Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1411
If he had brought her over intending to give her the company, she wouldn’t have known what to do…
Though many of the employees were newly recruited, Stella had been a regular visitor even before the company was reformed, so many of them were familiar with her.
There were quite a number of people sneaking over to peep in, but they did it very furtively.
Most of them just took a glance and went about their business. It could be seen that their professionalism was high.
“I’m done looking…”
Stella stood in Weston’s office in the end and looked at him. “The company is great. The whole building is huge and spacious. The employees were professional. I can visualize that you are climbing to the peak of your life.”
Her compliments were half–hearted. Weston heard a small number of praises, but most of them were teasing.
He laughed a little and suddenly hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “How can it be considered the pinnacle of life? After all, I’ve only just come out of the doldrums.”
She knew what he meant and simply smiled in silence.
She knew what he wanted, but she could not give him, not she could afford to give him.
He slowly tightened his arms and said in her ear. “You don’t know, every time I stand in a place like this, I wonder how many things I would be able to do if you were here…”
She struggled when she heard his alarming words. “What do you want to do?”
The man’s thin lips moved slowly down the back of her neck. The warmth of his breath sent goosebumps across her skin.
She heard his low, muffled voice ring in her ear. “Right here in this place…”
He pushed her up against the floor–to–ceiling glass window, looking out at all the lights, and whispered in her ear. “There is no higher place in all of Ahn City than this. Do you know how much I want to possess you?”
She gritted her teeth and said to him, “Let go of me.”
“No…”
His hand went from her chest to her stomach, his voice incredibly husky.” Sometimes I dream about what it would be like to wake up and find you’re not around
”
She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. “Weston, I don’t want to do it here…”
“Yes, you do.”
“No, I really don’t…”
She seemed to soften her tone and became a little worried. “There are so many people coming and going; people will see us! I don’t want your employees to know what we’re doing in here…”
“They won’t. Even if they were, they wouldn’t say anything.”
He pulled off her hands which were resisting, and rubbed them in his palm.
He looked at her. His eyes were soft and gentle as if he wanted to drown her in them.
She had an impression that he really loved her when he looked at her like that.
The love was so much that it was a little fanatical.
But she still retained her last bit of sensibility. “No, at least wait for the night…”
“There is another plan for the night.”
He said in her ear with a breathy voice. “It’s a different sensation in the daytime.”
Stella was speechless.
She really could not stand this man anymore. “Let go of me first!”
He laughed and stopped her, his fingers going where he wanted them to go.
He knew her too well that she could not escape his control.
In a mere two or three strokes, she was already gritting her teeth, and a blush spread across her face.
He kissed the side of her face, looked at her red ear, kissed it gently again, and said, ” You really don’t want it? Then why do my hands feel so…”
She glared at him and wanted to kick him away, but he grabbed her ankles and gradually moved up.
He picked her up and put her on the desk. The files on it were swept to the floor.
Under the bright light, Weston kissed her almost worshipfully, as how he would treat his fragile treasures
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1412
When it ended, it was already time to get off work.
Stella’s clothes were all over the floor. She had no energy to pick them up.
The well–fed man was extremely patient. After buttoning his white shirt and putting on his garments, he came to dress her.
Stella was served by him the whole process.
Her energy consumption these days was too big until she felt a bit sick, so her attitude toward Weston was not that gentle anymore. She put her hand on his muscular arm and dug her nails into it. “Why didn’t you do it gently when I asked you to?”
Her tone of voice was clearly with rancor, but Weston chuckled after pausing for a moment. “Though you were telling me to go gentle, you had been holding me and not letting me go. If I went gentle and slow, you grunted instead. What did you want me to do exactly?”
She was speechless.
She flushed and got angry by herself, not wanting to pay more attention to him.
Weston helped her get dressed, pinched her cheek, and said, “Go home?”
She shook her head and looked outside the window. “They just got off work. I don’t want them to see me like this.”
She walked into his break room, where a mirror hung on the wall.
