Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 26
At the Ford family manor, Weston could sense the unusual atmosphere the instant he stepped inside the house.The Ford family had been waiting for them. Each person wore varying expressions, but they all looked grim and somewhat disapproving.Weston ignored their scrutiny and took his seat. Guinevere had wanted to enter the house holding onto Weston’s arm, so she felt momentarily embarrassed. However, she quickly regained her composure and sat down beside Weston.She smiled modestly and greeted her seniors at the table. “Sorry to have kept everyone waiting. We were running a little late.”Guinevere was a genuine socialite. Her conduct and etiquette were commendable, and she carried herself in a noble way.This was a Ford family banquet, and Guinevere was considered part of the family now.“It’s alright. If I’m not mistaken, your due date should be soon.” The person who spoke was Weston’s mother, Wendy Thomas. She smiled kindly and added, “It’s better to be careful during your co

Even the other family members looked over with confusion. Guinevere and Weston’s marriage was acquiesced by both families. At first, no one had urged Weston about it because they thought that Weston had other plans as he usually did.But now, rather than having other plans, it seemed like he was having other thoughts instead.Finally, it was Chris who broke the silence. “I’ve been hearing rumors lately. Do you have other considerations in mind?”When he said this, nosy people who enjoyed conflict got involved. “I’ve heard some nasty rumors claiming that Weston… has a woman on the side!”“Xavier! Who allowed you to speak?!” Chris growled at him, visibly enraged.By another woman, Xavier meant Stella.Outsiders may not be aware, but Chris couldn’t be deceived, and neither could his dear brother, Xavier, be kept in the dark as well.Xavier was Chris’s younger brother, but he was only a few years older than Weston.As Xavier was a child Old Mr. Ford had during his golden years, h

The atmosphere at the dining table mellowed down.Xavier looked back and forth between the two with mild interest. He let out a soft chuckle laced with sarcasm but didn’t let anyone catch him in the act.Weston didn’t answer. He merely reached forward to ladle Guinevere a bowl of soup.However, his hands paused in midair for a moment as an untimely scene flashed through his mind.He remembered Stella’s back profile as she busied herself in the kitchen.This table was filled with dishes prepared by a renowned chef so it was of significant standard, but Weston suddenly remembered Stella’s dishes instead…She had never made anything too fancy, and they were mostly average home cooked meals. However, each dish tasted great and he wondered where she had learned to cook like that.Weston had to socialize a lot so he rarely ate at home.At first, none of the dishes Stella made were to his liking. He lost interest after glancing at them and only took a few bites to please her.When th

Guinevere’s cautious and confused expression made Wendy laugh on the inside.However, she didn’t show it. She merely patted the back of Guinevere’s hand with a kind look on her face. “No way. We’ll be family soon, so I won’t be as courteous toward you as I would with guests. But if you mind it…”Guinevere was surprised and quickly said, “I don’t mind. I just thought you had some misunderstanding toward me… I’m sorry.”She looked Wendy in the eyes, but then averted her gaze out of guilt. Then, she picked up a glass and held it to her lips as if trying to conceal her emotions.…On the balcony, Chris drew the curtains of the French windows. Weston snorted a laugh. “Are you feeling guilty? Afraid that someone would overhear?”When it was only the two of them, Chris no longer put on airs, but instead looked exhausted. “I know you feel aggrieved about this… But Gwen loves you so much, and the child… it still has the Ford family’s blood flowing in its veins, and you’re somehow related…

Ben stared at her in confusion. He had never expected Stella to make a request of him.Moments later, he came to a realization. “Mr. Sealey has agreed to Mr. Ford’s suggestion. He will change his name and relocate to another city with you. Mr. Ford will also bear all of his medical bills henceforth, including a compensation fee for you.”Then, he reported an acceptable number.The corner of Stella’s mouth twitched. This amount was enough to make her the richest person in small towns. “Since Roger has agreed, we’ll go with that.” She closed her eyes before abruptly opening them again. “There’s one person I’d like to see.”“Who?”“The culprit who had kidnapped me that day.”Ben fell silent as he stared at her with conflict in his eyes.Stella found it amusing. “What? Are you afraid that I’ll insist on going through with my evil desires and scheme against Guinevere?”She understood well that Weston wouldn’t believe her. No one in the world would anymore.No matter how many time
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 31
Those words caused Weston to brush his hand against his face. The corner of his lips twitched when he saw the smear of blood that appeared on the back of his hand.“She certainly didn’t pull her punches…”The image of Stella as she appeared to him just moments ago popped up in his mind. Thinking of their recent meeting, Weston languidly massaged his temples.He always knew Stella couldn’t possibly only want to see him. According to his plans, things should’ve wrapped up nicely after he sent Stella and Roger away. They should’ve gotten back on track.Yet, when Ben suddenly told him about Stella, he completely sidetracked and did what he never planned—agreeing to come to the hospital.The fact that she rejected him was another expected outcome.Weston closed his eyes. The stormy turmoil inside him that started when he saw Stella falling off the building had calmed significantly after learning she was safe. However, now, it was showing signs of returning.He had no idea why he was

Every time Stella had that nightmare, a faceless child would be standing in front of her, trembling. She would try to get a better look at the child, but the thick, white fog would surround them. The moment she reached out her hand to touch the child, the entire scene would disappear in a puff of smoke. When the fog cleared, what she would see next would be the last thing she wished to see. It was that dreadful scene that would shatter her heart into a million pieces.“You have one choice between the two. Who do you choose?”“I choose Gwen… She’s afraid of heights…”“...”Each word pierced into her heart like a real knife, tormenting her with excruciating pain, even though she was actually dreaming.The scene changed. Suddenly, she was lying on the street. Her lower body was covered in blood. Her child was slowly flowing out of her body. Meanwhile, not so far away, two shadowy figures were in a sweet embrace, mockingly trampling her and her baby’s misery and tragedy…Stella sat u
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 33
Yvonne’s husband was transferred back to Fern City, so she naturally followed suit. She had never been able to find a suitable replacement for Stella after she left the training center that she founded for fun in Ahn City. Thus, coupled with other factors, she finally decided to close the training center in Ahn City and move everything to Fern City instead.The training center had only started operating recently, and apart from a few acquaintances, Yvonne was still recruiting new teachers. Simultaneously, Stella had just moved there and was looking for a job. As fate would have it, they bumped into each other.Sometimes, the world was just that small.Yvonne couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Stella.“Stella Sealey?” she cried. Her face turned pale as if she’d just seen a ghost. “But aren’t you already…?”Yvonne and Stella had never been all that close. Still, Stella’s talent and dedication to her job left a good impression on Yvonne. Upon receiving the news of Stella’s death,
