Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1118

Chapter 1118Chapter 1118
The rain last night was much less intense.
When Stella woke up the next morning, she saw that the branches of many plants in the backyard had
snapped off from the strong wind.
She pushed open the window to bring in the fresh air.
She stood on the balcony to sober up a bit. Then, she changed her clothes as she usually did every
morning, walked downstairs to sit on the sofa in the hall, and waited for Ben to come and pick her up.
Ben arrived right on time. His expression eased a bit when he saw Stella sitting there, all ready and
waiting.“ Mrs. Ford, the trial is about to begin. Let‘s go.”
Stella stood up and walked silently to him.
He studied her face and said to her out of concern that she would feel nervous, “Don‘t worry too much.
Everything has been taken care of. Miss Cohen has dropped the charges and will not appear as the
plaintiff. There will only be Mr. Warren...” While he reminded her of the precautions, she felt rather calm.
She was in fact much calmer than she ever was in such a situation.
As he was talking, he noticed the unprecedented calmness on her face. Finding it rather unusual, he
stopped. “Mrs. Ford, is there anything you don’t understand?”
“No. Ms. Hampton has told me all about it yesterday.”
She smiled and said to Ben, “You don’t have to be too nervous. It’s my business. You make it look like
you’re the defendant.”
She was still in the mood for jokes, so Ben touched his nose and smiled reservedly. Indeed, he looked a little uneasy. Finally, he decided to tell her. “Sorry, Mrs. Ford. I was the one who
accidentally told Mr. Ford about you and Justin yesterday…”
Stella seemed unconcerned and showed no expression on her face. “You are his personal assistant. It’s
your job to supervise me. Don’t worry about it.”
Ben was surprised by her answer. He felt odd and was still a little guilty. “I know there is nothing between
you and Justin, and I was just reporting to him about your day, as usual, I didn’t expect that Mr. Ford’s
reaction would be so big…”
When he said this, he felt a little guilty.
If this had happened in the past, he would never believe that a friendly hug would enrage Weston this
much—
When Weston was with Guinevere, he never even cared when Guinevere shot intimate scenes. But after
he got together with Stella, he turned extremely over possessive.
Ben saw him do a lot of things that he would never have done before. It wasn’t his first time displaying
such pure and intense possessiveness, though, so he felt a little sorry for her.
It was obviously a small matter, but it could have caused them to fight.
Stella smiled and did not say anything. “Let’s get in the car.”
He pulled open the car door and watched her get in.
The car wafted steadily across the road. Everything was going well.
In the car, she suddenly asked, “Where is he?” “Mr. Ford has a multinational meeting today, so he
cannot accompany you to the trial,” Ben stiffly made an excuse for Weston.
He rarely lied, so he was a little nervous.
Weston should’ve been by her side at a time like this.
He had made so much preparation for her, so Ben thought he would’ve definitely accompanied Stella,
what more in such a period.
Besides, the meeting wasn‘t that important and could have been postponed. But to his shock, Weston
wasn‘t showing up and was simply letting her face it alone.
He had no idea what went on in Weston‘s mind.
He obviously treasured Stella and took care of everything, yet he was absent at such a time.
Was it necessary to be so angry, though?
Stella propped up her chin and looked out the window, ignoring Ben‘s comfort.
