Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 380
It rained so heavily last night that when dawn broke, the whole world seemed to have changed.Stella did not get a good night’s sleep at all, but she still woke up very early that morning. She tried to stretch her body but found herself tightly enveloped by a scorching warmth.As her mind was still muddled by slumber, she was stunned and confused by this, but she soon realized that the source of that warmth was the man beside her. Weston’s body had always been naturally warmer than hers. Everytime he held her in his arms, she felt as if she was leaning against the fireplace. But the heat was a little higher than usual today.Stella opened her eyes and leaned over to place her hand on Weston’s forehead. The heat almost scalded her skin. She frowned.Was he running a fever?Weston was awakened by Stella’s touch.“What time is it?” he asked, his voice hoarse and his brows knitted.“Eight in the morning,” she replied, noticing that his voice was huskier than usual, besides also

If it meant that Stella would treat him more tenderly, Weston thought, then perhaps risking his life last night was worth it after all.“I’m not sick,” he insisted once more. “Don’t worry about me.”“Who’s worried about you?” Stella refuted. “I was simply worried that you’d spread your cold to me, that’s all!”“If I really wanted to, then I wouldn’t just be talking to you right now, would I?”Stella quickly caught his drift. She glared at him but said nothing, getting up to get Weston’s notebook.Once she was gone, Weston leaned back against the headboard and rested a little. Then he picked up his phone and checked his emails before putting it aside again. Soon he saw Stella returning to the room with his notebook in one hand and holding her mobile phone up to her ear with the other hand.“Okay…” she was saying. “I understand. I’ll wait till the crew sorts out everything, then. Mm-hmm. Okay, I’ll take my time and study the script on my own for the time being…”She was probably

Stella was taken aback, having never seen Weston looking like that. In the past, his rare bouts of illness would merely inflict slight colds upon him that would go away the next day. During their marriage, Stella had only ever seen him get sick once, but just that once was enough to make her feel as if the sky had fallen on her. She stayed by his side and waited on him hand and foot. She would’ve chosen sickness in his place if she could. Her mind was so fully occupied by him that she couldn’t do anything else, except take care of him.Weston’s expressions changed slightly. He seemed to be remembering the same thing too.“Please stay by my side, okay?” he begged.It was not at all like Weston to have those imploring eyes.“I…” Stella wavered. “I’ll call for Joan to take care of you.”As soon as she finished her sentence, she saw the light in Weston’s eyes diminish. He closed his eyes and then in a jiffy, his old distant and aloof personality returned.“Okay,” he answered her

Stella knew all her lines by heart, but she decided to go through it one more time.Unsure about some of acting’s technical aspects, she searched the internet and watched some videos and rehearsed her lines again. Only after doing that for a few more times was she finally satisfied.After a while, she was interrupted by the sound of knocking on the door.“Miss Steele,” Joan called. “Mr. Ford is asking for you.”Stella frowned and looked at the time. To her surprise, two hours had gone by without her noticing it.“Okay,” she nodded to Joan before getting up and leaving the study.“Could you bring this in with you too?” Joan asked, referring to the tray in her hands that contained freshly-made lunch for Weston.Stella paused, then took the tray.“Okay, leave it to me. You can go for your break now.”“Thank you, Miss Steele.”Joan was a talented cook. She had made Weston a bowl of light soup, and though it looked plain and unassuming, Stella caught a whiff of it and thought it s

“Don’t be ridiculous,” Stella replied, her expressions unchanged. “Joan’s a professional. Of course her cooking is better than mine!”Weston could sense that she didn’t want to talk about this any further, so he said, “I’m glad you like Joan’s cooking.”“Oh, yeah!” she echoed, not hesitating to heap praise upon Joan. “She really is an incredible cook!”Stella had always loved piquant and savory food, but her stomach would start to churn if she ate too much spicy food. She typically avoided it if she could, especially now after her miscarriage, where she had basically lost all interest in food and ate just to stay alive.Seeing that Stella was happily enjoying the soup, Weston gently caressed her cheek with his fingers and teased, “Hey, I’m the patient here. Shouldn’t you be feeding me?”“There aren’t any rules about patients needing to be fed!” she disputed. “You only have a cold! Your hands are perfectly fine! Feed yourself!”It was clear that Stella had no desire to feed him, b

Stella shut the door behind her. The flush of red on her cheeks vanished instantly.Now, only cold indifference remained on her face.… It was now early evening. While Weston had been busy working in the bedroom, Stella herself had been poring over the script for hours. Now devoted to the art of acting, she was well aware that she had neither formal training nor any experience to speak of, so she had to rely on hard work and determination to build up her skills.Bradley Lane once told her that she possessed a unique aura. Stella didn’t quite understand what he meant, but she did notice that while acting, she found it very easy to get into character and completely empathize with the character she was playing. She had gone through the scripts so many times now that she felt as if she truly inhabited that world.She closed the script and sighed softly.Her character had noticed that everyone was paying more attention to the heroine. At first, she told herself that it was unders

