Mr. Ford Is Jealous

Chapter 1406

“Should I take Elias and Emma away if Warren Ford comes to see them again?” Roger asked.

Stella paused and fell silent. She ended up not giving him a definite answer.

After a while, she turned to her children and asked them, “Do you guys like that old © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

man?”

Elias and Emma scrutinized their mother’s expressions to find out how she was

feeling.

“Just tell me the truth,” Stella said helplessly. “You’re not allowed to lie.”

Hearing this, Elias and Emma nodded earnestly.

Stella sighed. It appeared that the children liked their great–grandfather, after all.

But then Emma quickly climbed onto her lap and whispered in her ear, “But I like Mommy more than anyone else in the world!”

“That’s right!” Elias echoed his sister. “Mommy is the most important person in the

world!”

In fact, they only liked Warren Ford because he was nice to them. The children would show affection towards any stranger that treated them kindly anyway.

Stella understood what her children were trying to tell her, and her heart was suddenly filled with a warm fuzzy feeling. She once again covered their foreheads

with tender kisses.

“Hey!” cried Roger, sounding as if he was jealous. “What do you mean you like her the most? What about me?”

“We like you the most too!”

After returning from the filming set, Stella had basically not seen Weston at all for the past few days.

Nevertheless, her life continued happily, and she spent the entire weekend playing with Elias and Emma. The kids would sometimes ask her where Weston was, but only out of sheer curiosity instead of actually missing him. They seemed to be completely indifferent to his presence in their lives.

On Monday, Stella sent the kids back to their boarding school and gave everyone in

her office a day off.

Meanwhile, Roger had been very busy lately with work, expanding the Garclas

business, though he never forgot to find time to spend with Stella and the kids as soon as he could.

But Stella had, in fact, been consciously keeping a healthy distance from him. She knew she could never be with him because she only thought of her as her brother and nothing else.

Roger had begun to sense this as well, so he gradually stopped coming to see Stella except when he wanted to see Elias and Emma.

And so their relationship began to return to the right path.

It was in the middle of the night, and Stella sat in front of the window sill as she poured herself a glass of whiskey. In an attempt to enjoy her alone time, she put on a horror movie she had been meaning to

watch for a long time and snuggled into the couch, eager to wind down and savor her rare vacation.

She then suddenly heard something breaking outside the window. She paused and assured herself that she was probably just mistaken.

However, not long after that, the wind began to howl outside. The glass window creaked. Stella started feeling uneasy, so she got up and closed the window.

Soon, she thought she saw the figure of a man flashing across the window. She jumped in fright and rushed over to pull the curtain down.

Her breathing quickened now. She regretted choosing to watch a horror movie so late at night because now it was making her paranoid about everything. Hence, she turned off the film and decided on a relaxing variety show to watch instead.

But before long, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the living room. Her ears pricked up, and she strained to hear, only to hear footsteps vanish after that.

Stella was convinced that she must still be paranoid because of the horror movie she had just watched. She reminded herself not to overthink and that nothing could scare her more than her own wild imagination.

Slowly, she managed to distract herself and be immersed in the variety show she was watching.
