Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1421
A loud bang interrupted Hayden’s speech.
Even Stella could feel the deafening noise from the call. Weston, however, didn’t say anything.
After a long silence, she finally heard him forcing his word through gritted teeth,” Yes.”
Weston said, “I’d rather see her be happy.”
Stella fell into a long silence.
At last, she hung up the call and closed her eyes without saying anything. She thought, ‘That’s what you say, Weston.‘
Stella did not see Weston again after that day. There was no point in trying to pity him after his statement.
Roger found out about it somehow and talked to Stella. “Did Weston really say that?”
“He didn’t tell me in person, but that’s what he said to Hayden.”
“He’d even let you be with another man.”
Stella nodded. “But I’m not going to be with someone else just because of that. If I’m going to date someone, it’ll be because of love. I’m not going to date someone just to piss someone off.”
Stella’s answer made Roger feel a little weak. It was as if she had read his mind.
He cleared his throat. “Even so, you can get to know more people. You don’t have to date them. Just treat it as socializing and making new friends.”
Roger behaved normally with Stella again. He was obsessed with getting closer to her and stepping over the boundary at one point. However, after going through so much, he seemed to have returned to his old calm self again.
He told Stella, “You’re free lately anyway. Why not go out to meet some handsome men? I’ll introduce them to you.”
Stella looked at him with doubtful eyes. “Are you sure?”
Stella didn’t trust Roger and disagreed with his suggestion.
The next day, Stella got a call from Roger after taking Emma and Elias home. Roger invited her to join him at the restaurant for a meal.
When she brought Emma and Elias over, Roger took the two little ones for a walk and told her to wait for him there.
She was about to make her order when she looked up and found a strange man sitting across the table.
“The seat is taken,” she said with a frown.
“I know. I’m here for you, Miss Cicily,” the man answered with a smile. He was
wearing a white shirt and suited with an elite look. He seemed older than her and quite mature.
The man was not particularly good–looking, but he seemed like a gentleman.
Stella immediately understood and rubbed her brow helplessly. “Did Roger say something to you?”
“Yes, of course. I’ve heard a lot about you.”
He observed her and was very polite to her. “May I have the pleasure of joining you for this meal?” he asked attentively and gazed at Stella affectionately.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1422
Stella thought having a meal with a stranger was fine. After all, Roger was right about her being too shut off in her own world. It was as if Weston was the only man in her world. It would be good for her to get to know more people.
Besides, Stella needed to figure out her real feelings for Weston. Was it just pity and sympathy and no other emotions? Or maybe she still had a little love left for him?
Anyway, Stella would soon find out her real feelings for Weston. Weston was the only man she was close to in the past few years. She was not close to any other man other than someone like Roger.
Well, there was Justin, but she only reached out to him out of desperation. Due to Weston’s intervention, her brief relationship with Justin ended before she could even get along with him.
Stella could sense Justin’s feelings at that time. He was probably just trying to save her at that time or disliked Weston’s control over her.
When she thought about it, it appeared Weston was the only one who shared such a relationship with her.
The man sitting across saw Stella lost in deep thought and interrupted her, “Miss Cicily. Do you think it’s boring having coffee with me?”
Stella returned to her senses and responded with a smile, “No.”
The gentleman ordered Stella a cup of hand–ground coffee and told her about the differences between the various types of coffee.
Stella listened patiently but eventually got distracted.
Seeing this look, the man laughed a little. “Sorry. I kept talking. Miss Cicily, is there anything you want to talk to me about?”
Stella paused a little before telling him, “You seem very enthusiastic about coffee, but I remember Roger telling me that you run a company.”
In some way, Stella was trying to find him a topic. As expected, the man laughed and proudly said, “Indeed. I worked in a coffee shop before I started my own company. I didn’t think of starting a business at that time. I was poor and thought I would be a barista for life. I eventually started my own business at the right time, but I didn’t expect that it’d reach such a scale today.”
“I see. You started your own business.” Stella nodded. “That’s pretty amazing.”
“Really?” The man was a little flattered. “Miss Cicily, that’s nice of you.”
“No, I really think it’s great.”
The man said humbly, “Well, I thought Miss Cicily wouldn’t be impressed with a company of my size because you had an ex–husband like Mr. Ford.”
Stella was lost for words. She answered with a polite smile, “You can’t say that. He was born rich, but you started from nothing. It’s different. Besides, my relationship with him has long ended. He has nothing to do with me. He’s just my ex–husband.
