously. I’m really sorry. It’s really impossible between the two of us. As you know, I’ve always seen you as my brother. I really… You can’t force this kind of thing.”
He was still covering his eyes with his arm.
Therefore, Stella did not notice the fluttering of his eyelashes and the redness of the corners of his eyes under his arm.
After a while, he adjusted his tone and said with amusement. “It is very difficult to separate love and kinship. After a long time, love can also become kinship. So, why can’t kinship turn into love?”
“There are so many friendships in this world that turn into love,” he said gruffly. “As long as there is no blood relation, I believe everything is possible. Besides…”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1175
He paused for a while and put his arm down suddenly.
Gazing at her, he said earnestly, “At least I’m someone important to you. That’s enough for me to outweigh all other suitors of yours.”
He still sounded very confident in himself.
All her suitors were basically unappealing to her.
No matter in which aspect, none of them could compete with him.
The only man he found to be a threat was Weston.
He lit a cigarette. “Indeed, he’s the one who wields all the power in Ahn City…”
As soon as he took a puff, he saw Stella frowning.
He hastily put it off. “I am sorry. I was a little overwhelmed by drinking too much.”
Without saying anything, she wound down the car window to let the air in.
She did not like the smell of cigarettes and did not want Elias and Emma to be exposed.
“You are still young. Now is the time for you to sharpen your skills. Smoke and drink less. These habits are unhealthy,”
Times had changed. Drinking and smoking might have been required to get business deals in the past, but it all depended on one’s capability now.
Although socializing was still important, it was more about a person’s potential.
Miguel hummed in response.
He loved the moments when Stella cared for him. His actions were actually deliberate. He liked to see her nag at him. As he thought about it, he suddenly reached out his hand and tried to touch her hair again.
Stella was shocked and dodged him immediately, averting her eyes.
“We are almost there. Why don’t you close your eyes and sleep for a while? You’ve drunk a lot.”
Miguel dejectedly withdrew his hand and closed his eyes.
“Okay. Call me when we arrive.”
Stella carried Elias and Emma into their bedroom in the apartment and tucked them in.
They woke up as soon as they got out of the car. Emma was a bit fussy and kept crying.
Fortunately, Elias was docile and did not insist on Stella reading him a bedtime story.
The twins slept peacefully.
Stella sat beside their bed, staring at their sleeping faces.
“They look like angels only when they are asleep…”
Miguel came in through the door and stood behind her.
They are also cute when they are awake. They are even cuter when they are sleeping, though, especially Emma.”
He stood next to Emma’s bed. He intended to reach out and poke her chubby cheek but was worried that he would wake her up and make her throw another tantrum.
“Her eyes were red just now. Did she get bullied in the restaurant? I forgot to ask just now.”
He had sobered up quite a bit after having some soup and only noticed that something was amiss when he thought back on her sudden request to come back to the apartment.
They had already decided to have dinner in the restaurant, but she changed her mind on the spur of the moment. Did something happen?
She mouthed some words at him: Let’s talk outside.
They gingerly left the children’s room.
She went to the kitchen and made him some noodles.
They each had a plate with a couple of eggs nestled on top of the noodles.
Stella gently poked the egg yolk with a fork and let the golden liquid flow out.
Miguel propped his chin and looked at her. Smiling, he said, “You always like these half–cooked eggs so much.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1176
Stella smiled. “Yeah.”
The two ate the noodles quietly in a cozy atmosphere.
Miguel had eaten all sorts of expensive delicacies over the years, yet his favorite was still the taste of home cooking.
After finishing eating, she raised her head up, pulled a tissue paper, and said out of nowhere, “I met Weston today.”
The man’s hand, which was holding the fork, froze, and he looked up at her almost immediately. “When did it happen? Why didn’t you tell me until now?”
She wiped her mouth and tossed the tissue paper into the glass jar beside her. “It was just downstairs from where we were dining. Someone had booked the place, it was his birthday.”
He snorted. “I have totally forgotten about that. He turns thirty today, right?”
Then, he put down his fork and spat out two words. “Old man.”
She found it hilarious to see him looking so childish.
She covered her nose and giggled, though her reaction didn’t escape his eyes
“What are you laughing at? Was I wrong? Isn’t he an old man?”
He raised his eyebrows, puffed up his chest suddenly, and hinted at Stella.
