Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 70
Stella took a deep breath and said nothing. With her head lowered, she pressed on the metal lighter. A flame materialized. Weston slowly moved the cigar towards the flame. His eyes were fixed on Stella as he leaned over.White smoke rose from the cigar's tip as it caught the flame. The tobacco sizzled slightly as it burned. The flame illuminated Weston’s face, rendering his features even more striking.At such a close distance, Stella could clearly discern the stark edges of his strong jawline. She wanted to look away but was firmly held in place by Weston. Weston maintained his intense gaze on Stella’s face. He didn’t look away as he smoked the cigar. He took a deep huff and released a cloud of thick rolling smoke onto her face.Stella coughed immediately. Her eyes reddened, and tears started to form in the corners of her eyes. She covered her mouth with her hand, but it was shoved away by Weston.He tried to look at her. He tried to look at her whole face without missing the sm

Stella sneered, “You think too highly of him.” “I beg you, please! If you leave now, I’ll die a terrible death…” Stella remained unmoved and flung her hand away. “That has nothing to do with me.” This was the woman who had mercilessly tossed her under the bus previously. Why should she respond to her pleas? She was about to leave when a male voice said, distinctively displeased. “Why aren’t you accompanying Mr. Ford? Where are you going!” Stella ignored him and hastened her footsteps. The man’s face changed as he stood up with the intention of chasing after her. However, something suddenly came to mind and he threw a glance at Weston. Weston’s tall figure was shrouded in the darkness. His luxurious dress pants wrapped around his long legs, and the subtle light from a lit cigarette flickered at his fingers. He looked so out of place here, yet at the same time, he appeared to be lord over this place. Everyone was under his reign. Seeing Weston stay silent, the man cha

She spoke very softly, but it drew the attention of everyone in the room. The secretary looked over and saw hope amidst her desperation, “Thank you, thank you…” Stella ignored her. She was still struggling within herself. She didn’t want to poke her nose into the business of others, but a thought came to mind when she stepped foot out of the room. Weston was doing this on purpose. He was deliberately putting up a front before her. A man like him had no need to get his hands dirty or even verbalize his intentions. A simple look was enough and everyone would fight to do his bidding. These people were familiar with the inner workings of the marketplace and knew their way around people. They wouldn’t go to such extremes to make things ugly. Their sudden impudence was surely associated with Weston himself. Even if she didn’t make a move now, there would be more trouble waiting for her down the road. The mere thought of having to deal with more made her tired. The men s

“Whatever for? The session started so long ago, what’s the point of her going right now? To look for trouble?” The person on the other end didn’t even dare to breathe. The secretary hung up, her head throbbing. She eventually decided to contact her own boss. Before she opened her mouth to speak, the man on the other side beat her to it, “Why isn’t the tutor here yet?” The secretary apologized hurriedly, “I’m very sorry, Mr. Smith, the assistant mixed up the ladies and mistook the tutor for Lily. She’s still at Lowe Garden…” “What!” The man leaped to his feet from the couch. Before he could put out the cigarette in his mouth, he yelled, “How did you two screw something so trivial up?” “Mr. Smith, please don’t worry. That tutor…” “Who cares about that tutor! Just tell me: Did you offend anyone? Especially Mr. Ford?” Upon her denial, Mr. Smith heaved a sigh of relief. “Whatever. Just find another tutor for me.” Dance tutors were a dime a dozen. If, however, he was to off

While she was in a daze, the man seated beside her had been observing her all the while. She was dressed formally for an interview and had light make-up on which made her look more spirited and brighter. Because it was an interview in which she did not need to showcase her dance skills, she wore a pair of high heels, which was extremely rare for her. Stella seldom wore high-heels, and she wasn’t very familiar with them. Her discomfort with it was clear when she walked, yet she wore it with a unique flair. “A penny for your thoughts?” Weston shifted his position and lounged leisurely on the couch. Stella shook her head. “Nothing much.” “You want to join their games?” Stella heard the threat in his voice and lifted her head, looking at him in frustration. She held herself back and forced out the words a moment later, “Mr. Ford, how can I help you?” Weston furrowed his brows, disliking how she addressed him. He lifted her chin and said, “Why don’t you call me Weston?”

Weston took a sip from the wine glass Stella held to his lips. However, Stella’s hand shook and some of the wine spilled out, staining Weston’s pristine white shirt. Instead of making the shirt look dirty, the dark red stains added a dangerous, menacing aura to Weston. He was half-shrouded in darkness, and the other half under dim light. He looked just like half an angel and half a devil. Stella immediately put the glass down. “I’m sorry about this.” She pulled out some napkins, intending to clean up the mess. Her hand suddenly paused in mid-air as she hesitated, “Mr. Ford, perhaps you should do it yourself.” Weston kept silent and stared right into her eyes. He reached out, grabbed her wrist, and maneuvered her hand to press the napkin onto his shirt. The positions of the stains were slightly awkward. Stella pulled her hand back instinctively, but Weston held her hand in place forcefully. He led her hand in wiping his shirt, stroke by stroke. He fixed his dark, b

The cigarette went out with a sharp sizzle. Its light was extinguished in an instant. Stella thought she must have heard wrongly. The noise bustled around her with no signs of abating. It was almost as if the chaos on the other side of the private room could not touch the space that Weston and she were in. There were only the two of them there. The silence was deafening. Weston waited for a long while but did not receive any response from Stella. He turned to look at her. “Come with me. State your price.” Stella shut her eyes. She lowered her head, no longer able to hold back her laughter. A cryptic smile appeared on her face, and she laughed so hard that her shoulders shook. Weston furrowed his brows as he saw her laughing uncontrollably. He reached out and lifted her chin. “I asked you to state your price.” Stella collected herself and looked at him expressionlessly. “I want my child back. Can you give that to me?” At that moment, she felt a sharp, piercing pa

That would have been way better than her state right now, compared to the searing pain that she felt each time she thought of her lost child… Falling asleep was a struggle every night, and when she eventually managed to fall asleep, she would awake in tears each time. What about him? Stella looked coldly at him. “The thing I regret the most in my life is…Mm!” Before she could complete her sentence, her lips were sealed by another. She could only swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue, while what she had spoken were lost between their lips. Weston kissed her hard, his arms circling her waist like bands of steel. He pressed her down on the couch and exerted more pressure with every passing second. Her words were the final straw that broke the camel’s back. He had reached the limits of what he could bear, and all he could do now was to let his overwhelming emotions drown himself out. He wanted to kiss her… He wanted to take her… He wanted to stop her da
