Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427

Having tasted the pain of being forced to give up her dreams, Stella did not want her only family to have to go through the same thing. 

Right now, she could be dancing or playing the piano on a grand stage. Instead, she was here, staying at Weston’s side as a secret mistress and having to meet her worst enemy every day while she led a soulless life. 

Weston seemed to see through her then, and gently kissed her forehead in sympathy. “Like I said, say yes and I can give you anything you want.” 

Stella pursed her lips and forced a smile, but kept quiet. She would be leaving Weston in a year—if she said yes now, things would be complicated when she leaves. 

The opportunity she had won from Bradley Lane was different because she had done it by her own strength. However, if she were to take what she wanted by using her relationship with Weston, she would become the very kind of person she had always held in contempt. 

Looking up pleadingly in his arms, she asked, “May I go home for the night? I want to talk to Roger.” 

Weston’s embrace slowly tightened, however, and while he did not refuse her directly, the air around them seemed to cool, making it obvious to Stella that he was not happy with that arrangement. 

She hence kept quiet for a long while, and said quietly, “I’ll do anything you want… But today, just for a day… Let me talk to him, please?” 

Her eyes became slightly red and teary-these days, she seemed to have learned what worked best against Weston, and she was getting adept at it.