“You know, men’s bodies start to go downhill when they reach thirty, and so does their sex drive. Luckily you had
Elias and Emma when he was in his twenties. If you want to have children in the future, you will need to find a young man in his twenties. An old man won’t be as good!”
After he said that, he saw the smile on her face slowly disappeared.
He suddenly remembered something and regretted what he had said. “Sorry, I don’t mean that…”
He knew that Stella was no longer able to have children.
It was already a miracle for her to be able to give birth to this pair of twins. But it was also because someone had taken good care of her body, just so that she was in a state to be able to conceive. It was why she could get pregnant.
He hastened to remedy the situation. “I’m not that fond of children either, and if it weren’t for Elias and Emma, I find children very annoying whenever I see them.”
She knew he was trying to remedy the situation and interrupted him. “Let’s not talk about that.”
She still refused to bring this up. It felt awkward.
Miguel sighed and changed the topic. “What was his reaction to seeing you?”
She shrugged. “No particular reaction. I expected this. But … he thought Elias and Emma were his kids.”
“How about you? What did you say?”
“Of course, I denied it.”
“He should not believe it.” He shook his head. “With that man’s character, he’ll probably investigate you.”
Just as he said that, his phone rang.
He looked at his phone and speed–read the message. Then, he raised the corner of his lips and said sarcastically, “He has already done it. He has been investigating you, and now he is investigating me. I bet he will find out everything about Cicily soon.”
She stood up indifferently, cleared the table, and went to the kitchen to do the washing up.
After that, she came back, sat in front of him, and said, “I am not the same person I was before, so what if he investigates? I am not the same Stella who is at his mercy anymore. If he wants to hurt those I care about, he’ll have to ask me first.”
A hint of sharpness flashed across her eyes.
Miguel was stunned, and a strong, complex feeling rose in his heart.
He thought that he should not have sobered up yet. Otherwise, why would he feel so hot?
“Well, since they’re both asleep, I’ll go first. Tell me if he gives you a hard time. Don’t carry it alone.”
She knew he was referring to Weston. “Don’t worry. I can handle it myself.”
After the meeting today and seeing Weston’s attitude, she already got a picture of the situation.
It seemed he still had feelings for her.
Stella smiled faintly but felt that it was a little ironic.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1177
Such a man could only truly love after a great loss, even at the cost of death, before he could realize what it meant to
cherish someone.
Regardless, belated love was lowlier than none.
Stella was no longer the one who would give all her heart upon receiving just a little warmth It was very late at night.
Weston stood on the balcony, holding a thick stack of papers in his hand.
They were all about Stella’s life experiences in the past three years.
He never thought that this woman would fake her death to escape from him.
And he was actually unaware of it.
He thought of the corpse she left behind three years ago. He did not even notice that it was not her at all until the car was burned to ashes.
She had been living a prosperous life these past few years, with the Garcia family supporting her, so it was unsurprising that he hadn’t been able to find out about her.
He was more focused on sorcery and faith, hoping that those strange powers would allow her to see him again. But it did not occur to him that she was not dead at all.
The man’s eyes darkened as he rubbed the words on the paper.
His fingertip stopped at the name Cicily, leaving behind a black mark.
The street lights against the apartment building were shining brightly, and the neighborhood was very quiet. Stella had moved in here for a few days. It was very near to Miguel’s workplace.
She came back also because of a collaborative project and was set to meet Bradley tomorrow.
It was said that he had now started to venture into new genres and had a great deal to offer in various film and television shows.
She put her phone on the table. When she was just about to check on Elias and Emma, it suddenly rang.
She had a hunch that it was Weston calling.
Sure enough, once she answered the call, she heard the man’s low voice.
“It‘s me.”
She laughed, tapping her finger lightly on the table, pretending to be surprised, “How do you know my number?”
The man‘s low and hoarse laugh came from the other end. “It‘s been three years, and you seem to have really changed.”
She became ambiguous, like a little fox, mixing truth and lies when speaking with him.
He thought that she would hate and question him when they met again, but she showed plain indifference. And she could even talk him around effortlessly.
He suddenly remembered a saying. Hate was not the end of love, indifference was.
Still smiling, she walked to the balcony and turned around. “You didn‘t call me just to say a few irrelevant things, did you, Mr. Ford?”
Under the streetlight, the man‘s shadow was stretched out infinitely.