It was rare that he showed his emotions. Even when he was furious, there would only be a mere change in tone, something that gave him an air of authority without even the need to flare up. “Chris, do you still remember what you’ve done? Have I not done enough covering up for you?” Silence ensued. Weston could almost hear Chris breathing over the phone. “Weston, I admit that I’ve let you down. But think about it. Is there any turning back, now that things have come to this point?” “None whatsoever,” Weston snarled coldly. He looked at the closed door. As his thoughts drifted to the feeling of having Stella sitting next to him, the air around him filled with her subtle fragrance. How could they possibly turn back? Even if he wanted desperately to salvage the situation, it would definitely not be easy. “Consider it me begging you. Spend more time with Gwen…just for this year! After the two of you get married, everything will be fine…” “Are you still hoping that we’

Thinking on one’s feet and being quick-witted were of utmost importance to remain employed in such a wealthy family. … This time, Stella entered the room without knocking on the door. Weston looked over. “What are you doing?” “Joan is worried that you’ll die from your sickness and asked me to bring you some medicine.” “Did you come over of your own accord or was it because Joan asked for your help?” “What do you think?” Stella’s tone was mild as she sat at the side of his bed and retrieved the right dosage of medication. She handed him a thermometer. “Open your mouth and put this in.” He paused for a moment, keeping silent as he stared at her. Stella couldn’t comprehend what he was thinking. “What are you staring at me for? Measure your temperature.” Weston’s interest was piqued as he stepped back. “How rare. I used to always be the one to command you. Now, it’s your turn.” Stella was stunned for a moment. A while later, she glared at him and flung the thermomet

Stella had rarely ever woken up before him.He had always been terrifyingly strong, but their lovemaking last night must have consumed a lot of his energy, leaving him so tired that he was still sound asleep.She stared at him and suddenly felt like doing something naughty. She pinched his nose and held her fingers there, trying to suffocate him. Unsurprisingly, he soon knitted his handsome brows and quickly woke up.He was surprised to see her mesmerizing eyes as soon as he woke up, which made him pause. He then took her hand into his and kissed it again and again.“Are you okay?” he asked with concern, remembering how wildly he ravaged her last night.She had only been willing to be intimate with him because she was under the influence of a drug, yet he had taken advantage of her and had his way with her over and over again last night.Stella did not speak. Seeing her like that made his expressions turn a little colder. He fell silent for a long time before he got up and sl

The moment Stella saw him, she flew into his arms and clambered onto his body. She kissed him again and again, trying to search for his breath so she could explore his body even deeper. All she wanted was to let him extinguish the fire burning inside her.Half an hour had passed, and the effect of the drug on her body was its strongest now.Weston swallowed his saliva. Without any hesitation, he pinned her against the bathroom mirror and kissed her vehemently on her face, her shoulders, then her neck.Stella could not stop herself from letting out loud moans. The sounds she produced only drove Weston wilder. Even the corners of his eyes began to turn red now.Luckily, there was still a thread of reason in his mind. He pushed her away and, while panting heavily, asked her, “Who am I, Stella?”But Stella’s mind was occupied with her primal urges. She ignored his question and grabbed his shirt collar, saying, “Let’s do it…” The sight of her filled Weston with a desire to just give

Weston paused, then simply replied, “Okay.”When he saw her changing into a pair of high heels, he followed her around and asked, “Where are you going?”“Oh, to a private concert.”Then she added, “If you’re going to spend the night here tonight, then please take care of Elias and Emma. But if you have to leave, I’ll ask Roger to come over instead.”“Don’t worry,” he said. “Just go out and enjoy yourself. I’ll be at home and take good care of the kids.”Stella paused suddenly, feeling inexplicably weird about what Weston had just said. It sounded like she was forcing him to stay at home and take care of the kids while she went out to have fun without a care in the world. She turned around to look at Weston, feeling like he was acting like a poor neglected housewife.She shook her head and tried to shake this terrifying thought out of her mind.When they arrived at the concert, Hayden offered his arm to her like a gentleman. They then walked into the private concert together, w

Stella’s words rendered Weston speechless. She was right. He had been the one to agree to let Stella date other people, so he must seem like a fool saying all those things to her.He withdrew his hands and forced himself to calm down a little. “I have no intention to stand in your way,” he told Stella. “I was only worried about Elias and Emma. Since they’re also here, I think you need to take their feelings into consideration.”The children could sense the strained atmosphere between the adults, so they just waited patiently on the couch with Roger, occasionally poking their heads out to look at their parents.Seeing his kids like that, Weston slowly added, “I’m only here to see the kids, so both of you can go ahead with your date.”Stella said nothing and just took Hayden’s hand and left.When they got downstairs, Hayden glanced at her and asked, “Are you sure you want to just leave him like that?”“I don’t know,” Stella massaged the point between her brows. “I’m not sure wh

Hayden Quirk arrived half an hour earlier than Stella did on their first date.“You’re much earlier than I expected,” he joked as Stella walked in.Stella was actually on time, but she still felt a little guilty when she saw him already waiting for her when she arrived.“The traffic is terrible today,” she said.“Don’t worry about it,” Hayden said, handing her the menu. “Mr. Ford expected me to wait for you for at least an hour.”“I seriously don’t know what you guys are up to,” she grumbled, exasperated, “but I hope it will at least be over soon. Just don’t drag it out and cause me any trouble.”She ordered a few dishes, then handed the menu back to him. Hayden took it from her, ordered a few more signature dishes that the restaurant was popular for, then looked at Stella with a faint smile.“Did you think this is all just a joke?” he asked.“What else could it be?”“I am serious about this,” he told her, his voice suddenly turning grave. “Since even Mr. Ford agreed that we s

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 Wes

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

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

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
