Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1261
Caspian naturally knew Nicole’s intention.
After all, he had spent so much time in this circle. When facing these two–faced women, he could see through their minds at a glance. So, he aimed directly at Nicole. “I heard that the list of actors this time was decided long ago, and your name is not on the list. Why are you here?”
His words were much blunter, and it was difficult to answer.
Nicole’s face turned ugly. “Because there was an actress not feeling well and withdrew at the last minute, so I came as her substitute.”
“I see.”
Caspian nodded with an ambiguous smile. He paused for a long time without saying anything, but it felt like he had said everything.
It was just that he did not make it apparent.
She clenched her fists instantly, resenting the feeling she had when everyone was speaking for Stella.
Halfway through her meal, a tall figure came toward them from a distance.
Her eyes lit up, and she stood up immediately. “Mr. Ford!”
Stella heard the familiar footsteps behind her, but she kept eating her food with her head lowered.
After a short while, the actress beside her suddenly stood up and said to Weston, “Mr. Ford, please have a seat.”
She was a quick–witted one.
Weston nodded and sat beside Stella.
The group spoke a little less loudly.
Stella could obviously sense.
Weston would become the center of attraction as soon as he appeared.
His every move would observe his every move, trying to please him, putting him as the first priority.
She hated this feeling, so she put down her cutlery and asked coldly, “Why did you come over?”
“I came to see you,” said Weston calmly.
She asked with a straight face, “Have you done the laundry?”
“Of course. I came after doing it.” He looked at her eyes, reached out to help her tuck her hair beside her cheek behind her ear, and lowered his head to peck her cheek. Don’t worry. I have washed all your clothes, including your…”
He paused abruptly, moved closer to her, and whispered into her ear, “… un–der–gar–ments.”
He purposely pronounced the word syllable by syllable, ensuring the words entered her ears clearly.
She was startled, her face flushed instantly, and she glared at him.
But her gaze was so charming in his eyes.
He chuckled, without feeling the slightest bit of anger and shame that Stella had made him do the laundry, but rather enjoyed it.
“Your taste hasn’t changed at an. What you liked a few years ago is still the same a few years later…”
“You shut up!”
Stella bit her spoon, and her face was red.
He purposely lowered his voice when he said that in her ear.
But she was still worried that the people around them could hear his extremely shameless words!
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1262
Stella’s intention was to get Weston to back off, but she did not expect the man to be enjoying it.
She began to think that her approach might not be suitable for dealing with a resilient man like Weston. He might even take this kind of difficulty as something fun.
After the meal, Stella planned to go to Bradley’s scene. Her face was still as stern as she ignored Weston.
At the table, Bradley saw that Weston only followed Stella from a distance and did not bother. It made him chuckle, and he whispered in her ear. “I didn’t expect Mr. Ford to be so unoccupied and will help you wash clothes. There are not many virtuous men like him in this era.”
Stella was speechless.
She had a headache. “Can you not talk about this?”
She was very annoyed at the moment.
Caspian also came over. As if shocked by the incident just now, his face didn’t look good, though his eyes were full of mischievousness. “I have never seen Weston like that. Did he really just do your laundry?”
Stella was noncommittal, not willing to talk about him.
Caspian was getting excited. “No way. Is it true that this man, Weston, washes your clothes? He probably doesn’t even know how to operate a washing machine.”
It was not like what he had exaggerated.
Stella said, “He simply does not need to do all these. He is not stupid.”
“In that case, then what just happened was all true. He really washed your undergarments?”
She was speechless.
Seeing her in embarrassment, Caspian did not stop but got more excited instead.
Stella felt helpless, but Bradley, who was beside them, supported him and said, “Didn’t you see the faces of the people at the table just now? They were all shocked. You are really something, Stella, for having someone like Weston to wash the clothes for you. I bet everyone would feel that it was like a dream, or it might be a nightmare…”
Originally, Stella did not go back to face Weston, and this was why she came to chat with them. But unexpectedly, they kept on talking about Weston. This irritated her very much.
