Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1351
Elias wiped his mouth and returned to his room without saying anything.
Weston called out to him from behind, but he did not answer, leaving the man sitting there awkwardly.
Stella sighed and said to Weston, “He’s just being stubborn. It takes time.”
Weston nodded.
Seeing this, although Emma did not know why Elias was angry, she still hurriedly gathered herself and ran back into the room.
Seeing him lost in thought, Stella said to Weston, “Why don’t you go back and rest? You haven’t slept much at all. Maybe they will be fine when you get up tomorrow morning.”
He shook his head and refused gently.
She said, “You’re not going to stand here all night and watch over them, are you?”
“I have not performed my duty as a father in the past three years. One night is nothing.”
Seeing that his intentions seemed pure, Stella shook her head, a little helpless.
How were they going to get away right under his nose?
She blinked her eyes and suddenly said to Weston, “I can’t walk anymore.”
Weston turned around and looked at her, “Hmm?”
She said, “I am giving you a chance to let you bring me to my room. Are you taking it?”
He sized her up with deep eyes in silence.
As expected, he stepped forward and picked her up directly.
She naturally put her arms around his.
It had been a long time since she had taken the initiative to hug him.
It thrilled and excited him for a moment.
Anyway, he was clearly aware of where he was at the moment, so he suppressed the surging and throbbing in
his heart and carried her to her room.
When he was about to leave, she suddenly called out to him. “Are we not sleeping together?”
Those words made Weston lose control. He removed his
tie and threw it in front of her. “Do you know what you are talking about?”
“Yes, I do.”
She looked at him indifferently. “It will just be a pure chat under the blanket and a good night’s sleep. There is no guest room for you here, but I won’t mind if you are willing to sleep on the floor.”
He gritted his teeth and said to her, “Even if I have to endure this night until my veins burst and I die, I will sleep next to you.”
She laughed. “Whatever.”
They lay on the bed after washing up.
She soon felt the rhythmic breathing of the man beside her become steady and closed her eyes to sleep.
Weston slept deeply. She could tell that he should be
tired, having stayed awake on the plane and staring at her the whole time.
The next morning, Weston was still lying on the bed when she woke up.
Stella suddenly recalled the past. She was always the one who woke up later than him.
But now, it would seem that things had changed, and she was getting up earlier than he was.
After a few glances at him, she gingerly lifted the covers and got up.
Then she saw Elias and Emma, who was already waiting downstairs.
They had already packed their bags.
Elias said to her immediately when he saw her, “Mommy! Let’s go!”
The tiny boy looked at the man. “Let’s go somewhere he doesn’t know and hide before he gets up!”
“Okay.”
Stella took his hand and helped him, and Emma sort out their clothes. “Let’s get in the car first, and then we’ll go to the airport.”
Emma was still in confusion and looked at Stella and then at Elias. “Aren’t we taking Daddy?”
“No.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1352
Although Stella did not know why Elias was so hostile to Weston; he was her son, so she respected his thoughts.
According to her understanding of Elias, he actually had a pretty good impression of Weston. Even if he knew all of a sudden that he was his Daddy, he would not have such a big reaction.
He might be a little repulsive at first, but his repulsion should not last so long that he’d want to run away.
This made her curious about Elias‘ thoughts, and she asked, “You want to avoid uncle because you think he’s bad?”
Elias shook his head and then nodded.
He did not know how to express himself, so he said, “I want to stay with Mommy.”
He suddenly hugged Stella. “And Emma. I don’t want anyone else.”
She was stunned, then picked him up. “Okay, I understand.”
It was already late when Weston woke up in the mansion.
Almost immediately, he felt the emptiness beside him on the big bed and jerked awake-
He sat up straight. The bed was completely devoid of warmth, telling him that Stella had been gone for a long time.
His heart felt empty all of a sudden, hurting from the wind that blew in through the window.
Grandpa Gracia was reading on his tablet downstairs. When he heard some stumbling from the stairway, he looked up. “Good morning. How did you sleep last night?”
