Ch. 851..860
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 851
Yet, it worked like a charm with Lucas. He pinched her chin and kissed her lips. “As you wish…”
“Dr. Quirk, we’re in a car right now.”
“Then let’s keep it down unless you want the driver to hear us.”
He released her and covered her mouth with his palm while his other hand roamed southward on her body.
A while later, Yvonne’s body was all tensed up.
She tilted her head up, tears welling up in her ears as her body trembled, so overwhelmed that she couldn’t speak.
A low, hoarse voice came from below her.
“Since you claim that I’m very diligent in the bedroom, I can’t let you down, can I?”
Yvonne’s face flushed as she remained silent.
Weston had driven over by himself.
Stella sat on the front passenger seat and subconsciously turned to look at his side profile.
His face was expressionless as how it usually was.
If it weren’t for Ben’s heads-up, Stella wouldn’t have been able to tell what was wrong.
The car drove on past a couple of junctions.
Throughout the journey, Weston did not intend to be the first to speak, so Stella had no choice but to be the first to ask.
“How did you know that I was there?”
“I have people keeping track of your schedule.”
Stella nodded. “I’ve known Yvonne since long ago…”
“I know.”
Stella suddenly didn’t know what else to say.
She didn’t find it appropriate to claim outright that there was nothing between Caspian and her when Weston didn’t even ask. It would make her appear defensive, especially if Weston didn’t really care much about it.
Both of them fell silent.
A while later, Stella noticed that Weston was driving them back home.
“Where are we headed to?” she asked.
Weston remained silent.
He finally stopped the car in front of a supermarket.
‘Are we buying something from the supermarket?”
He turned to glance at her without a word.
Then, a while later, he finally opened his mouth. “Did you forget what day it is today?”
“What day is it?” Stella asked cautiously.
Weston’s face instantly became dark at her question. He tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel but didn’t answer.
She waited with bated breath, wondering if she had forgotten an important occasion today,
Was it his birthday?
That wasn’t right It wasn’t his birthday today, from what she remembered.
When they were married, Stella wanted to throw him a proper celebration for his birthday, but her intentions were met with Weston’s cold response. He simply remarked that he didn’t have the habit of celebrating his birthday.
That day, she waited for him at home until the wee hours of the morning, but he never returned home.
Not long later, he suddenly asked for a divorce..
Subsequently, she met Guinevere , who claimed that she was pregnant with Weston’s child.
The past was cruel.
Those memories of the past made Stella unable to face Weston calmly and rationally.
She could only force herself not to think back on the painful past.
But she truly could not remember what today was supposed to .be. Both of them got out of the car and entered the supermarket,
This was a large, membership-based supermarket, and only a few ladies were shopping inside.
Since Weston remained determinedly silent, Stella decided not to explain any further and simply stayed by his side as they browsed the shelves.
The two were currently staying in the apartment, and although the place was well-equipped, there were always trivial items that they lacked.
As Stella browsed through some daily essentials, she noticed Weston standing at the cashier looking at something.
She grabbed the items she needed and walked toward him. “I’m done…”
She had just spoken when she realized what he was looking at, which made her face flush red.
It was an entire shelf of condoms.
Hasn’t he always been … why was he suddenly looking at this?
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 852
These things were common and unsuprising.
Stella was not ashamed, but she was easily embarrassed. She could never be as bold as Weston was.
Weston picked the condoms with a straight face. When he heard Stella’s voice, he looked back at her and asked, “Which one do you like?”
Stella was rendered completely speechless. She wrinkled her nose slightly and shrugged uncomfortably. “Anything is fine.”
Weston frowned. “You say it’s fine now, but you’ll start whining and pouting in bed.”
Stella’s face instantly went beet-red.
Two young girls were shopping in the supermarket around them too. Weston was good-looking and easily drew others’ attention to him. The scene of a handsome man standing by the shelves and picking out condoms was striking enough. Worse, he had to say those words with such a straight face.