Let’s not mention him.”
The man smiled without saying anything and offered to talk Stella out for a walk after that.
Stella was actually a little disinterested in him at this point, but as she thought of Roger’s words, she decided to go along with him. However, she did not expect him to take her straight to a car show.
Stella was puzzled seeing the beautiful model posing with the car. “Why did you bring me here?”
“Earlier, I saw you came over with a driver. After seeing your old car, I thought of getting you a new model.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1423
The man was very attentive and enthusiastic. “Don’t worry. I know the boss here. He’s a friend of mine. Just tell me if you have any car you like.”
Stella hurriedly shook her head and rejected him. “No, it’s too expensive for me to accept.”
The man’s smile became derisive. “So you don’t find the cars here any better than Mr. Ford’s Maybach and Rolls–Royce?”
Stella was stunned for a moment. She did not think if her words had expressed anything like this, but she simply found it inappropriate to accept such an extravagant gift from someone she had just met.
She wondered if it was just an imagination, but she found the man’s speech strange.
“A small business owner like me is certainly no match for a powerful man like Mr. Ford… But I’m not too bad. I can’t provide you with a luxurious life, but you’ll live better than most women.”
Stella finally knew what was wrong. Stella only had the intention of making friends. Although this was their first meeting, the man was already treating her like his property.
“Sorry,” Stella said to him with a smile, “but I can give myself a good life.”
The man frowned a little and seemed to disapprove of her words. However, he did not want to embarrass her. He nodded briefly and said perfunctorily, “I heard that actresses nowadays can make a lot of money…”
Despite saying that, he had a prejudice against her at heart. Even if actresses could make a lot of money, they had to sell themself and please men around them to get there. Besides, Stella was not a popular actress. She was just a pianist with a good reputation. How much could Stella earn? He thought she was just living off Weston. Seeing that he did not take her words seriously, Stella told him, “You seem to be very interested in the car show. I have something to do, so I can’t accompany you any longer. Enjoy.”
Stella was about to leave right after saying that.
The man was quite surprised and looked at her. “You’re leaving?”
Stella answered with a nod.
The man seemed unhappy and was holding back his temper. “You don’t like any of the cars here? It’s okay. The next show…”
“Excuse me,” Stella interrupted him coldly, “I don’t need a car.”
The man finally got the message and laughed. “If you didn’t have the intention, why go on a blind date with me?”
Stella said, “Blind date?”
‘Roger!‘ Stella grumbled at heart. Roger had set her up! He never said it was a blind date and told her to make some new friends.
That explained why he wanted to buy her a new car at their first meeting. No one would settle down as soon as they meet on a blind date, right?
The man saw her displeased look and said solemnly, “Miss Cicily, let’s be frank. I know you have high standards because of your ex–husband. However, youth and purity are the most important thing for women. You have two children with another man. Although still young, this will be your second marriage. That alone makes you less desirable in the market!” 1
The man eased his expression after seeing Stella’s coldness. “Well, I’m not saying that you’re worthless. You’re beautiful and only in your twenties. You’re also an internationally famous pianist. Many men will still find you attractive, but successful men may go for less talented but young, beautiful, obedient women.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1424
The man suddenly raised his chin and gestured for Stella to look at the women standing around those luxury cars.
Stella followed his gaze and saw a group of beautiful car models. Many men’s focus was on the women, not the car.
The man smiled and said, “There are a lot of young and beautiful women nowadays. All kinds of women would come after you as long as you’re rich. Well, I have some standards myself. It’s fine to have fun with these women, but there are many aspects to consider in finding a marriage partner.”
Stella frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable at his words. “What are you trying to say to me?”
“I don’t have any other ideas. I just want to share my thoughts. I’m willing to spend money on you, but I hope you won’t take advantage of my sincerity.”
“Of course, I’m not saying that you’re taking advantage of me, but there are indeed lots of women like that. They think they can do anything they want just because of my kindness. I don’t want things to turn sour between us. I believe you should be an understanding woman…”
The man seemed to be guilt–tripping Stella with words. It was as if disobeying his wish would be disrespectful and ungrateful.
Stella suddenly felt a bit disgusted. “Since you already have someone you love, let’s not waste each other’s time.” After saying that, she gave him a slight nod and turned to leave.
The man was stunned by her reaction and hurriedly chased after her. “What do you mean? What do you mean by someone I love?”
