Mr. Ford is Jealous

Chapter 738 

His contempt and agitation had reached a breaking point. 

Daisy noticed that something was wrong. “Why are you so angry?” 

She furrowed her brows and surveyed him. 

Xavier snapped back to attention and rubbed in between his brows. “Nothing, I just don’t fancy being talked back to

like that…” 

“When did you get so emotionally affected?” Daisy chuckled as she teased. “It’s not like you at all.” 

Xavier’s face darkened. “Daisy, I’m serious about you, but it doesn’t mean you can test my boundaries.” 

Daisy’s face froze. “How am I testing your boundaries?” 

“Whatever it is…” Xavier retracted his gaze. “I don’t like paranoid women.” 

In the office. 

Zeta heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Ella.“ Thank you for helping me out just now.” 

Stella shook her head. “I wasn’t much help… it’s just that I can tell Xavier probably brought Daisy along to spite 

you.” 

He was clearly here to kick up a fuss, but what she couldn’t figure out was his objective. 

Zeta furrowed her brows. “He wouldn’t do something so meaningless.” 

With that, she walked to her desk and shut her eyes, feeling a wave of fatigue wash over her. “I’m nothing to him,

and it’s just a waste of time for him to create trouble for me…” 

Stella said, “It doesn’t really look like you’re nothing to him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come all the way here to

cause you trouble.” 

Zeta shook her head. “Let’s stop talking about him.” 

If he really cared for her a tad bit, he wouldn’t have remained unmoved during all those years when she pursued

him relentlessly. 

Just when she thought that things were finally coming to fruition between them, he broke off their engagement

without rhyme or reason. 

He even showed Daisy off to the world, embarrassing her thoroughly and trampling viciously on whatever was left

of her pride. 

From whichever angle she looked, it simply felt like he never cared about her. 

Stella didn’t find herself in a position to comment on their relationship , so she decided to take her leave with

medicine in hand. 

By the time she left, the day was coming to an end. 

Wendy texted her for help to buy some desserts from a specific shop back home. 

Stella felt put on the spot. 

She didn’t want to return to the Ford Mansion. Even if she didn’t return to Stardust Mansion, she could return to the

apartment Weston had brought her to today. 

However, Wendy called her the next moment and added more things she needed Stella’s help to buy back home. 

Stella sighed and recalled what Old Mr. Ford reminded her previously and acceded to Wendy’s requests. 

The moment she stepped into the Ford Mansion carrying bags filled with things, she spotted Guinevere in the

mansion from afar. 

After a whole day of being with Zack, she had become a lot more familiar with him. 

Wendy was glad to have some time off her hands and a break from carrying the child. She came to the door to

receive Stella. 

“You’re back?” 

She whispered in her ear, “Don’t mind her. They just called off their engagement yesterday, and she’s probably still

angry inside. She probably won’t be returning home anytime soon.” 

Stella understood what she meant and kept her silence. 

Wendy sighed as she patted the back of Stella’s hand.“ 

It’ll be tough on you the next few days.” “Don’t worry,” Stella assured her. 

She put down the bags of things she bought and said, “ It’s getting late. I need to be on my way.” 

Guinevere stood up and said, “Going off already? Why don’t you come in and have a seat?” 

She spoke with the authority of the mistress of the house. 

Wendy furrowed her brows. 

Guinevere smiled. “It’s about time for dinner. Why don’t you stay for dinner before leaving?” 

Stella forced a smile and glanced past her emotionlessly. She completely ignored Guinevere and looked at Wendy

instead. “I’ll head off first?” 

“Stay safe along the way.” 

“I will.” 

Chapter 739 

Guinevere wasn’t pleased to be completely ignored. She strode toward Stella and raised her voice. “Hey, I’m talking

to you. Did you hear me?” She stood right in front of Stella, blocking her view. 

Stella looked at her with annoyance. “What exactly do you want?” 

“I’m just inviting you to dinner, that’s all,” Guinevere replied with gusto. 

“If my memory serves me right, this isn’t your house.” Stella folded her arms in front of her chest and looked at her

in disdain, “Inviting a guest to someone else’s home – is that the kind of manners you were brought up with?” 

Her words were sharp and incisive; she was more aggressive than she ever was. 

Guinevere’s face darkened with displeasure, then suddenly contorted into a wicked smile, “Do you know that you

currently look worlds apart from Stella Sealy?” 

She veered to another extreme and said coldly, “Ella, Weston is treating you as a replacement! Stella would never

be as vicious and threatening as you are! Your face is the only thing that resembles her! You’re a completely

different person compared to her!” 

“Are you trying to give me some tips and suggestions?” Stella looked at her with hilarity in her eyes. “Thank you for

giving me ideas on keeping Weston by my side for a while longer. I’ll make some adjustments to myself and make

him like me even more…” 

“You’re truly shameless!” 

Guinevere became increasingly annoyed, furious by whatever Stella said. “I’ve never seen any woman so happy to

be another’s replacement!” 

“Well, now you’ve seen one.” Stella shrugged nonchalantly. “Consider your eyes opened.” 

The more agitated Guinevere was, the calmer Stella was. 

She knew that it was the way to make Guinevere even more agitated. 

And the more agitated one became, the more one exposed its vulnerabilities. 

Guinevere’s face paled with anger, and she was about to open her mouth when Stella unceremoniously pushed her

away and turned to leave. 

“You…” 

Guinevere instinctively gave chase. 

Outside the door. 

Xavier was just entering the mansion when he bumped 

into Stella, that was rushing out. 

“Hey! What are you in such a rush for?” When he took a clear look and saw that it was Stella, his face changed.

“It’s you.” 

Stella ignored him and pushed him aside before making her exit. 

Guinevere wanted to chase after her, but Xavier held her down by her shoulders. “What’s going on? Why are you

so angry?” 

She calmed herself down and said irritably, “Nothing.” 

Xavier’s eyes shifted as he bent over and whispered something in Guinevere’s ears. 

At Stardust Mansion. 

Weston finally returned at 9.30 in the evening. 

When he came in, he saw Stella seated on the couch, flipping channels with a bored look on her face. 

Stella wasn’t even paying attention to the television. 

In a daze, she tried to find something to keep her hands busy with. She was clearly lost in her thoughts and didn’t

even notice Weston sitting next to her. 

“A penny for your thoughts?” 

She found herself in a warm, familiar embrace, surrounded by a refreshing, musky scent. 

Stella was stunned for a moment before relaxing and leaning into his embrace. “I’m a little upset…” 

Weston lowered his head and kissed her hair. He reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear. “Who provoked

you?” 

He was rather shocked. 

Stella had never admitted to him that she was in a bad mood and certainly never so coquettishly. 

His eyes remained calm, but only he knew about the emotions that began roiling in his heart. 

Stella tilted her head up, the back of her beck resting on her chest as she whined, “Xavier bullied me today. Will you

stand up for me?”. 

Weston paused for a moment before he let out a chuckle. 

It was a chuckle that came deep from his chest, low and rumbling. 

He kissed her cheek and, in a tender and affectionate tone, cooed, “Is this a complaint I’m receiving?”