When she saw the hickeys on her neck, she glared at the man through the mirror. ” Look at what you have done! How am I supposed to go out like this?”
He hugged her from the back, kissed her hair, and apologized half–heartedly by whispering in her ear. “I will kiss you here next time, okay?”
He stroked her neck up and down, his large palm almost enveloping her entire neck.” I will aim for kisses in places where no one else can see them.”
She was speechless.
He was talking as if he did not kiss her on the spots where people could not see. Not only her neck and collarbone but the parts which were covered by her clothes were also ravaged.
She sighed and stopped talking.
This man was currently crazy, and his mental state was very unstable to the point that he needed medication. Hence, she had better not stimulate him.
Anyway, as long as he cared for her feelings, both of them would be comfortable doing this kind of thing, so she was not bothered to bother with him about anything.
Weston kissed her nonstop and very lovingly.
She had never been like this before, complying with him in this matter. She was so obedient, as if she was back in the days when they had been married when she never refused his requests.
He twisted her face and tried to kiss her cheek, but when he saw the emotion in her eyes, the boiling passion suddenly cooled down.
Although she obeyed him, she did not have any initiative.
She just passively accepted it most of the time.
Sometimes she was clearly uncomfortable or did not want it, but for whatever reason, she did not refuse him.
He gritted his teeth and suddenly recalled the wildest moment they had just had when Stella had been folded over his body almost in its entirety. He thought she liked it and enjoyed it, but it was also possible that she was disgusted with herself but had to submit because she pitied him.
Stella noticed the changes on the man’s face. She got up slowly and glanced at him. “Why aren’t you talking?”
Weston paused for a moment and smiled at her. “Nothing.”
He pulled her to a seat on the couch in his office, acting a little more cautiously toward her.
She could not help but give a sarcastic laugh. “You were so harsh just now, but now you’re being gentle. Why are you pretending?”
She thought it was just a mocking remark, but she did not expect him to change his face and hug her seriously and say in her ear. “I’m sorry.”
She froze for a moment, thinking that he had changed.
Weston, however, suddenly took her hand and put it on his face. “If I do that the next time, just hit me and scold me.”
She did not know what to say.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1413
Stella found his current appearance to be a little frightening. “Are you okay?”
The man just said with conviction that she also had a good time. How could he suddenly say such things?
And what he said was true. She did have a good time too…
So she took it as a sign that Weston was getting off on the wrong foot.
After arriving at the apartment, Stella was prepared for Weston to stay there.
But what she did not expect was that just as she arrived home, he said to her
indifferently, “Rest well. I have something to do.”
She froze for a moment and looked at him. “You are going back?”
He nodded and said, “There are still some things left unfinished at the company.”
She did not say anything and simply sized him up.
He stayed at her house shamelessly last night. Not to mention his work, she felt he
would not leave even if it was the end of the world.
Today, he had to leave because of something matter. Instead, this was too abnormal.
But she did not say anything, and her face was cold. “Whatever you want to do, just go and do it.”
She went straight to her bedroom after saying that.
He stared in the direction she left with his cloudy eyes and turned to leave only after a long time.
This could not go on.
He knew that Stella was soft on him and that as long as his current state did not improve, she would keep giving herself up to him.
Just like just now, in his office, with him fooling around.
He did not even dare to think about this in the past.
He was supposed to be satisfied.
He gave a self–deprecating laugh. People were so greedy.
Coming to this position today, he had seen too many people who had nothing left at the end, losing everything because of greed.
He could manipulate human nature, especially in the stock market. He had seen those people through, but he never had control over himself.
He would only ask for more and more from her body, never knowing the insatiable.
Hayden saw Weston entering the counseling room after sending a patient out. He swept a glance at him and said, “I thought you wouldn’t come here for a while.”
Weston did not say anything. He sat in front of him, closed his eyes, and asked him,” Is there anything else you can do?” he asked straightforwardly.
Hayden shook his head. “Your mental state has deteriorated to a point where your self–importance is too strong for psychological intervention… If you are not allowed to spend time with Stella, you will only become more and more extreme and paranoid.”