Stella really wanted to cover his mouth.
The few girls casually looked at them. Stella walked to Weston, grabbed a random box, and urged Weston to leave.
“Let’s go,” she whispered with gritted teeth.
“Wait.” Weston grabbed her wrist. He acted as if he did not notice the stares.
“What?” Stella asked inaudibly. She was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into a hole in the ground.
Weston said softly, “It’s not the right size. It’s too small.”
Stella was stunned in silence. A short moment later, she asked,” There are sizes for these? I thought they’re all the same…”
Weston raised his hand and gently tapped her on the forehead.” If it’s too small, it’ll be uncomfortable.”
Once again, Stella found herself unable to speak. She could feel sense the meaningful gazes of the few girls around them, and this made her feel a little hopeless.
Weston, however, thought she was very adorable this way. “Are you embarrassed?”
“What do you think?” Stella glared at him.
Weston brushed her hair. “Don’t be shy. It’s just a normal thing between couples.”
Stella muttered, “You can choose yourself. I’m leaving now.”
Weston gave her a helpless smile. Then, he put all the large sized ones on the shelf into the shopping cart. There were not many large ones left, and he took them all.
Stella could hear the girls around them gasping at his actions. She felt so hot and embarrassed.
This is so embarrassing, she thought to herself.
When they got to the car, Stella then remembered something.” Why did you suddenly buy all these? I thought we always…”
Stella and Weston rarely had protected sex. It was the same in their short-lived marriage. Weston would never practice protected sex. Therefore, she always thought he was willing to have a child with her.
When Stella remembered this again, she realized this was part of her complaints about Weston. If he never planned to have a baby with her, why didn’t he take proper measures from the start? He even told her to get an abortion after learning about her pregnancy
Stella remembered how hard she begged him. She pleaded with him to let her keep the child. At last, Weston reluctantly agreed to let her give birth to the baby. Even so, she failed to protect the child in the end.
Weston could have prevented the tragedy between them. He had many chances, yet he did not take any action.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 853 If Weston had treated her better, they would not have gotten to this point
Weston looked straight at the road ahead as he drove on. Then, a moment later, he said, “You still can conceive in your current condition, but you might have a miscarriage. If we don‘t take preventive measures, your health will be affected.”
Weston made his explanation brief.
According to the doctor‘s original statement, Stella could conceive with her current condition, but it would likely result in a miscarriage. It appeared that the fetus she carried would be unhealthy.
Hence, Weston would not let her get pregnant until her condition improved. The doctor advised that Stella‘s body needed rest, and while they could still enjoy the life of a normal couple, taking preventive measures would be prudent.
Those measures could be stopped when her body was ready. She should likely be in better condition by then, and if one was optimistic, she still had a chance of getting pregnant again.
Naturally, Weston wasn‘t telling Stella about this.
If he did tell her that he was trying to give her a child, it might give her too much hope. In the event that she failed to conceive, even with the help of medical technology, her disappointment would only multiply. The last thing he wanted was to put Stella through that kind of pain again.
Stella nodded. An inexplicable feeling rose in her heart, not accustomed to Weston‘s nice treatment. He acted as if she was the most important person to him, as if her health and body mattered the most to him.
He treated a woman like her so well, but she would leave sooner or later.
Weston‘s good treatment of her was like a money pit. The better he treated her, the more it would cost him. Undoubtedly, their separation would only become more troublesome later.
When they arrived at the apartment, Weston immediately pushed her right up against the door. He pressed his lips and slipped his hot tongue inside her mouth, kissing her so hard as though trying to suck out all the air from her lungs.
Weston gripped her waist hard, preventing her from moving.
Weston forced Stella to tip her head and endure his fiery passion. She rested her hands on his chest helplessly as she begged for mercy.
Weston‘s insistent kiss came like a raging tempest, leaving her with no escape. He bent his knees forward to pin her to the door and confine her in his embrace.
