Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1102

Chapter 1102Chapter 1102 “You might be required to act at certain points,” Justin continued. “You‘ll have to cooperate
with us. If you don‘t like pen and paper, you can type down your notes with the computer instead.”
“No, thanks. I‘ll just use the pen and paper.”
“Okay,” Justin nodded. “Let‘s start, then.”
After that, time passed very quickly.
Stella earnestly remembered everything that Justin had told her.
“That‘s all for now,” he said. “Is there anything that you don‘t understand?“.
“No,” she replied.
Justin put away the documents in his hands and glanced at her before asking, “So what are you planning
to do after this?”
Stella knew then that he must have had other reasons to be here today, reasons other than simply being
Tina‘s assistant.
She sat back down and looked straight into his eyes before saying, “Professor Hall, if you have anything
to say, just come out and say it.”
Justin paused for a while and smiled helplessly.
“Actually,” he began, “I shouldn‘t be the one to bring this up, but everything between us... it‘s been over a
long time ago, hasn‘t it?”
He found himself being perfectly at peace when he said all these. Perhaps all his feelings for her in the
past were simply a competitive instinct in the face of a man like Weston Ford. Perhaps that was the real
reason behind his obsession with Stella back then and why he found it so difficult to give her up.
After all, it was extremely difficult to beat someone like Weston in any way. As a man, Justin had a
natural tendency to be competitive. This urged him to prove that although Weston was remarkable in
every other way and could get everything he wanted in his life, he could at least beat him in one aspect
by having Stella.
Now, looking back, he realized how reckless and impulsive he had been.
“You‘ve probably guessed that... I‘m here because I have something to say to you.”
“Yes, I know.”
Justin sighed.
“The truth is... it‘s a little embarrassing for me to say this, but since we last met, I’ve always been trying
to find an opportunity to make it clear to you that...”
Stella slowly sat up straight. Her fingers curled up, seemingly worried about what he would say next. Noticing that she was tensing up, Justin chuckled and reassured her, “Relax. I‘m not here to make things
awkward for you. I just want to apologize.”
“Back then,” he continued, “I noticed you because of your brother Roger. I was attracted to you. At the
time, I really did have feelings for you.” He paused to loosen his tie, then went on to come clean about
the whole thing. “But later on, when I suggested that we get married, I must admit that I didn‘t take
careful consideration before I made the decision. Now that I‘ve calmed down and thought a lot, I realize
that even if we did get married then, it might not have resulted in happiness. I know you only agreed to
marry me because you wanted to get away from Weston Ford. Your reasons for wanting to marry me
were not pure and sincere. But my own reasons were... not so pure and sincere either.
“Stella, perhaps all I wanted was to triumph over a man like Weston Ford. I know I have that competitive
streak that men tend to have, which ultimately inflated the affection I felt for you.
“Besides, the way he coerced you made me feel like I could be your savior , swooping in and saving you
from the clutches of misery.
“Although I did not succeed, I still made a false promise to you out of my own selfishness ,” he admitted.
“That alone must‘ve caused you harm.”
After speaking , Justin felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He had always been
troubled by his past behavior towards Stella.
Already pushing forty, he was no longer an immature kid who‘d get carried away by love and romance.
Even his own son was now ten. He should have never acted so rashly and unwisely.
After hearing all that, Stella also let out a long sigh of relief.
She smiled and softly said, “Don‘t worry about it. I wasn‘t rational back then. All I could think of was how
to escape Weston‘s control...” Seeing that she was relieved, Justin teased her, “You didn‘t think that Iwould confess my love to you and try to take you away again, did you?”
Now sure that he had now let go of his feelings for her, Stella chuckled and replied, “No, not at all...”
“But you looked really nervous just now...”
As they chatted and laughed, the previously tense atmosphere relaxed considerably.
It was at that moment that Tina, clad in a business suit and busily flipping through the document in her
hand, returned...