“If I am allowed to stay with her, I will hurt her one day.”
“That’s not necessarily true.”
Hayden said, “It’s just that the more you stay with her, the more you may be unable to leave her. With your mental state, it is impossible that you will hurt her. Now you should be most afraid of being unable to meet her demands and hurt her…”
It meant that the current Weston cared too much about Stella to the point that it became rather pathological.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1414
A month had passed, and Stella had not seen Weston since.
Roger would occasionally ask her about her current progress with Weston, to which Stella would answer him truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Roger immediately fell into silence. “How is that possible?”
The man would always find a way to show up or pester Stella whenever he got the chance. How could he not show up for a month?
This was completely unlike him.
Stella smiled and shrugged without taking it to heart. “Perhaps he has been pestering me for too long that he suddenly thinks it is unnecessary anymore and finds it boring…”
Even Roger did not believe her.
A man like Weston could get tired of Stella?
How was this possible?
Considering his previous actions, he should be wishing he could die on Stella.
But Roger did not say these things out loud.
Since Stella thought Weston was dispensable, he certainly would not ask for the trouble himself.
But as his disappearance got longer and longer, even Yvonne and the others felt
strange-
“Why do I feel Weston seems very busy lately?”
She worded it rather euphemistically.
Stella chuckled and said, “I haven’t seen him for a long time.”
“How is that possible?”
It was Angelina. “I heard from Henry that Weston didn’t have much to keep him busy these days. The acquisition has long been over. Didn’t he come to see you?”
She shook her head, not very willing to talk about him.
Before leaving, Angelina and Yvonne stayed behind for a chat.
Yvonne whispered in Angelina’s ear. “Aren’t you with Henry? He and Weston are good buddies. You should know what happened to him recently, right?”
Angelina smiled, shook her head, and said, “I am really not sure…”
“Go ask Henry then.”
Angelina hesitated. “I don’t want to see him now.”
“What’s wrong? Are you guys having an argument?”
Yvonne looked at her and asked in concern.
Angelina shook her head. “No.”
She propped her face and sighed. “I want to ask you something.”
“What is it?”
“If you find out one day that you actually have amnesia and now you remember everything, and it turns out that Dr. Quirk has been lying to you and he has done you wrong in the past, but he is now treating you well, and you have a child, what are you going to do?”
Hearing her words, Yvonne opened her mouth wide all of a sudden. “You have amnesia?”
Angelina sighed, looking very sad.
If only she did not remember, she would only care about how Henry was treating her now. And she would not care if she could not remember what happened in the past.
But now that she remembered, how could she not care about the damage he had
done before?
With Henry’s character, he would not let go easily.
She was also worried that if she told him that she had remembered everything, Henry would directly snatch the custody of the child from her.
Now he did not know that she had recovered her memory. He treated her carefully, fearing that she would remember what happened before and leave him.
Seeing that Angelina also had her own worries, Yvonne shook her head. She was a little worried about Stella but did not say anything.
She was not sure whether the current situation was good or bad.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1415
Yvonne had been very much against Weston appearing in front of Stella, but looking at Stella now, it did not seem like she was having much of a good time without Weston. It didn’t seem like a bad one, either.
After pondering about it, she thought there should not be another man in this world like Weston, who was so deeply in love with Stella, one who loved her to the extreme.
This kind of love was so strong that it was suffocating. She did not know if it was a blessing or a disaster.
Stella wanted to concentrate on her work in the studio when the receptionist told her that a gentleman was waiting for her.
She froze for a moment and instinctively thought of Weston. Her face changed, and she said, “Okay, I know.”
She could not describe what she felt, as if she seemed a little relieved to know that Weston had come over to see her.
She walked into the office and saw a tall man with a broad back sitting on the couch waiting for her.
She gathered her emotions. “Disappearing for so long and then suddenly coming out of nowhere, what do you take me for?”
She walked over to the desk and sat down, froze when she saw the man on the couch looking up.
Surprisingly, it was not Weston.