Stella‘s tongue tingled.
Then, he lifted her in the air. The moment her feet left the ground, she reflexively hit his shoulders. She could barely breathe.
“Mmm… Hmm…” She let out faint moans that sounded like soft whimpers. Finally, Weston loosened his grip a little, but his lips
stayed on her lips, nibbling on her lower lip with no signs of stopping.
Finally, at the end of the kiss, he commanded in a hoarse voice.” Stay away from Caspian.”
Stella knew this was coming. On their way home earlier, Weston had not said a word about this. At first, she thought Weston didn‘t care, but it turned out he was waiting to punish her at home.
With that character of his, how could he not mind?
“You‘ve misunderstood. I‘m not close to him. I haven‘t even talked to him much… I don’t know why the reporters are making up all the stories.”
“I‘ve talked to the media companies. It won‘t happen again. Caspian‘s agent has also promised not to use this kind of news to create hype in the future.”
“What do you mean?” Stella was stunned. “Are you saying that Caspian‘s agent might be behind this?”
Weston frowned. He did not like her paying attention to anyone else. He cupped her chin and made her look into his eyes. “It has nothing to do with you.”
Stella lowered her eyes and suppressed her surprise. “I see.”
Weston would have been satisfied with her submission before, but somehow, he was no longer fulfilled with her obedience. He wanted her to adore him from the bottom of her heart rather than just having her comply. He wanted her to be like who she was in the old days–when he was the only one in her heart and eyes.
As he pressed his fingers against her warm lips, he parted her lips slightly, allowing his tongue to slip inside and mess her up from within.
Unable to speak, Stella could only moan and beg for mercy.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 854
Stella‘s eyes were red and teary. Even so, Weston continued to kiss her hard. He had no intention of letting her go.
While she gasped for breath, she looked at his handsome face so close to hers. Suddenly, she muttered softly, “Then, from now on… You can‘t get too close to other women either.”
Weston paused his kiss for a moment. He pressed his thumb heavily against her lips and rubbed them slowly.
“What did you say?” he asked as if to confirm something.
Stella looked at him with steady eyes and repeated herself. “I said, don‘t get too close to other women in the future either.”
Weston said nothing. He suddenly stood up and looked down at her, “The way you‘re putting it… makes you sound jealous.”
Stella looked straight back at him. “Can‘t I be jealous?”
“You can.”
Weston picked her up and sat her on top of him. “I thought it‘d take you a long time before you finally get jealous.”
Stella had always understood him like no one else could, particularly when he was still engaged to Guinevere. She even told him to be with Guinevere instead.
She would never throw tantrums or make strange requests of him. She knew about Bella, but she never asked any questions and focused on acting as his obedient doll.
Stella put her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. She resigned herself and said, “I was just your secret lover with no name. She‘s your fiancee . Everyone knows that. Who am I to demand anything from you?” Weston suddenly increased force and tightened his grip on her back. “I remember telling you that you could ask for anything you wanted,” he rasped.
“Maybe I‘m just petty. I thought I had no right to say anything in that situation.”
Weston sighed and tipped her face. He brushed her hair gently.” Now, everyone knows that you‘re my woman.”
Weston felt slightly regretful. Perhaps he should have made this decision earlier. If he had figured out what he wanted earlier, he would not have wasted so much time when he was with Stella.
Stella suddenly thought about something and said, “Actually, I‘m still a little worried…”
“About what?”
“Men like you probably prefer a generous and understanding woman.
“Do I have the tendency to look like someone with strong jealousy?” she continued.
Weston chuckled and kissed the edge of her lips. “Don‘t worry about that. Just be yourself.”
Stella quietly let out a sigh of relief. She knew that the best way to deal with Weston was with submission and tears, and that he‘d let the Caspian incident slide, but she could not keep using the same trick forever.
Earlier, she acted like she was possessive of him, and Weston seemed to like it a lot.