“Where’s Stella?”
Weston interrupted him emotionally without a second thought. “Where are the children?”
He had come down in a haste. His clothes were casually put on, making him look rather shabby.
“Aren’t they with you?”
Grandpa Gracia frowned as soon as he heard him and asked in surprise, “Didn’t you guys… last night?”
“No, I got up this morning, and they were gone.
))
Weston’s breathing suddenly became short, and his head ached. “Where did they go?”
“That I don’t know.”
Grandpa Gracia hastily called Roger, who rushed back immediately. After taking a glance at Weston’s cold and sullen face, Roger knew he must have found out and said,
“They’re gone.”
“Where?”
Weston stood up at once, striding up to Roger and grabbing him by the collar. “Tell me, where did they go?”
“They’re gone, and they don’t want to see you again.”
Roger said to him, “Why are you so obsessed? Since you have tried everything and Elias and Emma won’t accept you, you should let them go!”
“But Emma called me Daddy yesterday…”
Weston sat defeated on the couch and propped his
forehead.
His dejected look made Grandpa Gracia feel sorry for him. “Take your time. Since they’ve left, let them take a breather. Maybe when they come back…”
“What if they never come back?”
Weston stared at him. He knew they would return to Compassvale, but what if they never wanted to come back to him again?
It wasn’t the time to give in.
“Tell me where they’ve gone.” Weston’s tone was almost pleading.
Roger, however, refused to say and went straight to his
room.
Garcia looked at his back and sighed. “They didn’t tell me either.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1353
Weston did not linger any longer and called Ben. “Investigate the gates of each country and see exactly where Stella and the children have gone.”
This was a large–scale mission, but Ben was already numbed.
Anything related to Stella would make Weston become unlike himself. He would be no different from a
madman.
Sitting on the plane back to the city, Weston propped his glabella.
He never thought that the brief tenderness of last night was just to numb his nerves.
He thought that Stella was still a little bit attached to him.
It did not occur to him that her deliberate gentleness was only to enable her to leave him with the two children silently the next day.
They were willing to go to this extent just to get away with him…
Should he really let go?
He had only brought them endless troubles and boredom after all…
At such a time, even if he was hurt, he was in no position and was unqualified to blame Stella for cheating him.
There was only disgust for himself.
Stella wasn’t actually avoiding Weston completely and was simply taking Elias and Emma out for a trip to calm down.
But it did not occur to her that Weston nearly turned Compassvale upside down in search of them.
She remained silent on the other end of the phone when she learned about this.
Roger sounded a bit anxious. “What are you going to do? If you don’t show up, he might really…”
“I know.”
Stella sighed and interrupted him. “I’ll think about it. I am with Elias and Emma at the place where Yvonne and her husband are on their honeymoon, so Weston can’t find us.”
“So you are not going to tell him?”
She said, “I don’t know. I’ll think about it.”
Her mind was a mess. On the one hand, she did not want Elias to be unhappy, and on the other, she also felt that her actions were like an ostrich burying its head in the sand. It did not solve the core of the problem at all.
After hanging up the phone, she turned around and saw Elias and Emma standing behind her.
Emma was playing with her doll happily, but Elias looked sad, as though deep in thought.
She squatted in front of him and took the robot in his hand, and asked, “What’s wrong? What are you thinking about, you look so upset.”
Elias looked at her and said, “Mommy, I want to be with you forever.”
“I know. You have said that many times.”
“But will that uncle disturb us? Will he take Emma and me away?”
“What makes you think so?”
Stella was a bit taken aback. She pinched his face and told him solemnly, “You and Emma are my children no matter what happens. I will not let anyone take you away from me.”
“But…”
Elias hesitated. “I know. If he is my daddy, he would definitely fight for our custody, then would it mean that we have to stay with him and only be able to come back to see you occasionally…”
Stella froze for a long time and suddenly understood what Elias was worried about.
She let out a long sigh and said somewhat helplessly, “Don’t worry. He is not that bad to steal you away
from me.”