Instead, it was Hayden.
Hayden looked at her and smiled. “Disappointed it’s not Weston?”
Stella came to her senses and said, “What brings you here?”
Hayden stood up and walked to her. “I didn’t make myself clear on the phone last
time, so I wanted to come over and chat with you this time.”
What could there be to talk about between the two of them? It was just about Weston.
She stretched the corner of her mouth with a little expression on her face. “I don’t think there’s anything to talk about between us.”
“Weston hasn’t been coming to you all this time, and you’re not the least curious?”
“What’s there to be curious about?”
She looked at him, smiling. “The relationship between us was supposed to be about not caring too much about each other. Whether he shows up or not is his own. choice; it shouldn’t have anything to do with me.”
After hearing her words, he looked at her and sighed after a long time. “What if I told you that he actually wanted to come to you but couldn’t?”
She gave a faint laugh. “Don’t tell me that he is now restricted in his personal freedom?”
She poured a cup of coffee for him and shrugged. “With Weston’s current status in Ahn City, I think no one dares to restrict his freedom. I don’t have any opinion if he does not want to come, and there is no need for you to be a mediator and say some unrelated things.”
He looked fixedly at her and said, “You actually care about him. Why do you have to be so indifferent?”
Her face instantly went cold. “Dr. Quirk, if there’s nothing else, I have work to do, so please leave.”
“Weston is in the nursing home. You can go over and look, then you will know why he has not come to you recently.”
He said this before leaving.
She remained silent for a long time until the coffee ran down her hands, then only she pulled a tissue and wiped it.
This time, it was a different nursing home.
It was more secluded than the last one and looked much deserted.
The address Hayden sent over was in her phone, and she found Weston’s room.
without much effort.
Thud! Thud!
She knocked on the door.
A low, growling male voice came from inside. “Get out of here! Get the hell away!”
It was hysterical, like a wild animal.
Soon, she heard the sound of chains clanking again.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1416
If she was right, Weston had tied himself up again.
Stella stood in the doorway, her hand on the wall, not daring to take that step even after a good bout of mental preparation.
It was unclear how much time had gone by before she knocked on the door.
“Bang!” Something was smashed inside the room. It hit the door and fell to the ground, and broke.
“I told you to get lost! Can’t you understand?”
Stella took a deep breath and said to the person inside, “It’s me.”
In an instant, the voice inside subsided.
She did not know how long it took, so long that Stella thought she should knock on the door again when Weston’s raspy voice rang from inside.
“What are you doing here?”
She let out an unintentional chuckle. “What do you think I’m doing here?”
There was no answer.
She heard dragging footsteps coming in the direction of the door and the sound of chains scraping on the floor.
Her breathing became a little slower as she waited for him to reach the door.
The sound of chains clanking came to an abrupt end, seemingly stopping at that
spot.
She frowned. “What’s wrong?”
His silence continued, and the clanking instantly stopped.
She suddenly wondered if his movement was restricted, and she thought of the last time she saw him inside that dimly lit room, chained up inside a steel cage where he could not move more than a few steps.
She put her hand on the doorknob. “Where is the key?”
He did not say a word, so she slapped hard on the door at once. “I am asking you where the key is.”
Still, he didn’t answer.
She took a deep breath. “You don’t want to tell me, do you? Alright, I have another way to get it.”
She went to Ben and asked, “What the hell is going on with Weston? Why did he lock himself in his room again?”
Seeing her coming over, Ben breathed a sigh of relief and said with some concern, Mr. Ford ordered that no one can let him out now…”
“He’s nuts. Now that he’s acting crazy, are you about to go crazy with him?”
She looked at Ben in disbelief. “Ben, I thought you were a sensible man.”
Ben was embarrassed.
Even though he knew it, he could not stop Weston from doing what he wanted!
He was just an employee.
“Mr. Ford is in an extreme mental state. If I don’t follow his order, he won’t be able to resist going to you…”
“Then just let him come.”
She said helplessly, “It’s better than him locking himself up! Look at him now. Does he look like a normal person?”