Weston picked her up. He helped her change her shoes in the foyer, then carried her into the bedroom with long strides.
Stella was a little nervous. “I‘m a little tired today...”
“You don‘t have to do anything,” Weston interrupted her with a low voice and put her down on the bed. He rubbed his fingers over her lower lip. “Did you just tell your friend that I‘m good in bed?”
A chill went down Stella‘s spine. It had completely slipped out of her mind
She could barely convince him to stop caring about Caspian‘s incident when a new dilemma struck her.
She stammered, “It‘s just a private joke. I didn‘t know you were there…”
Weston chuckled softly and ruffled her hair to reveal her face.
“It doesn‘t matter. Since you said that, I shouldn‘t let you down.”
Stella tried to relax, but her body remained tense. After Weston had found out about her medication, she stopped taking it. Weston hadn‘t touched her ever since.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 855
Stella wondered if it still disturbed him. It wasn‘t something she could get past yet.
However, looking at Weston‘s state, he probably would not stop.
Stella did not know if she could accept him. She might reject his intimacy again. Would it anger him again?
Weston might have seen through her worries. He leaned over her and pressed a kiss on her hair.
“Feeling nervous?”
Stella closed her eyes. “Sorry, I didn‘t mean to…” Her voice was trembling.
“Still can‘t accept me?” he asked.
Stella shook her head. “It‘s not that, but I‘m still a little uncomfortable…”
She opened her eyes and looked at Weston with teary eyes. “ Maybe I still resent you a little.”
Weston paused for a moment and looked straight at her.
Stella could only say half–truths. “I know you‘re angry with me about the drug I used without your knowledge, but it wasn‘t my intention… I‘m probably still angry at you. I don‘t understand why you didn‘t take me seriously … why you treated me so cruelly, and why you didn‘t protect our baby and me…”
She choked a little. “I can‘t let go of my resentment yet. Can you give me some time?”
After saying that, she kept her gaze fixated on Weston. The way she looked with her teary eyes could stir the soul of any man.
Weston‘s heart skipped a beat. Then, he took her into his arms.
“Sorry,” he said to her.
Stella‘s heart jolted from his apology–she could not help but feel a certain bitterness. She never imagined the high and mighty Mr. Ford would say sorry to her one day.
Stella remained silent and just leaned on his shoulder. She knew if she said she had forgiven him, he probably would not believe her. Telling him the half–truths about her real feelings seemed more believable.
Weston‘s motions became much gentler. “Let‘s try,” he muttered in an incredibly soft voice while pushing her blouse up.
“If you feel uncomfortable, tell me to stop.”
Stella nodded.
Weston rubbed her head. “No pressure. I‘ll make you feel good.”
As the sky got darker, the sound inside the room gradually stopped. The moon was tucked behind the heavy clouds of the night sky as if hiding away from the steamy chaos in the room.
Stella felt like her body was drenched in water. It was probably her sweat. She could no longer tell.
It was the first time she knew there were ways to allow only one person to enjoy all the pleasure in this.
She looked at Weston’s restrained face and the bulging veins on his temples. He had held back so much for her. She felt sorry… she wanted him to feel good too, but he refused. He said this was enough to satisfy him.
Stella was puzzled. “But you didn‘t… How can you be satisfied ?”
Weston ruffled her sweaty hair and planted a kiss on her forehead. He asked her, “Did you feel good?”
Stella blushed shyly. Her face flushed harder at his question, but she nodded in answer.
She never knew it was possible to do this. It was indeed an impressive experience.
Weston chuckled softly. “If you feel good, I‘ll feel good too,” he said in a magnetic voice.
Stella was so shy that she lost her breath. She closed her eyes and buried her face under the blanket, but Weston refused to let her hide. He dragged her out and kissed her over and over again.
“Why are you always so shy? Hm?”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 856
Stella seemed dazed by Weston‘s kiss.