“If you still want to talk about him, I’ll be leaving.”
Caspian and Bradley exchanged glances. Bradley’s eyes flashed with obscurity, but he did not say anything. ” Then let’s talk about the script.”
Stella was a special guest star this time to play in the show.
She was now famous abroad, but only her name was known in the country, and she had nothing that could make her stand out in a show.
Getting this invitation to be a special guest star might be a good start for her.
Weston had been guarding her not far from her. Since he was not leaving, Nicole naturally would not want to leave. She used an excuse to pretend to ask other people for advice on lines, but she kept! ing in Weston’s direction, paying attention to his every move.
So, Stella felt that two people were watching her at the same time. Without saying much, she had already planned to leave in a hurry.
When seeing Stella returned to her place, Weston stood up and followed her.
Stella stopped in annoyance after taking a few steps. She looked at him. “Can you stop following me?”
Weston said, “I am just going back to my tent.”
She was speechless.
“Your tent is over there.” She pointed to where he was staying.
He withdrew his gaze. “Your place is where I want to go to.”
“Can you not be this shameless?” Stella snapped.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1263
“I will lose my wife if I want my face, my wife is more important.”
Stella said, “Who is your wife?”
She glared at him. “Don’t forget that we’ve been divorced a long time ago, in fact, twice.”
“We were married in front of everyone in Ahn City, and don’t you forget that either,” Weston reminded. He looked serious, though he showed no awareness that he was actually forcing her to complete the wedding. “You took a vow in front of the priest, and me, too. Besides, we did not dissolve the marriage three years ago.. it is you who unilaterally declared your death. Even after your death, you are still my wife.”
Stella could only remain silent for a moment. She could never win against this man when it came to
shamelessness. He could say such things so righteously.
She walked into her tent without looking at him.
He followed her into the tent. She looked at the clothes he had washed. They had all been hung up properly for drying.
She walked over to inspect his work and suddenly frowned. “This is the laundry you did?”
“What’s wrong with it?”
“It’s not clean here.”
Stella pointed to the spot on her shirt where it was originally printed with a pattern. “How is it still so dirty?”
Weston knew she was deliberately picking a fight just by taking a look at it and said to her, “You just might not be able to clean this thing even with disinfectant.”
“Are you talking back now? If you don’t want to wash it, just don’t. Is it necessary to be so stubborn after you did a bad job?”
Weston was silent.
Indeed, he should not have refuted her just now.
He knew that Stella was deliberately picking a fight, so he should not have gone against her wishes.
“Okay, I will wash it again.”
Stella just pointed to a top but did not expect him to reach out and remove all her undergarments as well.
Her eyes widened at once. “I’m talking about the knit shirt!”
“I know. Since it’s not clean enough, the others must be more or less the same. I’ll re–wash them for you.”
Stella was so angry that her face turned a little red, or perhaps she was a little shy. “No need for the undergarments. I’ll wash them myself later.”
“How can I let you do it? It’s so cold now.”
Weston frowned and said to her, “Good girl, go and sit for a while, I will be back soon.”
So that night, the whole crew witnessed Weston going to the house of a local herder to borrow a basin and ask for some soap in order to wash the clothes for Stella. He washed them thoroughly, making sure they were clean.
He looked as serious as getting a business deal worth millions of dollars.
Nicole could not stand it anymore and walked over to him. “Mr. Ford, stop it. Can’t you see that Stella is doing it on purpose?”
He ignored her remark and gave her an indifferent look instead. “Get out of the way.”
Nicole paled a little, not expecting him to side with Stella even at this point.
She stood in front of him and refused to leave. “I can’t watch you suffer like this anymore. You want to wash her clothes, don’t you? Okay, I’ll help you wash them together!”
