Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 59
“You could have rejected her invitation.” “Even if I did, she would be able to find another way to probe me,” Stella said mockingly, “Mr. Ford, you’re very similar to her. You should be aware of how people like you and Ms. Cohen behave. Even though I refuse to meet with you, I find myself in your car against my will.” Free will was a false notion given the difference in their status. It was a pity that Stella only understood this cruel reality after paying a hefty price. The car stopped in a suburban neighborhood. It was a relatively deserted place, with no cars in sight even after a long period. Weston flicked the ashes of his cigarette as smoke wrapped around his fingers. The deep, dark lines along his side profile looked even more mysterious under the smoke. Stella waited for a long while, but he never opened his mouth.She unfastened her seatbelt. “Mr. Ford, what exactly do you want?” “Keep away from Gwen.” The four words sliced through her heart like a knife.

Now, she had a temperament that contrasted starkly with that of the past. Weston knew that clearly, but he did not want her to get used to behaving like this. He could only accept people obeying his orders. He still preferred how submissive she used to be. “I repeat: Get in the car.” The silvery black luxury car inched forward alongside the lone woman walking on the road. Weston followed right next to her, staring straight ahead without looking at her, “Stella Sealey, don’t be a fool.” He gave an ultimatum, “There are no taxis for hire around. Do you intend to just walk home?” Stella slowed down in her steps and looked at him, “So what? What does it have to do with you?” Upon her words, an engine revving rang into the night sky. Weston stepped on the accelerator and sped off without a word. In the wake of the smell of burnt rubber and flying dust, Stella was stunned for a moment by the car that left so suddenly, then she chuckled self-derisively. Weston Ford was t

The woman yelled out curses as the car receded into the distance. Stella looked away. She was about to leave when she heard the woman shouting at her.“Hey! What’s your name?”Stella paused her steps. She turned around and looked at the woman but said nothing.“Why are you all alone in such a place?” the woman continued, not minding that Stella didn’t answer her question. “Hmph! I bet you got dumped by a scumbag just like me, didn’t you?”Stella raised her brows. The woman wasn’t wrong… She shrugged wearily.“Do you want to walk home together?” Stella asked.“No,” the woman shook her head. “It’s your lucky day. I just called someone to pick me up. You can come along with us.”Stella gave it a good thought before she finally agreed.“Thank you,” she said earnestly.“Oh, don’t worry about it. We’re in the same boat, after all! Remember this, my friend. Let’s never get involved with scumbags, ever again!”“Yes,” Stella laughed. “I agree!”Meanwhile, in the car on the road ahead
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 62
Back at the Ford mansion, Guinevere had just gotten the report. She turned each page slowly, scrutinizing each and every word.They really were two different people. But how was that possible? It was indeed an outcome that she had hoped for, but it was all too outlandish. But still, everything had been spelled out in black and white, in the report in front of her, so it had to be true.Guinevere sighed in relief. Thank goodness she wasn’t that woman. Thank goodness Ella Steele was just Ella Steele after all. As long as she wasn’t Stella Sealey, she would pose no threat to her. She was just a woman who looked like Stella, that was all. Nothing to be worried about.“What are you doing?” Weston asked, appearing seemingly out of nowhere just as she sighed.Guinevere’s heart skipped a beat but she managed to stay calm and show no emotions.“Nothing,” she replied, getting up and pretending to be tidying up the desk. “I was just reading my scripts.”Weston usually showed no interest i

Guinevere grinned happily and gazed at Weston, then at Zack.“Really?” she asked. “I wouldn’t have noticed it if you didn’t mention it! Do they really look alike?”“Of course they do!” replied the nanny, nodding repeatedly. “They’re father and son, after all!”Guinevere was visibly overjoyed by this.Meanwhile, Wendy stared at her son and studied his face closely.“No,” she suddenly said. “I don’t think he looks that much like Weston. He looks more like his grandfather!”Those words silenced the whole room. The air grew instantly tense. Only Wendy seemed oblivious as she was busy scrutinizing Zack’s eyebrows.“Look at these thick eyebrows,” she continued, “and these dark eyes! He looks just like his grandpa, doesn’t he?”Weston turned dead silent. His Adam’s apple moved, but he said nothing. His eyes were more piercing now than ever, but he wasn’t looking at Zack and much less Guinevere. They were, however, glued to his mother’s face, searching for the smallest trace of anomaly
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 64
Weston finally took a few steps forward and heard laughter coming from a distance.“Did you argue with your dad again?”It was Xavier, who had seemingly come out of nowhere. His eyes shone with sly cunning as he patted the dust off his clothes. Being the Ford family's son and pampered from a young age, there was a sense of general presumptuousness in his gestures. It was apparent he had never been afraid of anyone.“You b*stard!” he snapped. “I did you such a big favor, and you dared to hang up on me?!”Weston merely glanced at him and kept walking.He had always been calm and unbothered by anything. Although Xavier was his uncle, he was the complete opposite of him, always smiling, sloppy, and immature.Xavier followed Weston quickly behind him.“I was serious about the question I asked on the phone,” he told Weston. “When did you start to like messing around with women? And what about that woman on the road? Who is she?”Weston stopped abruptly and turned to Xavier.“Let’s m

Meanwhile, inside the restaurant, Stella listened on and thought the conversation between the two men was fascinating and amusing, so she couldn’t help but laugh. There really was nothing more to it.But when the man in front of her caught sight of her joyous chuckles, he lost a little self-control and just stared at her. Even Roger, who was beside him, noticed it.“Professor Hall,” he said with a frown. “Why are you staring at my sister?”The man came back to his senses, then looked at Stella apologetically.“I’m sorry,” he told her.Stella’s smile vanished. She glared at her brother before snapping, “Don’t be rude!”Stella then sat straight and turned to the man in front of her.“Thank you for watching out for us, Professor Hall,” she said. “Please, allow me to settle the bill for this meal.”She had planned to go for a walk with her brother, but they unexpectedly bumped into Roger’s college professor. Roger had taken a few semesters off due to his illness, and it was Justin

The door slammed shut with a loud bang.Stella couldn’t surmise what Roger was feeling from his expressions. She followed him quietly into the living room and sat on the sofa.Roger had been hanging his head low all the while. Then suddenly, he raised up his head and turned to his sister.“Do you like Professor Hall, Sis?” he asked.“What did you just say?!” Stella responded in shock.Roger said nothing. He sat next to his sister and leaned on her shoulder. He was about six feet tall, and when he leaned on his sister like that, he looked like a big bear leaning against a little rabbit for support.“What kind of man do you like, Sis?” he asked again.Stella realized then that Roger had been overthinking.“Don’t worry, Roger,” she assured him. “There’s absolutely nothing going on between your professor and me.”“It didn’t look like Professor Hall thought the same way, though…”“Don’t you remember what he said?” Stella asked with a smile. “He merely thought that I looked pretty,