“But…”
He did not know what to say.
Weston was just worried that he would bring trouble to Stella if he went back to her. This was why he tied himself up in this place.
But now that Stella said so, Ben felt she was not so heartless to Weston.
Ultimately, he took the liberty of giving the key to Stella. “If Mr. Ford blames me…‘
“Don’t worry. If he does, tell him to blame me instead.”
“Thank you, Ben,” she interrupted.
“You don’t have to.”
Ben hurriedly shook his head and sighed. “I don’t want to see Mr. Ford continue like this. I hope this time he can recover.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1417
Stella opened the door of the dimly lit room and walked in.
Weston did not move a muscle when he heard the noise. He could tell who was coming in just by the sound of the footsteps.
He hid in the corner when she came up behind him, giving him a gentle pat as she put her hand on his shoulder.
He immediately turned his head sideways.
Seeing him in this state, her hands trembled a little. She whispered behind his ear only after a long time, “It’s me…”
Of course, he knew it was her.
But he didn’t want her to see him like this.
The chains that shackled him rattled noisily as he moved.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and her red eyes showed incredulity. “Why must you make yourself like this?”
“I didn’t mean to…”
He said to her with a hoarse voice. “I didn’t ask you to come over either. It’s you who wanted to. I didn’t want you to see me like this, and I certainly didn’t want you to pity me.”
She held his hand tightly at once and put her forehead against his palm. “I did not pity you, nor…”
She suddenly choked and couldn’t continue.
“Are you not pitying me when you’re like this?”
He silently pulled his hand out and lowered his head. “Go away.”
His words made Stella could not help but get annoyed. “Do you really want me to go?”
“Didn’t you want to see me? Then what are you doing coming to me again? Do you think you’re generous by showing kindness? You can still appear in front of your nasty ex–husband out of sympathy?”
At the end of the day, the last thing he wanted was tol
be the only thing left between them.
He would rather just disappear from her sight.
But how could he manage to stop seeing her?
As long as he heard her voice, saw her face, or just her shadow, there was no way he could leave.
He wanted to hold her tightly and bind her to his side, not allowed to leave. He
wanted her to look into his eyes and listen to his words, to be kissed and embraced only by him.
Weston would be in immense pain as soon as these thoughts popped into his mind. He could not be like this, using his obsessive and pathetic fantasy to tie Stella to him. As long as his illness worsened, he would forever be a burden to Stella.
She even stopped refusing him anymore.
He still remembered that day in the office when she clearly did not like it but went along with him.
He did not want her to be like that.
He wanted her to blame him, refuse him, and even hurt him. Only then would he have a little peace of mind.
It would make him know that it was the lively Stella in front of him, not a marionette who only obeyed him because he was pitiful.
Stella did not know what was going through his mind and told the doctor, “Put him on the bed.”
As soon as the men touched him, he waved them away.
He would not let anyone touch him.
She sighed and walked up to him. “I’ll do it myself. Is that okay?”
The man’s thin lips pursed into a straight line, looking highly guarded.
But it was obvious that he couldn’t refuse Stella’s touch. He even coveted it a little.
She looked at him in this state and shook her head. She wetted a towel and wiped his body. When her hand reached his wound, she deliberately exerted a little force.
Weston hissed and gasped but still refused to cry out in pain. It put her at ease,
though.
“Serves you right,” she said.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1418
It was what Stella had said herself, but the touch of her hands subconsciously became lighter.
Weston looked at her and wished she wasn’t so gentle.
Instead, she could’ve been a little rougher, to hurt him, to make him feel the pain. Perhaps, only then would he feel more secure.
She was completely unaware of what was going through Weston’s mind.
She lowered her head and treated his wounds carefully.
He reached his hand out and touched her cheek, then tucked the hair beside her cheek behind her ear.
She felt itchy and tilted her head a little, wanting to dodge his touch.
The man’s face suddenly turned gloomy, yet he did not say anything.
When she finished treating his wounds, he looked away. “You can go.”
He said, “I don’t need your pity.”