“The woman earlier seems to have a great relationship with you. I’m not young anymore and have two children. As you said earlier, a lady like me is less desirable to dislike me that much, there’s no need to keep wasting each other’s time.”
men. if you
The man’s face immediately turned sour. “It seems like my words are in vain. I don’t dislike you. I’m just saying that you shouldn’t keep your standards so high just because of your first marriage with Weston!”
Stella didn’t know how to respond to him.
The man saw Stella’s irritated look and thought he had convinced her. He smugly said, “I’d like to be frank with you. You’re right. That woman from earlier is indeed
interested in me, but I’ve rejected her clearly. It’s impossible between her and me. You may not like to hear what I said, but I hope you can listen to my heartfelt words. Men and women will always be different, you know?”
“What’s different?” Stella looked at him with a meaningful smirk. “What time and age is it?”
The man frowned. “I remember telling you at the beginning. I’m a relatively conservative man.”
Stella rubbed her temple and was out of patience. “Whatever. I’m busy and leaving.”
Stella thought this was the end of the story, but she never imagined that the man would not give up. In the end, he directly sent the car to her studio.
Inside the black Maybach, Ben observed Weston’s face and cautiously told him, “He seems to be a new friend of Mrs. Ford. She just met him the other day.”
“New friend?” Weston turned to Ben with a sharp gaze. “And?”
A little startled, Ben explained with a slight nod. “Roger introduced him to her. I think he’s just a friend.”
“An ordinary friend wouldn’t give her a car as a gift,” Hayden interrupted Ben and observed Weston with a meaningful smirk.
“Mr. Ford, you should know what this means. Stella has already moved on. She’s dating. They’re probably in a good relationship. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given her a car so generously.”
Weston glanced at the Alpha at the studio’s entrance and sneered. “How could he give her such a cheap car?”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1425
Weston had never bought anything so cheap for Stella.
Hayden, however, continued to irritate him. “If you look around, not many can compare to you in wealth, but so what? Stella has nothing to do with you and doesn’t want your gift to her either. You’ve promised to leave her in peace. Even if a man gifts her a cheaper gift, it’s none of your business.”
Weston’s face seemed to turn gloomy at Hayden’s words. He did not show much expression on his face, but it was clear that he was on the verge of anger.
Ben thought Weston would lose it, but it did not happen. Instead, Weston took a deep breath and said indifferently, “You’re right. She should get to know more men.”
Ben was stunned to hear this and turned to Weston in disbelief. He could not believe this was coming from him.
Let Stella get to know more men? Was that something Weston would say? Was he a fool?
Hayden was a little surprised but not as shocked as Ben. He looked Weston up and down and teased, “Mr. Ford. You’re not going to act as a gatekeeper who determines the man Stella could date, are you?”
“Why not?” Weston gave him a look and said softly, “At least I read people better than her. This man is clearly a miser. He can barely afford Stella. Tell him to get lost.”
Hayden said with some amusement, “You should know Stella well. She’s not the kind of woman that wants to be spoiled.”
“There’s no conflict between her not letting others spoil her and the other person’s ability to do so.”
“And what does that have to do with you?” Hayden questioned. It seemed like he would not stop until Weston broke down.
Hayden reminded Weston, “You’re just her ex–husband now. You’ve decided to leave her in peace. She can be with any man she wants, and what does it have to do with you?”
Hayden expected Weston’s denial, but Weston calmly retorted him instead. “Even if I’m letting her go, I’ll at least ensure she’ll have a good life in the future.”
“So that’s why you’re keeping an eye on her?”
Instead of answering, Weston had the car pulled away.
Ben did as ordered without saying a word.
Hayden continued, “You haven’t even investigated this man. Why are you assuming he’s not right for Stella?”
“Such a miser is in no way a match for her. Tell Roger this: if he wants to introduce a man to Stella, he has to come to me to get my approval.”
The usually calm Hayden couldn’t help but silently curse at Weston’s insanity.
Weston was clearly still concerned about Stella but pretended to push her away. Hayden was waiting to see the day Weston would regret in pain!
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1426
Stella got a call from Roger just after she finished work at the studio. “How was it?” Roger asked eagerly.
Stella straightforwardly told him, “Don’t ever set me up with a man like that again.”
“What’s wrong?”
Roger could tell that the blind date did not go well just by hearing her tone. He was stunned for a long time after Stella told him what had happened. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think he would be like that…”
Roger had dealt with him several times and thought he was a reliable man. Hence, he introduced him to Stella because he thought he was nice.