After the kiss, she saw something in her peripheral vision: the boxes of condoms that he had bought earlier. They were unused and casually placed aside. “Isn‘t that all a waste?” she asked.
Weston touched her lips again. “Don‘t worry. We’ll need it soon.” Sounding a little breathless, he unwrapped one in his hand.
“R–right now?”
Stella‘s voice was a little raspy. Weston replied to her gasp with a low laugh. “My hand is so wet now. What do you think?”
Stella blushed and buried her face in the blanket again, refusing to come out.
It was late at night when they finally stopped.
By then, Stella was already very sleepy, but she still got up from bed after looking at the time.
Roger should be awake by this time. She thought about it for a long time, not knowing how to explain it to him. Even so, he would get the news sooner or later. One day, she would still have to tell him.
She did not want someone else to tell him about it and use the information against her. She would rather tell him her plan now and let him wait for her aboard for a while. They would be free
for good once everything was over.
Stella became nervous after listening to the beeping dial tone. For some reason, she felt really anxious.
She became more anxious because Roger was not picking up. She had just sent several messages and even called him, but there was no reply. This only served to worsen the bad feeling in her gut.
She glanced at the time again. After considering the time difference, she was sure that Roger was at home. Was he out with his friends ? Even so, he should‘ve carried his phone with him.
Such a thing had never happened to them before. Roger would always tell her his whereabouts and plans, and despite the time difference, would still let her know about his schedule.
Stella‘s worsening anxiousness affected her sleep. Wide awake on the bed, she looked out the window. Although it was not cold anymore, she still felt chilled to the bone.
A few moments later, a gentle embrace came from behind.
Weston pulled her into his arms. “What‘s wrong?” he asked with a silvery voice in her ear.
Stella shook her head and sighed. “I called Roger, but he didn‘t answer…”
Weston paused. “Are you going to tell him?” Stella nodded. “I’ll have to, eventually.”
Weston gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Maybe he‘s caught up
with something and didn‘t hear his phone ringing. Let‘s contact him tomorrow.”
Stella nodded again. “But it‘s daytime there, and he‘s not in class now. How could he not hear…”
“Maybe he‘s out partying with his classmates. Don‘t be so worried. He‘s an adult. He can take care of himself.”
Even so, Stella was still anxious. She looked at Weston suddenly and asked, “Do you think the ones overseas have gotten the news?”
Weston patted her head. “Don‘t overthink it. It won‘t be so soon. Even if he knows, it‘ll be fine. You‘ll have to tell him eventually.”
After hearing that, Stella relaxed a little, but she was still slightly restless.
Weston leaned close to her ear and asked, “Can‘t sleep?”
Stella nodded in reply, to which Weston sighed.
“I guess we‘ll have to find a way to get you to sleep.”
Stella immediately understood what he was implying.
“D–don‘t… I’ll sleep now.”
The next day.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 857 Stella called Roger the first thing in the morning, but still, there was no response.
Weston told her to stop thinking about all this nonsense and focus on their wedding instead. Because of what happened at the engagement party, Weston had decided to move the wedding date up.
Warren disagreed with it, but he did not say anything.
Before going to the office, Weston pinched Stella’s face. “I‘ve hired a team of designers to be in charge of our wedding. You can tell them what kind of wedding you want.”
Stella smiled at him with a nod, but she still looked worried.
“If you‘re still worried, I can send someone over to take a look,” Weston attempted to reassure her.
However, Stella shook her head in response. “No need for that.
“You‘re right. He is an adult. He‘s probably busy with something.”
Weston noticed something in her reaction. “Stella, you don‘t trust me?”
“No. If I didn‘t, why would I remarry you?”
Stella told him, “But Roger already has a prejudice against you. If you send someone over there, I‘m afraid he‘ll reject you even more.”
Weston eased his look and patted her head. “I know. You shouldn‘t worry too much.”
Stella breathed a sigh of relief.
After Weston left, Stella checked the local news in Compassvale and the school‘s official website and was relieved to see no reports about international students encountering any accidents in Compassvale.
