Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144

Weston abruptly extinguished his cigarette on the ashtray before turning to face her. “Do you really have to talk to me like that?” 

“It has to end today,” Stella answered firmly. 

“End?” The words whirled in his tongue before he spit them out softly. With a wry smile on his face, he said, “I rushed all the way here from Anh City, and I didn’t get a wink of sleep. The minute I landed, I came here to see you, only to hear you telling me you’re marrying someone else?” 

She wasn’t sure whether it was because the room was dark, but while Weston was saying all of this, she saw a sorrowful expression on his face. 

But it was only a fleeting moment. 

Perhaps she had seen wrong, she thought. 

There was no way people like him could be sad. 

“I never wanted you to come back.” She shook her head with firmness. 

The whole room went pin-drop silent as there was no other sound. 

Stella could only sense the passing time as Weston was puffing smoke. 

“Don’t use that word.” He pulled her hands and kissed her on the corner of her lips. “I don’t want you to die just yet.” 

His gaze was filled with tenderness as if trying to drown her in his love. If only he had looked at her the way he did while they were still married, Stella would’ve been willing to do anything for him. Now, though, he was like a pesky parasite that made her helpless, leaving her nowhere to run. 

Footsteps could be heard outside the corridor. Stella’s body instantly tensed up. Seeing how nervous she was, Weston laughed. “Are you scared that people would see us cheating?” 

He whispered the last word deliberately in a sultry manner, causing her to pull her head away from his hot breath on her ear. 

After a while, the footsteps outside disappeared.