The silent shimmering light lingered around him as he looked at the slender back on the balcony, his voice carrying a heavy hint of yearning. “Stella, look downstairs.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1178
The streetlights were dim, and pedestrians were scarce. The night sky was dotted with stars; the background was a boundless horizon.
The tall man stood in the light, his shadow stretched out infinitely with the light from his back, exuding subtle loneliness.
Stella walked to the balcony and looked down with her phone in her hand. “What business do you have that you come looking for me?”
“Why don’t you ask me how I got your address?”
She laughed. “Do I have to? Who in Ahn City would not know about your ability? It is just an address. Anyone who has it will send it to you.”
Hearing her teasing tone, Weston raised his head and looked at the slender figure on the balcony and said with a hoarse voice, “You come down, or I come up?”
She withdrew her eyes and leaned on the railing behind her, leaving him with only a back view.
A moment later, she looked at her nails and said indifferently, “I’m not going down, and you don’t have to come up. It’s good for us to be separated by a distance like this.”
Of course, he could understand what she implied.
Thus, he hung up the call without saying anything.
Seeing that he had been standing there and did not seem to be doing anything, she turned around and returned to her room.
Elias and Emma slept were sleeping soundly, with serene smiles on their little faces.
She immediately relaxed from her state of tension a while ago. As soon as she looked at them, it was as if all the worries in the world had disappeared.
She leaned forward, gave Elias and Emma a kiss on their cheeks, propped her hands on the bed, and watched for a while before gingerly leaving the room.
It was past midnight, but the man downstairs hadn’t yet left.
The moon cast a pale light over him, and there was a floor of cigarette butts.
Stella was sound asleep and did not notice the man downstairs at all, believing that he must have left long ago.
The next morning, seeing that Elias and Emma had not woken up, she cleaned up a bit and went downstairs to throw the garbage.
Out of her expectation, she saw Weston still standing under the streetlight just after she stepped out through the front door.
He was dressed in a thin black trench coat, covering his tall and strong figure. His broad shoulders and small waist made him look just like a one point eight meters tall male model in a fashion show.
His shoulders were cast with a layer of morning ray, like the afterglow left by last night‘s starlight.
Hearing the noise, Weston raised his eyes lightly and looked this way.
“Stella.”
His voice was extremely hoarse, as if all that cigarettes he had been binging on had burnt his throat. Each and every word he said was heavy with dense smoke.
She knitted her eyebrows, turned around, and looked at him.
Then, she cast her eyes down and saw the cigarette butts on the ground beside the man.
There was still a cigarette burning in between his fingers, glowing with red light.
The smoke went up and blended with the morning light, highlighting the man’s defined features.
She tucked her hair behind her ear, her movement was elegant and gentle. “Have you been standing here all night, Mr. Ford?”
“You didn’t come down and would not let me go up, so I could only wait here.”
He heard the ridicule in her words, and said lightly, without any emotion, “Anyway, I have waited for three years, I don’t mind waiting for this bit of time.”
He was not being polite.
Without her by his side, his insomnia had been incurable.
It was just another sleepless night. There was nothing to be sorry about.
It was better to be standing near her apartment.
Stella raised her eyebrows and tapped her fingertips on her arm. “Since you are so patient, then you can continue to wait.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1179
When she finished, she turned around, entered the building, and did not come out again.
When it was time to go to work, everything had already been recharged.
It wasn’t time for her appointment with Bradley yet, so she leisurely made breakfast for Elias and Emma.
When she heard the sound of a car engine downstairs, she knew it was Weston driving away.
She took two glasses of milk and placed them in front of Elias and Emma, staring at them as they drank them.
Emma’s small hands held the large glass of milk. She reluctantly finished it, and milk foam was all over her mouth.
Seeing this, Elias said in disgust, “Dirty cat, messy cat.”
He pulled out a tissue paper and wiped her mouth.
When Stella walked out of the kitchen with a plate of poached eggs and saw the interaction between the twins, her heart felt warm and tender.
So many things happened in the past few years, and she felt that her life was rather unfortunate, filled with many ups and downs.
But sometimes, she felt that she was very fortunate to have such a lovely pair of twins in the end.
Elias was too obedient, unlike a three–year–old child.
He‘d always treat Emma and her like an adult.
Her eyes were incomparably loving as she sat in front of the two. “Mommy has something to do later. I have called the aunt you like over. When she arrives, you two will stay home with her while Mommy goes out to work, okay?”
