Mr. Ford Is Jealous
Chapter 206

Chapter 206

Her heart tensed the moment she heard him say it, fearful that he would be unhappy.

But looking at the smile on his face, she knew that he was teasing her.

Despite the fact that he could tell she was putting up an act, he was willing to accept this version of her.

Stella's expression gradually darkened.

It was ironic to see him putting so much effort to make her return to her old self when once, she had loved him with her all but he paid no attention to it. She knew his intentions, but she didn't show that she did.

After finishing the meal, he helped her clean up. She was about to clean it up but seeing that he had stood up and done it, she left the task to him.

When they were still together before this, she would never let him do any of the chores. All he had to do was sit there while she took care of everything for him, as a nanny would. But the tables had turned now She sat on the sofa and took out her phone. Roger had sent her multiple messages.

In an instant, the tough exterior she had put up was gone. She lied to him. She lied that she had a very important task and needed to be on a business trip. But she was only a teacher... where could she go? To make sure the lie didn't get exposed, Yvonne even called him to explain, and he had apparently bought it.

It had been a few days since she went home, and this had never happened before.

Roger would call her every night to hear her voice and Weston would go away when they spoke. A faint smile appeared on her face as she read his messages of the interesting stuff happening at school.

When Weston came out of the kitchen and saw such a sight, he felt his heart tighten. As the sunlight pierced through the window, Stella looked tiny sitting on the couch.

She was wearing the same house clothes she used to wear; it was as if they were still married. Her jet-black hair clung to her cheeks, and with the sun radiating her from behind, the hair on her face as well as the blue blood vessels could be seen under her almost transparent skin. She was smiling. It was a genuine smile. One look and he could tell that the person on the

phone must be someone she cared about.

This was how she always was. When it came to the ones she cared about, she would give them all her love.

It was at that moment that Weston realized that Stella had only been putting up an act for him and he almost fell for it.

If he hadn't seen the sincere smile she had right now, he would've thought the old Stella was back, at least for a moment.

...back to when he was the only one in her eyes.

Only when a tall figure appeared next to her did Stella come back to her senses.

She put her phone away and gazed at him. "What are we going to do in the afternoon?"

It was two hours before noon, and having just had breakfast, she didn't want to eat anything.

He was about to say something when his phone rang. He glanced at the screen and the look in his eyes changed as he subconsciously turned to Stella. She understood what he meant and without a word, shifted her gaze away. Weston wanted to say something but there was nothing to say at this point.
