Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 40
Yvonne was the type of person who would always stand up for herself. She would never let anyone mock or taunt her without a fight. She could sense Guinevere’s jiving tone earlier, and she didn’t care if it was intentional. She just had to fight back.Once Yvonne was done talking, Guinevere’s face turned cold and frigid. The air got tense again. Silent awkwardness ruled the table.Nobody spoke. Yvonne dangled a spoon aimlessly, seemingly unaware of the gravity of what she said. Lucas pushed food onto Yvonne’s plate, urging her to eat. Yvonne accepted the food without saying anything.Yvonne knew that Guinevere didn’t like the fact that she had a baby out of wedlock because it was something that tarnished her pure and noble reputation, but she deceived herself into thinking that she was fine. She might pretend that it didn’t matter to her, but she was obviously troubled by it.As for Yvonne, she didn’t care that they had a child out of wedlock. Things could happen, especially between
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 41
The air was tense once again. Stella paused for a moment before immediately standing up. With her mouth covered, she rushed out. The moment Stella stood up to leave, Weston’s vision flickered for a moment, but he recovered very quickly. His eyes turned dark as he exuded an even colder and darker aura than before. It was difficult to tell what was going through his mind at that point. The smile faded from Guinevere’s face. Earlier, she felt assured by Weston’s protective stance over her, but now, she had completely lost her appetite. She pulled her napkin off and stood up. “I’m full. I’m heading to the washroom.” As she stood up, the chair behind her was pushed back, and its legs screeched uncomfortable against the floorboards. Weston’s face turned even darker as a cold glint flashed past the depths of his eyes. This time around, Yvonne wasn’t as clueless as before. The fork she had in hand paused right at her mouth, the food hanging in mid-air, “Why do things feel so st
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 42
Guinevere’s gaze landed smugly on the expensive dress that Stella was donning. As if realization dawned upon her, she said, “Yvonne is generous indeed. Her family owns an haute couture production line, and the garments can’t be bought even if one has the money. She is a candid and righteous person, indeed. Making friends with people like her would save one a lot of trouble and bring many benefits.” Stella’s eyes flickered as she turned towards Guinevere and said, “Sorry, but were you trying to hint it was me?” Guinevere was stunned, not expecting Stella to be so forthcoming. She recovered from her minor shock and stepped forward suddenly, leaning in closer to Stella. “I’m just casually chatting with you and just made a passing remark on something about Yvonne that I just recalled. I didn’t expect you to wear that hat on yourself.” The smile on her face appeared genuine. “Don’t take to heart what I just said. I wasn’t referring to you. If what I said made you misunderstand, I ap
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 43
Guinevere’s face turned so dour that it looked frightening. … So many twists and turns over a simple meal. Upon seeing Stella finally returning to her seat, Yvonne immediately put her spoon down and heaved a sigh of relief. “I thought you had an upset stomach.” Stella sat down beside her and smiled. “No, I didn’t. I just felt slightly unwell. Sorry for making you worried.” Yvonne replied casually, “Good that you’re alright. The thought that you might be pregnant even crossed my mind!” Guinevere, who had stepped in after Stella, stopped dead in her tracks upon hearing Yvonne’s words. As if recalling a memory of the past, her face contorted with rage without any seeming rhyme or reason. The thought of Stella and her child came to her mind! If it weren’t for the fact that Stella got pregnant, if it weren’t because she knew that Weston had acquiesced for Stella to give birth to that child, she would never have walked down that extreme path of no return! And she wouldn’t
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 44
Guinevere had always waited for Weston to turn back and reconcile with her. She did not expect to see him getting together with another woman. All the more, she did not expect him to get married to another woman while she was with child. Until now, Guinevere lived in regret over the presumptuous and conceited decision she made back then. Had she told Weston earlier that she was pregnant, things might have turned out differently! … In the study, Lucas was talking business with Weston, and Yvonne, who had no interest in hospitals and patients, pulled Stella away the moment the men began their discussion. “They are discussing Henry's condition again. I don’t understand what they’re saying. It’s so boring.” Stella followed behind her, and a familiar name caught her attention. “Henry…Henry Moore?” “You don’t know him. He’s a good friend of Weston,” Yvonne explained. “He’s on good terms with Guinevere as well. The three of them grew up together, and both men actually liked

She paused for a moment and smiled as if a thought flashed past her mind. “A child.” She looked straight into Weston’s eyes and said the two words emphatically. Instinctively, Weston released her hand as those two words left her mouth. Stella wanted to see something from his gaze, but it was a pity that she couldn’t see anything. At that moment, she couldn’t help but laugh at herself. Was she expecting a man like him to feel sorrow and guilt over that child? He wouldn’t. He only cared for the child he had with Guinevere, whereas she and her child were but just lowly ants in his eyes, deserving only to be stepped on by him and thrown aside like a rag doll. “Mr. Ford, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be off.” Stella pushed him aside, but at the next second, he grabbed her wrist again. It was then that she lost all patience with him. “What exactly do you want?” She turned her face around and looked at him with frustration, “Don’t tell me you just want to catch up and remi
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 46
Yvonne spent some alone time with Lucas in the study before finally heading out. Just as they exited the study, Yvonne saw Stella walking from the courtyard toward her. “Ella!” As Yvonne called out to Stella, she noticed how pale she was, as if she had somehow lost her soul. Yvonne asked with concern, “What’s the matter? You look terrible…” Yvonne grabbed her hand anxiously and asked, “Your hands feel so clammy…do you feel unwell? Should I have my husband take a look at you?” Stella shook her head and smiled, “I’ll probably head home earlier. I had wanted to keep you company longer tonight, but I’m afraid I’ll have to back out on my word. I’m sorry.” “It’s fine. We can always hang out next time,” Yvonne said reassuringly with a squeeze of her hands. “Shall I have my driver send you home?” “Sure, thank you.” The last thing Stella wanted was to see Weston and Guinevere again, yet she had to bump into them, against her will, in the parking lot. The driver was already waiti
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 47
In the car, Guinevere thought that she had finally gotten used to the quiet atmosphere between them, but it suddenly occurred to her, right when the air around her became suffocating—she and Weston had gotten to the point of having nothing to talk about. Previously, she could sweep things under the rug, turning a blind eye toward the truth of the matter, but Ella’s appearance was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. She stared at the hard, unflinching look on the face of the man seated next to her. It was as if nothing could move his stony heart. He had always been like this, sitting silently by himself. No one else could figure out what was on his mind. Back then, she had fallen so hard for that mysterious, deep look in his eyes. Yet now, she hated the cold divide he had erected between them. Finally, when she could bear it no longer, she decided to be the first to break the silence. “Don’t you have anything to tell me?” It had always been like that. Between the two