She rubbed Elias‘ head and said proudly, “You are so young, yet you think so far ahead. Mommy is very glad. But I want to say that although I dislike that uncle too, he wouldn’t dare to go against our will now, and you can stay with me for as long as you want.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1354
“Really?”
Elias did not seem to be convinced. “But I heard that he doesn’t have a very good reputation. Even Grandpa Gracia said that he was Ahn City’s King of Hell. Many business opponents of his would rather undergo the most severe trials than go against him…”
Stella could not help but laugh. “Where did you hear all that?”
“That’s what they say on the internet…”
This was really not her fault. Weston was to blame for having such an intimidating reputation.
She finally figured out why Elias‘ reaction was so unusual. He must have looked up Weston on the Internet or read about his great achievements over the years and thought he was a man who killed and would treat them with the same ruthlessness.
Elias did not reject Weston as their father, but he was more worried that he would separate them.
Thinking of this, Stella looked into Elias‘ eyes fixedly and said, “Your Daddy might not be a good husband, but he does not have to be a bad father. If we don’t give him a chance, you’ll never know if he’ll be good to you.”
“But if he could not be a good husband to you, I don’t want him to be a good Daddy to us either…”
Elias said to her, “I really just want to be with Mommy forever. The rest of the people don’t matter.”
Emma suddenly stood up with her toy in her arms and jumped into Stella’s arms. “Me too, I want to be with Mommy forever…”
Downstairs, Lucas was obviously not happy with the family of three coming over to disturb them. He was swimming back and forth in the pool.
Yvonne was sitting right next to the pool, waiting for him to swim over.
After seeing him come ashore, she immediately offered him a towel ingratiatingly. “Don’t be angry. They are just coming over for a couple of days. Maybe they will leave tomorrow.”
Lucas cast a faint glance at him. Ignoring her, he lay on the bench.
Yvonne followed him to the bench and squatted down beside him. She said, “I am the godmother of these two children. Now that they are in trouble, I can’t turn the other cheek, can I?”
“Have you forgotten that this is the first time we are coming out for our honeymoon?”
Lucas looked at her indifferently. “You told me that you look forward to the trip very much, but now look at all the third–wheelers.”
“Aren’t we on a long honeymoon? Besides, Stella and the children have no place to go.”
“She is now an internationally renowned pianist, Cicily. Do you think she has no place to go?”
“Geez, I don’t care.”
Yvonne started, to exert her ready righteousness again. “Now that Weston is looking around for a few of them again, they must be in some kind of trouble. If he didn’t go beyond his limits, why would Cicily hide from him?”
He swept a glance at her. “Are you sure? The current Weston can be said as completely subservient to Stella. He will not hesitate to pick the stars in the sky for her. How could he do anything bad to Stella?”
“You men only know how to speak for men! If he was really that good, would they have run away?”
She suddenly stood up furiously, threw the towel at him, and turned around to leave.
He grabbed her hand agitatedly and held her back, pressing her waist.
She was keenly aware of his change and blushed. “Don’t you….”
He ignored her resistance and kissed her neck, moving downward little by little.
The two of them were by the pool and wearing swimsuits.
Yvonne purposely brought the pale yellow swimsuit she was wearing, not expecting that they wouldn’t go to the beach and only swim in this pool.
They originally agreed to go to the hot spring together, but the plan could only be canceled now.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1355
Yvonne almost melted into a pool.
She didn’t know why his man remained so passionate about her body after all these years.
Her hands which were resting on his chest, dropped down somewhat feebly.
Lucas suddenly nibbled her ear and placed his hand behind the lacing of her swimsuit, gently playing with it, winding it around and around.
Sensing his intention, Yvonne instantly stared at him. She pressed his hand and told him, “Don’t…”
If they did it here, Stella and the twins might come in and see them here at any time, and it would be so embarrassing!
It felt rather annoying being stopped when he was about to cum.
He gritted his teeth, and a stern look flashed across his eyes. Anyway, tried to calm down beside her ear and said nothing.
