Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178

Stella’s body trembled as her face turned pale, but she didn’t say a word. Mr. Smith had driven here to fetch Ruby. After settling Ruby in the car, Stella stood at the door and stayed outside. 

Mr. Smith looked at her. “Ms. Steele, aren’t you getting in?” 

Stella shook her head. “I still have something to attend to. Mr. Smith, please send Ruby home first.” 

Ruby stuck her head out of the window. “Mr. Steele, let my dad fetch you home!” Stella, smiling, replied, “I still have something else to do. Go home safe.” 

Although Mr. Smith’s private life wasn’t exactly clean, as Stella remembered all the arrangements he made in the private room, he knew his way around people. He said to Stella,” It’s not safe for a woman to be around so late at night. If you have nothing important, please let me send you home.” 

His words sounded reasonable and kind, and it was hard to associate this man with someone who objectified women. 

Stella shook her head with a smile. There were just too many two-faced people in the world. 

“Thank you, Mr. Smith, for the thought,” she said. “My friend is coming to pick me up.” 

With that, Mr. Smith’s face changed as he looked at Stella with slight curiosity, “Since Ms. 

Steele has things to attend to, we’ll make our move then. Take care on the road.” 

Stella nodded and she looked on as they drove off. 

The look on Mr. Smith’s face clearer indicated that he understood something. 

He had previously coupled Justin with herself. Now that she mentioned a “friend”, he should understand that it’s impossible between Justin and herself, which was why he looked at her that way just now. 

At the very least, he probably won’t involve Justin in the future.