Stella rubbed her temple. “Forget it. I don’t really care about a man’s appearance. What made you think I would actually like a guy like this?”
Although she said that, the man’s average look was not the main reason that turned her off. It was because of his extremely disrespectful words to her and how he assumed she was his right off the bat.
Roger sighed. “Okay, I understand.”
Stella expected Roger to stop for a while. Instead, he returned the next day and selected many men for her to choose from.
Stella felt troubled. “Didn’t I tell you to stop?”
“How can I? What if you decide that Weston is much better and go back to him again?”
Roger’s obsession with Stella had already diminished, but he would not budge on just one thing. He did not want to see Stella and Weston ever reuniting again.
Stella had a headache. “I know you’re doing it for my own good, but I really…”
“I really don’t want to meet strange people like that again,” Stella said, almost in tears. a
“Trust me! It’ll be different this time! The man’s profile has gone through layers of screening. He’s definitely a nice man!”
Roger sounded very sincere.
“Besides, I’m not the only one who thinks he’s a good person.”
“Who else?”
Stella keenly noticed the strange tone in his words.
Roger avoided her eyes and told her, “You’ll know when you get there.”
Stella could not counter him and had no choice but to agree. However, she was not quite that enthusiastic about the meeting.
Stella wouldn’t be doing these pointless things if not for the need for some distraction. Fortunately, the second man Roger introduced seemed much more reliable.
The two met in the same long–established cafe. It was a music restaurant where one could listen to live piano music while enjoying coffee.
As soon as Stella sat down, the man opened the napkin for her and asked her like a gentleman. “What would you like to drink?”
He was a good–looking man and seemed elegant, but Stella could not tell his age from his appearance. She guessed that he was probably in his thirties.
“Hello. I’m Cicily.”
“I know you, Cicily,” he said, smiling at her. “I’ve heard all your music.” Then, he quickly named a few of her famous pieces.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1427
Stella smiled. It seemed like he had come prepared.
Stella enjoyed chatting with the man. He was sincere and introduced himself properly as soon as they started chatting.
The man was also a pianist and came from a scholarly family. Although not super wealthy, he was doing considerably well in the middle class. Stella would not need to worry about the quality of life with him, but that was about it. She certainly could not live a luxurious life.
Stella had a good impression of him. She also talked to him a little more about piano music.
Stella twirled her hair and smiled. She told him with a nice voice, “I’m sure Roger has already told you about my situation.”
“I know.”
The man looked at her gently and set the coffee in front of her. He said to her, “I’m very interested in you. I think we’re very suitable for each other. Our living standards nowadays have improved quite a bit. Not many look for a partner purely because of material qualities. People with emotional needs will search for someone with whom they share mutual feelings, common language, and hobbies.”
Stella nodded. “You and I think alike.”
The man responded with a gentle smile but did not rush to get into a relationship with her. He seemed unhurried, which made Stella feel quite relaxed with him.
After the coffee, the man offered to go for a walk. Stella agreed.
The two strolled casually along the street and did not notice a black Maybach parked on the corner not far from the cafe.
Meanwhile, in the Maybach.
Weston’s gaze was cold and somewhat frightening.
Roger said disinterestedly, “You saw it. I admit. I think he’s pretty good, so I introduced him to her. What’s wrong with that?”
Weston said coldly, “I remember warning you before. This man isn’t reliable, so you shouldn’t have introduced him to Stella.”
“Unreliable? How is that so? I think he’s pretty good.” Roger let out a laugh and tsk- ed. “Besides, it’s over between you and her. You’ve decided to let her go. Stop minding her business.”
“If you want me to leave her alone, at least let me feel at ease.”
Weston rubbed his temple slightly and kept looking at the two taking a stroll not far away. As his gaze turned colder, he said, “He’s just putting on a show. He’s good at acting and will easily deceive your sister.”
“That’s just your prejudice. You don’t know him. I knew him from abroad and dealt with him. He’s quite nice and hasn’t got married before. He’s pursuing a soulmate and won’t discriminate against my sister for being married before and having children.”
Weston snickered, “Do you really think he’s some kind of innocent boy? He’s already at this age and has never been in a serious relationship. He’s been with many women from his schooling days but never had a serious relationship with any of them. Do you think someone like him can be responsible?”
Roger frowned again. “There’ll always be some sort of bad nature in men. He had a lot of women, so what? At least he’s now serious about my sister.”