After she said that, she took a small bench over and sat in front of him, attempting to get the clothes in his hands.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1264
Weston blocked her hands with his bony wrist that emitted a faint elegance, showing off the precious chronometer he wore.
However, he seemed to completely ignore that fact and put his hand into the water directly. Then, as if feeling it was getting in the way, he took the watch off and tossed it aside.
Nicole could not understand at all. “Why do you treat her so well when she does this to you?”
She did not get a reply from Weston, who seemed to be completely oblivious to her.
Her eyes slowly fell on the wound on the back of his hand, and her pupils contracted. “Mr. Ford, you’re hurt, what happened?”
His wound was soaked in the water until it turned a little white.
Nicole’s heart sank as she looked at his wound. “You don’t have to do this, Mr. Ford. Let me help you, or the wound will be infected…”
“I’ll say it again, don’t meddle with my matters.”
The man’s patience finally ran out, and he looked at her with cold eyes. His eyes were full of impatience and rejection.
Her eyes fluttered, and she suddenly stood up as if thinking of something. “Is this from the last time you cooked for Stella?”
Apart from that, she really could not think of any other place where this man could have been injured except in the kitchen.
She had also heard that he had borrowed the kitchen here before. He must have been for cooking for Stella.
But Stella always had dinner with everyone else. This meant she had never touched the food Weston made for her.
She was just torturing him on purpose!
The more Nicole thought about it, the angrier she became, but Weston simply ignored her.
She stood there for a long time and then ran furiously to Stella. Stella was preparing to rest and raised her eyebrow when she saw Nicole coming. “What’s the matter?”
She held the glass of red wine that Weston had sent over during the day and took a gentle sip.
As expected of Weston’s taste, it was pretty good.
If the way he fed it to her before had not been too offensive, she might have been able to enjoy the taste of this red wine properly.
“Do you know that Mr. Ford’s washing your clothes? Haven’t they been washed? Why ask him to wash them again? You are deliberately torturing him, aren’t you?”
“It’s not. He did it of his own free will.”
Stella slowly sat on the makeshift chair. She had already changed into her pajamas. It seemed like she was planning to rest.
Nicole took a deep breath. “Do you not think about Mr. Ford’s situation at all? Do you know what those people in the crew are saying about him? They said that he is licking your boots and he is your fawner!”
“What people say and do have got nothing to do with me, besides-”
Stella raised her glass and smiled at her. “I’d appreciate it if you could find a way to get Weston to stop doing that.”
Nicole could not listen any longer. “You are clearly emboldened because of his love for you! Why would you do that to someone who loves you?”
“Because I’ve been trampled before.”
Stella said, “Love is not a big deal. I have devoted to it before, but I didn’t get such a good ending and lost the most important thing.”
She said it in a light–hearted way, briefly mentioning the pain of the past.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1265
Nicole obviously would not understand her and would only question her. “Whatever. The past is in the past. You will regret treating Mr. Ford like that!”
“Is that so?”
Stella laughed, not taking her words seriously. “If that’s all you came here to say, then please go back.”
Nicole refused to leave. “Do you know that he has wounds all over his hands in order to cook for you? And yet you call him over to do the laundry. His wounds are soaked white. Don’t you have any feelings? You are really a cold- blooded woman!”
After saying that, she suddenly saw a completely untouched meal on a table inside the tent. She recognized that they were Weston’s cooking at first glance. “He has done so much for you, and you refuse to even take a bite. How can you be so cruel?”
“I just don’t eat his food. Is that considered cruel?”
Stella found her incredibly funny, so she stood up and sauntered to her.
The red wine in the glass swirl with her movement, making her look enchanting.
“I once had a marriage. I have prepared meals waiting for a man to,return for countless days and nights, but he only returned occasionally. He did not return most of the time, to which I would be looking at the table of cold food. I do not know how much disappointment I experienced… You are heartbroken for him just because of this once. Is it not a little too exaggerated?”