Meanwhile, at the Ford Corporation building.
The farce at the engagement party had a detrimental impact on the company–news about Weston‘s scandals and his past with Guinevere caused the company‘s market capitalization to dip slightly. However, it was still manageable.
When the project in the western suburbs was announced to the public, people quickly realized there was more to the project than they thought. However, the potential earnings were so great it made them forget about Weston’s scandal.
Weston could reap hundreds of millions of dollars in profits for Ford Corporation and its partners, making his scandals seem trivial in comparison to the obscene profits he could get.
Ben had always admired Weston at work. Sometimes, he even thought that a man like Weston did not need a woman. What was the point of all that trouble?
It left Ben wondering what could be different if Weston had focused all his energy on work. Under his stellar leadership, Ford Corporation might just reach heights that nobody would‘ve ever imagined they could achieve.
Suddenly, someone from the secretary‘s office came in to report something “Mr. Ford…”
It turned out to be Daisy.
Ben stopped her at the door. “What‘s the matter?”
Daisy looked at him with a troubled look. “Mr. Sullivan, I have something urgent to report to Mr. Ford…”
To which Ben reproached with a frown. “Mr. Ford doesn‘t like to be interrupted in the middle of work. Next time, call in advance.”
Daisy looked stressed. “I know, but it‘s a phone call from the Cohen family…”
Ben paused for a moment and looked at Weston.
Weston rubbed his temple. “What is it?”
“They said Ms. Cohen‘s condition has worsened. They want you to go over and visit her…”
Daisy looked at Weston from his side with a complicated feeling. She had heard about the engagement party incident and thought Ella was merely his new love. Little did she expect that she was actually his ex–wife.
Why would a man like him be attracted to only a woman like her?
Daisy always thought Weston would keep changing partners. First, it was Guinevere. Then came Ella. After that, perhaps he would‘ve dated a better woman.
What was so good about Ella? No, what was so great about Stella?
Daisy simply couldn‘t figure it out. If she compared herself to Guinevere, she would lose because of her family background. However, she had already conceded with the knowledge that it wasn‘t a part of her that she could change.
‘But Ella…’
Daisy thought there wasn‘t too much of a difference between them. She believed she had the upper hand as Weston‘s secretary
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 858
Ever since Guinevere had been diagnosed with mental illness; she had used it as an excuse to get Weston to visit her.
It used to work, but Weston decided to stop granting her that courtesy
“From now on, you don‘t have to answer these calls.”
Daisy froze for a moment. “Mr. Ford, what do you mean?”
“Mr. Ford means that he shouldn‘t be bothered with the Cohen family‘s matters anymore,” Ben chimed in.
Daisy‘s eyes flickered for a moment.
“I understand,” she said after a moment and turned to leave.
It seemed Weston was serious this time. He was breaking ties with the Cohen family for real.
As soon as he turned down the Cohen family, Chris called.
“I’m looking for Weston.”
Weston knew this was coming.
He gave Ben a look. Ben got the message and left the office at once.
As soon as the call connected, Chris barked into the phone irritatedly. “What the hell are you trying to do?”
Weston frowned. “State your business.”
Chris took a deep breath. He tried to calm down, but he could not conceal the anger in his tone. “You think you‘re so tough now, huh? How can you ignore our agreement?!”
A smile formed on Weston‘s lips. “I wanted to keep our agreement, but the Cohen family went overboard…”
“I don‘t care about that! Weston, what did you promise me?”
Chris got worked up. “You said you‘d be with Guinevere . How could you hurt her like this? What if, one day, she remembers everything?”
“Well, she doesn‘t remember it now, does she?”
“Are we going to leave a ticking time bomb in the open? Doesn‘t it disturb you when you think of it?”
“You should be worried.”
“Weston! You‘re my son!” Chris roared in a fury.