“Is that so?” Weston directly threw a stack of documents in front of him. “He has made several women have abortions. He always acts like an affectionate person, but do you really know his true colors?”
Roger’s face changed at that. He did not expect the man he introduced to Stella to have such a history. He always thought he was not the kind of person who messed around because of the artist’s vibe about him.
Weston tapped his fingers on the steering wheel in silence. Then, he suddenly took out his phone and sent a text message to Stella.
Stella was walking down the street with the man next to her when her phone vibrated. After glancing at the new message on her phone, she told him, “Sorry. I have to go.”
The man was stunned for a moment but still sent her to the car in a gentlemanly manner. “I look forward to seeing you again…”
“No.” Weston suddenly appeared behind him. “Don’t ever appear in front of her again.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1428
Stella froze for a moment when she heard the voice. When she turned around, she saw that Weston had appeared behind her at some point.
Weston stared at the man behind Stella with a cold gaze and an icy aura around him. Weston had always emitted a strong aura around him. Anyone who saw him would immediately be terrified because of his intimidating aura.
The man froze for a moment at Weston’s sudden appearance. He took a step back and quickly steadied himself before greeting Weston, “Mr. Ford.”
He still had the same calm and gentle look. “I’m sending Miss Cicily back.”
“I know. Don’t ever show up in front of her again,” Weston told him. “You don’t have to send her back. Stay away from her.”
It would be a little inappropriate for the man to act a fool at Weston’s straightforwardness, so he tugged at his collar and asked Weston with a polite smile, “Mr. Ford, you should give me a reason, shouldn’t you? I’m having a good time with Miss Cicily.”
“You’re the one who thinks she’s having a good time.” Weston stood next to Stella and took her hand straight.
Stella frowned at Weston’s action. She wanted to withdraw her hand, but Weston held her hand tight and refused to let go.
“I know what’s in your mind. She’s not for you to hurt.”
The man’s expression changed. “From what I know, you’re already divorced from Miss Cicily. You’re not legally related anymore. Me pursuing her should be none of your business.”
Weston curled his lips. It seemed like a smile without a trace of warmth in his eyes. Instead, it looked a little scary. “You really know how to irritate me,” Weston said faintly, but the coldness in his eyes made the man take a half step back.
The man glanced at Stella and became a little confident seeing Stella impatience at Weston’s presence. He told Stella, “Miss Cicily, I’m sure you can tell. I’m very sincere about being with you…”
“So what if you’re sincere? It’s worth nothing.” Weston straightened his wristwatch and gave him an indifferent look. “Wait until the day your sincerity can affect the stock market, and then come back to me and tell me about your sincerity.”
Stella glared at him: “Can you cut the crap?”
She turned to the man and told him, “Sorry. Today’s events must have upset you.”
The man smiled and simply ignored Weston. He said to Stella, “Can we meet again?”
Stella hesitated a little and shook her head. “Maybe not.”
Although she felt okay about him, she was not interested in him. Besides, judging by Weston’s attitude just now, she was afraid that Weston would make things difficult for him. All she wanted to was just to make a friend. There was no loss in not contacting each other again, but if Weston targeted him, she might drag him into the mess.
Sure enough, the man’s face paled a little. At last, he let out an inexplicable laugh and gave her a meaningful look before turning away and leaving reluctantly.
Stella exhaled and turned to Weston beside her. “Are you happy now?”
Then, she went straight to the car.
Weston hesitated a little and followed after her.
Stella did not say anything after the door was closed. After a short silence, Weston spoke first.
“He’s not for you.”
Stella simply ignored him. She closed her eyes and leaned her head against the window. As the car started, she swayed a little.
Weston hesitated for a moment before moving her head to his shoulder. “Lean on me.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1429
Stella opened her eyes and shot Weston a cold look. Then, she turned her head the other way.
Weston did not touch her again. He knew she was probably angry with him, so he stayed silent.
A few moments later, he reminded her, “Don’t be angry. That man is unreliable.” Stella propped her chin in her palm. “And what does that have to do with you?” Weston pursed his lips, setting his jaw in a tight line.
He said, “I’ve promised to stop pestering you. It’ll be a promise. I’m fine with seeing you with another man, but at least find someone who makes me feel at ease.”
“Why do I need your approval when I’m just looking for a date?” Stella found his words funny. “You’re just my ex–husband. Don’t you think you care too much?”
Weston rubbed his brow, and his voice suddenly went cold. “If you don’t want me to keep pestering you like I just did, maybe you should listen to me.”