Nicole paled, knowing what she was implying.
But she still felt pitiful for him. As for what sacrifices
Stela had made, they were not within her consideration.
“If you don’t like him this much, go and tell him properly. I really cannot stand watching anymore! He treats you so well, yet you are unmoved!”
“Sure. Since you asked for it, I’ll talk to Weston and tell him not to bother me anymore. How does that sound?”
Nicole was at a complete loss for words at Stella’s quick decision.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard an icy voice from behind her. “I told you. Don’t meddle with my business.”
Nicole felt a chill going down her spine immediately. She dared not turn around.
Weston walked up to Stella. His tone softened a lot. “I apologize for the interference. I’ll get rid of her right away.”
Nicole’s heart went completely cold, and she took a step back when she saw that his first reaction was actually telling Stella not to be angry. “Mr. Ford, she is clearly playing with you. Why are you…”
“This is my business. It has nothing to do with you. “f you don’t know what it means to mind your own business, I will show you what those words mean.”
He rarely said so much to her and was ignoring her most of the time.
Nicole only felt a bone–chilling coldness that spread from the soles of her feet to her limbs. Even her veins froze.
With her eyes red, she turned her head and ran out.
Stella looked at her back with boredom, thinking she was too weak to fight, and said to Weston, “Why don’t you follow along and chase after her?”
Weston frowned immediately and looked at her. His tone was a little displeased. “Don’t make this kind of joke.‘
He could see that Stella did not care much. She did not show any hint of jealousy.
His face turned gloomy, but still, he said to her, “Don’t worry. I won’t let her bother you again.”
He did not have the intention to blame her even at this point.
Sadly, however, she could no longer feel jealous because of him.
Weston sadly found that he could no longer stir Stella’s emotions, save for that of annoyance.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1266
Stella looked at Weston, who was standing in front of her. When she recalled the scene she had just seen, she suddenly felt a little discouraged.
She was thinking of tormenting him for a long time but suddenly found it to be pointless.
She told him, “Nicole is not the first person to trouble me, and she will not be the last. Whether it is the past or the future, I have no way to be optimistic about the consequences of you staying by my side. Weston, have you noticed that…”
Her tone suddenly became calm, unlike her previous attitude of deliberately finding fault with him, but more like telling him very seriously and earnestly. “Nothing good happens to me as long as you stay by my side. Your presence has brought me nothing but trouble, non–stop trouble, and the malice of others. I’ve had a good time without you for the past three years.”
The way she had treated him so severely earlier, deliberately trying to torment him, didn’t cause Weston even a moment of heartache.
He thought that as long as she was still willing to make things difficult for him, that was his chance.
But now that Stella was telling him calmly that his existence would only bring trouble to her and that he was the source of her unhappiness-
This made him unsettled, and he started to question the meaning of his existence.
Seeing the sudden change in his face, Stella continued without any qualms. “Have you ever thought that all your self–righteous attempts to redeem yourself are a new pain to me?”
“My feelings for you have worn out long ago. It is you who destroyed it with your own hands, and you want to restore it now. How could such a good thing exist? You have already got so many things in this world, but still want what you can’t get. How can there be such a good thing in this world…”
As she spoke each word, the man’s face turned grey bit by bit until it finally went completely lifeless.
Nicole did not know what they had talked about. She only knew that when Weston came out, he seemed to be drained of energy, like a walking dead.
She knew it. It must be Stella telling him something excessive to him again!
She really could not understand why such a good man had to be let down.
That woman was just doing whatever she wanted on the basis of his fondness!
She simply couldn’t stand it anymore. “Mr. Ford…”
“Go away.”
She had just gathered the courage to take a step forward when she heard Weston’s cold words.
He was always like this with others, unthinking and cold and somewhat heartless.
After that night, everyone in the crew sensed something was not right.
Weston seemed to have stopped appearing around Stella.