She then felt his repression and said in his ear apologetically. “Let’s wait for the night, okay…”
She continued, “Elias and Emma go to bed very early, and Stella will certainly not bother us again. I will let you do whatever you want then, eh?”
She knew she was in the wrong.
Hearing her pleading, he kissed her ear. “I can forgive you, but you must promise me one condition.”
“What condition?”
The man whispered something in her ear, Yvonne blushed the more she listened and could not help but clench her fist and pound on his shoulder. “Why are you so,
so…”
Lucas chuckled and wrapped her in his arms.
In the living room, Elias and Emma looked curiously at the scene over the pool.
Stella rushed over, covered their eyes, and carried them each with one arm.
When she called Yvonne, Yvonne invited them over with alacrity and told them that Weston would not find out where they were.
She did not think much of it at the time, so she came right away along with Elias and Emma.
Had she known they were on their honeymoon, she would not have come over to be the third–wheeler.
Stella checked the flight tickets for tomorrow and planned to visit another country with Elias and Emma.
Now that she did not know the situation on Weston’s side and Elias was still unable to accept him, she could only hide them as far as possible away from him
At night, she saw Yvonne and Lucas coming from the pool.
Her eyes remained steady
Yvonne came over with a faint redness on her face. Seeing that Elias and Emma were not there, she asked, “Where are the two little ones?”
“They’re in bed.”
“We’ll be having dinner, so you’d better wake them up.”
“Okay.”
“We have a flight tomorrow morning,” Stella said, not looking at the two.
Yvonne looked at her in surprise. “Why? I thought we decided you’d stay for a few days.”
Stella cleared her throat. “That… still feels a little inconvenient.”
She glanced at Yvonne and then at Lucas.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1356
Lucas could have looked better. When he heard that, he looked at Yvonne, nonchalantly saying, “I will go and ask the kitchen to get the food ready.”
Then, he left.
Yvonne walked up to Stella at once. “I’m sorry. Did we make you guys uncomfortable?”
“No.”
Stella said, “We were the ones who disturbed you.
“Come on. I don’t feel disturbed in the slightest…”
Stella said, “It’s okay. We can go anywhere anyway.”
“But aren’t you afraid that Weston will find you guys?”
“So be it.”
Stella was actually a little confused. “I just talked to Elias, and I know what’s on his mind now. He is worried that Weston will fight for the custody and they will be taken away.”
“So that’s what happened…”
Yvonne nodded and said, “Perhaps Weston has given them a bad impression.”
Stella said helplessly, “Not really. Elias might have heard about Weston’s reputation from somewhere, which is why he was so emotional.”
“So what are you going to do?”
“I’m going to take the two little ones around first, and then we’ll talk about it when it’s time to face it.”
“You are really…”
Yvonne did not know what to say, but she had already made her decision. As a friend, she could only support her. “Remember to call me if you run into problems.”
“Okay.”
After dinner, Stella played with the children for a while before bed.
She was fully aware that Lucas and Yvonne were always on a honeymoon period, let alone that they were actually on a honeymoon trip now. She certainly did not want to disturb them, so she returned to the room and did not come out much.
At night, there were signs of heavy rainfall.
Looking out the window, Yvonne was just about to pull the curtains when she suddenly saw a strange tall figure inside the courtyard and was startled-
“Ah!”
She screamed and hurriedly took a few steps back.
Lucas rushed straight out of the bathroom when he heard that. “What’s wrong?”
He looked at her in concern and looked out while following her gaze, only to discover a man in a black suit standing there.
He tossed the lamp in his hand aside, a little scared and speechless. “I knew it. Nothing good comes out
of running into those two.” 11
He saw Weston standing in the courtyard like a rock, looking at the bedroom on the other side of the villa where Stella was staying. He knew Weston must have used every means at his disposal to inquire about Stella’s whereabouts. He must have rushed here almost immediately.
But now that he was he, he couldn’t find the courage to go up and see her.