She was startled and looked at him. “How can there be someone who is so ungrateful as you? You were enjoying yourself while I was bandaging you, and now that I’ve calmed you down, you’re chasing me away?”
He gritted his teeth. “I didn’t let you go.”
How could he do that?
He would never let her go. He would do whatever he could to keep her by his side.
But that would be a burden for her.
In those past years, he had never given her happiness.
Now he was unwilling to make it difficult for her by not being able to control his emotions like a loser.
He could not stand the look of impatience and disgust in her eyes, but he could not stand the fact that she would give in to him, would not even fight it, and would just let him do what he wanted to her however he liked.
This would only make him think that he was a loser.
Not only could he not give her happiness, but he also made her give in to him and
worry about his mental state.
For men, dignity was engraved in the bones, especially for a somewhat conservative man like Weston. He would never allow himself to be a weakling to a woman.
She tossed the bandage aside and stood up. “Since you already said so, I will leave.”
After that, she made a move to leave.
Just as she reached the door, she heard a clamoring sound of chains from behind her.
He almost staggered to his feet and swept her into his arms from behind, holding her tightly without a word.
She could feel his force. It was about to break her back.
His arms were strong, like iron, and a brick wall covered her.
She gritted her teeth tightly and could feel his heavy breathing ringing in her ears.
She wanted to raise her hands to push him away many times, but in the end, she only put his hands on his arms and gradually tightened her grip.
“If you don’t want me to leave, you must tell me.”
He breathed heavily and was reluctant to speak.
She shut her eyes. “If you don’t say it, I will leave.”
“Don’t go…”
He finally said it with his hoarse voice. “Don’t leave me.”
He almost choked up. “Don’t go, please don’t go… Stay with me.”
She could feel his emotions and the sudden sticky sensation on her shoulder.
Not wanting to think about the damp and moist thing, she just closed her eyes and let him hold her.
After a long time, she felt him slowly letting go of her.
Then, he turned his back on her. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t control my emotions.”
He gritted his teeth and walked back in, locking the cage.
She frowned and walked quickly to his front, “I came over to tell you that you need not lock yourself up again. You can see me if you want to. What’s this entering–and- exiting–the–cage show for?”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1419
It was just moments ago when he held her as if he wouldn’t let her go, yet he was now hiding in the cage.
Stella wondered how this man could change his face so quickly.
He did not even dare to look up at her, burying his face with his palms. “While I still have some sense left in me, go away…”
She took a deep breath. “Have you thought it through? I’m giving you one last chance. Do you really want me to go?”
He remained silent, and his head hung low, casting a long shadow.
Thus, she gave him one last look and turned to leave.
Since he wouldn’t ask her to stay, even if he could not resist opening his mouth just now, he would still backtrack and let her go.
Then she would leave. It was not her begging him to stay, so why would she pamper him?
Bang!
The door of the room was closed.
Ben heard the sound and rushed to Stella. “Mrs. Ford, what’s the situation?”
She gave him a look. “He and I divorced long ago. You do not need to call me Mrs.”
“Okay, Mrs. Ford.”
Stella was speechless.
Her head felt tight. “How long has he been in this situation anyway?”
“The symptoms started three years ago actually, but he did not take it seriously at that time, besides…”
Ben said helplessly, “His condition was much more serious back then, but we did not notice it since he was still thinking about how to resurrect you at that time.”
Weston was more like a madman at that time, though it’s not like he’s any less crazier now.
However, there was a difference between a madman and a lunatic.
Ben really did not think that without Stella, Weston would be crazy.
With Stella, Weston would still be crazy.
Stella did not say anything, glanced at the closed door, and sighed.
“He told me to leave just now.”
“How can that be?” Ben’s first reaction was disbelief. “How could he have let you go?”
Stella said, “I don’t know, but I don’t have the heart to find out. I made a special trip over here yet I was driven out by him.”
“Wait! Mr. Ford must have a reason…”
“I don’t care.”
She said to him, “I have done my best. He is on his own now.”