The people he got into the crew also quit. Stella also learned about Weston’s departure from the other member.
She did not react much when Bradley told her about it and simply responded, “Mmm.”
So he had left. It had nothing to do with her.
Bradley speculated from her expression. “He left just like that. Do you really not feel anything in your heart?”
“I do.”
Stella looked at him and smiled. “I felt much of a relief.”
Hearing her say so, Nicole, who had been quiet, commented nonchalantly. “I didn’t expect Miss Sealey to be so heartless. Mr. Ford still thought about you when he left. He ordered the kitchen to cook your favorite dishes and bolster your ten’s security, but all his doings only get you to say such a thing! If he heard it, I do not know how disappointed…‘
“You can just tell him.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1267
Stella curled her long hair and said to her with a smile. ” Since you are fighting for him so much, go and tell him what I just said. You should have his number, right? He will know just how vicious a woman I can be. He won’t come back to haunt me in the future, and you’ll have a chance to be with him.”
She mercilessly revealed Nicole’s intention, making Nicole pale and stand up.
In the end, Nicole could only glare at her and then turn around and leave the place.
Looking at Stella’s face, which rapidly turned gloomy, Bradley asked, “Are you punishing Weston, or are you punishing yourself now?”
She did not say anything.
She stared into the space and said, “I just don’t want to suffer like how I used to.‘
She was doing just fine now. In the days without Weston, she had her own family and a career that she could earn a living.
Since everything was going well, the last thing she wanted was to revert to her old life.
“But he may not be the same as he used to be, and he’ll give you everything you want…”
“I can give what he can myself.”
She interrupted, knowing what he wanted to say, but she shook her head and said, “When you learn how big the world actually is, you’ll never want to return to the cage you were in. So what if he’s changed? I’m not going to gamble on a possibility with my current happiness, and I’m not going to depend on a man for all I have.”
After saying that, she stood up and left.
In the next few days, perhaps they had sensed Stella’s attitude that no one mentioned Weston in front of her.
When they were nearing the end of the filming stage, they needed to go to Snow Mountain to shoot some scenes.
It was a bit dangerous. At first, Bradley didn’t plan to let Stella go since the professional they brought along said so. “Women are not suitable to go to the mountain. Their bodies are delicate and may get cold womb syndrome easily…”
He said a lot more stuff, and the point was that he did not allow Stella to go.
Stella felt something was off. The tone of this person’s speech kept reminding her of a man.
Sure enough, she saw traces of Weston’s men halfway up the mountain.
Weston had not left in the past few days but was waiting on the mountainside.
When he saw Stella coming, he was surprisingly a bit flustered. “… Why are you here?”
She gave him a cold look. “I thought I had made myself clear enough.”
“I know.”
His voice was hoarse, and he stood in front of her like a child who had done something wrong. “I just don’t want you to get hurt, I just want to see you from afar.”
“I don’t need you to watch me, don’t you understand?”
She inhaled deeply and said to him, “I do not need your self–righteous protection, even less I need you to create a cage in the name of love, now you are a burden to me.”
When she finished, she saw the fire in the man’s eyes suddenly extinguished.
His throat rolled up and down as if wanting to say something to her, but no word was said in the end.
“I understand. I will leave.”
She nodded and turned around without saying anything.
She knew he was not a stupid man.
This time, it should be a proper goodbye.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1268
The next day, the weather cleared up completely.
Stella felt much more relaxed, perhaps because the remaining problems had been resolved.
However, Nicole’s gaze became much more resentful, she kept hiding in a corner and glaring at her fiercely.
Stella didn’t mind. As long as Nicole didn’t do anything, she would not bother with such a woman much.
It was sunny, and some snow melted.
Stella came out with her boots on. Walking on the snow, feeling her feet crunching across the bottom of deep snow, felt great.
Bradley came over and said to her. “You said that you want to go up the mountain. Are you sure about it?”