Yvonne was also stunned but soon calmed, though she still clutched her chest in panic. “How did he find this place so quickly?”
“Don’t forget that he’s now the person in charge of the entire Ford Corporation, which is several times larger than it was three years ago. It’s as easy as pie to find Stella.”
Stella had just put Elias and Emma to bed when she suddenly received a call from Yvonne asking her to look outside.
Puzzled, she went to the floor–to–ceiling window and saw a familiar figure downstairs and froze.
Although she was mentally prepared for Weston to come looking for her, she did not expect that he would be this fast.
She pinched her throat helplessly. After ending the call from Yvonne, she called Weston.
He picked it up almost immediately, his breathing extremely raspy.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1357
Weston did not say anything, so Stella said to him directly, "Go back first.
We don't want to see you yet." 'That's okay. I just want to see you guys."
He stood downstairs, looking at the emanating light, and did not move a muscle.
She looked at the sky. "It looks like it's going to rain soon. You'd better go back first, or you can find a place to stay for the night for now?"
He refused once again. "It's okay. I’m the one who's willing to wait here."
She paused for a while. Then her tone turned cold. "Are you trying to play a trick here to get my sympathy? Are you thinking that standing here in bad weather overnight will soften us?" "You can keep them from seeing me."
He said, "Then it won’t happen, and you could pretend you didn't see me coming here."
He said slowly, "I'm not asking for anything right now, just that you let me have a chance to see you guys, and you can pretend I don't exist."
She inhaled deeply. "When did you learn this trick?"
He was forceful in the past, completely disregarding her wishes.
Now he was indulging them. They could do whatever they wanted to him, and he would not have any complaints.
But neither of these was what she wanted.
She did not want to be tied to anyone else, nor did she want to owe him anything.
So she hung up the phone in annoyance. "Whatever."
She glanced at Weston downstairs and drew the curtains.
The moment she turned her head, she saw Elias coming over to her with a pillow in his arms. "Is he here?”
She did not lie to him and nodded. Then, she knelt down in front of him." Anyway, his action has got nothing to do with us. We don't need to feel burdened. If you don't want to see him, we will go back to the room and sleep, okay?"
He nodded, then looked back at the closed curtains. But he did not stop and went back to his room.
It did not take long for it to start raining outside, and the wind was blowing hard.
This was an island resort, and the weather was unpredictable.
Stella was lying on her bed reading a book, but when she heard the sound of the cold wind howling outside, she was a little disturbed.
She turned off the light quietly. It was silent. After a while, she lifted the curtain a little.
The man outside could not see the situation inside. She saw Weston still standing there in the rain. His black suit was soaked, and he looked miserable.
However, he still did not leave and stood there fixedly.
What a drama...
Stella clenched her fists and cursed him for being despicable.
Lightning struck, and she nearly screamed out of fear of him being struck to death by it.
Although he deserved to stand downstairs, and it was his own will, she did not enjoy seeing him lose his life.
If he was really struck by lightning, it would really be...
She did not want to see this happen.
She nearly owed him her life once, but luckily he got out safely from the mountain. But it was different this time. It was he himself who was foolish enough to stand there, and she really was not responsible for anything, but why couldn't she still be cruel?
Stella closed her eyes and drew the curtain in annoyance. She buried herself in the quilt, covering her head, not wanting to bother with any outside movement.
In the middle of the night, she was woken up by the sound of an ambulance.
Lucas, wearing a black robe and holding a cell phone, stood at the entrance to the hall with an ugly face. "I was only halfway through with my wife when this loser collapsed in the yard. You two already have children, but don’t delay other couples from making a baby, can you?"
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1358
Stella heard Lucas’ icy voice from a long distance away and was instantly awakened.
She had never seen him so angry before.
Yvonne walked out while tying her robe and saw that Weston had been carried to the ambulance. She turned her head to see Stella walking down the stairs and asked her, "Elias and Emma weren't woken up, were they?"
