Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 1016

Chapter 1016

When she finished talking, she saw that his face had tensed, and he was exuding the air of a man who had been disparaged and belittled.

"It must be really nerve - racking when you're trying to keep a secret from someone …unless you do something about it yourself, right?" Stella replied with a smile.

"You must be worried sick every time I contacted Aunt Diana, fearing I’d bring up your past sins toher.It must be hard to bear, huh, knowing that your secret may be exposed any time, that you’ll never be at peace for the rest of your life…” The longer she spoke, the darker Michael's face turned...and that was when he suddenly grabbed her wrist and yelled, “We need to talk!”

When Ben saw this, he immediately headed toward them with his brows frowning deeply.

“Just wait for me here,” Stella told Ben.

"I'm going to talk to him for a while."

"I can’t do that,” Ben refused.

“I must make sure you’re safe, Mrs.Ford!”

“You can’t be serious!” Michael snorted.

“What's wrong, my niece? Why do you need to be so closely guarded? You haven’t been making enemies, have you? No, that’s not possible ! With your gentle nature, who else apart from your love rival would ever want to harm you?”

"That's none of your business," she interrupted him.

“ Let's find a quiet place to talk."

"You can watch over me from afar," she told Ben.

“If you see any sign of things going wrong, step in right away.I won't be hindering you from doing your job, will I?” Ben considered it for a few seconds before he finally nodded.

“Please call for me as soon as you're in trouble, Mrs.Ford!”

"Okay." They were both at the end of a hallway.

Michael glanced at the time and commented, "You're doing real well now, aren’t you? Weston Ford practically treats you like his most precious prized possession.

He even has a bodyguard follow you everywhere!" He peered at Ben, standing not so far away, and shrugged , adding, “I remember him well.He’s Weston Ford’s highly capable personal assistant .He’s far more valuable than your average employee.Perhaps Weston Ford is the only man who would assign an assistant of such caliber as his wife’s bodyguard.Isn't he worried that he'll waste his assistant's talents with you?”

“That old version of me is long gone.I cut all contact with those women a long time ago.If you tell her what I did back then, all that would achieve would be to bring her pain and suffering…” Stella was still in a daze,thinking about the news that Diana was pregnant.

“How far along is she?” she asked frankly.

Michael was taken aback by the question for a while but soon regained composure , and his expression softened significantly.

“Only two months,” he replied in a gentle voice.

“She was bewildered herself.She thought there was something wrong with her because her period had been erratic…”

When the topic turned to his unborn baby, the man’s eyes shone with genuine tenderness, which was rare.

Even his smile looked sincere , unlike the doctored ones he would usually display.

“That’s enough,” Stella stopped him, feeling confused herself.

“I will tell her the truth no matter what..." She had been meaning to tell Dianaabout it but, having been hit with crisis after crisis lately, simply couldn't find the right time to do so.