After saying that, she turned around to leave.
Ben stared at the closed door; his eyes were full of concern.
A black sedan parked in the yard of the nursing home.
She walked to the car to see Hayden sitting there writing something.
She opened the car and sat beside him. “How exactly can we make him normal again?”
She asked him as soon as she got into the car. “If this goes on, his condition will only get worse.”
Hayden did not show much surprise when he saw her. He rubbed his glabella and handed her the file in his hand. “This is the report of his mental state during this period. You might want to have a look.”
She frowned and flipped a few pages. “These are all jargon. I can’t read them.”
“In simpler words, his mental problems have basically been caused by you.”
Seeing Stella looking toward him with a sick face, he explained, “I’m not blaming it on you, but I just wanted to tell you how it started. But of course, you can choose to stand by and do nothing, except that in his current state, only you can make him normal.”
“I just went to see him, and he repelled me.”
“That’s because he doesn’t want to hurt you.”
Hayden said, “Maybe you shouldn’t have acted like a savior…“
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1420
Stella froze for a moment, seeming to ponder his words.
It was true that she had not thought that she was still treating Weston as a savior.
But she could not deny that her tenderness toward Weston was mostly out of pity.
Other than that, whether it was a few other feelings, she was not sure and did not want to figure it out.
“If you don’t really like, or are willing to be with him, I suggest you stop seeing him for a while. Weston may want to be tied to you, but his heart feels that you will have a better life without him. That’s why he’s so conflicted.”
She nodded and closed the car door.
After she left, Hayden glanced in the direction she had left and went to see Weston at the nursing home.
He was really in a much more unstable state than he had been earlier, especially after Stella had seen him. It was almost impossible for him to stop himself from wanting her.
Hayden was a bit upset to see him in such a state.
Three years ago, he had some feelings for Stella, but it all dissipated with her fake death.
It had been three years, and that feeling had naturally faded quite a bit.
He looked at the man in front of him and said, “In fact, according to her current feelings for you, as long as you are willing to let her come to your side, she will not go.”
Weston sat in the iron cage with one hand on the knee. His eyes were dull, and he said coldly, “In your heart, you know better than anyone that even if she is willing to stay by my side, it’ll be only because she pities me.”
“What’s wrong with letting her pity you? Didn’t you say it before that you could do anything as long as she was willing to stay by your side?”
“Yes, I am willing to do anything. I am willing to pay any price, but…”
Weston closed his eyes, and his voice sounded extremely sad. “I don’t want to trouble her.”
“Is that so?”
Hayden suddenly walked up to him and looked at his expression, thinking for a moment.
In the car, Stella’s phone suddenly rang. It was Hayden calling her.
She frowned and answered it. “Dr. Quirk, what else can I do for you?”
Hayden said to her on the other end, “Hold on.”
Then, he took his phone, walked up to Weston, and said, “You just said that you don’t want to force her. So think about it. If you don’t want her by your side because of pity, she might leave you and, perhaps, go out with someone else when she finds someone suitable. Do you not even care about this?”
Stella froze for a while. She understood his intention and remained silent, waiting on the other end of the phone to listen to Weston’s answer.
She heard the sound of chains rattling.
Weston seemed to stand up in the cage.
He gritted his teeth and wheezed. “As long as she’s happy…”
“You mean you’re willing to let go of her as long as she’s happy? Even if she is with another man, you can still bless her?”
When Hayden said that, Stella thought that he was provoking Weston.
What was he trying to do?
Did he want to see Weston go crazy?
Hayden calmly asked him, “You should know in your heart that it’ll be impossible that she remains faithful to only you. She is still so young and has a successful career. She is wealthy, beautiful, and has a high standing in society. Even though she has children, she is still highly sought–after. Though Stella has experienced so much, she still retains her beauty. Let’s not go far; how many people around her are drooling over her? There might be one or two men among them that Stella will be interested in. Maybe she’s not in a hurry to date anyone yet, but one day she’ll meet someone she likes who’s more suitable than you…”
Bang!