“We‘re all in this together! If I go down, you‘re coming down with me! How do you think you‘ll fare if this thing blows up?!”
“It’ll be bad.” Weston paused. “But no worse than before,” he added.
Chris‘ tone suddenly changed, and he sounded exhausted. “Is she so important to you? It‘s not that I don‘t want you to be together, but can‘t you just maintain the balance like before ?”
He simply couldn‘t understand why this was so difficult for Weston. Guinevere had clearly made concessions–she‘d taken a step back and was even willing to accept Ella‘s presence.
Weston could‘ve made Guinevere his wife while simultaneously keeping Ella as his lover. There would be no conflict of interest, and none would be the wiser.
“Even if Ella is Stella, you‘re already divorced. Why are you still so obsessed over her?”
Chris didn‘t realize how little he knew about his son until the incident at the engagement party. He had always thought his son didn‘t care for women.
All these years, he had no other woman around him except for Guinevere.
Chris never imagined that Weston would give their family such a big surprise.
“Now that things have come to this…” Weston began coldly.” There‘s no point in talking to me about all these. Why don‘t you think about your problem? Do you want to keep hiding this, or do you want to tell Mom the…”
“You mustn‘t tell her!” Chris cut him off at once. His voice trembled a little in fear. “With how she is, she absolutely won‘t let me go once she gets to know…”
Weston fell into a short silence after hearing that.
“Why are you so afraid of telling her the truth?” he asked after a while. “Are you afraid of her sadness or her revenge?”
Chris and Wendy had, after all, been known to be a loving couple for many years.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 859 Did Chris have any regrets about coming this far? If he did, he‘d never admit it to his son.
“Of course, I‘m scared … I don‘t want her to be sad and upset … What happened back then was an accident. If you kept your promise, no one would‘ve known. Now that you‘re treating Guinevere like this, we‘ll be screwed when her memory comes back, and she‘ll drag us all down…”
“Then, so be it.”
Weston was about to hang up when he heard Chris‘s pleading from the other end of the line.
“Did you forget?! Your mom just had her heart checked at the hospital. If she finds out the truth … It‘ll be too much for her to handle!”
Weston held his breath and remained silent for a long time.
“Please, I‘m begging you, just come and see her… Consider it a favor for your mother. Don‘t hurt her anymore.”
“If you don‘t want to hurt her,” Weston snapped coldly. “You shouldn‘t have done this in the first place.”
Weston ended the call with a bang as he slammed his phone on the table. His eyes gradually turned dark, like the frost formed on a thousand years of coldness.
Although Weston moved the wedding to an earlier date, he clearly had no intention of reducing his original budget, hiring even more designers from abroad to the already massive wedding planning team.
Stella looked at the teams of people and plans in front of her with a headache. “Are you planning to do two ceremonies; with so many styles?”
She looked through the plans in her hand, but it was too much.
Meanwhile, the patient design team explained everything in detail to Stella. “Ms. Steele, there‘s no hurry. Mr. Ford has instructed us to do everything to your liking. We can combine the two ceremonies if you wish.”
They were ready to face Stella‘s tricky demands.
After flipping through the pages, Stella suddenly said, “I want the simplest wedding possible.”
The designers were stunned. “The simplest?”
Weston was annoyed following Chris‘ outburst and the Cohen‘s matters. When he showed up at the wedding planning meeting to learn about the progress, Stella‘s request made him frown a little. She wanted only a simple wedding?
After that, in the apartment.
When Stella returned, Weston was already at home, leisurely flipping through a booklet on the sofa.
Stella put her bag down and walked up behind him. She put her hands on his temples and massaged them softly. “Why are you home so early today?”
Weston grabbed her hand and took her into his arms. “Did the designers fail to impress you?”
Stella hesitated for a moment. She knew he was talking about the wedding. She shook her head and explained , “It‘s all good, but we don‘t need such extravagance–”
“I thought women loved grand weddings.” Weston tipped her chin and nudged her a little. “If you don‘t like them, I‘ll hire another team from abroad.”