Stella shook her head and looked in Weston's direction, frowning. "What's wrong with him?" "After standing there half the night and getting wet, he must not have held up."
Lucas turned around and cast her a distant look. "It's raining so heavily, and there's thunder and lightning. Besides, his body has not recovered fully. How can you let him stand outside like this?"
Stella said indifferently, "I didn't make him do so, besides..." it
She looked at the storm outside. "I don't know what exactly is in his mind. We have gone to bed. No one can see him. Who is he putting on a show for?" 'All in all, you're partly to blame for him being like this now."
Lucas looked at her indifferently, "But now that he's been drenched until he's admitted into the hospital, you can also clear your head for a while and not worry about his death."
Stella heard the sarcasm in his words and stop talking.
Yvonne immediately pinched him on his arm. "What are you talking about?
Weston is clearly to blame. What does it have to do with Stella?"
Lucas glanced at her indifferently. His eyes were filled with emotions that were not suitable to be shown to outsiders. They were filled with the displeasure of being interrupted.
Yvonne felt uneasy by his gaze and said to Stella, "Don't bother about him. He will be fine since he has been sent to the hospital. Just go back and rest."
Stella did not say anything. She let out a breath and returned to her room.
Not long after, there was a sudden knock on the outside door. "Thud, thud."
She sat up from the bed at once.
She had always told herself that she had nothing to do with what happened to Weston, but when she heard the knock on the door, her first thought was that it was related to Weston.
Noticing that she could not sleep at all, Stella went to the door, opened it, and saw Elias standing outside the door. The small boy asked her," Mommy, did the man die?"
Stella was speechless.
"Not really."
She knelt before him. "He just fell sick because of the rain. He should have been sent to the hospital, and he is not that easy to be killed by just the rain."
Elias breathed a sigh of relief.
Stella looked at him, and her eyes fluttered. She asked, "Are you worried about him?" "No, I'm not!"
Elias retorted at once, clenching his fist as if he was still angry. "He has nothing to do with us, so why should I care about him?"
She stroked his head, "It's okay, tell me the truth." "Well, just a little..."
He admitted in the end and showed her a small hand gesture. "It’s just this little, not more than this."
She was amused.
She glanced at the clock. "It's very late now. Why don't you go to bed first?"
He sighed, hugging his pillow. "I can't sleep..."
She empathized with him and said with a smile, "But Emma is alone in the room. If she is scared by the sound of thunder and lightning in the latter part of the night, she will be scared, so hurry up and go to bed."
Speaking of which, Elias became very vocal. 'We're all big kids now. We should go to bed early and separately!"
He said righteously, "We used to sleep separately, and we should follow through with that!"
Stella said, 'You two are only three years old. Besides, you don't sleep together all the time. What's wrong with being in the same room on occasional trips?"
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1359
If "Anyway, I don't care. I read that kids should sleep separately when they get older, especially since I'm a boy and Emma’s a girl. No way!"
Stella was dumbfounded. 'You've done a good job of self-education.
She looked at Elias, who acted like an adult, and sighed.
She could not deny that these two children brought her far more happiness than the responsibility of raising them.
They were very well-behaved that she sometimes felt ashamed of herself.
Before she sent Elias back to his room, she suddenly said to him softly," You can see him tomorrow if you want to."
Elias paused in his track and said without looking back at her, "I'm not going see him."
Stella sighed softly, looking at his stubborn back, and returned to her bedroom silently.
The storm was raging.
The rain had stopped by the time Stella woke up.
She habitually went to Elias and Emma's room to wake them up. However, there was only Emma, lying on the bed and sitting up in a daze.
"Mommy!"
Emma stretched out her arms, asking for a hug.
Stella hugged her and asked, "Where's Elias?" "I don't know."
Emma was sucking her thumb in confusion.
Stella roughly knew where he was. When they went downstairs, they only saw Yvonne sitting there, and Lucas was nowhere to be seen. So, Stella asked, "Why is Lucas missing this morning?"
Yvonne smiled and said, "He is bringing my godson out for a stroll."