She nodded.
Although they had talked it over last night, Weston should still be halfway up the mountain at this moment.
There were so many of them, and it would take time to evacuate them all at once.
She thought that Weston should have left when she returned from the trip to the mountain, so this would be the best arrangement.
And so the crew get the equipment and were ready to depart. The signal here was not very good, but just as
Stella had had her breakfast, she received a call from Ahn City.
On the other end of the phone, Roger’s voice was a bit hoarse. “It has been days. Are you still not coming back?”
He still sounded a bit irritated, as if he made this call unwillingly.
Stella walked to a quiet place and said. “I am m just going out for a break. I’ll be back in a few days.”
“Is that so? I thought you weren’t going to see me again, leaving Elias and Emma with your friends.”
She held her breath for a long moment before she said to him, “Will you grow up already?”
When she thought she was Miguel, he had just turned twenty.
She had always thought he was not mature enough, so she did not bother with him.
But if he was Roger, he was no more than a few years
younger than she was, and could no longer use the word ” childish” to excuse his action.
“Are you that mature then?”
Roger interrupted her without hesitation and said with dissatisfaction. “You run away as soon as you encounter a problem. You did not even come to me and leave Elias and Emma with someone else. Why can’t you solve this problem with me?”
“Who was the one who ran away?”
Stella’s tone turned cold. “It is you who have been in the run in these three years. You never want to face the problems between us and only want to escape, change, hide and lie. I just feel tired, I want to come out to take a break.”
“So when are you coming back?”
He seemed dumbfounded, and only asked this after a long time, “Can I pick you up?”
She said, “No, I will go to you later.”
She hung up after saying that, and her mood became heavy again.
On the other hand, Roger stared at the screen of the phone in silence for a long time before he called Stella’s assistant.
The staff members at Stella’s studio were very familiar with Roger. They knew they had a very good relationship, just like a family.
He asked them where she was and they all told him the truth. He then searched directly online for the location of Snow Mountain, only to see that there was a weather
warning today about the possibility of snow storms and mudslides.
He hurriedly called Stella again, but she was no longer available.
Stella did not want to waste time on these things either. She just wanted to have a good time.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1269
The people Bradley hired were true professionals, and they had no accidents so far. They grabbed the equipment and headed to Snow Mountain while one of them gave Stella a crash course on first aid.
They were the first group to go up the mountain. Now that the weather was very good, the visibility was good, and there was a high degree of safety.
So Stella said to Bradley, “It’s alright. I will be fine going with them.”
The staff members were old friends who have worked together for many years, so Bradley was also very unworried. They instructed Stella on a few things and went to point direct the actors.
She took the protective gear and, with that group of people, set off into the mountain.
Under the mountain, Weston’s men had already left.
When they heard about Stella going up Snow Mountain with the professional, Weston’s face turned blue.
“Didn’t I tell you not to let her go?”
“No accident happens all these years. Besides, Miss Sealey wanted to go and take a look as well, so…”
One of the crew members explained, “Nothing will happen, Mr. Ford. Don’t worry.”
The man’s face was already very sick. “She can’t be allowed to go even if there is the slightest possibility of danger.”
“But Ms. Sealey said that already, we could not just stop
They did not know what to say. Even Weston could not change Stella’s mind, let alone theirs.
Weston pressed his glabella and said nothing. “Cancel all the schedule and go to the mountain now.”
Ben was shocked when he heard that and said, “Mr. Ford, there is a summit that cannot be declined, or we may lose the collaboration project.”
Weston said, “It does not matter losing this project, they will still approach Ford Corporation next quarter.
“But…”
Although it was, in fact, true, Ben still felt that it was inappropriate.
With the current reputation of Ford Corporation, they indeed were not short of business projects. However, their reputation was gained slowly, if they found that it was the same working with other companies after the project this time, it would put the company at a disadvantage.