Stella questioned, “Are you threatening me?”
“No. I’m suggesting.”
Stella was lost for words. Then, she suddenly laughed in amusement. “Fine. Let’s do as you say. Since you’re so unsure of my taste in men, please help me keep an eye out.”
Stella was just saying that from anger. Letting Weston choose a man for her simply seemed like a bad idea. However, she did not expect that Weston would take it seriously and actually pick someone for her.
Stella was already pretty famous and had many people who wanted to pursue her. Edward from abroad had been interested in her for a long time.
With Weston personally screening the men for her, many men in Ahn City became interested.
Weston looked at the sudden increase in information on his desk and felt a slight headache. He rubbed his temple and said, “What nonsense. Why are these people eyeing on her?”
Ben flipped the pages and could not help but say, “Aren’t they quite good?”
Weston picked out a few first. “Do you really think they’re good–looking enough?”
“But aren’t there several good–looking celebrities here?”
Weston frowned. “The male celebrities are unreliable. Besides, the entertainment industry is such a complicated place. There are so many good–looking people without any good qualities. How could they be worthy of her?”
Ben was lost for words. He glanced through a few profiles and selected a few again.” These men are young and talented. They are good–looking and have a good history.”
Weston took a few looks before turning to Ben. “Is he really considered young and talented?”
Ben said, “Well if we’re assuming you as the standard, how many can actually meet that standard?”
“If they can’t even match me, how can they give her happiness?”
Ben had no words and felt speechless. Finally, his eyes lit up when he saw a man’s profile.
“This man is great. He meets all your requirements. He’s good–looking and mature. He’s impressive and has a successful career. He’s one of Mr. Moore’s business partners and only in his early thirties. He’s at his prime and can give Ms. Sealey a stable life…”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1430
Weston raised his eyebrows at Ben’s words. “But he’s divorced. He has an ex–wife.”
“What’s wrong with having an ex–wife?”
Ben found Weston’s comment strange. “This man has good qualities. Upon investigation, he has a very good personality too. He was an active member during college. He also has an amazingly beautiful resume. It’s normal that a man like him has been married before… Besides, hasn’t Ms. Sealey been married before herself? She even has two children.”
Weston’s expression turned cold at once. “Are you discriminating against her?”
“I’m not.‘
Weston said, “Or do you think she can only find a divorced man for her second marriage?”
Ben panicked. “I wouldn’t dare!”
With Weston’s ridiculous amount of nitpicking, they could find no one that would match Stella.
Hayden sat beside and quietly reviewed Weston’s latest psychological health report. As he turned the page, he suddenly said, “I’m actually a little interested in Ms. Sealey.”
Hayden laughed a little and turned to Weston, whose face turned ugly. “Personally, I think I’m not bad.”
Ben wiped his cold sweat in fear. Even he could tell that Weston was not willing to give Stella away. What was Hayden doing? Was he jumping right into the fire?”
Weston threw away the materials in his hands and looked in Hayden’s direction. His expression seemed indifferent and unreadable. “Such a joke isn’t necessary.”
“I’m not joking.” Hayden’s tone was soft but serious.
“I had a crush on her three years ago, but I kept it to myself for moral reasons. I didn’t want to get into some complicated relationship now that you’re my employer, but since you seemed so motivated to find a suitable date for her, so I’d like to try.”
Hayden’s words worried Ben.
Weston’s face turned cold but remained unreadable. “How much better do you think you are compared to those men?”
I’m good–looking. Ms. Sealey seems to have approved of my looks. I’m financially capable and a top performer in my work. I don’t have a bad history or broken relationships. Lastly, I’m someone you trust.
Ben thought Weston would be furious at Hayden’s words, but Weston’s expression only changed slightly.. “One more thing. She has to be interested in you,” Weston actually approved of him and said, “I’m fine as long as she agrees.”
Ben’s jaw dropped at Weston’s reply.
Later, at Stella’s studio.
Stella was stunned for a long time after seeing Weston’s choice. “Hayden?”
Roger heard the name and came over. “What’s wrong?”
“Weston found the right man for me. It’s Hayden.” Stella said helplessly, “I think he’s probably crazy.”
Roger was a little surprised to hear that. “He really found you a man?”
‘That’s great,‘ Roger thought. He underestimated Weston, who was actually willing to find another man for Stella.
Stella found it unbelievable as well. Besides, Hayden was Weston’s psychiatrist. What was he thinking? Perhaps it was so unexpected that Stella agreed.