“It‘s not about the designers.”
Stella explained, “They‘re good and clever at their plans, but… Sigh.
“I just don‘t want to make it so grand.”
She leaned her head on his shoulder. “Isn’t marriage something we both share? The most important thing is that we like it, not how lavish it is. Besides…”
She paused and muttered softly, “I don‘t want people to say I‘m showing off.”
Weston hugged her waist and looked her in the eye.
“Are you sure of this?”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 860
Weston consulted several married people, some of them business partners, about the wedding. Each of them couldn‘t wait to impart their advice.
“Mr. Ford, women are all the same! They like to see the man‘s sincerity.”
“She‘ll say she doesn‘t need an extravagant and wasteful wedding because she cares about you, but as the man, you shouldn‘t be stingy!”
“But if you listen to her and make an event as important as her wedding too simple… she‘ll haunt you for decades!”
“Whenever you quarrel, your wife will nag in your ear: when I married you, I didn‘t even have a decent wedding! How dare you argue with me now?”
“When it comes to that, you‘ll wish you never listened to what she said!”
The other married men agreed with this statement.
Thinking that there was some merit to their advice, Weston shared them with Stella.
The moment she heard it, Stella, in his arms, laughed. “I didn‘t know your business partners were so funny.”
“I heard them mention their wives in the meeting today, so I casually asked them.”
Weston‘s gaze softened at her amused laughter. “Are you like them too?” he asked while scratching her chin.
Stella fell into deep thought. After a bout of silence, she said, “I don‘t know what the future brings, but I did mean what I said. I don‘t want to be extravagant and wasteful… I feel it‘ll be too much trouble.”
She frowned. “I‘ve seen lots of wedding videos – both the bride and groom were completely exhausted from the wedding. A wedding should be a happy occasion. I don‘t want it to be complicated…”
Weston saw the seriousness in her eyes that told it wasn‘t a half –hearted request. Perhaps, these were her real thoughts.
He let out an inaudible sigh.
“As long as you‘re happy.”
“What? You‘re not going to have a grand wedding?!”
Yvonne had a completely different idea when she heard this.” What were you thinking? A wedding is a once–in–a–lifetime thing!”
After saying that, however, she found her statement a little wrong.
“Bah. Bah,” she cursed. “It‘s not necessarily a once–in–a–lifetime thing. I can‘t say that.”
Stella was rendered speechless and looked at Yvonne helplessly.
Yvonne continued muttering to herself. “But anyway, it‘s still an
important life event. You can‘t deny that, can you?
“It may be no big deal to you now, but what if you regret it later? When you get old and reminisce on your youth, won‘t you regret your simple and insignificant wedding?”
“We‘ll worry about that much later,” Stella said.
“Oh, you sure are silly, aren‘t you?”
Yvonne was so annoyed that she almost wanted to pinch her ear and give her a lecture. “Weston has done so much wrong to you. You should at least make him bleed some money for the wedding. You have to make him suffer! Let him learn how to treasure you!”
Yvonne turned to Angelina next to her. “Don‘t you think so too?”
Her question caught Angelina off guard.
Angelina seemed confused as she gobbled down the food in front of her. She looked at Stella and then at Yvonne, not knowing how to answer.
It was only her first meeting with Yvonne. With the filming reaching its conclusion, she was on vacation. Having plenty of free time, she would often invite Stella out.
Yvonne also started inviting Stella out openly. This time, as the invitations coincided, Stella decided to introduce them to each other.
Lively and sociable in nature, Yvonne‘s personality matched Angelina‘s easygoing attitude. Upon meeting, they quickly warmed up to each other and began chatting like long–lost buddies.
Yvonne‘s thoughts shifted very quickly. She suddenly thought about something and turned to Angelina . “By the way, do you have a boyfriend?”
Her question caught Angelina off guard again.
Angelina froze for a moment. “No…”