Weston picked up the phone directly with a solemn face.” I want to go now.”
His tone was unquestionable.
Stella and the rest had gone up the mountain for quite some time. Even if he rushed there now, he could only follow them in the distance.
It was still sunny in the morning, but the sky was covered with dark clouds at noon.
Stella took her glasses off and glanced back to find that they had unknowingly reached the deep mountains.
The few staff members around her, who had not spoken, could not help but ask, “How long before we reach the garrison?”
The people next to her did not say anything, so she increased the volume. Only then did she hear a man say in a hoarse voice, “Keep going, we should be there soon.”
His voice was as if he could not breathe.
Stella frowned and asked, “Are you okay? Did you feel any discomfort?”
The man shook his head. His face was covered by the large glasses, so she could not see his face clearly.
After a while, he took off the goggles.
Stella was startled when she saw his face was blue and called for help. “He seems to be feeling a little uncomfortable. Can anyone take a look?”
But her voice was not answered, and the people next to her continued on as if they did not hear it and continued climbing.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1270
The terrifying howl of the blinding blizzard only got louder. Stella sensed something wrong and stepped in front of the men. “What’s wrong with you?”
Only then did the man seem to realize something and took off their masks.
One of them said intermittently, “I don’t feel right. It is as if the further you walk in, the more difficult it is to breathe.”
Stella, too, noticed that it was a little hard to breathe, so she called them off.
They unexpectedly had the same feeling as Stella, so it meant the situation wasn’t good.
“We came here many times. These things don’t normally happen.”
The leader said to Stella, “Let’s keep going. We will be fine once we get to the resupply point.”
Battered by heavy winds and snow, Stella hesitated a bit.” Or we should go back.”
But some of them insisted on going forward. “If we go back now, the path might already be blocked by the snow, and we may encounter danger. Let’s just continue on. At least there is a supply point up ahead. We can go there to rest.”
There were different opinions among the members. A few of them insisted to keep going, thinking that they would be fine as long as they took the path they had taken before. However, another group thought that they were aware of the danger. They thought that if they continued their journey, they might still need to return to the original path if they faced any unpredictable problems.
However, if they went back using the same route, there was no guarantee that they’d safely return to the shoulder.
Stella had a bad feeling when she saw them arguing.
The changes in the weather caught them off–guard.
When Roger drove to Snow Mountain, he heard the weather forecast in the car. An unusual snowstorm was apparently about to hit them, and travelers were reminded to take note of their safety.
He kept calling Stella, but the call did not get through.
He reassured himself that it could not be such a coincidence. Maybe it was just a momentary bad signal, but since he couldn’t get through, he couldn’t just stand by and watch.
After visiting Elias and Emma at Angelina’s place, he drove straight to Snow Mountain, where Stella was.
Just as he got on the road, he heard the weather broadcast. His eyes were covered in fog, and he stepped on the gas to accelerate.
Weston’s men arrived at the resupply point in a short time. They sped up a bit when taking the original path. However, Stella and the rest who should already be there were nowhere to be seen. Not even the first batch of people we in sight.
When Weston arrived, the group leader told him a little uneasily, “There is heavy fog in the mountains, and the wind and snow have intensified a lot. They may have gotten lost.”
The man’s face turned gloomy immediately. “Didn’t they say that there were many experienced on the team? How could this happen?”
“Perhaps it was because they haven’t met with an accident in the past few years, so everyone’s become overconfident. That’s why…”
Nobody imagined that the weather would change so quickly, and no one anticipated that such a situation would occur to them.
“But it’s still early. It’s likely they have not arrived just yet and are resting on the road for a while.”
Someone comforted Weston as well. “Let’s wait for a bit more, I guess they will come back in a short time.”
After all, they were professional, so Weston did not say much.
His face was horribly dark. Ben did not dare speak so much in front of him, fearing he might step on his land mines.
Half an hour later, there was still no sight of Stella.
