Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 382

Chapter 382 Stella was taken aback, having never seen Weston looking like that. 

In the past, his rare bouts of illness would merely inflict slight colds upon him that would go away the next day. During their marriage, Stella had only ever seen him get sick once, but just that once was enough to make her feel as if the sky had fallen on her. 

She stayed by his side and waited on him hand and foot. She would‘ve chosen sickness in his place if she could. Her mind was so fully occupied by him that she couldn‘t do anything else, except take care of him. 

Weston‘s expressions changed slightly. He seemed to be remembering the same thing too. “Please stay by my side, okay?” he begged. It was not at all like Weston to have those imploring eyes. “I...” Stella wavered. “I’ll call for Joan to take care of you.” As soon as she finished her sentence, she saw the light in Weston‘s eyes diminish. He closed his eyes and then in a jiffy, his old distant and aloof personality returned. “Okay,” he answered her briefly in a low, hoarse voice. The abrupt regression to his old self unsettled Stella for some reason. “I‘ll stay home all day,” she told him while avoiding his direct gaze. “I‘ll be in the study, reading my script. If you need anything, you can call for Joan.” She then rushed out of the room. Weston‘s eyes followed her until she closed the door behind her. 

He remembered being sick once when they were still married. It was only a slight cold back then, far less serious than what he was going through now. In fact, he didn‘t even feel ill at all. It was Stella‘s keen eyes that noticed he looked a little off, so she insisted on taking his temperature. 

However, he now realized that he had never actually had a real taste of tender love and care. He used to think that because he could have anything he desired in this world–all the money, resources, and status that many people could only ever dream of ––simple and basic things like genuine love and connection with his family became so insignificant in comparison that he was unable to feel or appreciate them.
