Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 986

Chapter 986

Stella appeared calm and composed, but her back was soaked with cold sweat. 

“Mom?” she asked while resolutely putting on a calm facade, perhaps because she was hiding something.” What‘s wrong?” 

“Nothing...” answered Wendy with a shake of her head. Stella‘s voice brought her senses back. 

Sure that Stella must‘ve not known about how poisonous the oleanders were, she tried to warn her. 

“That plant over there...” 

Crash! 

Before she could finish, a loud noise coming from the window interrupted her. 

The two women jumped in fright. They hurried to where the noise came from and saw a black figure crashing into the room from outside. The window had been broken in, and the floor was littered with shards of shattered glass “Careful!” 

Stella‘s split–second response managed to stop Wendy from getting hit by the flying glass. 

Wendy was so spooked that her face turned white as a 

sheet. She stood motionless and stared at the figure lying on the floor. “What... What on earth is going on here...?” she asked in a daze. 

There was a gaping hole in the windowpane that brought a biting chill into the room as a gust of wind blew in. 

As soon as Stella regained her senses, she quickly called out for the bodyguards. “I think he‘s one of the workers outside,” she told Wendy, trying to calm her down. “He probably fell in accidentally.” 

Stella noticed that the person wore a work uniform while holding a wrench, so she assumed he must be one of the maintenance workers. 

“Are you okay?” she asked him. 

The man moved slightly and groaned before answering.“ I‘m... I‘m so sorry...” 

He slowly propped himself up, revealing his large plump face. 

“I‘m here to repair the air conditioner,” he explained. “I was installing an overhead unit when I slipped and fell. I was only hanging on a steel wire, and I had no choice but to break the glass window and lunge in... 

The man went on to apologize profusely. There were still bloodstains on his face from being cut by the glass. He picked up his peaked cap on the floor with shaking hands, all the while apologizing.