Emma was still seriously battling the breakfast in her hand and did not listen to her.
After Elias heard that, he was a bit unhappy.
But only a little.
Then, he nodded solemnly. “Okay, Mommy.”
Stella smiled and rubbed his head. “Don‘t be sad. I will come home early. Mommy has to work to earn money to give you a better life, right?”
Elias seemed to understand and nodded his head.
In Ford Corporation , Daisy was so preoccupied that she was a little distracted as soon as she got to work.
“Mr. Ford...”
After leaving the restaurant last night, she felt apprehensive about what Weston might think of her because of what happened last night.
She thought she was performing well but didn’t want to upset him.
She came to the office very early today and did not expect to see Weston coming to work so early as well.
Weston was not surprised to see her here. He only raised his eyes and looked at her lightly without saying much. After greeting her briefly, he then went to the office.
Daisy’s eyes darkened as she looked at his back.
She had been working with him for so many years. Why was she still getting such a cold and indifferent response? Did he really consider her an insignificant secretary…
As she was thinking about this, she personally made a pot of hand–ground coffee for Weston. Then, she knocked on the office door and brought it to him.
“Mr. Ford, I made this myself. It’s to your taste.‘
He did not look up. “Leave it there.”
Daisy nodded and walked to his desk to pour him a cup. Then, she asked out of nowhere, “Did you contact Ms. Sealey after we got back yesterday?”
When she mentioned Stella’s name, the man raised his head and looked at her. “What do you want?”
“Nothing, I just wanted to ask…”
Daisy’s hand shivered, and she said apologetically, Maybe I’m being a bit presumptuous, but it is still something unbelievable to see Ms. Sealey suddenly appearing alive in front of us… After all, three years ago…
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1180
Weston frowned upon hearing that.
Daisy tensed up, seeing his facial expression.
Just as she was speculating which of her words made him uncomfortable , the man suddenly opened his thin lips lightly and said, “She‘s married. You shouldn‘t call her that.”
She froze for a moment, and her eyes flickered, not expecting that he would care about this by this time…
She nodded, barely tugging her lips, and said, “My mistake ... I just didn‘t expect that Mrs. Ford did not look for you in the past three years... After we left last night, didn‘t you have a proper conversation with her?”
He curled his fingers and held them against his eyebrows, slightly closing his eyes for a moment.
She saw the dark circles under his eyes and was a little distressed.
He must‘ve only slept a little last night.
He must be thinking about that woman again.
What was so good about her that she could make him miss her so much...
She was still laughing at Nicole last night. But the actual fact was that she was similar to hers, and her mind was the same.
She disappeared for three years, and what kind of life was Weston living during these three years?
But Stella was living it up over there!
Even though she did not have the ability like Weston to investigate Stella thoroughly, she could guess that she was doing very well from her appearance… not just a good life, but a wonderful one.
Daisy felt a little bad for him when she thought about it.
“She has two children, and you don’t know what happened in the past three years. If you have time…”
He suddenly interrupted her coldly, “This is my family matter. What does it have to do with you?”
He stared directly at the woman in front of him as if he could see through her. “Just do your work, Ms. Daisy.”
She was taken aback, not expecting him to talk to her like that.
She had been by his side for the past three years, serving him carefully, asking for practically nothing.
She thought he would know her feelings, so she carefully approached him, although she had never confessed to him.
He did not refuse her, so she thought he would accept her eventually…
Was it because of Stella’s sudden return that he rejected her?
Daisy felt more and more disturbed, and said with a husky voice, “I was just worried about you. You saw what happened yesterday, Stella did not take you seriously at all…”
This time, she neither called her “Ms. Sealey” nor addressed her as “Mrs. Ford” anymore but called her directly by her name.
The man swept a cold glance at her. “If you don’t wish to work anymore, you may go to the finance department to get your pay.”
Was he firing her?
A void suddenly filled her heart, and her eyes reddened. ” Mr. Ford…”
She had maintained her emotional stability all these years in order to help him with work. But now, he was actually firing her?
And he did it all in one sentence.
Daisy felt a pang of heartbreak.
But she quickly gathered her emotions and wiped her eyes. “Sorry, Mr. Ford. It’s my slip of the tongue. I won’t do that again.”
She was more convinced with her plan than ever.
It was true that she couldn‘t go against Stella and could only play along with her.
What happened just now, denigrating Stella in front of Weston, must never happen again.