Stella nodded and stopped asking.
In the hospital, when Weston regained consciousness, he saw Lucas and Elias sitting beside his bed, looking at him.
He pinched his glabella, face as white as a sheet, and struggled to sit up but was mocked by Lucas. "How nice that you still have the strength to seek death."
Weston was speechless.
He said with a hoarse voice. "Don't say that in front of a child." "Oh, I forgot that you only care about being a loving father now and disregard those trying to get pregnant..."
At the mention of this, he held his tongue and glanced at Elias.
Since there was a child here, he stopped talking about that and said to Weston, "Since I have already brought your son here, you'd better tell him quickly if there is anything."
Weston looked at the door but did not see the familiar figure.
Lucas snickered. 'You are still thinking about Stella at a time like this? I saw her packing her baggage this morning. Perhaps she wants to run from you again and hide where you can't find her."
Weston remained quiet and only stared at Elias.
Elias lowered his head awkwardly.
Weston said to Lucas coolly, 'You go out first."
Elias wanted to follow Lucas out when he heard that.
Just as he turned around, he heard Weston's faint voice behind him. 'You stay."
Elias's back stiffened, and he stopped walking.
But without turning his head to look at him, he questioned in a baby voice," Why should I listen to you?"
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1360
"Didn’t you come with him to see me?”
Weston hooked the corner of his mouth, trying to keep his voice soft despite his pale face. "Thank you for coming to see me."
Elias still refused to look at him and grunted softly.
Lucan only turned to look at him reluctantly when he saw Lucas walk out and close the door behind him. "I just came to see if you were dead. And since I'm done, I'm going back now!" "Wait..."
Weston suddenly pulled his hand and coughed softly. Elias could see that he was trying to suppress it.
Elias knitted his brow at once. "Are you hurt badly?"
Weston said, "No, it's not serious, just a common cold." "If you have a cold, why did they call an ambulance? I was woken up last night..."
Elias hesitated and said, "I am not worried about you. I just thought Mommy would be upset if you got sick in the rain."
Weston laughed softly. "Sorry for the noise last night. Say sorry to your mom for me, okay?"
Elias said, 'Why don't you say that to her yourself?" "She should not want to see me." He suddenly felt dejected.
»»
"It's me who doesn't want to see you..."
Elias frowned. "Mommy is still worried about you, I can tell.' "Really?"
A faint smile grew in Weston's eyes.
Elias nodded. "But that’s just out of humanity." 1
He spoke confidently and seriously. "She would definitely be worried about anyone like you. Mommy is very kind." "Yes."
The smile in Weston's eyes intensified, and he touched his head. "Indeed she is."
They looked at each other in silence. After a while, Weston asked, "Why didn't she come over today?" "Because she does not want to see you!"
Elias said, "She knew you were playing a trick to get her to pity you."
Weston coughed, closed his eyes, and said with a hoarse voice, "But you just said that she was a little worried about me." "Only a little."
Elias made a hand gesture. "Just this little. Otherwise, she wouldn't be taking me away with Emma again." "Where are you going?" "I'm not telling you!"
Elias said, "You will surely come if I tell you. Maybe, you might even fight against her for our custody!" "You already know about what custody is at your age?" "Of course I do!"
Elias said, "If you win, Emma and I will have to live with you. It’ll be a luxurious reward to visit Mommy on New Year's Day or other holidays. She even has to pay you to support us. How miserable..."
Weston listened to his words, knitting his brows more and more tightly." Where did you hear these words? Did your mother tell you about this?" "No, I thought of it myself."
Elias lowered his head and stared at his toes. Suddenly, he straightened his back and said to him with a straight face, "I know you are powerful and very rich. But no matter what, I'm not going to let you take me away from my mom and Emma! I must stay with Mommy!"
Weston rubbed his glabella helplessly. Seeing him looking so defensive, he softened his tone and said to him, "Don't worry, I won't make you do anything you don’t want to, and I won't fight for your custody. Tell me why you think that, can you?"
