Mr. Ford Is Jealous

Chapter 1398

Stella thought she would have a fun trip with Emma and Elias, but the two men stifled the atmosphere and made it weird.

Emma and Elias were unconcerned about the adults and still had a good time, but Stella went through some inexplicable tormenting feeling at heart throughout the trip.

When Stella finally got home and saw that Weston wanted to follow them, she quickly stopped him. “Okay, that’s it. That’s it.”

Stella looked at Roger, who was already in the house. She was worried that the two men would fight if they stayed in the same space again.

Weston understood what she meant and stopped without giving her a hard time.” Well, I’ll be upstairs. Call me if you need anything.”

Stella nodded. After sending Weston away, she turned to find Roger staring intently at her. She was not sure how long he had been standing there and tried to use Emma and Elias as a front to avoid the uncomfortable topic.

Stella asked Roger if Emma and Elias were asleep, but Roger cut her off. “They’re already asleep. I gave them both a bath. I have something to ask you. Come here.”

Stella rubbed her nose, followed him, and sat in the dining area. For some reason, she felt Roger was about to lecture her like a parent.

“Why have you been getting closer to that guy lately? What’s going on?” he interrogated.

“It’s just like what you saw the other day.”

“Are you just treating him as a… friend with benefits?” Roger hesitated to mention the term. He did not think Stella would be so open to this idea.

Stella paused a little and suddenly let out a laugh. “He can’t leave me alone now.

He’s always pestering me. It’s getting kind of annoying.”

“He’s bugging you, and you’re going to let him get what he wants?”

Stella shrugged. “I didn’t think I’d ever be with him again, but when I saw him lock himself up that day, I thought all these were unnecessary.”

The fact that she avoided him meant she still could not let go of him.

Stella said, “My feelings for him have faded. I don’t mind being with him or not. All I

need now is freedom and nothing more.”

Roger frowned at her words. “He locked himself up?”

“Yes.” Stella nodded and sighed as she recalled the sight of Weston at that time.

“You’ve never seen anything like that. He even locked himself in a cage like a beast in chains. He wasn’t acting like a human at all.”

There were so many bodyguards around and blood all over him.

While speaking, Stella propped up her forehead helplessly. “I don’t want to see him go crazy like that again. After all, he’s Emma and Elias’s biological father. I may not love him anymore, but I don’t want to see him like that.”

“Is it really just because he’s the children’s father? Is there no other reason?”

“Maybe it’s out of pity,” Stella added, weighing her words. She was unsure about her feelings for Weston, but she was sure she did not like him anymore. She felt more comfortable and free without him.

Even if he constantly bugged her, she would not mind keeping him around as long as he did not do anything to upset her.

“I don’t really mind him around. Besides, I’ve gotten used to his presence.”

Stella was no longer resistant to Weston’s closeness because of some compassion she felt for him during his excessive behavior before. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Roger fell into a long silence. At last, he nodded. “I understand.”

Roger snapped his phone to the table and kept the call screen open. When the man on the other end of the line heard Stella’s explanation, his gaze turned obscure.

Weston knew he was right. Stella accepted him only out of pity. She saw him in a terrible state that day and felt guilty. Feeling sorry for him, she finally stopped rejecting him.
